Wrestler's Name: Charlotte Shimizu
Nickname(s):
Common/Generic --
Gimmick:
Charlotte has just returned home from seven long years in Japan, most of which was spent in a Japanese pro-wrestling promotion. Dissatisfied with the role she was forced to play there, she moved back to Oklahoma to be near her parents and siblings and see about continuing her Wrestling career in a place where she can actually be herself.
Height: 5’ 7”/170cm
Weight: 126lbs/57kg
Place of Birth: Tahlequah, OK
Alignment: Face
Pic Base: Violet Payne
Secondary Pic Base: N/A
Appearance/Attire: Charlotte keeps her dark brown hair in a long braid that almost reaches her waist, with several smaller braids along the crown of her head that are strung with yellow, red, blue, black and white beads and small feathers. In certain lights or moods, her brown eyes show flecks of gold or green. Her coppery skin reflects more of her Cherokee heritage than her Japanese side, but the shape of her eyes and nose aren’t quite as strong as such Native American features are, and her face maintains a youthful look like most Asians, giving her a younger appearance. Despite a lack of definition, every inch of her is lean and toned.
Charlotte typically wears an iridescent white halter top with a beaded fringe around the hem. Prominently on the front is a simple medicine wheel with a large red circle behind it, showcasing her dual heritage. Her pleated skirt is full and bright red, reminiscent of the skirt worn by Shinto shrine maidens, but only comes down to mid-thigh, leaving her white leggings and black boots fully visible. The boots, while not fringed, have bands of tribal beading around the tops and at the ankles in bright blues, greens, yellows and reds, set off against the black by white backing.
Theme Music: “Tit For Tat” - MYTH & ROID
Entrance:
Before the music starts, the tron lights to show a red sun slowly rising over a broad expanse of ocean. The image flies apart into a flurry of red feathers and pink flower petals as the music hits. When the introductory chorus drops, Charlotte strides out, right fist pumping into the air in rhythm with the words “Oh yeah”.
She circles the outside of the ring after the intro chorus and the first verse, pausing briefly at each side to work the crowd before climbing nimbly up to the apron before the last line of the verse. On the apron, she takes a running start from one corner towards the ringpost opposite. At the last second, she jumps up to the second turnbuckle and flips over the top rope, landing feet together and hands raised just as the chorus hits again. She again circles, pumping her fist high in time with the pounding guitar and screaming vocals of MYTH & ROID.
As the chorus comes to its end, Charlotte stands in the center of the squared circle and bows from her waist to the audience, her hands clasped at her chest. To her fading music, she strides purposefully to her corner and starts shaking out her hands and rolling her neck in preparation for the coming match.
EXIT:
Charlotte walks slowly up the ramp, smiling slightly and giving some love to the cheering crowd. At the top, she turns to face the crowd and, with her hands clasped at her chest, she bows at her waist to the crowd before leaving.
Special Entrance: Same as Entrance (for now)
Primary Style: High Flying
Secondary Style: Strong
Strengths:
Fearless -- Charlotte’s absolutely unafraid of taking hits or falls. She’ll dive from the top of the turnbuckle to the floor outside the ring without hesitation if she has even the smallest chance of landing a hit. Sure her opponent might get out of the way in time… but again, they might not.
Something to Prove -- Charlotte wants to find where she belongs now that she’s found the path to that place through Wrestling. She’s not going to stop until she finds how far she can go.
Leverage Games -- Charlotte is a master of compensating for her lack of physical strength. While quickness and agility are her primary methods, she also knows how to use her surroundings and even her own opponents’ movements to give her the leverage she needs to throw larger opponents.
Weaknesses:
No D*mned Brakes -- Charlotte’s need for approval and acceptance will drive her far beyond her body’s limits, making her sloppy and more prone to getting injured
Chip on the Shoulder -- After a lifetime of being called half-this or half-that, Charlotte’s fed up with it. Trash talk is part of the business, but being pigeon-holed into one part of her identity can send her off script.
Built Like A Bird -- While being light and quick on her feet is clearly an advantage, Charlotte has sacrificed her strength for it. She doesn’t have the raw power necessary to lift many of her opponents from a grounded position unless she’s using their momentum against them.

Hooks:
- Charlotte spent 6 years with Neo-Honshu Professional Wrestling, primarily based on the northern end of Japan and rarely venturing further south than Tokyo. Their shows are not broadly available, but can be found online if you look hard enough.
- In Neo-Honshu, Charlotte (known there as Charlie Clearwater, the Gaijin Priestess), she was cast as a Heel and relegated to a sort of "Enhancement Heel" sort of roll. When the management was ready to bring a new star on the scene out of their enhancement core, they'd have to fight past The Gaijin Priestess before they could get their time in the spotlight.
- Charlotte says she wrestled for 7 years, but the first year is virtually undocumented since she spent it with Sapporo Hachimangū. Anything recorded from that time is generally in the form of montages put out by Hachimangū Dojo, though some locals have been known to record their monthly shows and post them online.
