## **Character Description**

Born into a lower income household , single mother and the second oldest of 5 daughters , Carla sought not to only make herself stand out , and in turn to also provide for those closest to her. With a passion for professional wrestling starting at a very young age , the prodigy felt she was destined to become like those she idolized. Said passion and desires led to those in and outside of the wrestling business would view Roxanne as someone who was “built and trained for success” , having been training near full time as young as 13 years old. Developing a high work ethic , willing to make the sacrifices of her time needed , she’d take to wresting training like a fish to water , making her official debut as Rok-C at only 16 years old. Spending the first 3 years of her career unsigned by a major company , but on the way capturing numerous championships across multiple independent promotions. The most coveted of such being the Ring of Honor women’s championship , something in which she was the first to accomplish.

The prodigy’s list of in ring accomplishments are impressive at her young age and small stature. Though the accomplishments and notable moments in Carla’s life aren’t limited to inside the squared circle. With the prodigy being outspoken about her struggles with anxiety and self doubt , and an advocate for mental health awareness. In her words , she wishes to “break the stigma” around the discussions of mental illness.

Theme Song: "Ignorance" by Paramore

Roxanne makes her way out from behind the curtain equipped with a twirl as she’d scurry toward the ramp , with her hands behind her back once she’d fully stop. Before making her way toward the apron , turning her back to the hard camera once getting on top of such with her head to the right to smile toward the fans in said direction. Before entering the ring to go to the middle rope where she’d pose again , arms to her side to soak in any cheers or adulation from the crowd at hand.

## **Personal Life**

Perez spends a lot of her non work time back home in Laredo , helping and assisting in her family and friends any way she can. But does have a temporary residence in Tallahassee, nearby the HPW offices.
