Entrance Theme: “When I Look At You (Metal/Dubstep Remix)” by Emalkay
Entrance Description:
[center]The wailing of three chords echo across the arena, sending the crowd into a frenzy boos as the camera pans around, catching glimpses of a few different members within the crowd. All who are booing or have their thumbs pointed down.
[i]"When I look at you."[/i]
As those words serenade the crowd continuously, the camera returns to the entrance tunnel where Gaia Galanos is standing there with her cold gaze locked on the center of the ring from underneath the veil of a black towel. Despite the booing and jeering from the crowd, Galanos makes her way to the ring, ignoring anyone who attempts to yell at her or grab at her. Meanwhile, the music takes a more metallic atmosphere. One fan almost successful slaps her arm, but she just smacks their hand away before continuing up the ring steps and across the apron.
Galanos abruptly rips the hanging towel off of her head, and, for a long moment, her icy blues just warn the crowd of the impending doom of her opponent time before she climbs into the ring and takes her corner; awaiting the beginning of the match.
[/center]Personality: In the ring, Gaia Galanos very well may be the most focused athlete in the sport. She takes pride in her athletic and fighting prowess which shows in her confidence in the ring. Outside of the ring, things are a bit different though. Riddled by people being intimidated by her build, romantically, she's a bit naive as she's had limited contact with people in that aspect. Socially, she's not awkward, but she is quieter than most, much of the time preferring a calm, relaxing evening to going out and hitting up the club. That's not to say she doesn't have her rowdy nights.
Alignment: Heel
Allies: Magdalena Waechter and The Order.
Rivals: Night Train,
Strengths:
>>FOCUS. When Gaia is focused on the match, she could very easily be considered the most dangerous person in between the ropes.
>>SUBMISSION SPECIALIST. Gaia Galanos is very well-educated in the use of submission moves, complete with the knowledge to reverse submission moves attempted on her into something of her own.
>>TECHNICIAN. Gaia has been wrestling for the majority of her life, complete with amateur mat-wrestling so she can wrestle circles around pretty much anyone.
Weaknesses
>>BROKEN FOCUS. On the other hand, if something has been done by Gaia's opponent or outside entities to ensure her focus is off, Gaia can be prone to mistakes.
>>SIZE. While Gaia is rather large for a woman, she still tends to have a size disadvantage to most men in this sport.
>>INJURY. Gaia was sidelined in GPW after her GPW World title reign by a concussion and neck injury suffered at the hands of Ryan LeCavalier armed with a steel chair.
Preferred Match Types:
Submission Match, Ironman Match
Least Favourite Match Types:
Hardcore Match, Deathmatch
Wrestling Style:
Think William Regal meets Samoa Joe (Gaia is strong, but she is not a powerhouse style wrestler. She tends to use a bunch of suplexes and submissions with a little bit of high-risk mixed in. Also, she is very innovative in her use of the Hammerlock via various slams, suplexes, and submissions utilizing the Hammerlock. Feel free to have her utilize whatever suplexes you can think of. The move list is a suggestion, not a demand.)
Finishers:
1. The Seismós Strike: Gaia has begun using this knee strike out of just about any situation, making it a very spontaneous threat.
2. Brainbuster
D. (No particular move name) Relentless Ground And Pound. Usually preceded by some sort of Judo throw.
Signature Moves:
1. Galanos Clutch
2. Achilles' Affliction(Techniques 4 and 5)
3. Exploder Suplex
4. Charybdis Lariat
5. Headbutt: a sickening headbutt which might be used at any time. Sometimes Gaia might hit them so hard that she, too, feels the effects.
6. Sheba Devil Vise (Description Below)
Modified variation of the Mr. Wonderful one-armed Kimura. Gaia sets her opponent up in a Devil Lock position then uses both of her arms to hook her victim's arm and pull back. She then trips them up, letting them fall face first to the canvas before locking in the body scissors to utilize her strong legs to pull the victim's body from their shoulder, creating a substantial amount of pain. This move is extremely dangerous for those unlucky enough to find themselves trapped in it. Due to the amount of pressure applied to the shoulder during this move, thanks to the amount of leverage it gives Gaia, this move runs the risk of tearing ligaments in the victim's shoulder thus making it unwise to attempt to "tough it out."
Moveset:
1. Half-Crab
2. STF
3. Reverse Figure Four
4. Trapping/Normal German Suplex (Release or Bridging)

8. Double Underhook Suplex (Sometimes executed from the top rope)
9. Reverse DDT

Biography:
Gaia Galanos was a foreign exchange student from Greece, who ended up remaining in the United States. Her exchange family was a rather prominent family within the wrestling world known as the Gordons, as in Pat Gordon, Sr. and Pat Gordon, Jr. She was trained at the Pat Gordon Wrestling Academy before it was closed down due to Senior's mental illness. She, also, trained at the Next Generation Wrestling Academy where she met Mel Ramsey, who is known to the wrestling world as The Harlequin.
Upon graduating from NGWA, she was signed by Girl Power Wrestling where she would eventually capture the GPW World Championship, but not before capturing the United Wrestling League's Queen of Wrestling Championship. She went on to have impressive reigns with both titles.
One of Gaia's most notable accomplishments was ending GPW's first World Champion's year-long title reign. When it seemed as though no one would be able to defeat Jo McFarlane, Gaia walked away with the World Championship, beginning a new era in Girl Power Wrestling. A few months later; however, Gaia lost the World title and GPW went under shortly afterward.
While away from wrestling, Gaia made it her personal mission to rebuild the Pat Gordon Wrestling Academy, and return it to its former glory along with the family to which it belonged. After she succeeded in this, Gaia returned the PGWA to the Gordon family, she returned to the wrestling world.
