She wears turquoise and white boots, again depicting the Scottish flag and red rose on them.

Theme Music: 'When The Battle Is Over' by The Gordon Highlanders

Entrance: The orange strobe lights flash as the bagpipes and drums of 'When The Battle Is Over' introduce Louise McDowell as she appears on stage to a reaction of cheers and wolf whistles, she soaks in the crowd reaction, waving to the fans as she walks down to the ring, she slides under the bottom rope into the ring and poses on the middle rope of the turnbuckle by throwing her arms up to yet more cheers. She then hops off and waits in the corner as the song fades and the lights return to normal.

Special Entrance:{Your entrance for big/special events. Leave blank if this is the same as your normal entrance.}

Primary Style: Speed

Other Style: Occasionally Hardcore

Strengths: Her tragic past has inspired in her an intense desire to never be rendered helpless again and to defend herself fiercely from attacks, sometimes a little too fiercely in fact.

Weaknesses: A particular sight or sound often from her memory can trigger flashbacks to her trauma and thereby cause her a distraction, disorientation, although generally such instances are brief and sporadic, they are unpredictable and hence may strike at a time to benefit her opposition.

Louise speaks with a heavy Scottish accent and as such her roleplays relfect this as she expresses herself in her dialect in both her thoughts and feelings. Her roleplays are best read phonetically. The following is a rough guide to help you understand her speech pattern as it is written and may be expanded as required. If you have trouble reading her roleplays, please refer to this.

In most common words, any occurences of 'ou' or 'ow' become 'oo'. Examples: You (Yoo) Your (Yoor) Down (Doon) Hour (Hoor).

The word 'you' can also have the following variations based on where emphasis is placed in a sentence:

Yah, ye...

Similarly 'my' becomes mah or me, again based on where the emphasis is.

Letters are often missed off words.The letter 'T' for example can both be missed as indicated by an apostrophe, as in the case of 'not' (no') or that (tha'). Other common letters that are missed off are illustrated through example below:

Missing 'G' - most common in words ending 'ing' to become in'

Missing V - example: giving becomes gi'in'

Missing F - example: myself becomes mahsel'

There are also some instances where letters are substituted in the dialect, e.g.

Alright = Awrigh'

In cases of uncertainty, it is best to consider the context of the sentence in which the contraction is being used. 

Common contractions ending in "n't" are replaced instead with 'nae' as in the following example:

Cannot = Cannae

Do not = Dunnae

Where an 's' occurs in a contraction, it is commonly replaced with a 'z' as follows:

is not = izne (pronounced is knee)

does not = dizne (prounounced disney)

was not = wizne (pronounced whizz knee)

Occurences of 'aid' or 'ead' in a word emphasise the 'ee' as in these words as follows:

said = seid (pronounced seed)

head = heid (pronounced heed)

Common word pronunciation/slang:

lass/lassie = girl/woman.
yes = aye
no = ne/naw
long = lang
should = shid
would = wid
was = wiz
does = diz
for = fur
'ne = any
'nemore = any/no more
one = wan
child/kid/baby = wane
on = an
I = Ah

Putting some of this all together in a sentence for example, you may read:

Och, awrigh' yoo've made yoor point, bu' Ah still cannae understan' a bloody word the lass seid.

This is translated into:

Oh alright, you've made your point but I still cannot understand a bloody word the woman said.

As this is a text based game and most of you are Americans here, I appreciate that some of you may find it difficult to grasp the accent and dialect I am trying to replicate in written form her roleplays, and therefore to aid your understanding, I link below a couple of useful instructional videos that you should watch through at least once to get the idea, particularly if you are struggling.
