Brief Character Bio:
Kenzie's dad was in the military since she was born, meaning that she would come to recognize herself as an Army brat. Moving from station to station as a kid, it was near impossible for her to keep in contact with the friends she made once they had to move again aside from Spencer Walsh. The two met in high school. Spencer and Kenzie once tried to date, but it didn't work out, and so they decided to remain friends and to this day remain protective of each other as platonic partners in crime. Spencer's natural charismatic assertive personality counters Kenzie's indecisive sometimes naive nature, a dynamic that made two parts of a whole.
After graduating high school, with Spencer's help orchestrating the whole process, she embarked on a journey to learn how to wrestle. That's when she signed up for the legend White Phoenix's wrestling school and moved to Nashville, Tennessee in a cheap studio apartment with Spencer. After two strict years of training, White Phoenix got her a job in the big leagues - Inferno Wrestling. October 2015. It was sink or swim. Thankfully, Kenzie swam. Taught further by multi-time champion Adrien Cochrane of EXODUS fame, she did moderately well in Inferno Wrestling until the end of its second season. She's expected to come back for the third should it happen.
Using her knowledge, absorbing the things White Phoenix, Adrien Cochrane, her father and several others taught her, along with the disciplined nature she picked up from living in military bases nearly all her life, she focused her attention towards New Generation Wrestling. When she first started out, Spencer was Kenzie's mouthpiece while she fought in the ring. With each win came more confidence and soon Kenzie was doing her promos on a regular basis instead. That was a big step for her. Since then, she's been a Rags 2 Riches 2016 winner and held her first championship. She's been a major player since. She's also recently started to wrestle for FFW as well.
Now, she's standing on her own two feet. Wielding a newfound confidence, she's ready to rely on herself more than anyone else. Stronger than ever, emotionally, mentally, and physically, this is her chance to carve her own path without Spencer or anyone else consistently on her side.
Wrestling Style:
High flying Muay Thai kickboxer. Muay Thai means she'll use all her limbs including her knees and elbows to strike her opponent. Kenzie's body is frailer than most, meaning she has to rely on evasion techniques like dodging. It also means she can't lift most opponents, so she prefers using moves that can be performed on anyone.
Ring Gear:
She wears black wrestling boots with a slight combat boot aesthetic over simple black long tights with a matching black sleeveless tank top brandishing a simple signature KR logo on the chest. On her hands, black Everlast fingerless grappling gloves make it easier to fight and on the way to the ring, she wears an open bomber jacket over her ring gear. Sometimes that jacket can have patches that fit the current context sown into the fabric, and it varies between colors like black, tan, brown, red, etc. Also, she ties her hair up into a ponytail before a match.

Please list two signature moves:
1. leg lariat — Also referred to as a jumping leg lariat or a running calf kick, Kenzie runs towards her an opponent, jumps and wraps her leg around the opponent's head/neck knocking the opponent to the ground. Followed by the springboard moonsault.
2. springboard moonsault — running into a springboard moonsault knee drop across a supine opponent from the middle rope using both knees. This is used in succession to the leg lariat. Set-up for either finisher.
Please list two finishers:
1. "The Jackknife" or "Jackknife" — The jackknife kick, also known in wrestling as a variation of a jumping corkscrew roundhouse kick, is the most advanced kick in Kenzie's arsenal. In one graceful movement, she lands three strikes in mid-air from a standing position after a wake-up taunt (gesturing her opponent to get to their feet with her arms, crouched forward) right after the springboard moonsault. It can happen during a run too. It's one of the most powerful kicks in wrestling today.
2. "Phoenix Strike" — Originally referred as the flying phoenix strike, Kenzie will climb the turnbuckle and either from the middle rope or the top, jump towards a standing opponent and land a wild mid-air tornado kick straight towards the opponent's head. It's a desperation move and an ode to her trainer White Phoenix. Sometimes when the angle is right, it can knock the opponent into the ropes and out of the ring.

Basic Entrance:
[b][Once distorted noises hit the PA system, the lights flickered. Darkness enveloped the arena aside for a few rogue spotlights cast over the enthusiastic crowd. Every pair of eyes gazed towards the stage while the heavy guitar of "Break Out" by The Letter Black underscored the emotion throughout the building. Once the inspirational voices finally joined the rhythmic drum beats and the shredding guitar, the crowd erupted as Kenzie Rydell walked out onto the stage with a wistful smile on her face.][/b]
[b][Standing on the stage wearing an open bomber jacket over her ring gear, she took a few short moments to bask in the atmosphere. Fixing her stance, she straightened her back and swung her hips to the side. With a simple smirk, she exuded as much confidence as she could, bright hazel hues scanning across all the people in attendance tonight. Visage set towards the ring ahead, she walked forward, her stride strong as ever. Looking to her side, she pointed towards the cheap seats, letting their cheers rain down as she neared the ring with every step.][/b]
[b][A brief weary expression crossed her features once she stopped in her tracks, standing at the bottom of the isle. With a deep breath, she took her time walking towards the steel steps. One after the other, she shot the crowd another proud grin, listening to them making their voices heard as she reached the top of the steps. The young Muay Thai specialist walked across the apron, her palm clutching the top rope until she got to the middle. Turning to face the crowd towards the stage, she spread her arms like a phoenix and rested her elbows on the top rope, the sides of her mouth curling upward yet again as she heard the crowd's reaction intensify. Turning around, she climbed over the second rope and entered the ring, spinning a couple of times in one graceful movement before lifting her arms for the crowd's approval. Heading towards her corner, she took off her jacket and gave it to someone outside the ring. Back in her corner, she bounced back and forth on the heels of her boots, preparing herself while the song faded into audio obscurity.][/b]

One after the other, she shot the crowd another proud grin, listening to them making their voices heard as she reached the top of the steps.
