Character Info
Name: Quan Yin Okada
Age: 27
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 180lbs
Hometown: Kyoto, Japan
Alignment (Heel/Tweener/Face): Big Soft Babyface
Likeliness to break the rules or cheat: Nil
Bio: As a child without parents as a result of the Tibetan conflict, Quan was adopted at a tender age by a Japanese salaryman, Tetsuo Okada. Having recently been divorced by his wife for being more married to his work than her, Tetsuo found a second chance in Quan, who he became devoted to raising as he found his spiritual side--and that there was more to life than clocking in and clocking out.
And so, Quan Yin grew up in Kyoto rather than Nepal, in a very loving environment with her "Papa"--who instilled virtues in her of compassion, empathy, and learning to slow down and appreciate life's tiny details. A traditional sort, Tetsuo tried to enroll his daughter in pastimes like calligraphy, music and dance; and while she liked these things, she found her true passion in learning to fight, much to her Papa's surprise. She felt that if she could master as many types of combat as possible, she would be able to protect the weak, and prevent from happening what had happened to her as a child.
As a businessman, Tetsuo traveled frequently. As such, Quan has lived in many different places outside of Kyoto, including Hong Kong, South Korea, Denmark, and Ireland. Wherever she could, she would pick up new styles of fighting, while keeping floral gardens at home and befriending the local stray cats. Most recently, her father's business has led them across the pond to North America--and Quan now resides in Seattle in a modest apartment full of plants, books, and assorted mma gear. What better opportunity than now, to call up an old local friend, and learn a whole new way to fight? Hard as a diamond and resilient as a lotus, Quan Yin can hardly wait to prove herself in a brand new arena.

Entrance Music (what music plays when your character enters the ring?): "One Foot" by WALK THE MOON
Ring Entrance Notes (how does your character come to the ring?):
Woo-oo-hoo! (Hey!)
As WALK THE MOON's "One Foot" begins, The Diamond Lotus appears at the top of the ramp, pumping her fist into the air on the second 'Hey!' in the music. Grinning from ear to ear, she starts forward with a bit of a skip in her step, almost dancing on her toes as she makes her way down toward the ring. Her dark hair is pulled into a braid that falls down to the small of her back, swaying with her upbeat motions.
As she reaches the apron, she slips into the ring and immediately climbs the turnbuckle, just in time to gesture to herself and then the crowd on the words "You and I, we're walking through the emptiness". Beaming to the cheering response, she neatly flips backward off the turnbuckle, landing in a roll that sends her into a cross-legged sit in the middle of the ring--she giggles and rocks to her feet, pumping her fist upward to the rhythm of her music as she takes up her corner.
Moveset
Quan fights mainly with her legs, as they're significantly stronger than her arms. With a blend of martial arts at her disposal, she leans heavily on eliminating the vertical base of her opponents, with clear shades of Taekwondo and Judo.
Regular Moves
1. Leg Grapevine
2. Enzuigiri (especially if her leg is caught)
3. Shiranui
4. Hurricanrana
5. Superkick
6. Running Knee Strike
7. Standing Leg Drop
8. Monkey Flip
9. Triangle Choke
10. Straight Arm Armlock
Special/Signature Moves
1. Petalstorm (Tornado DDT from the top turnbuckle)
2. Wildflower (Cartwheel DDT)
Finisher
1. Diamond's Edge (Phoenix Splash)
