Yoona Park
Hometown: Seoul, billed as San Diego
5'7"
128 lbs
Gimmick: Nymphomaniac ex-ballerina
Attire: Black bikini bottom trunks with no bra, worn underneath a tight, dark grey tank top that reaches down past her hips. Bare feet with boxer style hand wraps.
Appearance: A classic East Asian beauty with a tan complexion, dark almond shaped eyes, and free flowing black hair with light brown highlights down to her mid back. While not particularly muscular or defined, Yoona's toned arms and tight, flat abdomen are testament to her fitness. Like many young Asian women, her breasts and derrière are modest, though shapely and pert. Completing her lithe and athletic figure are smooth and sensuous legs that inspired admiration and envy from both fans and opponents.
Style: Muay Thai kickboxing with submissions (both technical and catty)
Yoona's style has been specifically honed for the style of beach and sand pit wrestling that is popular in her part of California. Slams and suplexes are ineffective on the relatively soft sand, and the lack of ropes and turnbuckles precludes any high-flying acrobatics. As a result almost every match ends with either a skull-rattling strike to the head, or more commonly, a devastating submission hold.
In accordance, Yoona makes good use of Thai kick boxing with simple yet stunningly effective strikes targeting the opponent's head, liver, and knees. Where she truly shines, however, is her submission game, particularly her arsenal of leg locks. Yoona's past experiences as a ballerina left her with an exquisite first hand experience of how far the body can bend and stretch, and of the excruciating pain that comes when those limits are forcibly exceeded.
Ironically, Yoona's biggest and most persistent vulnerability also comes from her history of ballet. Years of wearing painful ballet shoes have resulted in a deep pathological dislike of footwear of any kind in any situation. For similar reasons, Yoona has a low threshold for pain in her feet. Getting caught in a foot, ankle, or toe hold invariably ends with Yoona quickly tapping out.
Furthermore, throws and slams are completely alien to Yoona. She doesn't know how to use them, and having rarely faced an opponent who does, she doesn't know how to defend against them either. Against a more powerful wrestler Yoona often lets herself get ragdolled and tossed around, relying on the sand to cushion her landing. These same impacts, however, would be absolutely devastating if taken in the wrestling ring.
Alignment: Face. Yoona loves to have fun, showboat, and entertain the crowd with fan-service and trash talk. This means she's almost always loved by the audience, even though her style is surprisingly brutal and often humiliating for her opponents. She is not so well-liked among her fellow wrestlers, however, due to her propensity to get catty and the churlish, disrespectful persona she projects.
Entrance music: "Gee" by Girls' Generation
Background: This was never supposed to be Yoona Park's life. Born in Seoul, South Korea to media mogul parents, Yoona was groomed from a young age to be the perfect Korean lady: graceful, elegant, and reserved. When little Yoona showed a penchant for dance, her mother promptly enrolled her in youth ballet classes. Yoona's enthusiasm quickly made her the star pupil, but with that came ever increasing expectations. What was once her hobby soon became Yoona's entire identity, with her father boasting that his little girl was destined to be prima ballerina.
By the time she turned 18, ballet had become a burden on Yoona's slender shoulders. Yoona had made it onto Korea's most prestigious ballet troupe, but the competition and training were brutal. To improve her flexibility, trainers forcefully stretched Yoona's body until her sinews popped, then they stretched her further. Worse still were the pointe shoes that Yoona hated above all else. Every step in the rigid, wooden-tipped shoes was torture. Yoona saw the gnarled, broken toes of the more senior dancers and shuddered to think of the damage she was doing to herself. Yoona had persevered out of a sense of filial piety to her mother and father, but even she had her limit. Two weeks before her 20th birthday she abruptly resigned from the troupe and left for the USA, leaving behind only a goodbye note for her family.
Four years later, Yoona had made quite a new life for herself in San Diego, California. Her first roommate had introduced Yoona to the beach wrestling business as a way to make some cash, and Yoona was instantly hooked. After getting dominated her first few matches, Yoona started improving at a rapid pace. She had a remarkable ability to learn the techniques used against her, and then use those techniques herself. She also figured out that her ballet stretching and conditioning exercises made for excellent submission holds when applied to others. By the end of her first year of wrestling, Yoona had picked up enough skills to hold her own against nearly everyone. By the end of year two, she was one of the dominant wrestlers on the scene. By the end of year three, she was rich. And by the end of year four, she was bored.
The metamorphosis from prim and proper Korean girl to brash and sexual SoCal beach babe went beyond wrestling. Yoona became everything she wasn't in Seoul as a purposeful rejection of her past life. The polite, soft spoken girl from Korea turned into a foul-mouthed, uncouth young lady in San Diego. English supplanted Korean as her language of choice, and her alabaster skin turned to bronze under the Californian sun. She stopped following her Korean TV melodramas and instead immersed herself in all manners of American pop culture from movies to TV to video games. Fish tacos and tequila slammers replaced bimbimbap and lychee soju as her favorite meal. Designer dresses and tutus were discarded in favor of halter tops and bikinis. Constant wrestling added pounds of muscle onto her once willowy frame. The only only things Yoona couldn't leave behind were her love of Korean pop music and the gnawing sense that she had disappointed her parents.
Although she thoroughly enjoyed her new hedonistic lifestyle, Yoona still felt ashamed of the way she suddenly left home all those years ago. Her parents had looked so proud whenever she danced, and she had thrown all of that away. The kind of unsanctioned paid-by-match wrestling she did now, though extremely lucrative, did not carry much respectability in Korean high society. Yoona knew the only chance she could return home with her head held high was if she made her name in a legitimate, high profile league. More determined than ever, Yoona set off for FAWN to take the league by storm.
Along the way, she ran into Camille Cosworth at her Open FIght Night tryout, where Yoona’s brutality and fighting savvy made quick work of Camille. Opposites attract, however, and Yoona saw in her opponent both a talented star in the making and a kindred spirit. With Camille, Yoona had finally found some semblance of love and companionship for the first time since she left home. Even so, Yoona’s priority is nothing less than the FAWN World Championship. Yoona never did make it to prima ballerina, but she was deadset on returning home to her parents as a champion.
Moves:
Primary Finisher: Death by Snu Snu - With her opponent laying on the ground, Yoona grasps her opponent's left ankle with both hands and mounts her opponent's hips and right thigh. With her opponent's ankle still in her hands Yoona then leans all the way forward onto her opponent's upper body and uses her body weight as leverage to stretch her opponent's left leg. If the opponent does not submit immediately, fans are treated to the sight of Yoona rhythmically grinding her groin against her opponent's until one or both wrestlers reach climax.
Secondary Finisher: Footsie - One of the first holds that Yoona added to her repertoire after having it used against her. Yoona grinds her thumbs and knuckles into sensitive pressure points on the soles of her opponent's feet. Yoona typically uses this in conjunction with another leg lock, de-booting her opponent if necessary.
Signature moves:
Thai Plum - While standing, Yoona clutches behind her opponent's neck with both hands and delivers a series of knee strikes targeting her opponent's liver.
Seated Leg Spread - Yoona sits across from her opponent and places her feet on the inside of her opponent's calves. Yoona then performs a split and pushes out with her legs, forcing her opponent's legs to spread at an even greater angle. Simple yet effective given Yoona's superior flexibility.
Butterfly Lock - Yoona puts her opponent in a seated position and applies a front bodyscissor while sitting between her opponent's thighs. Yoona then traps her opponent's arms in a double underhook and leans back, straining her opponent's hamstrings, gluteals, spine, shoulders, and arms.
