Name: "Mockingbird" Nina Grimsson
Age: 21
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 110 lbs
Hometown: Detroit, Michigan
Allignment: Face
Wrestler's Look & Ring Attire: Nina is a beautiful young women with long, silky black hair, which stretches to the middle of her back, and icey blue eyes. She has a slender and curvaceous figure and a very athletic build. She has four tattoos: 1. the Nordic rune for courage on her right forearm 2. the Nordic rune for victory on her right forearm. 3. The word "Discipline" written in Japanese kanji down her back 4. Ghost Rider's flaming skull on her abdomen. She also sports an eyebrow ring as well as several ear piercings. Her wrestling attire comprises of torn white jeans with skull designs printed on them, shirts of various heavy metal bands, black Nike amateur wrestling shoes, black kicking pads, and both of her hands heavily wrapped in white tape.
Gimmick: At first glance, Nina appears to just be your average teenage heavy metal musician. However, the there is far more to the tough as nails Detroit native than meets the eye. Although 21, Nina already has vast experience in the sport of pro wrestling. Having debuted in the Japanese based BLAZE promotion merely a month after her 15th birthday, she has quickly risen to the top in both women's wrestling and women's shootfighting. As an expert in Judo, Aikido, Muay Thai, Marine Force Recon LINE combat hand to hand tactics, as well as in technical and submission wrestling, Nina is a very tough opponent. To top it all off, her streetfighting skills give her a hardcore edge to bring to the table as well. This was evident in her remarkably brutal feud with her close friend and once tag team partner, Lisa Drake, as the two women put each other on the shelf for months.
The daughter of an Icelandic Olympic gold medal winning wrestler and an East German classical musician, Nina's parents died when she was three. This left her and her older brothers, Chad and Erik, in foster care. She does, however, have her father's passion for combative competition and her mother's passion for music. As so, Nina juggles her wrestling career and her music career as the lead guitarist for her all-female metal band, "The Valkyries of Chaos", with equal enthusiasm.
For all of her skill and toughness, Nina is still a warm and friendly person who has not let her love for combat harden her heart. She keeps her friends close and defends them, both physically, and verbally, with utmost vigor. Humble to a fault, Nina is always the first to congratulate a victorious opponent, praise a losing opponent who fought a great fight, rush to an injured opponent's aid, or offer to help less experienced wrestlers. This goes for anyone, the only exceptions being her absolutely most hated foes. The women who are unlucky enough to fall on that list soon find that Nina wears a different face for them. It is safe to say that the violence in matches between Nina and her most hated foes is nothing short of shocking.
Theme Song: "Extreme Aggressions" by Kreator
15-20 Common Moves in Arsenal: Series of Muay Thai knees to opponents head and chest, Series of Muay Thai elbows to opponents head, Headbutt, Palm Strikes, Judo and Aikido throws, Nerve and pressure point holds, Punch Combos, Thrust Kick, Standing Spin Kick, Jumping Spin Kick, Dragon-Screw Leg whip Belly-to-Belly release suplex, Reverse Punch, Iron Claw, T-Bone Suplex, Rings of Saturn, Belly-to-Back release suplex, Royal Octopus submission hold, Jumping kneelift, Falcon Arrow, Series of Headbutts[Nina has a tendency to go overboard with this move, busting open both her opponent's forehead and her own], Forehead and Face Bite[Saved for her worst enemies]
3-5 Signature Moves:
Crashing heel kick (Nina kicks above her opponent, and then strikes her violently with her heel while bringing her leg down)
Murderous Air Wave Drop (overhead suplex off the top turnbuckle, but Nina firmly holds on until the last moment dropping her opponent viciously on the top of their head.)
Triangular Arm Lock
Figure Four Arm Lock
Shining Wizard
Setup Move & How It's Done: Uppercut palm strike to the jaw
Finisher & How It's Done:
1. The Dragon Spike [Devestating Spike heel kick to the center of the opponent's chest.]
2. The Marine Throat Lock [When performing this move, Nina takes her thumb and index finger to the top of her opponents throat and squeezes the present pressure point very tightly. She will use this move as a finisher sometimes and also as a setup for The Dragon Spike. This move is very similar to the Tongan Death Grip except that Nina only uses her thumb and index finger as opposed to her entire hand.]
Strengths:
1. Brawling Skills: Nina's technical wrestling, grappling, and martial arts skills are very well documented. However, her ability to handle herself in a wild slugfest and when the weapons come into play is just as impressive. Growing up on the streets of Detroit as well as with two older brothers have prepared her well for this.
2. Strength: Although small in stature, Nina is surprisingly physically powerful. You won't see her using any gorilla presses or jackhammers, but the power of her strikes is shocking from someone her size. As is the impact with which she slams opponents to the mat with her throws and suplexes.
3. Punishment Absorber: Simply put, Nina can take a sickening beating. In fact, she can do it many times over, then get back up and smile at you before she tears into you with everything she has. Her stamina and resilience is nothing short of miraculous.
Weaknesses:
1. Never quits: Even the toughest people have their limits, and if she's in trouble, Nina always chooses to go beyond hers instead of throwing in the towel. This has led to disaster for Nina in the past and put heron the shelf for extended periods of time.
2. Size: Tough and strong as she is, Nina is still very undersized and can sometimes be tossed around by larger opponents as a result.
3. Tunnel Visioned: Nina can take blood feuds to a major extreme. If she feels that someone has wronged her in any way, she will go to any length to make her pay. Her inability to let slights go has cost her title shots and standing in the past, as well as her health at times. And it seems that this trend is not going to end anytime soon.
