Entrance Theme:
"Starting Over Again" by The Dollyrots
Entrance Description:
The lights in the arena dim slightly as the intro to her theme music plays. As the chorus hits, the lights flash rapidly around the arena as fans cheer, with Kelsey bursting out onto the entrance ramp with high energy. She lightly jogs to the ring, acknowledging the fans with a smile while going out of her way to touch their outstretched hands.
She takes a deep breath when she reaches the bottom of the ramp before sliding into the ring under the bottom rope, almost immediately scaling the nearest corner as she throws her fist to the sky.
Personality: Kelsey is quiet and conserved around people she's not familiar with. Living a life isolated away from other people well into her adulthood, she's often slow to pick up on social cues; more often than not, she'll miss them entirely. As a competitor, Kelsey strives to bring out the best in not only herself, but her opponent as well.
Alignment:
Babyface
Allies:
Rivals:
Strengths:
- Once Kelsey becomes engrossed in a highly competitive match, the world around her practically disappears. She can execute high-risk moves with precision, and outside distractions rarely phase her.
- Having wrestled all over the world for the better part of a decade, Kelsey has an expert understanding of many diverse wrestling styles. She can adjust her game plan according to her opponent's.
- Kelsey has a natural ability to bring out the best in her opponents, through sheer thrill of competition.
Weaknesses:
- In a desperate situation, Kelsey will take risks a little too often, trying moves from her younger years that won't necessarily work effectively these days.
- Kelsey is fiercely loyal, and believes there's at least a little good inside everyone; her peers can easily take advantage of her trusting nature.
- In 2012, Kelsey suffered a career-threatening shoulder injury that kept her out of action for almost a year. While she's working to strengthen the damaged arm, it's most certainly a target.

Biography:
Kelsey grew up in southeast Queensland, Australia with her parents. Both of her parents were drug addicts and alcoholics, who beat her frequently. She was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome at a young age, and Tourette's a few years later. A very shy child, Kelsey had no friends growing up, and was labelled a "freak" by her peers. She discovered professional wrestling when she was only 8 years old through her grandfather, who used to take her to the carnival to see shows once a month. Feeling what she believed to be happiness for the first time while watching these matches, she made the decision to become a wrestler.
Her parents disapproved, however - mainly her father, who demanded she'd grow up and go to university to study medicine and become a doctor. When she was 15, her grandfather died, and Kelsey fell into a deep depression. She'd cut herself frequently to deal with the emotional pain of being bullied all day at school, and being beaten when she returned home. In late-2005, Kelsey ran away from home to begin training at Trip Johnson's wrestling school.
Kelsey worked as an enhancement talent from 2008-2012, working under the names "Blue Thunder" and "Charity" alternatively, even managing to become Glister Wrestling Champion on June 23, 2010 - she would hold the title for 283 days before losing it to Misery. In 2012, she suffered a severely-torn rotator cuff that required surgery; doctors informed her she would never wrestle again. Despite this, she was determined to return to the sport she loved, and found a new home in Down Under Wrestling in early 2014 - she aligned with Becky Saint to feud with Sophie Ryan and Jerri Brekke until Becky betrayed Kelsey. This lead to a series of matches between the two - one of which was a 60-Minute Iron Maiden Match on October 25, 2014, where Kelsey became the DUW Women's Champion. She would hold this title for 362 days - a record that still stands today - before losing it back to Saint.
Impressed with Rebecca Saint's improvement, Kelsey agreed to align with her as they traveled outside of Australia for the first time to Visionaries of Wrestling in late-2015. Kelsey became a villain for the first time in her career, as she and Saint were collectively known as "The Bellis Street Socialites" - their run was largely un-noteworthy as their alliance was short lived, and Kelsey was soon a good guy once again. Following one final showdown with Saint in June of 2016, Kelsey left VoW.
Finding herself in Pure Amusement Wrestling, Kelsey began teaming with Annabel Lee, at one stage almost becoming PAW Tag Team Champions before the company folded. It was in PAW that Kelsey met her boyfriend Cross Recoba also. Kelsey and Annabel went to Australia to join In Your House, where they became an official tag team dubbed "Sweet Anarchy" - the pair still wrestle here to this day.
