ENTRANCE MUSIC:
"Just Close Your Eyes" by Waterproof Blonde

Entrance- A black sleeveless, ankle length hooded robe with a delicate ivory colored vine-like pattern trailing up from the bottom hem, up the left and right sides of the front and going up either side of the hood.

The waistband of the pants, bottom hem of the top and the lace up pattern on said top are all outlined in a vibrant shade of pink.

CHAMPIONSHIP ENTRANCE:
CHARACTER BACKGROUND
PERSONALITY:
Cocky. Prideful. Antagonistic. A royal bitch. All things used to describe Savannah to a t. She has never been one to go out of her way to endear herself to her fellow coworkers, which has led to her becoming sort of a loner. She has a chip on her shoulder the size of Texas, which comes from years of being told she’s not quite good enough. Despite all she has achieved, she is secretly longing for one thing and one thing only……..respect from her coworkers.
STRENGTHS:
1. 1. Athleticism- With her physical conditioning at a peak, she can do things in the ring not everyone can.
2. Speed and agility- She relies on her quickness to help her get the win
3. Keine Angst- She has virtually no fear when it comes to either putting herself at risk or pulling off some incredible moves.
WEAKNESSES:
1. Ego- Her inflated sense of self-importance can cause her to lose focus on the match at times.
2. Small stature- Pretty self-explanatory. She struggles against opponents much larger than she is, thus relying on her quickness and striking abilities to get the job done.
3. Lack of a connection with the fans- When times get tough in the ring, Savannah’s lack of any sort of bond with the fans can hurt her, leaving her on an island by herself so to speak.
TAUNTS/MANNERISMS:
1. When the fans are voicing their obvious displeasure towards her (which happens a LOT) and they favor her opponent, Savannah will stand with her arms folded across her chest and will roll her eyes quite heavily, before dismissing them and the opposition with a wave of her hand.
2. When setting her opponent up for the Dancing Mad, Savannah will blow a kiss to her opponent before kneeing their head clean off their shoulders.

BACKGROUND:
Growing up in the heart of Sin City, Savannah Taylor dreamed of a better, more stable life, even from a young age. When she was only five years old, she was taken from the only home that she had known and placed in one of the worst situations anyone could imagine….foster care. From the age of five right up until her eighteenth birthday, Savannah was bounced around from foster home to foster home, never finding the love and sense of family that was taken away from her. Upon graduation from high school, Savannah enrolled at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. While in college pursuing a degree in marketing, Savannah found herself enrolling in a local wresting school. Wrestling school was a great way to not only pursue something that she had been a longtime fan of, but it would also help her get out some long buried issues. Upon graduation from UNLV, Savannah was travelling all around not only Nevada, but the West Coast as a whole, doing various independent shows for crowds of all degrees of sizes, but not numbering more than around five hundred. One night as she was sitting in the locker room after a match, a man approached her with an offer of more stability in wrestling. That man was Nicholas Gray, the owner of the San Diego, California based EXODUS Pro.
Soon Savannah found herself with her first taste of the big leagues in wrestling. Initial, it was a bit rough out of the gate, but she hit something of a stride and soon found herself slowly climbing the ranks of EXODUS, winning the San Diego Bay championship, which was her very first singles title. Ever. A feud with the monster known as Justin Brooks seemed to elevate the Las Vegas Native. The series of matches the two had were considered to be some of the best in the company, and definitely among Savannah’s favorites. The two would trade the International championship back and forth, Brooks having it first, then Savannah besting him for it, then Savannah dropping it back to Brooks. The matches she had with Brooks were grueling, but they also reminded Savannah of why she loved this business. Around early 2015, Savannah soon caught the attention of one Samantha Star, who invited Savannah as a guest at one of the shows FFW was putting on. One thing led to another, and Savannah was signed to an FFW contract, all the while keeping her EXODUS commitments. Working in two companies would keep Savannah busy, but this would not last. On December 7th of that same year, life in wrestling changed for Savannah. It was her ultimate moment, her crowning achievement. That day saw her hard work pay off as she won the EXODUS Pro World championship. Her glory was short lived as circumstances beyond anyone’s imagination saw the closure of EXODUS Pro. Savannah didn’t rest for very long, because the day after the Fall of EXODUS, Savannah was in New Jersey signing her contract with the Jersey based Frontier Grappling Arts, a place that she is still with to this day.

RING ENTRANCE:
There was silence; the lights began to fade away slowly. A soft instrumental echoes out across the audience. It starts slowly, a beautiful sound that contrasts the heaviness of the world. Like feathers, it glides among the waiting audience. The lighting fixtures produce a gentle spotlight upon the stage, offset by the occasional flash here and there. As the song continues, a woman’s words begin to come through. Her voice is tender, not raising upon a whisper.
On the stage, a feminine figure appears. Her head lowered to everything. People cannot make out who it is. As she stands there, the flashes briefly illuminate her figure. It only gives small clues on who stands at the gate. She stands in the spotlight, her shadow cast large and proudly among the stage.
The instrumental picks up again. An electric guitar now joins the progressively exciting instrumentals of before. The singer’s voice suddenly intensifies.
In the light, it is revealed that it was Savannah Taylor. She stands at the gate, a robe of obsidian and ivory hues. The hood of it shadows her eyes, but the intensity of the final EXODUS World Champion remains clear as day. She starts off down the ramp, with a serious aura radiating from her body.
(Ring announcer stuff here)
Savannah makes her way up the ring steps. She looks out towards the audience for a moment before entering the ring. From there, she heads for a turnbuckle. She stands there, taking in everything. She then lifts her up on top of it. She peers out in nothing, then takes off the hood with a flashy flourish. Her blonde locks fly up in the air. They descend, shaping her face as they famously do.
While she stands in her corner, she closes her eyes and takes a heavy breath. When her bright eyes open, Taylor is completely composed. There is nothing more than the heat of battle awaiting her. She takes off her robe, giving it to a stagehand. She stretches her wrists before devoting her mind to the war upon the horizon..
Deceived by my eyes and all I was told I should see
Opinions not mine, the person they taught me to be
One night in the dark, a vision of someone I knew
And in the darkness I saw, a voice say, I'm you.
Opinions not mine, the person they taught me to be

And in the darkness I saw, a voice say, I'm you.

Inside me a light was turned on…
