Character Information
** Character's Real Name - Jessica Maria Hardy
** Talent Name - Jessica Hardy (also frequently referred to as Jess, goes by either)
** Picbase - Natalie Dormer (preferably with the partly-shaved haircut)
** Billed From - San Diego, California
** Age - 27
** Height - 5'10"
** Weight - 148 lbs
** Theme Song - Grimes - Kill V. Maim
** Entrance - As Grimes' "Kill V. Maim" sounds out across the venue, Jess appears smiling on the entrance ramp as the vocals begin, energetically slapping hands with the fans as she makes her way down to the ring. She then rolls under the ropes and raises her fist in the air in the centre of the ring.
Personality
** Are you a Face/Heel/Tweener Leaning Face/Tweener Leaning Heel - Face-leaning Tweener (plays dirty occasionally, can get very aggressive)
** Favorite Match - Falls Count Anywhere
** Favorite Weapon - Steel Chair
** Wrestling Style - Technical (Grappling/Submission)
Jess' in-ring style relies on a mixture of power, agility and technical proficiency. She's accomplished as both a mat wrestler and a grappler. She tends to target and wear down the head with head-based submission moves before following up with high-impact grappling moves to devastate the opponent. She has taught herself expertly in the area of DDTs and piledrivers in particular, variants of these moves making up the bulk of her grappling arsenal. Her many submission holds also tend to gravitate towards the neck and head area, and as such she primarily employs a lot of chokes.
** In-Ring Attire - Jess' in-ring attire is a plain white tank top, black denim shorts, and black boots.
** Brief Character Bio - Jess was born the middle child into a military family from the beginning. Her mother, an engineer, met her father during the Gulf War when they were stationed at the same base. As such, Jess joined the army at the age of 18, and trained to be a medic. After completing her training Jess was sent away for her first tour of Afghanistan, alongside her two brothers, Luke and Kyle.
Experiencing several intense deployments, her military service lasted until mid-2010, where she was granted honourable discharge due to hardship after losing her older brother, Luke, in an incident involving an IED. Having worked as a medic, and given the loss of her brother, Jess had been traumatised by a few of her experiences in Afghanistan, and was quickly diagnosed with PTSD and came back to the United States and began undergoing therapy to help ease her intense psychological distress. Her therapy quickly proved effective, and Jess sought activities to occupy her spare time, and eventually stumbled into professional wrestling. Eventually, she began turning heads at her training centre, and got offered multiple jobs in independent and developmental wrestling promotions. Slowly stabilising, finding happiness, and realising she needed a new career, Jess took an offer from a promotion in Nevada, settled in Reno and started to wrestle part-time. Having worked to little success in the unforgiving independent circuit, it wasn't until she befriended and began to tag with the then similarly unsuccessful Josh Kennedy that she began to find what she was missing: passion. Collaborating with a friend ignited a spark and knack for the industry that she wasn't sure she had, and as her friend's career took him to Japan, Jess continued her own progression, gradually. With Josh now a World Champion, Jess has recently decided it was time to branch out of her comfort zone and into somewhere that could elevate her above the indie darling she'd found herself becoming. With the announcement of Redemption's West Coast Genesis brand, Jess believes she may have found just that. Coming into the first show of what may be a new chapter in her career, Jess is determined to show her worth and grow into the star she believes she can become.
