ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION
"Sin City's cold and empty..."
As the opening notes begin, the lights go out, save for a single spotlight on the top of the stage. Betsy comes out, but she’s only a silhouette at this point. Just as the drum strikes it’s second note, Betsy dabs and the lights come back. The song starts from the refrain as Betsy starts dancing down the ramp.
“Sin City’s cold and empty
No one’s around to judge me
I can’t see clearly when your gone-one-one”
Arms out, Betsy begins twirling around wildly, blonde ponytail whipping about with her, as she slaps hands with fans on both sides of the ramp. The chorus hits just as Betsy baseball slides into the ring.
“And I said ooooh, I’m blinded by the lights
I can’t sleep until I feel your touch
And I said ooooh, I’m drowning in the night
Oh, when I’m like this, you’re the one I trust”
As the chorus chimes on, Betsy bounces up and hops up onto every ring corner, pumping her fist and bobbing her head in time with the song, getting the fans hyped up for the upcoming bout. When she finishes playing up the fans, she starts bouncing in place, preparing mentally for the bout.
ALIGNMENT
Chaotic Good
GIMMICK
Intelligent and quirky, oh, and she's a time traveler. No, really.
RING PSYCHOLOGY (IN-RING ATTITUDE)
Methodical and calculating, but always exciting. Always ten steps ahead of her opponent, Betsy is friendly and fair in the way she fights. However, the chaotic side of her nature allows her to bend the rules when the situation calls for it. But she'll never do anything outright dirty to win.
WRESTLING STYLE
(SELECT A MAX OF TWO)
ENTERTAINER: Your character feeds off of the crowd, giving them what they want and using their cheers to drive them toward victory.
PURORESU: Your character uses moves based on full contact martial arts - strikes, kicks, punches, takedowns and submission maneuvers.
ATTITUDE TOWARDS CHEATING
Occasionally bends the rules, but won't do anything extreme to get the job done
STRENGTHS
1. Intelligence - Exceptionally bright, Betsy is most likely the smartest person in every room she enters. Her goofy personality masks a sharp mind.
2. Charm - Vivacious and friendly, Betsy has an innate ability to befriend most anyone - even those you wouldn't suspect would be so susceptible to her outgoing personality.
3. Defender - Betsy can't stand bullies, and will never hesitate to stand up for anyone who needs it, even if it risks alienation.
WEAKNESSES
1. Self-Doubt - Betsy's competitive nature doesn't allow her to take losses very well. There will always be a period of doubt after a loss as to whether she's still good enough or not.
2. Hero Complex - For as noble as she believes she is, her willingness to jump into any mess can land her into worse trouble. Sometimes, she doesn't know when to stay out out of a situation.
3. Over-Ambitious - If there is such a thing as being entirely too goal-driven to the point of tunnel vision, it's Betsy. Once she sets her sights on someone or something, she tends to forget the rest of the world around her... Which can come at the expense of her own well-being.
ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT DO
She'll never play the numbers game on opponents, nor will she ever sink to the levels the worst heels would to win. Even if she's been battered and beaten to an inch of her life, she'll never stoop to backhanded tactics.

[Gabby Epstein]Older Sister
DOES NOT APPEAR ON VICTORY
BIOGRAPHYBetsy grew up on a small farm in Bellevue, Iowa. Even as a child, Betsy was exceptionally clever and cognitively ahead of the curve. This trait was met in two very different styles by her parents Joel and Elena. While Joel doted on and encouraged his daughter's brainy ways, Elena was disappointed that Betsy wasn't more like her sister, beauty pageant queen Adelaide. Shy and quiet when she was younger, Betsy was dubbed "Brainy Betsy" by her classmates and bullied mercilessly for it. After she graduated high school at 16, Betsy still couldn't find her way, even among the older students who were mentally up to speed. She was quickly accepted to the University of California in San Diego, where she met her best friends Elizabeth Lannister and Adam Sanders. They shared her lifelong passion for wrestling and as luck would have it, EXODUS Pro would soon make the RIMAC on their university campus it's permanent home.
After two years there, the friends went their separate ways. Adam and Elizabeth both pursued in-ring careers while Betsy ran away to Europe to finish out her education at the University of Oxford. Earning a double degree in Linguistics and Foreign Policy, Betsy set out on her first attempt in the ring. Without proper training, she crashed and burned quickly, retreating from the spotlight with her tail between her legs. She kept a low-profile, but remained friends with those she had met in her short time in the business. Before too long, she got the itch again, only this time, she knew she needed to seek out a proper mentor. This is how she ended up on the doorstep of Andreas and Heather Lasiewicz. The two legendary wrestlers took her in and trained her in their two unique styles, which is what she brings to the ring to this day.
In the midst of all this, she managed to form a deep connection with James Raven, and the two have been together since January of 2019. Even though they are the quintessential "fairy-tale" couple now, their beginning had a rocky start. The two fell in love while she was still dating another wrestler, Chuck Matthews. Though they never took it any farther than a stolen kiss, it was enough for Betsy to know where her heart was. Yet, this was the same time her head was turned by the Time Lord known only as Jon Smithee. He whisked her away, temporarily turning her head away from James in favor of the entire universe. For a time, James came along, but he soon felt uncomfortable with the fact that Mr. Smithee also wanted Betsy. He decided to stay home and let Betsy know that he wouldn't wait around for her forever. It didn't take long for it to drive her mad and she made the decision to return to Earth to be with the man of her dreams.
She continued to train with the Lasiewiczs' as well as Raven and fellow wrestler Shawn Warstein. Both men were impressed with her determination and ability to pick up everything quickly. It was barely a year after she started training with them that they were both encouraging her to get into the ring. Stepping foot first in the XWF, she quickly turned heads with her natural talent and her debut, in which she almost uncrowned the current Shooting Star Champion. It didn't take her long to follow James and Shawn to GCWA, where, along with Noah Jackson and Jackson Hart, she was accepted into Legacy. She quickly caught attention there too, winning their Righteous Rumble 2020 tournament and nearly uncrowning GCWA Champion, Mack O'Connor. She also found herself in the XHF Network, where she quickly fell in with her best friend Adam Sanders and won their Phoenix Championship in her second match.
Even through all of that, the wanderlust burned heavily in her heart. She held it at bay for as long as she could, but it just became too much for her to handle. Using the tome of Time Lord Technology she'd stolen from Mr. Smithee, Betsy proceeded to build her own TARDIS out of an old Bill and Ted style phone booth given to her by Shawn. Giving it a purple paint-job and naming it Excellence (how fitting, am I right?), Betsy now whizzes about the universe and the wrestling world at her own pace, defying the odds and making the impossible happen. After all, she didn't earn the nickname "The Impossible Traveler" by being ordinary.
However, a dark secret has just been revealed, a secret that she is now on a mission to uncover completely. Her entire world has been flipped upside down by the revelation that her family isn't her real family... Nor is she a true citizen of Earth. Desperate now to figure out who she is and what happened to her planet, Betsy uses the ring as a desperate bid to stay connected to her humanity. Though she has the full support of her family, friends, and loved ones in this new venture, Betsy can't help but feel a sense of betrayal and does everything she can to make sure she still loves her life here. Still, the secrets of her life trouble her, so don't be surprised if she doesn't make sense from time to time...
All of Time and Space, and Betsy still managed to end up here. For better or for worse, Pro-Wrestling Excellence now has to contend with the chaotic energy that is Betsy Granger!
