WRESTLER INFO
Real Name: Quyền Thị Tuyết [VN] / Tuyet Thi Quyen [EN].
Ring Name: Snow Queen VN.
"Snow Queen" is treated as if it was her actual real name, as in, Mr and Mrs Queen named their daughter Snow.
Nicknames: The Vietnamese Blizzard; B.Z.W. [for Blizzard Warning].
Height: 5'5" / 1.65m.
Weight: 127lbs / 57kg.
Billed From: Cẩm Phả, Vietnam.
Originally From: Cẩm Phả, Vietnam.
Current Residence: Santa Ana, California, USA.
Gender: Female.
Date of Birth: 05/03/1988.
Physical Description: Shoulder length black hair. Heavily tattooed. Curvy build, deceptively so - she's actually pretty muscular (think Sasha Banks, in that she doesn't look particularly buff until she flexes). Ethnically Viet.
Picture Base: Levy Tran.
Ring Attire: Black sports bra with white edging; black tape from palms to lower forearms; black tights with white waistband and icy blue-white blizzard swirl of snowflakes down each thigh; blue studded belt with three yellow stripes, symbolising her Vovinam rank; black kickpads over white boots; purple Muay Thai armbands. Bright red lips and a stripe of eyeblack under her left eye, but otherwise subtle, nude makeup. She has other colour combos, but this is the most common.
During her entrance, she also wears an acid washed blue denim sleeveless jacket with studded lapels, with a graffiti blizzard warning painted on the back (black snowflakes in a yellow diamond with red outline) above the letters B.Z.W. in white, a patch of the Vovinam symbol on the right breast, and a patch of the NCR's two-headed bear flag from Fallout on the left.
Regular Attire: Usually pretty casual but leaning feminine with dresses, strappy tops, blouses, etc. She likes to show off her tattoos, so bare sleeves/low necklines/cutouts/crop waists. When making a statement she incorporates some hip-hop and punk elements. For formal occasions, a blazer over an elegant dress or áo dài.
Manager: N/A.

BIOGRAPHY
Personality: Tuyết is mostly a bright, kind, energetic person. She's always up for trying something new - in fact, she's actively intent on continually pushing the boundaries of her comfort zone. Deep down though, she feels lonely and awkward, a perennial outsider unable to ever fully disengage the mindset of being an observer with a layer of distance from any situation. Perhaps due to this, she has kind of an avoidant personality. Her cheerful, self-deprecating manner is born from a desire to push down conflict among her friends and family. One area where this becomes much more clear is politics, which she'll go out of her way to avoid discussing. She's natually a highly competitive person, but has worked hard to quash that, meaning she shows great sportsmanship in any contest but tends to silently beat herself up over mistakes she made, even when she won.
Tuyết still considers herself as much Vietnamese as American; she's bilingual and has travelled back to her country of origin several times in her life. Although she lost her Vietnamese citizenship for American citzenship when she moved as a child, she successfully reapplied for Vietnamese nationality as an adult, making her a dual citizen. She's proud of her heritage and the culture of Vietnam. Her childhood loves for Western gaming, movies (particularly fantasy, horror and martial arts movies) and sports remain too. Journalistically, she's especially interested in the intersection between these two things. She's a fan of the LA Lakers, Galaxy and Dodgers, CLB Than Quảng Ninh, and the Vietnam Swans; she also follows futsal and volleyball.
She enjoys pandas and cheap wine.
Personal History: Born in Cẩm Phả, Tuyết's family emigrated to Orange County, California, USA when she was still a little girl, at the insistence of an uncle who'd relocated his family there earlier as 'boat people'. Tuyết's father resented leaving his home nation to live as an immigrant elsewhere; her uncle resented his lack of gratitude at trying to get them a piece of the American dream, and despite the brotherly love between them they clashed constantly. Feeling like an alien in her new homeland and with a life characterised by arguments and borderline poverty, Tuyết escaped by immersing herself in things she could follow despite not really understanding English: genre movies, videogames and sports - especially pro wrestling. One thing her father and uncle did agree on was the children learning English, getting good grades and going to college, and they pooled their money on an English tutor. Formally learning a second language she only had a broken grasp of until then helped foster a love of language in her. In school she was one of the alt-nerds, and true to both that stereotype and the Asian immigrant stereotype, applied herself and got a good (though not exceptional) GPA. It was good enough, along with some extracurriculars such as involvement with local Vietnamese cultural organisations, to scrape into the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, from which she graduated with a B.A. in journalism. After graduating she moved back to Orange County, where she managed to get a job on a local cultural magazine aimed at the Vietnamese diaspora in the region. She also freelanced online when she could, and over the years has worked a bunch of other jobs including bartending, data inputting, and working in a shoe shop. After her cousin the same age as her died in an accident, which hit her hard, she found herself adopting a "life's too short" mentality, and by coincidence saw that Kameron Chase and Mark Chapman were opening a wrestling school nearby. Wrestling was one of her dreams as a child, so she decided "fuck it" and enrolled. She's not sure what she wants out of her wrestling career and expects she's probably too old to start making a serious name for herself anyway, but it's about the experience.
Career History: In terms of a wrestling career she's as green as can be, but concurrent to her journalism career - and frequently as part of it - Tuyết has studied a bunch of martial arts, which form the basis for much of her offence (though she hasn't necessarily studied a lot of most of them).
Associates: The staff and other trainees of Wildfire Wrestling Academy.
Title History: None yet.
MATCH-WRITING INFO
Entrance Theme: Kimmese feat. Andree Right Hand - "Itsabet"
Entrance Description: The house lights dim and white spotlights shine on the entrance as the icy marimba opening of Kimmese's "Itsabet" plays...
turn it up a li'l bit
...Snow Queen VN slowly swaggers out, with her côn staff over her shoulder and a confident smile. She places her staff across her shoulders and poses with both arms resting over it, then leans it against her torso for a moment as she pops the collar of her sleeveless demin jacket. As the beat comes in, Snow struts to the ring at a relaxed pace, head bobbing along to the music and slapping some of the hands stretching out as she passes. After rolling into the ring she performs some techniques with her staff, before resting it at ringside along with her jacket.
Fighting Style & Mindset: Depsite the name, Snow is not chilled. She closes fast and aggressively, throwing a wall of kicks and other strikes, and when she has the opponent in a grapple she likes to put in strikes, especially knees. She has a martial arts background which she makes good use of, being a lam đai III rank in Vovinam and a purple band in Muay Thai. She's also tried out a few other martial arts such as Nhất Nam, Đấu Vật, Vạn An Phái, BJJ and Ninjutsu, elements of which have informed her fighting style. Under Kameron and Mark, she's learned to hybridise that with a solid all-round American wrestling style utilising takedown grapples and power strikes, along with some high flying influences from Kam and some submission work from Mark. On defence she's disadvantaged, but will try to look for (or force) openings for strikes to turn tempo back in her favour. She plays to the crowd a little, but not a ton.
As far as weaknesses go, aside from the obvious one of being a total rookie in the world of wrestling, she can second-guess herself over a number of things, so she doesn't always act decisively. And while she's limber and athletic, she's not actually really that much of a flier; fancy corkscrews and twists and the like are beyond her, which has the double effect that genuine fliers will outclass her in the air, while she has relatively limited aerial options against opponents too large and strong for her to grapple reliably.
Primary Finisher:
01. "Positive Polarity Impulse" - Double knee facebreaker.
Alternative Finisher:
01. "Negative Polarity Impulse" - Double knee breaker to back of head.
Signature Moves / Spots:

04. "Queenbomb" - Diving sunset flip powerbomb.
05. "Snowstorm" - Right jab, left cross, right hook, curving knee, spinning back kick, follow-through backfist, Superman punch. A fast and fluid combo she's got down rote, but quite predictable to those who've seen her use it before.

01. Muay Thai strikes, particularly kicks.
02. Takedowns influenced by her martial arts training, using leverage, pivot points and trips more than strength.
03. Ankle trip takedown.

06. Crossbody (flying/diving/springboard/suicide).
07. Fujiwara armbar.
