La Pequeña Luz
#1
Note for Shows: Having been born and raised in Mexico, La Pequeña Luz is fluid in both Spanish (her native tongue) and English, and she's also dabbled in a few other languages from European countries as well. While she will primarily speak English for show segments since she knows she has a primarily English-speaking audience, note that she can slip into Spanish on occasion. She'll only intentionally do this when calling Amelia some kind of Spanish pet name or if she's talking with someone she knows is also fluid in Spanish (either Amelia herself if they need to have a private conversation with people around them or another person with experience competing in Mexico and lucha libre). Otherwise, the most likely case where she should slip into Spanish would be unintentional moments where her emotions are running too high for her to consciously speak anything other than her native language (moments of extreme joy or anger, for example) and even then she tries to limit it to single words or short phrases. The only time you should ever consider having her go on a full-blown rant in Spanish is if someone's REALLY ticked her off, but be advised that those moments are rare since Luz is usually able to keep herself thinking positively and she'll usually have her partner/girlfriend by her side to help keep her from going too far over the edge.

PERSONAL INFORMATION
-----------------------------------

Wrestler's Alias: La Pequeña Luz
(translation: The Little Light)
Wrestler's Real Name: *Luna Nevado
*Her real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico, where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans. The only people who know her real name and face, none of whom will ever mention it in public for this reason, are her mother, a few of her father’s colleagues who helped finish her training after her father’s untimely death and bestowed this identity upon her, and Amelia Blythe following a rare moment where the luchadora privately broke this sacred rule as a means to undeniably prove to the British girl that she could trust her.
Pic Base: Meagan Good as adult superhero Darla in Shazam! but with Sexy Star’s mask (I know, it’s a pretty convoluted mashup, and I apologize. It’s been virtually impossible trying to find a masked luchadora even remotely close to how I picture this character looking in my head, so I had to improvise a bit.)
Height: 5’5”
Weight: 120 lbs.
Birthdate: October 14, 1997
Birth Place: Tulancingo, Hidalgo, Mexico
Current Residence: Anaheim, California
Billed From: Tulancingo, Hidalgo, Mexico

Physical Description: La Pequeña Luz is Latina with tanned skin, black hair styled into a pixie cut and brown eyes. Because she closely follows lucha libre traditions regarding masked wrestlers, she will always be wearing her mask even in public, which covers her face while leaving an opening at the top so her hair can be clearly seen along with having eye holes and an opening around the mouth and chin area. The signature designs of her mask are the gold design of a crescent moon inside of a sun at the very top of the mask on her forehead as well as the border around the eyes always being made up of white sequins that easily reflect light, creating the illusion that the outlines of the eyeholes of her mask are constantly glowing with tiny white lights. Her in-ring attire consists of long tights and a halter crop top with white boots and white glittery forearm covers. Aside from the boots, forearm covers, sun/crescent moon design on top of her mask and the sequin outline on the eyeholes, the colors of her mask and attire will often vary, with her most common (and personal favorite) color scheme being white with tropical indigo accents. Her entrance attire includes an elegant electric indigo silk robe with white sequins and the name Luz in cursive on the back in white, a gift from her partner and girlfriend Amelia Blythe. When she’s not competing, her casual attire typically consists of a white short-sleeved hoodie with faded blue jean shorts and black leggings on underneath, all while obviously still having her mask on. She may wear fancier and more ‘model-like’ clothes on occasion since Amelia has the money and connections to cover it, but casual is usually her more preferred style.


WRESTLING INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------
Wrestling Style: Fast, high-risk, high-flying. That’s the simplest way to sum up Luz’s in-ring style. She will always try to keep the pace of a match at a lightning-quick tempo, constantly trying to stay on the move and keep her opponents off-balance. Any chance she can get to leave her feet, she’ll take it without hesitation, and for better or worse she hasn’t met a risk she wasn’t willing to take to put an opponent down for the three count. She’s also very resourceful, able to seemingly invent counters or new ways to do moves on the fly to keep opponents guessing. Since befriending Amelia Blythe, she’s also started to develop a solid technical aspect that was sorely lacking in her offense before, and after the couple recovered from their respective injuries the last time they were seen in SCW she's become more comfortable with slowing things down as needed, which can really throw opponents off from the abrupt transition from lighting quick tempo to slowing things down and then back again.
Alignment (Face/Tweener/Heel): Face
Years Pro: 5
Theme Song: “Believe In Tomorrow” by Sunflower’s Garden

Primary Finisher: Ilumina la Noche
(translation: Light Up the Night)
Primary Finisher Description: Corkscrew Shooting Star Press. This is the move Luz prefers to end all of her matches with whenever possible, though it has often led to her downfall should she miss. As such, most of her matches will see her try to make some kind of attempt at this move, with missing usually being a perfect setup for her opponent to connect with their own finisher. She mostly uses the Lights Out (described below) to set this move up, laying out her opponent and allowing her ample time to quickly make her way to the top turnbuckle to go for it, although should an opening just so happen to present itself without hitting the Lights Out beforehand, she’ll more than happily take it.

Secondary Finisher/Primary Set-Up: Lights Out
Secondary Finisher Description: Jumping Reverse Bulldog, perhaps better known as the Zig Zag. Luz initially learned this move specifically to serve as her half of her and Amelia’s tag team finisher, the Wisteria Waltz. However, she began using it in singles action mostly as a set-up for Ilumina la Noche, but after the sheer number of times she’s thrown away a win because she insists on ending all her matches with that move, Amelia put her foot down and insisted that her partner adopt a second finisher that doesn’t rely on wasting time going to the top rope. Thus, this move gained a name and became her secondary finisher. This move will mostly still be used more as a set-up for Ilumina la Noche than anything else, and will certainly be used as a match ender far less than Ilumina la Noche, but Luz can end a match with this move if need be.

Submission Finisher: La Mágica
(translation: The Magic)
Finisher Description: Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors transitioned into a Single Arm Takedown floated over into a Fujiwara Armbar, better known as La Mística. This move is essentially Luz’s attempt to blend some of her fast, flashy offense with some of the more technical aspects she’s developed since befriending Amelia Blythe. This becomes her go-to way to win (considering it’d be her only option of doing so) if she ever finds herself in a match that MUST end by submission.

Signature Moves:
- Caer del Cielo (translation: Fall from Heaven)
- Flash Freeze
- Space Flying Tiger Drop
- Vuelo Encantado (translation: Enchanted Flight)
- Ensnaring Vines


Signature Moves Descriptions (If Needed):
- 450 Splash. This move was adopted from her late father, El Espíritu Angélico, and she uses his former finisher as a tribute to him and the influence he had on her.
- Shining Wizard. This move was adopted from one of her father’s friends who took the greatest initiative in helping to finish her wrestling training after his passing. The name choice is an homage to said trainer mostly using different ice-themed gimmicks and identities over the years.
- Cartwheel Over the Top Rope Suicide Corkscrew Senton
- Swanton Bomb
- Texas Cloverleaf

Common Moves:
While the moves listed below are the most concrete list of common movies she can perform, it’s far from everything she can do in the ring. In a similar vein to my old Aaron Blackbourne character, Luz is capable of busting out new moves and spots that may have never even been seen before out of nowhere to keep opponents off-balance, so don’t hesitate to get creative writing her matches. Also, Luz loves taking risks, so if you feel there’s a spot where she can go high-risk even if it makes absolutely no sense, run with it. Luz is that much of a free spirited risk-taker that she will frequently do something before fully thinking it through. Also, Luz can borrow common and signature moves from Amelia Blythe’s repertoire if need be to keep opponents off-balance. Although she’s not skilled enough to fluidly transition from hold to hold like Amelia can (and more complicated holds like The Abomination are beyond her current skill level), she’s still quite effective with whatever she can borrow from her girlfriend.


- Arm Drags (Luz has a preference for springboard variants, but anything classified as an arm drag can be employed by her during matches)
- Hurricanrana (Luz can do this standing, springboarding or off the top rope, including having the ability to leap from the mat and catch an opponent on the top turnbuckle without ever landing on the turnbuckles herself)
- Topé Suicida
- Suicide Senton
- Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors
- Diving / Standing Moonsault
- Tornado DDT
- Standing / Springboard / Missile / Basement Dropkick
- Tiger Feint Kick
- Diving Crossbody
- Spinning Wheel Kick
- Surfboard
- Snap Dragon Suplex
- Bridging / Release Tiger Suplex
- Enzuigiri
- Flying Forearm Smash
- Victory Roll

Strengths:
+ Speed/Tempo. A case could be made that La Pequeña Luz could very well be the fastest wrestler out there, and the pace she prefers to keep a match at can be very difficult to keep up with for even wrestlers who also specialize in speed. She also has the stamina to be able to maintain this speed and pace when even the most well-conditioned wrestlers would be starting to slow down, no matter how much wear and tear she’s sustained herself over the course of a match. This is generally how Luz is able to win her matches, because it’s hard to keep up with someone who’s able to still run circles around you with no signs of slowing down even if you and her have been going at it for an hour by that point.
+ The determination and heart of La Pequeña Luz is very clearly something she inherited from her late father, and is arguably the biggest reason people fall back on to explain how on earth she’s survived some of the things she has in the ring, including still being the only person to this day to have survived Amelia Blythe’s inescapable Blight Choke. No matter how much punishment she takes, no matter how impossible the odds, Luz will never back down and will find a way to keep fighting even long after she should have been history.
+ Luz is ridiculously resourceful, to the point that some have preferred to say she’s extremely lucky as a means of trying to save face when she catches them off guard with one of her improvised tactics. What she typically lacks in having a gameplan going into a match is more than made up for by how quickly she can turn the tide with some kind of move or counter, often innovated on the spot and driven by impulse, using whatever resources are (legally) available to her at that moment. She is an opponent you will never be able to truly say you have a complete advantage over, because the moment you start settling in to your gameplan is the moment she’ll pull something out of thin air to turn it entirely on its head.

Weaknesses:
- Arguably Luz’s biggest weakness is how willing she is to take risks, all in the name of giving the audience something spectacular to enjoy. No matter the situation, if she thinks she can go high-risk, she will go high-risk, even when there’s absolutely no reason to do so. She’s cost herself plenty of matches purely because she’s insisted on ending it with Ilumina la Noche even when she virtually had her opponent down and out, or simply took one too many risks and crashed and burned or flew right into a counter because she was too focused on pulling off whatever she had in mind. If Luz loses a match she should have, by all accounts, won, roughly 90% of the time her taking a risk she didn’t need to will likely be what cost her.
- While it’s not as much of a weakness anymore now that she has Amelia Blythe watching her back, Luz has the kind of attitude that insists she seek out the good in everyone and give them a chance, even if anyone with half a brain cell knows better. While it managed to work in breaking down Amelia’s walls over time, this level of kindness won’t work on everyone she meets, and many have been able to take advantage of it to lure Luz into a situation that’s to her detriment in some capacity. You really have to have intentionally stirred up some personal animosity for this girl to not even try to so much as compliment you, which is the only other time this weakness does not apply.
- While her speed and the pace she tries to maintain will often eventually overcome this as a match goes on and her opponent is tired out, Luz is still not the biggest dog in the fight. Most larger opponents will easily be able to overwhelm her with their size and strength, and the longer you can keep her from trying to quicken the pace, the better your chances are of finding the opening you need to put her down.
- As is to be expected of someone as kind and hard-working as Luz is, especially considering she’s the daughter of one of Mexico’s greatest técnicos (lucha libre’s term for faces) and is following that same path, Luz hates cheating. She is willing to talk a referee or authority figure into overturning or nullifying a win of hers that comes from it (either via outside interference relating to whatever feud her opponent may be involved with at the time or because she’s teaming with someone aside from Amelia who won’t think twice about using underhanded tactics to get the job done) and will make it her mission to get a rematch as soon as possible with someone who needed to cheat to beat her in order to either force them to earn that win the right way or make them regret thinking that they could cheat her out of a properly-deserved victory. Many feuds she’s been involved with over the years have mostly spawned from this small thing alone, and it’s brought her fair share of trouble due to her persistence in trying to right these wrongs when they happen.

Normal Entrance:
“Believe In Tomorrow” by Sunflower’s Garden begins to play as bright white lights begin flickering on and off on the stage in rhythm with the music. La Pequeña Luz skips out onto the stage with the kind of smile that could light up an entire room all on its own plastered to her face, dancing a bit to her theme song and waving her arms in an attempt to get the crowd pumped up, drawing cheers. As she looks down towards the ring, the smile fades as something seems to flicker through her mind, but she’s snapped out of the trance as Amelia Blythe slowly makes her way out, placing a comforting hand on Luz’s shoulder. With a quick kiss to her cheek, Luz’s smile returns as the two proceed to lock hands before heading down to the ring, Amelia trying her best to keep up with Luz’s energetic skipping. Once they reach ringside, Luz pulls Amelia into a brief but passionate kiss before letting her go as she hops up onto the apron, grabbing the top rope before vaulting herself into a somersault into the ring, landing on her feet. Luz begins skipping around the ring, motioning once more for the fans to make some noise as they answer this call while Amelia takes her place in Luz’s corner on the floor, chuckling to herself and shaking her head at Luz’s energy. Luz removes her robe and hands it off to Amelia, who gives some last minute advice and words of encouragement as she does so.

Alternate Entrance:
This entrance is only to be used if at least one of the following conditions is met. Otherwise, please use her normal entrance:
- If Amelia Blythe, or all parties for that matter, are explicitly stated to be banned from ringside.
- If Luz will be competing solo in a match taking place inside an enclosed structure of some kind. (This is for the sake of promising fairness, though if her opponent ends up getting help from attempted outside interference then Amelia will not hesitate to hit the ringside area to try and put a stop to it.)
- If Luz is in a tag match where Amelia is NOT her partner for whatever reason. (Again, for the sake of promising fairness. Such examples of this include Trios, randomly drawn tag matches for Fatal Fortunes, or just a match in general where Luz is set up to team with someone else for whatever reason would make sense in storyline.)
- If it’s some sort of match where Amelia Blythe also just so happens to be involved but not as her partner.

As she looks down towards the ring, the smile fades as something seems to flicker through her mind, but as she runs her hands along the sleeves of her robe, her smile returns and she proceeds to skip her way down the ramp. Once she reaches ringside, Luz hops up onto the apron, grabbing the top rope before vaulting herself into a somersault into the ring, landing on her feet. She begins skipping around the ring, motioning once more for the fans to make some noise as they answer this call before she goes to her corner, slowly removing the robe and giving it a hug before setting it under the bottom turnbuckle.

Biography:
La Pequeña Luz is the only child of Dr. Camila Nevado and the man known throughout Mexico as El Espíritu Angélico, a luchador who has long been considered a legendary household name to fans of professional wrestling, thus making Luz a second-generation wrestler. She grew up idolizing her father, both as a wrestler and as the hero he was viewed as to the people around him because, like all masked luchadores, he was considered a larger than life character that represented so much more than just what he could do in the ring. Luz had aspirations of following in her father’s footsteps one day, a dream he supported in hopes that when he finally retired he would be able to pass the torch to his little girl. Even her mother was supportive of her dreams despite the reservations she had every now and then, considering she was a doctor and was growing more and more concerned with some of the bumps her husband took in the ring for the sake of giving the fans the show they deserved. Once he felt she was old enough, Angélico started training his daughter, teaching her all he knew about the business and instilling in her the sacred lucha libre code, making her all the more excited for the day when she was old enough to start competing herself so she, too, could become one of these proverbial icons of her culture.

Everything changed just two months before her eighteenth birthday, when she’d been promised she could finally become a full-fledged luchadora herself and begin competing. Luz and her mother had been sitting in the front row watching Angélico do battle against one of his longest-running rivals. There came a point where Angélico was meant to take his opponent’s finisher, a Backdrop Driver, and kick out to go into the real finishing sequence, but something went horribly wrong, and when Angélico didn’t kick out of the referee’s count as planned, it became immediately apparent. Tragically, Angélico had been lifted a little too high as a result of his opponent losing his grip at the height of the lift, resulting in his head and neck hitting the mat in a very awkward angle, said angle and the impact being enough to cause serious spinal trauma. That night, lucha libre tragically bid farewell to one of its greatest heroes, and while Luz watched this all unfold before her in horror but held on to her determination to join the business herself in memory of her father, her mother had a complete change of heart about the business considering she’d watched her husband die in the ring before her very eyes, and was not about to risk losing her daughter as well. Luz fought against her mother’s resistance, finishing her training in secret with some of her father’s closest friends and allies in the sport (a request left in her father’s will in case anything happened to him before she started wrestling, and something her mother conveniently tried to ignore, hence the secrecy). They were the ones who bestowed her mask and name upon her, and thus, La Pequeña Luz was born.

Luz took to the wrestling business like a duck to water, quickly building her name and earning the love and respect of the fans, though part of her could never shake the feeling that they were only doing so out of respect for who her father was. Despite her very clear talent, she would find herself losing plenty of matches she should’ve won, with her desire to take risks whenever the opportunity presented itself being the main problem. What many didn’t know was that some of these risks were inhibited by her mother’s warnings and the lingering memory of how her father died from a move gone wrong, causing the split second delay that ultimately led her to crash and burn. Despite these setbacks, she would eventually find championship gold in her sights near the end of her first full year in the sport when one of the main Mexican promotions she competed for set up a special two-night joint show with a British promotion they had a working relationship with. On the first night, she was one of six participants in a six-pack challenge where both companies’ Women’s Titles were on the line. This would be the match where she would also meet Amelia Blythe, who was also competing in the match as a representative of the British promotion. While it didn’t happen until about two-thirds of the way through the match, when Luz dropkicked a competitor and caused them to accidentally break up a submission attempt by Amelia on another competitor, the two of them proceeded to launch into the kind of unplanned scrap that effectively stole the show and became the entire focal point of the remainder of the match, trading counters and inadvertently working in tandem with incredible synergy to keep everyone else out of the way so they could keep clashing with one another, neither one ever gaining any sort of advantage over one another. While the match ended with neither woman being involved in the finish, Luz and Amelia continued to go at it as though the bell never sounded, forcing officials to separate them. This incident actually altered the card for the second night, as the matches the two originally had scheduled were shuffled around so they could face off one-on-one. Once again, the two ladies effectively stole the show with a match that would’ve been well on its way to being considered potentially one of the greatest matches of all time, including both sides showing they were capable of using moves from the other’s repertoire despite not being known for that style, but the match was ultimately thrown out with no winner when the owners of both promotions got involved to try and cheat and help their girl win, against the wishes of the competitors themselves, all because of a bet they had made earlier in the show. This was one of the rare times where Luz let herself publicly show anger and frustration as the result went against everything her character stood for, but after noticing Amelia storm to the back in similar frustration she followed after her. When they met backstage, the two bitter rivals had surprisingly reached a mutual agreement that a rematch with a proper conclusion needed to happen at some point.

Luz returned to Mexico and set about trying to work past the interference she felt tainted her character a bit from those joint shows, working harder than she ever had before, and in the process having to resist more of her mother’s attempts to get her to give up wrestling for her own safety. Knowing that she had a rival out there she would meet again someday only fueled the fire inside of her, and Luz would have that rematch much sooner than she anticipated when the two promotions had an annual talent exchange and she heard Amelia Blythe was on the list of names willing to come to her homeland to compete for a time. Naturally, the rematch of the ages seemed like a no-brainer to book for her promotion’s biggest show of the year, especially after a talk with the owner to ensure that this match would have no outside interference this time, and Luz went into that show on a hot streak the likes of which she’d never had before, determined to prove herself and earn the respect of the Blythe prodigy. Like their last encounter, the two of them put on a spectacle that had the entire wrestling world buzzing. The most shocking moment of the match came when Luz found herself trapped in Amelia’s patented Blight Choke, a hold that no one had ever escaped from when the British girl had utilized it, and despite spending a horrifyingly long time trapped in Amelia’s clutches, Luz kept fighting the whole way and eventually managed to force a rope break, becoming to date the only wrestler to have ever escaped the hold. The absolute shock over this seemingly impossible feat was enough to throw Amelia off just enough for Luz to hand the Blythe prodigy her very first direct professional wrestling defeat, fair and square. After the show, Luz sought Amelia out and found her backstage berating herself for her failure, realizing in that moment that they weren’t so different after all with the immense pressure put on them, both by their peers and themselves, to live up to the impossibly high expectations demanded of them because of their status as second-generation talent to such iconic names in their respective parts of the world. After managing to start a conversation with her rival (that included Luz privately violating the sacred lucha libre code to reveal both her face and true name as proof that Amelia could trust in what she had to say, a fact that IS NOT public knowledge for anyone reading this for something to use for promos), the two of them actually managed to hit it off as they found sympathy in one another’s situations and Luz got the chance to see the real Amelia Blythe where no one else had been allowed to before. This led to the two girls spending a good amount of Amelia’s remaining time in Mexico with one another outside of the ring, creating a true friendship that the both of them had desperately needed but had been lacking up until now.

Despite being upset when Amelia had to return to England, Luz forged ahead and continued to prove herself, determined to make sure that the people who put her on a pedestal in Mexican culture were doing so because of what she was capable of and not just because of who her father was. Ironically, she would get this opportunity in a different country entirely, as barely a few weeks removed from the last time they saw one another, Luz received a call for Amelia asking for help with a situation she’d gotten herself into in her home promotion. This led to Luz making an unexpected appearance at the British promotion’s next pay-per-view, revealing herself as Amelia’s mystery partner to challenge her sneaky and seemingly unbeatable older twin siblings Edward and Emily for the tag team gold they had been holding hostage for a little over two full years by that point. The two young ladies seemed tailored made to work together in some capacity as their chemistry caught even the twins off guard, and with their usual tactics snuffed out by Amelia’s familiarity as well as the wild card that was Luz in general, the Blythe Twins fell and Luz and Amelia got their first taste of gold, the moment meaning so much more considering they’d accomplished it together and allowed Amelia a chance to finally stand up to her controlling family and fight back.

Since then, both girls have found a ton of success, both in singles action as well as teaming together, with Luz helping Amelia to finally find the strength to stand up to her family and walk away from them to forge her own legacy as Amelia helped to balance out Luz’s own issues with her mother being against her wrestling since her father had died as the result of an accident in the ring. Over the years, the two girls slowly grew closer, aided by the decision to live together when they weren’t traveling for shows since neither one felt comfortable at home anymore, and now they find themselves in a relationship together that has only made their bond with one another stronger. As they quietly distanced themselves from their former promotions, having essentially accomplished all they can do in the British/European and Mexican wrestling scenes and wanting to go somewhere with very little risk of resistance from their respective families and the lingering issues that remain, they heard about SCW and the intrigue of a new tag league they were creating as a celebration of a division they believed was lacking the respect it deserved. Even if they might be too late to join in on the fun, they both agree that SCW sounds like just the kind of fresh challenge they’ve been looking for.

After putting together a relatively impressive run in the company, tragedy would strike at the 2021 Retribution pay-per-view when both members of the team were injured in a four way to determine new number one contenders for the Tag Team Titles. Luz, after spending a good chunk of the match fighting alone after Amelia was injured, would sustain a severe concussion following a title belt shot from Adam Allocco that would lead to her defeat. In the wake of this, the tandem would be off SCW television in order to recover, and during that time they negotiated their release with SCW management under the belief that once they were 100% again, they wanted to return to the places where they'd built their legacies in order to rebuild themselves. SCW was more than willing to oblige and always left the door open for them to return when they were ready. After catching a recent Breakdown in Mexico City and making plans to be in attendance for the 2022 Under Attack pay-per-view in London, the odds of Luz and Amelia being ready to try their hand at SCW again seem all but certain.
