Adriana Salazar

```
Hot-Bloonded Luchadora

```

**Adriana Salazar** is the cousin of Carlos Velásquez and the character of the Battle Rhythm series.

## Appearance

Gameplay wise, she fights like Lisa Hamilton/La Mariposa, Rainbow Mika and Julia Chang (as Jaycee). Personality wise, she's a mix of both Shana (both of them are Fiery Redhead Tsunderes, plus I choose Shana's english voice actress Cherami Leigh) and Asuka Kazama (both of them are tomboys with similar character designs who serve as relatives of the respective protagonists). Also, she has shades of Annie Hamilton from Power Instinct, as both girls serve as the love interests of the respective friendly rival archetypes.

## Bios

Adriana is a childhood friend of the current Rhythm Battlers, the cousin of Carlos, and an absolute pro-wrestling fan. Like her best friend Rina, she's a former disciple of Natalie Volkova. With her friends and the courage in her side, she enters the 13th International Tournament of Rhythmic Martial Arts with the objective of saving Lucha Libre AAA from corrupt politicians who wanted to close its headquarters. However, she's not yet aware that something worse will await her during the tournament.

## Relationships

### Allies

#### Joaquín Ortiz

Childhood friend when meeting and are the lovers.

#### Natalie Volkova

Natalie let test for Adriana to learn wrestling.

## Gameplay

Is featuring that trains with Natalie Volkova like Rina Yamanaka, but if showing that wrestling. Adriana's fighting style is Lucha Grupera, which is basically Lucha Libre mixed with Gruperos (or Banda. I know, that's confusing ). Part of the Grupero motif on her is the main costume she always wears. For a bonus, she's a fan of Julión Álvarez, no less.
