CHARACTER INFORMATION.
Disposition/Alignment: Heel. Equal parts lawful evil and neutral evil.
Gimmick: Vanessa doesn't believe she's special in the regard that she's here in SSW for a reason. The other people on the roster are as well, but she's egotistical enough to believe wholeheartedly that none of their bullshit reasons compare to hers. Their needs to satiate their taste for making people proud or just being in it for the love of the sport? She can't relate. Finding out that she was a relative of the Castro family was the best thing that could've ever happened to her, because it was then that she realized what she was put on this earth to do -- rule. And rule whatever the fuck she wanted. It just so happens that she decided to become a wrestler. She intends to be every bit the dictator that she feels she's supposed to be, bulldozing over whoever she needs to by any means necessary to become the unquestioned HBIC of SSW. Now, as a founding member of the equally self-serving and committed-to-causing-chaos band of renegades known as The Phantom Troupe, the bad news for the opposition is that she's always surrounded by like-minded people. Nothing about her approach meshes with the honor-bound nature of strong style competition, but oh well. She doesn't anticipate that the Red Sea will just part itself. It'll take time and work, but eventually, all the opposition will fall. They always do.

NOTES.
As stated above, she has a legitimate combat sports background. Whether or not it actually provides her with that much of a leg-up over the competition has yet to be seen, but it likely could blend well with the style used by most other people on the SSW roster. She's also terribly arrogant and has something of a hair-trigger temper; these could prove to be a weaknesses at one point or another. While she can be anything from uncaring to callous to flat-out vile to those she opposes, she is very loyal and even affectionate to those who she deems worthy enough to have earned her trust (i.e., her stablemates). By the same token, if this faith is proven to be misplaced, she is incredibly vengeful.
