<div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>"Cutie Panther" Ayumi</strong></span></div><br/><div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/BXE9AlI.jpg)</div><strong>Gimmick:</strong>One of Fans' Own<br/><strong>Role:</strong>Babyface<br/><strong>Hails From:</strong>San Francisco, California<br/><strong>Age:</strong>19<br/><strong>Height:</strong>5'2<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>101 lbs<br/><br/><strong>Entrance Music:</strong>BiBi - Cutie Panther (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjVxyBiito8) (imagine a cut where the "Cutie Panther watashi~" chorus comes much earlier). Titontron video is a flashy mix of of Ayumi's high flying spots, intercut with very everyday-like photos that could be straight out of her Instagram (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziMufvto8CU).<br/><br/><strong>Entrance:</strong>As the first<em>Tsukamai Chau!</em>of her song hits, fireworks blast and Ayumi jumps out (quite like the first girl in this live version! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIEtGBlHr-U)). She's all smiles and all energy as she dances to the beat of her high tempo J-pop song! She never forgets to blow kisses and wave in every direction, working the crowd and hyping them up. Ayumi's energy is contagious -- she's clearly loving every second of this!<br/><br/><strong>Ring Attire:</strong>Ayumi always wears a variation of a two-piece outfit -- a top, ample amount of bare midriff, and generally small-ish briefs; together with high wrestling boots or stay-ups. Her most "standard" ring attire is the striking red and white set (as pictured), but she often opts for other similar designs (https://i.imgur.com/22mz5Hu.jpg), or occasionally even more casual variations (https://i.imgur.com/dvR14lb.jpg). Outside the ring, she generally wears girly skirts and outfits that play up her cuteness.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Ayumi is a genuine bundle of smiles and happiness. She's very sociable, quick to make friends, excitable to the point that some may find it annoying, but generally a very likeable person -- the type who lights up a room with her presence. She doesn't really understand why people would be mean and grumpy when they could just smile and not worry about things so much.<br/><br/>When performing, Ayumi is exactly the same, except even more so -- what little filters she has on in normal life are completely off, and Ayumi throws herself head first into the whole experience.<br/><br/><strong>Background/Training:</strong>Ayumi is the daughter of "Panther" Koichi Minami, a well-respected Japanese wrestler who went on to make a long career in the WWF, mostly as a solid and reliable midcarder. Ayumi was born in Japan, but emigrated to the US with her family when she was just two years old, and has lived practically her entire life in the country.<br/><br/>Wrestling has always been a major part of Ayumi's life. She grew up around gyms, locker rooms and wrestling rings, often accompanying her father on his endless tours around the country and the world. Everyone on tour knew her and loved the cute, bubbly little girl who always travelled with "Panther". The wrestling world was Ayumi's second family, and all the wrestlers and other workers were her uncles and aunts.<br/><br/>Ayumi made her father train her from a very small age as well. It was something her father was quite reluctant to do at first, but eventually realized there was no keeping Ayumi away from the wrestling world... it was too deep in her blood. Ayumi would just try to learn on her own if left to her own devices, so he might as well train her properly and teach her how to perform safely. Ayumi was always talented; quick, fearless, and oozing with charisma... but also tiny. They both knew her chances of ever joining a major promotion like WWF as an active wrestler were slim to none -- she just didn't have the physique. Still, Ayumi kept training, for her own sake more than anything else.<br/><br/>In her teens, Ayumi started a Youtube channel under the name "Cutie Panther", as a homage to her father. She vlogged about everything around WWF and the wrestling world. She analysed matches, hyping up storylines, and giving all these little snippets into what she's seen behind the scenes. With her looks, charisma and vast amount of insider knowledge of the wrestling world, Ayumi's channel quickly grew to be the most popular wrestling channel in existence. Ayumi did always still dream of wrestling herself, but her life wasn't bad -- she could still interact with fans and make a living from wrestling; in a sense, anyway.<br/><br/>Ayumi's real shot came quite unexpectedly, almost by accident. Her Youtube channel had grown to millions of subscribers, enough for the WWF to get interested in leveraging that audience. When 'Competition' was started, Ayumi was invited for a couple of backstage appearances: she would produce content for both her own channel, but also do one or two live interviews on the actual show; as well as allow a heel wrestler to gain some heat by being a bitch and disrespecting her.<br/><br/>It was all quite simple and went really well... so well, in fact, that the audience quickly fell in love with Ayumi, and there was a big outcry for her to get payback at said heel. This almost organically grew into an actual storyline, with Ayumi being constantly harassed, and even taking some big bumps (which she was very good at) -- until she had an actual match with her adversary, and actually won, if with some interference.<br/><br/>Almost by accident, Ayumi found herself actually wrestling in the ring, and actually being quite over with the fans. At that point, her signing a proper contract was almost a formality. Ayumi's quick rise from a fangirl youtuber into an active wrestler was a dream come true for both her and her fans. No one expected too much success for her, least of all herself; but almost everyone was always just happy to see her in the ring. As for Ayumi herself -- she just wants to prove she can do it; she loves every second in the ring; and she wants to make sure the fans are always, always happy. After all, she's one of them!<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Stats:</strong></span><Place the following in your stats +3, +2 +1, 0, -1, -2><br/><em>Power:</em>-2<br/><em>Agile:</em>+2<br/><em>Aerial:</em>+3<br/><em>Technical:</em>+1<br/><em>Rough:</em>-1<br/><em>Savvy:</em>+0<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Audience:</strong></span>6<br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Momentum:</strong></span>1<br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Heat:</strong></span>???<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Moves:</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Move Set:</strong><br/>At just 5'2'' and barely 100 pounds, Ayumi is easily one of the smallest, if not the smallest wrestler in the roster. However, she's extremely quick, slippery, and full of surprises. Being just 19 years old, one would expect her to be very inexperienced and naive in the ring... but Ayumi has trained since she was just six, and has sparred with countless seasoned pros over the years. She seems to always come up with a surprise, or miraculously slip out of a hold.<br/><br/>Ayumi's absolutely fearless and lives on the top rope. She doesn't have the strength to pull off meaningful kicks or punches, so she uses her entire body as a weapon. Instead of jabs, Ayumi throws dropkicks; instead of suplexes, she throws moonsaults. She's especially fond of flying DDTs and hurricanranas, using the mass of her bigger opponents against them. Ayumi's constantly full of energy and goes full throttle, non-stop -- she only ever slows down if her opponent manages to stop her on her tracks. (And when she takes a big hit, her small body really goes flying across the ring, which tends to look really devastating -- she's great at selling hits, too!)<br/><br/><strong>Signature Move:</strong><br/>Panther Pounce (Diving Hurricanrana) (https://i.imgur.com/lvnr4sn.gif)<br/>Diving DDT (https://i.imgur.com/h077bhZ.mp4)<br/><br/><strong>Finishing Move:</strong><br/>Pantherrana (Dragonrana) (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wbNDkP65qUE/VafbeI01rTI/AAAAAAAABNU/9ayB82Ly7qk/s1600/DK14.gif)<br/>(Secondary finisher: Snuggle Time (Octopus Hold) (https://i.imgur.com/c2D3xw0.mp4))<br/><br/><div align="center"><div align="center">(https://i.imgur.com/tb7D9xQ.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/FFQvfc4.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/N3eS387.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/jmtUoDW.jpg)  (https://i.imgur.com/T8seQ86.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/i5TyBvG.jpg)</div><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">Faceclaim: Miyawaki Sakura</span></div>
