Character Name: Graysie Parker
Nickname: The Iron Butterfly
Hometown: New Orleans, LA
Height: 5’3”
Weight: 150lbs
Alignment: Babyface
In-Ring Style: Pure Power
Bio:
Graysie grew up on the poor side of New Orleans. Her parents were lower-middle class at best, eeking by with just enough money from their various serving industry gigs and side hustles. Life wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t luxurious either. Hurricane Katrina changed everything, killing both of her parents and washing away everything she’d ever known in an instant. Graysie was nine years old when she lost everything and was put in the system with little hopes at becoming anything more than a statistic.
Nobody bothered telling Graysie that, though! She developed a tenacious attitude early and excelled in both sports and school, becoming a three sport letterman by the time she graduated high school with honors. By far her best sport was wrestling, where she was not only the only girl in her weight class in the entire district, but she was the only wrestler on her team to go undefeated through high school.
College was different. Having nothing to fall back on she depended on her scholarships to pay her way through but she wasn’t ready for the kind of intense competition that college athletics demanded. Not one to shy away from a challenge Graysie put her nose down and decided to outwork everyone, and she would have succeeded had it not been for an untimely trip home to New Orleans where she found herself in the middle of a gang-related incident that saw her catch a stray bullet in the shoulder during a drive-by shooting.
Recovery was long and hard, and her absence from school resulted in the forfeiture of the scholarships that made college a possibility in the first place. Devastated once again Graysie almost let herself succumb to depression, but in yet another example of her iron will she decided to leave and relocate to Tampa where she was “discovered” in a local gym by a female wrestler of some significance who offered to train Graysie to wrestle professionally.
Time went by and Graysie, as usual, was the top student. She was frustrated with training, though, ready to step out of the gym and into the business and make her mark but her trainer wanted her to continue her training for another six months to make sure that she had the fundamentals down to the point of reflex. In a shining example of Graysie’s bull-headed and rebellious nature she ended up leaving the gym one day with a visiting instructor who also happened to be a double hall-of-famer and successful former promoter who offered to take her on the road and manage her.
Long story short, that shit didn’t work out. Graysie struck out on her own again, this time making her way to Japan for a tour with one of the smaller women’s leagues where once again she started making a name for herself. This is also where she met Kazuhiro Katayama; the two of them quickly becoming fast friends and training partners.
And now? Well now Graysie is ready to make her Action Wrestling debut and put it all on the line one more time!
Attire:
Wrestling singlet that accentuates function rather than fashion, eschewing the finer points of showing skin to ensure that everything stays where it’s supposed to while she’s dropping people on their heads! Color scheme usually keeps to black and orange with the occasional flash of something else depending on the occasion. She doesn’t wear pads at the elbows or knees and where’s short, black, minimalistic wrestling boots.
Theme song: “Money Good” by Megan Thee Stallion
Pic Base: Jordynne Grace
At first you think she’s small, then you take a closer look and you realize that she’s thick (ne: thicc) in all the right places! She’s curvy but in impeccable shape earned through an intense power-based workout routine. She has thick, brown-ish, shoulder-length hair with orange highlights that she sometimes usually wears up when wrestling. Her skin-tone is a light olive complexion.
