Wrestler Info
Wrestler's Name: Eli Dresden.
Alias/Nicknames: None that are official.
Height: 5’3”.
Weight: 144 lbs.
Alignment: Tweener leaning face.
Hometown: Pittsburgh, PA
Picture Base: Natalie Dormer as a blond with no side shave.
Wrestler's Outlook: Uh, how does one define Eliza Dresden? Her intentions are great and grand and so on, but what she's willing to do to get to them is perhaps a... bit over the top in places. That's the best way to describe her, really-- she is eternally turned up to eleven, with a sharp and sarcastic wit that she doesn't always know how to dial back. Some probably will find it charming, but most will probably just side-eye her, go 'Riiiight…' and fall silent. Her mouth's bound to get her in trouble with the big and intimidating heels since she takes as well to bullying sorts as a roomful of drunken Steelers fans would to a disrespectful Browns fan that wouldn't stop trying to cop a feel on someone's girlfriend, and it wouldn't be unusual for her to get in well over her head on a fairly regular basis. Such is where she truly shines, though, displaying tenacity and durability that can be surprising sometimes.
Background: Before coming to the XHF Network, Eli was on the verge of giving up on her dream of making it as a professional wrestler after a few false starts. In NLW, though, Eli came into her own in a major way, becoming the only woman to ever sit at the top of the mountain as heavyweight champion. In that same period of time, she took down Hyperion and took possession of his trident. A lot of personal turmoil, though, threw Eli off her game and, when NLW closed, it seemed as if she were gone forever, something a lackluster performance at 2023’s Cruiserfest seemed to confirm.
…but yet here she is, damnable smirk and all, to prove those doubters wrong.
Allies: Uhhh… who knows? It’s gonna vary. Spike Kane thinks she’s pretty neat.
Entrance Info
Entrance Music: Untouchable by Motionless in White
Entrance Description: 'Untouchable' hits the sound system as the overhead lights dim, the crowd loudly cheering for the woman that is about to emerge. Blue and white lights flash along the rampway as spotlights of similar shades swirl over the crowd... and Eliza Dresden doesn't make them wait for long. Bounding out from behind the curtain, Dresden is quick to make her way to the top of the ramp with Jason Long's technicolor light-up shades shoved up to act like a headband of sorts--and once she's there? She thrusts the latter into the air, earning a fresh wave of cheers. Of course, since she can't be idle for long, Eli is quick to bounce and poing her way down to the ring, darting from side to side to slap offered hands and otherwise play to the crowd. It's about three-fourths of the way down the ramp that she abandons that, speeding up to slide into the ring headfirst on her stomach before she twists onto her back and kips up to her feet. She's quick to mount the nearest turnbuckle, shoving a fist skyward to more of that positive reaction from the fans before she's popping back down and turning to look toward the middle of the ring. As her music fades, she hands the glasses over to a production assistant before bouncing around on the balls of her feet, eagerly waiting for the match to get underway.
In-Ring Info
Wrestling Style: Atradtional high-flyer. (To elaborate on her mindset--even though she wants to win her matches, Eliza's also a fan of having fun while she's at it. It won't be anything disrespectful-- well, not too disrespectful--unless her opponent decides to go above and beyond that bit of playfulness that she deems to be acceptable. The moment that happens? She wants that person's blood, and perhaps a few of their teeth to make into jewelry… oh, and she'll want to claim them in the most humiliating way possible. It's definitely a double-edged sword to get her in that state, for reasons that I hope are obvious. Beyond that, she knows she's got to hit fast and hard to get the win, so that's exactly what she does with the help of physics. She's not ever going to come close to the destruction a bullet can do thanks to not being able to be quite that fast, but the general principle applies. She's also rather good at using her surroundings to get around-- running on top of the barricade, pivoting by grabbing the top rope and letting momentum carry her through, and so on.)
