Indira (RLS CAS)

Meera Sharma (born 25th November 1997 in Chelsea, London) is an English professional wrestler currently signed to UNION Wrestling, where she performs under the name Indira, and is one half of the "siSTARZ" tag-team alongside her sister Sitara.
Something of an early-bloomer, Sharma has already held championships in both Turbo Wrestling Alliance and PRIZE Wrestling League, and was voted Squared Circle Insider's "Most Promising Superstar of 2019"1.
== Career ==
=== Training (2013-2015) ===
Sharma joined the BoBWrestling Training Programme in March 2013, alongside her elder sister Chelsea, and progressed slowly due to her young age. After Chelsea was snapped up for training with Rafe Daniels, the younger Sharma remained at the BoBWrestling Gym until early 2015, when she was signed to a pre-contract with upcoming promotion Turbo Wrestling Alliance.
=== Turbo Wrestling Alliance (2015-2017) ===
Debuting as Indira in mid-2015, after supplemental training from TWA Skipper Rob Neale, she'd quickly show herself to be an exciting, talented worker in matches with Lucinda, Minee Cooper and several intergender matches with Anglaterror.
In 2016, aged just eighteen, Sharma would win the Women's Championship from Jubilee, making her the youngest recorded major champion on the British alternative wrestling scene. She'd hold the title for six months before dropping it back to Jubilee, before taking time off for personal reasons.
In November 2017, Indira was one of the superstars to take part in an "exodus" from the promotion, after revealing bullying and mismanagement within the promotion.2
=== PRIZE Wrestling League (2018-2019) ===
Despite the assumption that she'd join UNION Wrestling, and a few months of dark matches and attendance only appearances, Sharma ended up floating around the indy scene until signing for Mikey Ace's new PRIZE Wrestling League promotion in August 2018, debuting in November 2018 on PRIZE Live in a losing effort to Becca Bond. This led to a feud with Bond that culminated in a Grudge Match at the Eyes on the PRIZE 2018, which she again lost.
She'd make a few appearances as an enhancer following this, before setting her sights of the WCE International Championship, following the Wrestling Council of Europe's partial takeover of the promotion. At Rise for the PRIZE 2019, Indira would defeat Faye Spires in the final of the tourney to crown the first International Champion.
She'd participate in the first episode of PRIZE Championship Wrestling, defeating Gaia Cassidy in the main event. She'd defeat Cassidy again, this time with the title on the line, at On The Line 2019 before losing the title to her in a match also involving Dulcy Bravo at Up Front 2019. The reason for her title loss, a fairly shocking one, was reported to be the expected debut of her sister, now going by the name Sitara, with the promotion. Though Sitara was, at the time, unhappy at UNION Wrestling, and had trialled with the promotion at Up Front, these plans fell eventually fell through, leading to Indira leaving PRIZE altogether.
=== UNION Wrestling (2019-present) ===
Indira debuted, alongside her sister, as Star Sisters (later siSTARZ) on Charged, before programming ceased and UNION went back to live touring. She'd feature prominently during this time, mainly as either her sister's partner or manager, and signed a full-time deal in 2020. She confirmed on Grapplr in 2021 that she's looking forward to returning when the promotion is ready, post-COVID restrictions.3
siSTARZ returned to active competition at the Return Show in November 2021, defeating Jackie Compton & Taki, before Indira would battle Taki to a double count-out at the following show in Manchester. She would, unseen by the attending audience, manage to take Taki out backstage, before interfering in the Sitara/Compton main event, giving the latter a DQ victory with a savage beatdown. siSTARZ would end the feud in their favour at the Touchdown '22 show in January 2022, defeating their rivals in a First-to-a-Finish tag match.
At the UNION Bring Down The House Event in March 2022, siSTARZ would lose in a match to determine the inaugural WOTU Tag Team Champions against Kenzie Starr & Terri Law, with Law eliminating both Indira and Sitara after Starr had been counted-out, for a 2-1 To-The-Finish Tag Team Match finish. On the debut episode of the rebooted UNION Charged, siSTARZ would lose to Starr & Law again, with Starr pinning Sitara this time. They'd get a final chance at the titles at Bring Down the House '23, falling short yet again and ending their championship aspirations for the time being.
Indira would accompany her sister to the ring for her WOTU Inter Championship defence against Tammy Washington at Uneasy Alliance 2023, almost costing the challenger her shot by knocking her off the turnbuckle while attempting a dive. She'd be incapacitated shortly after with a Crater Maker before going on to defeat Sitara.

== Behind-the-Scenes/Notes ==
# In truth, I just really like using her.
# I used the hazing and financial mismanagement storyline to phase the non-starter feeder promotion out of my Universe diary, choosing to do in a realistic and narratively interesting way. I made sure not to include any potentially unsuitable or inappropriate details while giving it a clear anti-bullying message where possible.
# siSTARZ are a team I plan to use heavily in my women's tag division in future games.
# A narrative affectation to flesh her out as a realistic person.
# Same as above.
