Sarah Interview

I will like to thank Sarah for this opportunity to interview her and with this, I hope people see there is indeed a bright side in fantasy wrestling :)



Tell us a little about yourself? Hobbies and whatnot.

"Well I'm Sarah, and I'll be 19 soon. I'm moving to Hawaii in June for about a year and a half, so I'm really looking forward to that. I mainly read, write, sit on the computer or the phone, and watch television. Writing and reading are my main hobbies of choice to pass the time by each day more so than anything else."

How did you get into Fantasy Wrestling?

"I got into fantasy wrestling by just looking for some roleplaying sites. I came across a efed and decided to join it since I liked wrestling as well."

How long are or were you efedding?

"I have been efedding for 5 or 6 years."

What type of Fantasy Wrestling Roleplaying style do you prefer? (Match, Promo, Game/Sim etc)

"I have only tried match and promo styles and out of the two different styles, I've come to realize that I prefer promo style."

Did you have any difficulty learning your preferred style during your first time doing it?

"I didn't really have any difficulty because it reminded me of normal roleplaying, so I just incorporated what I already knew to efedding"

What was the first E-fed that you joined called? Describe your time there.

"I don't remember the name of the first efed that I joined, but it only lasted a month or two. The couple of months that it was open, I had a lot of fun and played Randy Orton as my first character in a fed."

What are your favorite promotions? Either Efed or Real Life Feds are fine and rank your top five if you want.

"My favorite promotions are all e-fed promotions in all honesty. They are:
1. REW - This is the one fed that I have been at the longest and no matter how many indefinite leaves I take from there, I'm always welcomed back extremely warmly and placed right back in action as if I had never left.
2. WEW - Even though I'm a current member of WEW, the fed has helped me to grow quite a bit as an e-fedder. I've got almost all of my characters in a feud or storyline in some way. It's the one place that I've been really pushed to give some input into how I want a feud to take place instead of being told how it was going to go.
3. NCAA - While it didn't last that long, I did get my first title there and remained undefeated up until it closed.
4. WWH - People may not have liked the owner all that much, but I got my first overall big "title" there though it was my second title in general and really helped build myself into the e-fedder that I am now."

Who was your first character? If you remember.

"My first created character was Lintu Ciel....my first played one ever all was Randy Orton."

How Many Characters do you control?

"At the moment I control 7 total characters in 2 different efeds but only 6 of them are different ones as I'm using one of the same characters in the second efed."

How many Championships have you held during your career efedding? If you remember.

"I've held 3 titles in my efedding career."

What was the first championship that you won?

"The first championship that I won was the Women's' Championship in NCAA with Isabella Luna to be their first Women's' Champion and the only one before it closed."

Did you make any friends in Efedding? Keep in contact with them?

"I have made quite a few friends in efedding and keep in touch with as many of them as I can."

Who are your favorite rpers? Why?

"I think my top ones are Darius (Zharya Burke), Kristi (Lucky Lawliet), and Jilly (Shady Layne). They're my favorites because they make their RPs interesting...it's not hard to have your attention caught by them because they do things in their own unique ray and keep the reader's attention."

Is there anyone you want to face in the near future?

"Well I would love to go against Kristi or Darius. I think they'd really make me do my extreme best since I know what they're capable of."

Have you ever dealt with Drama during your time?

"I've dealt with drama with an owner before, and there was one time that I dealt with drama that had to do with a member of a fed, but other than that little bit, I haven't dealt with much drama at all."

What is your opinion of the "E-fed Community"?

"I think the e-fed community can be a very close knit one when it's in the right environment. It all depends on the e-fed though...some are close knit and some aren't."

Have you ever made any regrets in fantasy wrestling?

"My only regret with it is never trying hard enough. There are many days where I won't start a RP until it's the day of the deadline or the night before. When I do that, I wind up rushing on the RP and don't do my best on the RP."

How long do you plan on efedding? If you are still doing it that is.

"I plan on doing it for until I have kids, so maybe another 3 or so years. Once I have kids, I'll still try to do it, but I won't be able to hold as many characters as I do now."

Do you have any advice for those who want to get into Fantasy Wrestling?

"Be original and unique...if you play someone that's real, give them your own twist. You want to keep things interesting...ask for help if you need it."


--Character Questions--

Who is your favorite and/or most popular character that you have controlled?

"This was probably the toughest question for me...but I really think that Isabella/Bella Luna has been my most popular and favorited character."

Any RL Wrestlers that inspired your character?

"I tried to mix different personalities together to have the one personality for Bella, so it's quite possible that RL wrestlers influenced/inspired her without my even realizing it."

Describe The Characters Personality.

"Bella is a down to earth type of girl that loves animals and being outside. She is very protective of her family which is her oldest and only biological daughter Lluvia and her three adopted children; Nadine, Eddie, and Lucy. While she is protective, she's also very nurturing and loving in order to make sure that her children know they're loved as she knows what it feels like to be adopted and wondering how the adoptive family truly feelings. She's stern with the people she loves whether it be family or friends and knows when she's needed whether it's admitted or not."

What would the characters Custom Attire look like? In terms of colors, appearance, etc?

"I've always imagined Bella's attire to look something like Melina's so halter tops and the long, spandex like pants. The colors would vary though very little pink or yellow would be in it at all since she's not the girly type too often unless the occasion calls for it. As for any designs on it, there would be a single eagle feather on each pants leg to signify her Cherokee heritage."

Nicknames?

"In Ring nicknames have only ever been The Cherokee Princess, and that's a new nickname for her. Out of ring nicknames though have been Bella, Bells, Isa, and Issy"

Best Aspect?

"I think her best aspect is how loyal and hard working she is. She stays determined in everything she does which usually results in her trying her best whether she succeeds or fails."

Worst Aspect?

"Bella has a tendency to trust too much and too easily. She won't make the same mistake with one person, but she gives everyone the benefit of the doubt and usually a second chance as well if the time is called for it...she has to believe that the person has changed and deserves it though."

Describe your characters Wrestling Style.

"Bella mainly sticks to the match and does a little bit of submission mixed with some general stuff. She'll fly through the air some but is partial to sticking with the mat as of now, so she's a mixed wrestling style."

What is her finisher(s)?

"Her current finishers are Bang, Bang which is a sunset flip powerbomb and This Ends which is a Split–legged inverted leg drop bulldog followed by split-legged pin. I based her finishers after Melina's in order to fit her using Melina as her picture base. Normally I use the Chick Kick as one of her finishers but decided to change things up a little this time."

Pick a weapon that relates to your character and tell us how.

"I think her weapon of choice would be a guitar oddly enough. She was adopted by a wealthy Spanish family, and while she was growing up with them, someone would always be playing the guitar near her."

Did the character work well with others?

"Unless someone pisses her off, Bella has been known to work quite well with others."

Did it have a Manager/Valet/Enforcer?

"Bella's daughter Lluvia has been her manager before, but she hasn't had one other than Lluvia."

Any Relationships?

"Bella was engaged to Lluvia's biological father, she's been engaged to Chris Cane, and now she's married to Daniel Folk. She's still close friends with Chris and is also very good friends with Lucky Lawliet and a few others."

What is your characters preferred match type?

"Her favorite type of match is any kind of elimination match. She likes not knowing who's going to be in the ring and not knowing who's going to be out of it next."

Who did you enjoy feuding with the most with the character?

"She hasn't really had a favorite feud yet. She's had a couple of very small feuds in WWH, but they were forced ones and weren't very character handler friendly or planned very well."

How many championships has the character won?

"Bella has held one Women's Championship."

What was the first title you have earned with the character?

"NCAA's Women's Championship...it was her first title and my first title as an e-fedder in general."

Did it earn any honors? (Hall of Fame, etc...)

"Well it didn't earn any spoken honors like Hall of Fame, but she was NCAA's first and only Women's Champion and remained undefeated while holding the title. I feel that's an honor in itself."

Between the mainstream companies and the independents, where do you think your character will fit?

"I really think she'd fit in indy companies better since she wouldn't want to just be a piece of eye candy for the male audience with the mainstream companies."

Describe how you will retire the character.

"I haven't quite figured that out yet. I've played around with a few ideas, but I haven't gotten it completely decided yet. The ideas I've played around with though are her getting injured and bowing out gracefully because of that or her just bowing out gracefully in order to spend more time with her husband and adopted children. Most likely it'll be one of those two things as opposed to any other way."


--Random Questions--

Do you watch wrestling anymore? What's your opinion on the mainstream companies now compared to the time you first saw WWE or TNA?

"I do once in a while but not too often. If I remember it's on, I'll turn it on for shits and giggles. WWE has gone down hill from when I first started watching it. It hasn't been the same since Eddie Guerrero died, and it's gone down hill slowly ever since then and really has pretty quick in the last couple of years."

Favorite Wrestler(s)?

"Eddie Guerrero (RIP), Rey Mysterio, Undertaker, Velvet Sky, Randy Orton, John Cena, Lita, Edge, and Trish Stratus are/were all my favorites."

Besides Wrestling, what else do you watch?

"NCIS, Glee, Ghost Whisperer, Charmed, House, Law and Order, Family Guy, American Dad, Yu Yu Hakusho, Inuyasha, Pokemon, The Fairly OddParents, and almost anything on Disney Channel after Disney Junior is over. I'm still a kid at heart when it comes to some TV."

Favorite Movie(s)/Game(s)?

"Favorite Movies:

Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, some new Disney movies, the Disney classics, Soul Surfer, Quarantined, Scream (all of the movies), the Twilight Movies, and Dear John

Favorite Games:

The Legend of Zelda series and Pokemon"

What are your Pet Peeves?

"Lying is really my main one that I notice the most."

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

"With a couple of kids, either in Raleigh, North Carolina or wherever the Army sends my husband if he decides to stay in the military"

Who is your favorite GFX Artist?

"I don't really have an all-time favorite but if I had to pick one then it'd be Darius -nods-"

1. Gum - I miss chewing it.

Final Words? Any Shout Outs?

"I was extremely happy to take part in this and am glad that people will get an inside view of an e-fed character's handler. Also...thanks Darius for pushing me to do more feuds and helping me a little here and there while I make a transition to playing a heel again. You're really helping me grow as an e-fedder =)"
