## History

Zoe
Boucherwas born toRene andCharlotte Boucher in Paris*,*
France, the youngest child and only daughter of the family. Her entire family,
brothers and uncles and cousins, were part of a wrestling dynasty, most of
those old enough to do so having donned the tights. Despite this, she had a
fairly normal young childhood, though it was punctuated by periods of long
travel due to her father and brother’s road schedules, wrestling for promotions
across Europe, Japan, and occasionally the US. This caused some trouble with schooling
and resulted in her mostly being taught by personal tutors and being left to
her own devices. Growing up around such larger than life performers, many of
whom were very kind to her backstage, Zoe naturally became enamored with
professional wrestling. The bombast and pageantry, the sheer spectacle of it
and the crowds roaring for the performers, all convinced Zoe this was where she
was meant to be.

But her grandfather,
legendary wrestler Jean “de Marquis”
Boucher, refused. Jean trained his sons and their sons in the gym/wrestling
school he’d built in his home in Corsica, dubbed The Crucible. Revered as one
of the greatest teachers of the art of wrestling, all the Boucher boys who
wanted to lace up a pair of boots were sent to him to learn. But Jean refused
to let his only granddaughter, “puny thing that she is”, train, forbidding her
father from allowing her into the business, and so she would “find a good boy
to raise a family with someday.” He cared more about perpetuating the legacy
than her desires, and her father caved in to the demand. Zoe was no longer
allowed to travel with her father to wrestling events and made to attend normal
school back in Paris. There she started to settle down, made friends, and even
joined a band as the drummer.

Over time she grew angrier
and more resentful of her family for barring her from her dream, and began
getting into fights, particularly with the school’s Athletics Club president,
Irish exchange student Killian Albright. Her cousin Gabriel, recently graduated from The Crucible, moved to Paris to
help look after Zoe as her school marks got worse, and she became increasingly
hard to handle. Feeling pity for her, Gabriel began training Zoe in secret,
teaching her at his house after school, telling her parents it was to help with
her studies. After nearly two years of training in secret, Zoe had her first
match in a pub under the name La Reine du Soleil, The Sun Queen. Her opponent,
an American who went by the name Calico Jack, won in short order, but it was
the greatest night of her life. She knew it was time to find a way out of
France, away from her family, to truly pursue a career in professional
wrestling.

## Relationships

#### 993

The last time the Boucher family toured Japan, they were scheduled for an appearance in Tokyo Championship Wrestling. A translation error occurred between the booker (a member of the yakuza, unbeknownst to the family) and the Bouchers while preparing for the show, which led to a botched spot that caused Gabriel to shatter his opponent's leg, crippling him permanently. Furious, both sides blamed the other, which lead to threats being made on both sides. 993 arrived before the yakuza decided to slaughter the family and negotiated their release. The price was the shattering of Gabriel's leg, and an order to never return.

#### Mr. Locke

Mr. Locke was the History teacher at Ridgefield before it was discovered that he was also Ki, the head of The Crows. After The Crows were defeated during the 10.27 Tragedy, the Ruffians spared Mr. Locke's life and he was very grateful and indebted to each of them.

### Smitty Michaels

Zoe and Smitty met when Ridgefield took on the Buckingham Rockies. The two bonded over their shared affinity for animals, and Zoe finds Smitty's quiet, stoic nature pleasantly soothing. During the 10.27 Tragedy, the quiet friendship they shared grew to an unspoken bond as the two suffered losses and triumphs side by side.

### Stephanie Turner

Zoe met Stephanie when Ridgefield took on the AAA Thespians. She became infatuated by Stephanie. After taking every opportunity to hang out with her Zoe, after getting drunk at the Halloween party that AAA threw at Kendra Kinney's house, admitted to Stephanie her feelings and the two started dating. Stephanie broke up with Zoe before the Ridgefield winter dance, getting back together with Styles; the two remain good friends.
