Personality: Laura has a rather dominant personality, she enjoys boasting about past achievements and being the center of attention in a conversation or environment. Her talking can sometimes drag on however, making her someone that a lot of people attempt to avoid talking to if they can, even though she means well most of the time. Being incredibly wealthy as a result of the brand she built while wrestling in France and married to a highly successful Japanese businessman, she has no problem spending money and can find it difficult at times to understand why people may have financial issues.

Where Zoey is involved, Laura is always nosey and protective, getting involved quite heavily in her daughter's affairs in the hopes that Zoey is happy and safe in whatever she is doing. Most of the time, this involvement isn't wanted so much by her daughter, who finds the subject quite embarrassing to discuss and prefers to keep some distance from her parents in public.

History: Laura was born in France under her original surname Dumont to a pair of middle-class parents, both co-running their own small (but rather successful) pizza store in Paris. Growing up, she found herself becoming increasingly interested in the world of professional wrestling, to the point where she began trying out in various small leagues as early as 16 years old. Her enthusiasm and charisma at the time paid off, and she landed a position a few years later in a semi-famous French league where she grew to be a star, earning an excessive amount of money from her fights and merchandising. During a trip to Japan she met her now-husband Hideaki Satoshi after bumping into eachother a number of times, and the pair visited eachother from time to time before finally getting married near two years later. Her wrestling career continued until she was 28, when she announced she was pregnant and couldn't continue fighting. She retired to take care of her child, Zoey, and wouldn't return to the wrestling scene for another eighteen years, when she signed on with AFW a short time after her daughter.

Fun Facts:
-) Secretly, Laura enjoys embarrassing her daughter publically, and knows just how to do it.
-) Despite her age, she is still able to hold her own against much younger opponents, and use her size and power to her advantage.
-) Even though she isn't capable of showing off as much as she could in her prime, she has trained to simply overpower people with brute force and twist them into agonising holds.

Wrestling Information

Style: Laura is both a powerhouse and technical wrestler, though she doesn't excel at either. She will use her large size and physical prowess to wrestle smaller opponents to the ground, where she is able to apply a wide variety of holds. Her weight also makes for a useful weapon, making it hard for some opponents to send her down onto the canvas.
Common Attacks: Heavy but slow blows to her opponent's body with her hands and feet make up most of her attacks, but she will jump at any chance to land a powerful clothesline or lariat that would knock most girls senseless.
Preferred Matches: Laura has a preference for regular, submission, or tag matches.

Finishing Moves:

Electric Chair slam
Laura leans down to put her head between her opponent's thighs before straightening up, lifting the victim off of the ground and leaving her sitting on Laura's shoulders. Once she regains her balance, she bends her own body backwards and down, slamming her opponent back-first into the canvas. Typically, she will bridge the move, resulting in a matchbook-style pin.

Spoiler:

Powerbomb
Her favourite finisher, particularly against smaller opponents. Laura delivers a hard blow to her opponent's stomach or lower body to cause them to double over. Once they do, she pulls their head between her thighs and grabs them by the hips, lifting them up onto her shoulders. After that, she falls on her knees and swings them at full-power towards the canvas. The move is typically enough to end a match, especially when comboed into a matchbook or jackknife pin.

Spoiler:

Signature Move:
Atomic Drop
Laura wraps her arms around her opponent's waist, or simply grabs their hips, depending on how heavy they are. Once her grip is secured, she lifts them upwards and puts one knee out below them, swinging them down hard onto it, the victim landing on the base of their spine for a brutally painful finisher that'll leave most opponents walking weird for a whle. The move isn't usually enough to end a match, but it will slow her opponents enough to open them up to harder moves later on.

Stats
Strength: 10/10 - Laura's strength is quite impressive to behold, letting her perform brutally hard-hitting power moves and slams on her opponents. The average girl will struggle significantly when it comes to overpowering her.
Stamina: 9/10 - Despite her age, Laura is still able to keep up with opponents much younger than her for long stretches of time. This can come as quite a surprise to some girls.
Endurance: 10/10 - Her strong body and large size allow her to take plenty of hard hits and still keep going, returning her own devastating blows in reply. Laura is particularly hard to keep down.
Speed: 5/10 - While she was faster in her youth, Laura's age has slowed her down a fair bit. Most opponents will find her speed isn't anything special and quite easy to manage, and dodging her attacks isn't too difficult if the opponent is paying attention.
Technique: 10/10 - Her years of prior experience are still relevant, and Laura's old abilities still hold out and prevent her from making many mistakes.

Strikes: 10/10 - Laura's sheer power and good technique make for very hard-hitting strikes that can send most opponents down for the count if delivered at the right time.
Submissions: 10/10 - Her incredible strength, heavy weight, and great technique combine to make for terrifying submission holds and pins, almost guaranteed to get most smaller opponents tapping in no time when they realise there is no way out.
Aerials: 1/10 - Laura flies about as well as a brick. Unless she is doing something that relies on her weight to be successful, her aerial attacks are pitiful.
Blocking: 9/10 - She can deflect and outright block blows quite well, her hands rather nimble and quick for someone of her age and size.
Dodging: 2/10 - When it comes to dodging, Laura's large size and poor speed give her a big disadvantage. Missing an attack against Laura would be quite an achievement.

Overall Rating: 96/100 - Laura is a very difficult opponent to face, and that difficulty only increases with smaller opponents.

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Ring Attire:
Her feet are covered by knee-high red wrestling boots, with white knee-pads above those. Her torso is covered by a simple, classic sleeveless red leotard in contrast to the bra and briefs her daughter wears (Something Laura disapproves of) and her elbows are covered by plain white pads. All in all, her attire is nothing special.
