DATE OF BIRTH: 8/2/92

STYLE: She has the agility to hang with the high fliers and the technical prowess to put on a solid scientific match, but first and foremost, Sapphire LOVES a good brawl.

FINISHER: Headbanger’s Ball (Sapphire will start unloading with a series of headbutts--never fewer than three, and she’s been known to reach ten--before darting into the ropes behind her foe. She’ll rebound off those, race into the far cables, shoot off THOSE and deliver a spear to her victim. As she takes them down, she secures a jackknife pin of sorts, scissoring the victim’s legs with hers as she holds them matchbooked.)

BACKGROUND:

The woman who now calls herself Sapphire Havens was born Emmalee Abernathy, the daughter of a software engineer and an investment banker in Cambridge, England. The third of four children, Emmalee grew up a very shy and reserved child, studious, with few friends--and virtually no enemies--while excelling in school.

After finishing her secondary education, Emmalee enrolled at Newnham College, Cambridge. It was here that she met a couple who became her first honest to goodness true friends. Those women introduced Emmalee to the tiny but close-knit punk scene in Cambridge.Emmalee soon found herself connecting both with the people and the music, leading to a transformation into a confident and boisterous young woman.

Abernathy completed her education, earning a degree... but found herself possessing little interest in joining the “real” world her family want her to. Instead, she got a job working at a club--one primarily dedicated to music, but which would also hold a monthly wrestling event. At one such event, a competitor no-showed--but Emmalee happened to be friends with the woman she was meant to face. She talked Havens into taking her scheduled opponent’s place, not for any sort of legitimate fight, but simply to “put on a show.”

Emmalee found herself enjoying it--not just the theatrics, but the connection with a crowd. It was enough to convince Abernathy to look into training to become an actual professional wrestler, which led to Emmalee getting in touch with and studying under onetime FAWN talent Sundae Stansfield for a period of three months. After which, on Sundae’s recommendation to FAWN’s head of European scouting, Abernathy--now re-christened Sapphire Havens--landed herself a developmental deal.

Sapphire is a very intelligent, very articulate young woman. As she has grown more confident in her own skin, she’s also become increasingly flamboyant. Her fashion ranges from the extremely girly to plenty of leather, and is often outlandish in either direction. And she is a firm believer in the principle that it doesn’t matter if an audience cheers or boos you, so long as they react in SOME way.
