Background:
A former model who joined wrestling thanks to a family connection, Nova Taylor was a bright bubbly girl, almost as colourful as her hair. Dubbing herself the “Rainbow Princess,” she always stood to adversity with a smile, no matter the hurdle. Over time she became a fan favourite where she wrestled. However, that changed when she was signed to a new promotion, unknowingly run by two former rivals, Slate Bass, and his wife, Eden, the Bassigani family. While she was encouraged to sign thanks to her agent viewing it as a “big break,” upon realising the owners, she quickly found herself at odds with them, despite Eden’s reassuring her that the past was buried and she only wanted to bring out her “potential,” Nova did not trust her.
Turns out, she was right to be worried. Over the next few months, the Seamstress of Reality herself worked her skills and slowly broke down Nova mentally, abusing issues that hit behind her colourful appearance and cheerful disposition. Then, after a killing blow from her husband, there was no fight in Nova left. She accepted the guidance of Eden, and she turned her into her TORN Angel, Princess Nova.
Changing herself into a whimsical and devious woman, she has embraced her new self, calling Eden and Slate her new family, and pledging her loyalty to them. Throughout the rest of the company’s history, she stood by their side, learning from Eden and seeing them beyond the evil perception most saw them as. Oddly enough, it can be argued to be the best thing to happen to her for her career. Amassing a noticeable winning streak, her first world title match in her home country, and being a more complete performer, the game of Nova has never been better. Even though some argue there is a hint of the old Nova in her. Upon its closure, Nova remained in the Bassigani residence, gladly taking care of her new family, and fully being embraced as a Bassignani.
Since then, she has found her place as the main caretaker and “big sister” to Eden’s daughter Keres, who has seemingly grown up out of nowhere and been by her side. Debuting in FWA, the two “sisters” formed Eternal and eventually recruited Lizzie Rose… renamed Elizabeth Rose and the group seemed stronger than ever-
But after some failures and her ‘acting out’ Keres seemingly put Nova under a spell for months, keeping her in a mental fog and then simply disappearing for months. After Carnal Contendership 2024, a series of videos began to play on FWA television. "The Motherbird Rehabilitation Ranch" showed Nova... Nova Taylor there seeking counseling after years in the TORN Universe. But as things begun to unravel, something felt... Off about it. Keres would reveal Nova was still in the TORN Universe, the entire experience was her creation for her 'punishment' and to rebuild her. She then told her the next task for her... and her rebirth to come from it. The Marionette Maiden is born. Seemingly, Nova's mind gone.

Style of wrestling:
VIOLENCE. She's very calculated. Though her high-flying roots remain, especially to counter larger opponents, she's not afraid to hurt opponents mentally and physically. Cold, rarely gives any expressions during offensive portions of the match.
Selling: Nova... Likes pain. When taking moves, she smiles, laughs, giggles even. Though it does damage, it is all play to her. Some larger moves she may just crumple over like a rag doll. Though, on rare occasions, she kips up and goes on an offensive spree, temporarily "no selling" her damage. Think Bray/Undertaker, though it wears off.

Nova’s kiss:
Occasionally, especially when in need of an advantage when her back is against the wall, Nova kisses an opponent, doesn’t matter male or female. For some reason, these kisses have special effects. It is unknown how this happens, but depending on the lipstick colour she uses, she may have different effects. Often she hides it in her boot.
Pink: Stun, disorients an opponent a few moments as if they got hit hard in the head.
Red: Sharp Pain. going from your lips and a pain goes throughout your body before settling on an area temporarily. Your ability to attack is hindered temporarily.
Purple: Temporary Influence, the recipient becomes very suggestable to Nova for a brief moment, almost like someone is briefly hypnotized. Its length depending on the person’s will power. Strong, probably will snap out of it after 30 seconds to a minute (though enough to get someone to say, attack a partner, lie down for a pin etc), weak, a few hours, Nova's going to have some fun. Will not use this without people’s permission OOC.
Black: KO. This is the kiss of Death in terms of a wrestling match. You’re going night night for several minutes, maybe a couple hours depending. Bring a pillow
Theme Music:
Damaged || In this Moment
Entrance:
The eerie opening to “Damaged” plays as the lights of the arena are shut off as the screens cut to static, giving a faint glow. The shadow of Nova appears on the stage, on her knees. Head tilted, face obscured by her mask..
“I wish there was a way for me to put this into words
All these feelings that I have as I start to lose control
(I feel panic rushing over me and gripping at my chest)
(And no matter what I say or do, I know that that it won't rest)”
Nova stands up. Her head is tilted to the side, limp. Her arms are slightly out to the side, wrists dropped.
“I feel my vision fade, sweat dripping down my back
I can hear my heart pound, I can feel my mind crack
(And I know that you love me and you want to save me now)”
Moving rigidly, Nova does a curtsy-like bow.
“In the end of it all you can't save me from myself”
Before finally moving slowly to the ring as strobe lights flash in tune to the music.
Announcer: "-Representing Eternal, the Marionette Maiden... The TORN Angel, Nova Taylor!"
Heading down the ramp, Nova drags her feet, walking slowly along, not even flinching. Eventually, as she gets to ringside, she walks around the ring, heading towards the hardcam side of the ring. She slides onto the apron, pulling herself up to her knees, leaning back on the middle rope. She moves her right gloved hand towards her face and slowly removes her mask, showing a blank look on her face. Sliding into the ring, Nova pulls herself up and hooks her leg on the top rope. Tilting her head, she looks to the camera and there is an unnerving feeling in the air. Getting down, she heads towards her corner where she kneels down, she gets on her knees again, tilting her head slightly as she leans on the turnbuckles as her theme music cuts and the lights of the arena turn back on.
