Hey all, it's your girl, NoonboryKedabory.
I don't normally dedicate a full chapter just to notes, but this time it's necessary for establishing a timeline and introducing characters.
Here is the timeline for my Punch-Out! fics:
1. Ma Fille
2. Home Sick and Bump in the Night
3. Take Back the Belt (currently upcoming; be on the lookout!)
4. Let Me Warm Your Heart
5. Life in the WVBA (a.k.a what you're reading right now)
And now here's intros to the new characters:
Flameleader
20 years old, 6'1", 190 lbs
Real Name: Jennifer "Jenni" Stanford
Ranked: #2, Minor Circuit
A high-spirited newbie from New Orleans, Flameleader is bubbly, upbeat, and always on the move. She's sassy, she's sweet, she's everything you'd expect from a cheerleader.
Flying Feather
39 years old, 6'3", 208 lbs
Real Name: Beth McCauldy
Ranked: #1, Minor Circuit
A Bristol-born boxer with no time for nonsense and all the time in the world for fighting. She's incredibly durable from her years as a pilot, and more than a few boxers admit they're a little afraid of her.
Chaton Cheri
14 years old, 5'1", 110 lbs
Real Name: Katrina "Katie" Beaufort
Ranked: #3, Major Circuit
You may remember her from Ma Fille. Glass Joe's little girl is all grown up and taking the WVBA by storm. She's kindhearted, headstrong, and stands firm for what she believes in.
Dust Bunny
22 years old, 5'11", 148 lbs
Real Name: Brigit Ryan
Ranked: #3, World Circuit
Aran Ryan wasn't joking when he said his sister hits harder than you. Dust Bunny is fast, sneaky, and every bit as wild as her big brother. Interestingly, the league seems to tolerate her a bit more than Aran.
Princess Hook
15 years old, 5'5", 141 lbs
Real Name: Hilda of Lands Yonder
Ranked: #2, Special Circuit
This little pirate has bid farewell to the seven seas and set sail on the Special Circuit. She's a bombastic natural-born leader with the strength of four men and the bravery to match.
Lime Ladybug
26 years old, 5'11", 175 lbs
Real Name: Eun Ae Moon
Ranked: #1, Special Circuit
This boxer from Seoul is a nature lover through and through. She enjoys relaxing in the open sunshine and experimenting with mixing berries and roots together for new teas. They aren't exactly popular with the others.
Here's the complete roster:
