Mariella Torres trained with her father Mario Balbuena González , better known as Gran Apache , who is one of Mexico ' s most prolific trainer of female wrestlers . She made her debut in 1996 , at the age of 17 , working under the ring name Princesa Apache , playing off her father ' s Native American ring character . Through her father ' s position with Asistencia Asesoría y Administración , one of Mexico ' s largest wrestling promotions , she began working for AAA upon making her debut . In either late 1996 or early 1997 she adopted a new ring character , a masked character called " Love " . Although she was masked AAA did not hide the fact that she was the daughter of Gran Apache . The " Love " character only lasted about six months before Torres was given a new character . She became a part of a female version of the popular AAA stable " Los Cadetes Del Espacio " , wrestling as the masked " Lady Venum " a female version of Venum . She teamed up with Lady Discovery , Lady Luxor to form " Las Cadetas del Espacion " in later 1997 . " Las Cadetas " teamed up with Xóchitl Hamada to defeat the team of La Fugitiva , La Migala , La Practicante and Martha Villalobos in the opening match of the 1997 " Guerra de Titanes " show . Not long after " Guerra de Titanes " Torres left AAA , giving the " Lady Venum " character to her younger sister Fabiola Torres , while adopting the ring name Mari Apache . Mari travelled to Japan to gain more experience , wrestling for a variety of Japanese all - female promotons such as All Japan Women ' s Pro - Wrestling , Gaea Japan and ARISON . In ARISON Mari Apache defeated Chaparita Asari on March 15 , 2000 to win the Sky High of ARISON championship .

Mari Apache returned to Mexico and began working full - time for AAA in 2007 . Mari sided with her father Gran Apache in a long running storyline between Gran Apache and Mari ' s sister Faby Apache ' s " love interest " ( and real life husband ) Billy Boy . On November 30 , 2007 , during the 2007 " Guerra de Titanes " , Gran and Mari Apache defeated Billy Boy and Faby Apache , Espiritu and La Diabólica , and Ayako Hamada and Mr . Niebla in a four - way match to win the vacant AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship . The pair would successfully defend the title against the team of Super Caló and Rossy Moreno . Over the spring of 2008 the storyline between Gran Apache and Billy Boy evolved into Faby Apache fighting with Mari Apache , splitting the family . Gran Apache and Mari Apache successfully defended the mixed tag team title against Faby Apache and Billy Boy on April 20 , 2008 . The feud between the sisters was also the dominating storyline of the 2008 " Reina de Reinas " tournament . Mari defeated Chikayo Nagashima , Martha Villalobos , Sexy Star and Sonoko Kato to qualify for the finals . In the finals her younger sister Faby Apache defeated both Mari and Ayako Hamada to win the 2008 tournament . The feud between the sisters reached it ' s conclusion at TripleMania XVI , where Faby Apache defeated her sister in a " Lucha de Apuesta " , hair vs . hair match . Following the match Gran Apache came to the ring and pleaded with Faby , persuading her to not shave Mary ' s hair off but instead shave his hair . The sacrifice by Gran Apache brought the family back together again . During the fall of 2008 Gran Apache and Mari successfully defended the mixed tag team title against the brother / sister team of El Oriental and Cinthia Moreno but was not able to defeat them a fourth time as they lost the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship at the 2008 " Verano de Escandalo " event on September 14 , 2008 . Over the next year Mari frequently teamed with her sister Faby , although she was not an integral part of the " family feud " that had turned into Faby Apache against Billy Boy . It was not until Faby Apache was attacked by " La Legión Extranjera " members Jennifer Blade and Rain , causing her to lose the Reina de Reinas championship to Sexy Sar during " Heroes Inmortales III " that Mari Apache became involved in the storyline . Mari , Faby and Cinthia Moreno faced off against " La Legión " members Sexy Star , Rain and Christina Von Eerie during the 2010 " Rey de Reyes " event , a match which Moreno won for her team by pinning Sexy Star . During a post " Rey de Reyes " interview Sexy Star claimed that the Apaches and Cintia Moreno were nothing but maids , which led to AAA booking a TripleMania XVIII match between Cinthia Moreno , Faby and Mari Apache against Sexy Star , Rain and Jennifer Blade in a match where the person pinned or submitted would have to be the winning team ' s slave for a month . At TripleMania " La Legión " defeated Moreno and the Apaches , when Blade pinned Mari , thanks in part to the biased refereering by Hijo del Tirantes . Following the match Konnan ordered Mari Apache to begin her maid duty right away by cleaning up their dressing room . The stipulation expired on July 6 , 2010 . On August 14 at Verano de Escandalo the Apaches and Aero Star faced Reina de Reinas Champion Sexy Star and Mixed Tag Team Champions Alex Koslov and Christina Von Eerie in a six - person tag team match , where both titles were on the line . In the end Mari pinned Sexy Star to win the Reina de Reinas Championship for the first time .

On July 9 , James and Sexy Star defeated Mari and Faby in a tag team match , after which James challenged Mari to a match for her title .
