Appearance: Marissa Monet is one of the most intimidating physical specimens in wrestling.  At 6'6, 220lbs, she is bigger than most men.  Her build is solid muscle, broad shoulders, tapered waist, powerful thighs and glutes and bulging arms.  She has managed to retain a certain femininity about her musculature, but there is no mistaking the work she has put in to perfect her physique.  She is Afro-Caribbean with dark skin and hazel eyes lighter than her complexion.  She wears her hair in intricately designed cornrows, ending them in beads.  Her face is model perfect and when she chooses to smile she is quite inviting, but usually her demeanour is stern and cold.   The words "God's Child" are tattooed in script on her right shoulder.  On her left biceps is a tattoo of a shark just breaking the water to strike. In the ring she wears long glossy black spandex tights, knee pads and knee-high black leather boots.  She wears a midriff-baring glossy black spandex halter top that shows off her ripped abdomen and her shoulders. On her right hand she wears a black, fingerless glove.

Biography:

Ms. Murderer. Ms. MillenniuM. Money. 4M. Marissa Monet goes by many different aliases, but the character is the same. She grows more and more intense by the day, the epitome of fierceness.

Marissa Monet was born of Trinidadian parentage and raised in Brooklyn, New York's famous Coney Island projects. The projects were known for two things basketball and drug dealing. Despite some flirtations with the wrong side of the law, Marissa Monet made a name for herself in Coney Island by playing basketball. She was one of the few women who could compete with the men and surpass them at the Island's famous basketball court, the Gardens. Still, her mother envisioned more for her than a life in Coney Island.

The tall, athletically-gifted woman was sent to a Division I school where she competed on the courts, but not in the classroom. Her mother, seeing that she had more interest in playing basketball than focusing on her academics, sent her out of the country to Canada to study under the supervision of Celeste Rage. In Nova Scotia Marissa completed her university degree, forming a fast friendship with Celeste's adopted daughter, Medusa. She returned to Brooklyn after her degree, looking to resume playing basketball. Europe was the only viable option at the time and she did not want to be so far from home again.

She and Medusa kept in close contact. They visited each other often. Eventually, Medusa convinced Marissa to become part of her entourage of Serpentines during her first stint in the Grand Dragon Wrestling Alliance. Marissa agreed. She enjoyed the experience immensely. It wasn't long before she was asked by Indigo Browne to replace Sierra in the tag-team known as the Brown Girls.

Marissa shocked most of the world with her high-flying style. The lean 6'6 competitor easily matched Indigo's acrobatics, showing tremendous agility and leaping ability. The tag-team seemed poised for a run of success until Grand Dragon's tag-team division closed.

She continued to hone her abilities in tag-team wrestling, pairing off and on with the youngest Rage, Lauryn. They were affectionately and annoyingly known as the "Baby Rages." Both women entered the IEWA and the WSIW.

Marissa received a lot of criticism from the head promoter of the IEWA who kept holding her back. She carried the stigma of being associated with the Rage family and the stigma of being part of the GDWA. The IEWA promoter was desperate to groom his own stars and wanted to humble the Rages, which he attempted to do at every turn. Marissa's past as a former basketball player and her habit of wearing a comfortable basketball jersey and shorts in the ring led her to being saddled as a one dimensional gimmick and stuck firmly in the lower to middle card. She was consistently humiliated and used to elevate other relatively "home-grown" wrestlers. When the Rage clan finally grew fed up of the IEWA and left en masse, Marissa decided to return.

This time she wasn't "having it." Her personality had changed. She no longer presented herself as a fun-loving, happy go lucky rookie. She traded in the comfortable jersey and shorts for skin-tight black tights. She adopted the single black glove trademark of the Rages and showed a very mean streak. Her second run through the IEWA was more successful. The promoter booked her in a feud with Alison Chandler that was never resolved. Finally, the IEWA closed one more time amidst financial hardships and poor management. Marissa was a free agent again. She tried one final time to be part of the IEWA when it reopened for a third time, this time aligning herself with Andrea Chandler and Heidi Leick in what was going to be a stable called "The Show" a concept abandoned by her good friend Sierra Browne in the GDWA's closing days. Once again, the management of the IEWA proved to be inept and it closed in the middle of a title tournament with Marissa wearing its Television Title. The trio moved to the newly-opened GDWA. By this time, Marissa's temper had worn thin. She was hostile. Angry. And downright dangerous. Once Paul Laurence Dunbar made the mistake of saying Rekka Sakura would have to carry Marissa Monet in pre-match comments, she lost it. The concept of the "Show" was once again considered, but ultimately failed to be exercised. Marissa set out to injure and humiliate as many opponents as she possibly could. Just as Marissa seemed poised for a shot at the title, after nearly killing Daisy Butterfly, her championship hopes were cut short. Grand Dragon went on "hiatus" and would not reopen for several months. During this time period, Marissa turned to her long-time companion and mentor, Shadoe Rage. He taught her the principles of his own twisted view of the world and religion. Marissa really seemed to take to his philosophies. When she returned to the Grand Dragon Wrestling Alliance it was as a noticeably more sadistic, noticeably more erratic character one that had focus and purpose for her madness rather than mere anger.

Eventually that seeming madness has been replaced by a much more calculating woman.  She is a cold veteran now.  Her career brought her to the UWF, where she won the Women's Heavyweight Championship and competed for its Heavyweight title.  She came to the NAWC and later to Shootfire Pro Wrestling. After winning the World Championship and feuding with many Superstars, including CEO AJ Black, going so far as to hang him out of a window in France, Marissa Monet became the first Female Superstar to capture the World Tag Team Titles.  A gifted genetic phenom, Monet had had wars with Sammy Knight, "Heartless" Jakob Volga and is one of the most recognizable Superstars in all of wrestling today. Marissa is now on a quest to alter the face of women's wrestling.  Her desire is to become the first Heavyweight champion of a promotion.

Entrance:

[The arena is bathed in darkness as the houselights cut out.  The fans grow restless in the darkness until blue light washes over the arena, making it all seem as if it is underwater.  The SPWtron winks to life showing a seal swimming in the water.  Suddenly there is a burst of water as a leaping shark hits the seal, dragging it below the depths.  Bloody-looking red lettering splashes across the screen as the shot switches to the shark breaking the water again, its jaws wide open.  "The Great Black Shark" is written between its teeth before the jaws snap shut and the entire SPWtron turns red.  "Deepest, Bluest" by LL Cool J hits and the fans start to cheer as Marissa Monet makes her entrance.]

"Uh, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin"

[MASSIVE CHEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]


"Manmade terror
Hungry jaws of death
Y'all don't cross my depths
I'll pause your breaths
I cause you to sink down forty thousand leagues
Bleeding to death with no arms and short sleeves
My world's deep blue
Killers gotta eat too
Looking for human flesh to rip my teeth through
Other fish in the sea but Barracudas ain't equal
To a half human predator created by a needle
Jet black eyes baby they stare while you sleep
When your Titanic sinks I'm the one you gon' meet
Hearing terrified screams they surround my team
All you see is trails of blood
Even God won't intervene
Nightmares of darkness
My apetite is heartless
Even if we related, you eliminated regardless
In the deep blue, underwater walls
Half man, half shark
My jaws don't fall!"

[The curtains part and Marissa Monet strides through.  She pauses at the top of the ramp, arms folded across her chest.   Her biceps bulge with the action, displaying the "God's Child" tattoo on her right shoulder and the striking shark logo on her left biceps.  She stares at the fans first on one side and then stares at them on the next.  Her lips slowly curl back into a big lusty smile.] 

 

[MASSIVE APPLAUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

 

"Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin"


[She stops at the ring steps, allowing herself a small smile as she climbs to the ring.  She steps between the middle ropes with practiced ease and takes the centre of the ring.  She throws out her arms and lifts her head to the rafters in the Jesus pose as her eyes rollover white and her mouth falls slack revealing a killer's smile and perfect white teeth.]

 

"SHARK!    SHARK!    SHARK!    SHARK!"

"SHARK!    SHARK!    SHARK!    SHARK!"

"SHARK!    SHARK!    SHARK!    SHARK!"

"Our Father who art in Heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Killers sworn to beast
Swallowed them in flames
They switched my DNA
Trip me into Cool J
I can't fight the feeling
I'm born to kill prey
To survive an attack
There's only one way
Battle to the death
That's how sharks play
Weapons left behind
We dueling with the mind
You blind, crippled, or crazy
You're real easy to find
Struggling to flow with hemorrhages in your throat
Getting the lap dance while I smash through your boat
Eat your whole fam
Nothing left but a right hand
Clinging to a rail
Escape, attempts fail
You'll never make it home
Tear the flesh off your bone
Walking in undercurrents is a dangerous zone
I'm talking death out a moment's notice
You wasn't focused
Me and my crew strike
Like some underwater locusts"

[Marissa begins to walk in figure eights around the ring, prowling each corner.   The fans can feel her frenzy building.]

 

"SHARK!    SHARK!    SHARK!    SHARK!"

"SHARK!    SHARK!    SHARK!    SHARK!"

"SHARK!    SHARK!    SHARK!    SHARK!"

"Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin"

"Uh, uh take it deeper
Uh, uh take it deeper
Uh, uh take it deeper
Uh, uh take it deeper"

"These waters are waist level
The hallway's flooded
Lost your scuba gear
The killer's cold-blooded
His name's LL
You don't really want it
I ate your ancestors
The ocean is haunted
I'm closing in cause I'm supposed to win
How the cold steel feel when it froze your chin
Should of stayed on dry land
Stroke while you can
Cause now you under pressure in the land of the damned
Abandoned pirate ships
Eels and sod scum
Fish that glow in the dark
The Titanic's hub
Underwater storms
You're blood is so warm
You're life vest is off
And that turns me on
Killer for centuries
The Gotti of the deep
In the next millennium
I'm still gonna creep
Sand under my belly, ocean over my head
Through the light in the shadows
You become the living dead!"

[With that the houselights come up and Marissa snaps out of her trance.  She begins shadowboxing, ready for action.  The fans cheer as she takes centre ring and raises her black-gloved fist in the air.]
