Author's Note: This is a headcannon chapter that details profiles of each main wrestler shown in Berserk. Some time ago, I wrote profiles for the background characters, so I decided to write profiles for the more known characters for solidarity, especially those who don't have much known about them. Next chapter will have profiles for Miyabi wrestlers, including Elena, Juri, and others. Since there are very little wrestlers revealed in Miyabi, I'll be using OCs. If you've got an OC that you'd like in Miyabi, send me a profile of them. Any and all comments are welcome.
Queen Bee
Age: 24
Appearance: Queen Bee has long, black hair and an athletic build. Inside the ring, she has a black-and-yellow two-piece with a horizontal pattern. That same pattern is on her wristbands and boots. Outside the ring, she wears a white T-shirt with a logo of the Queen Bee gym on it. She also has on a pair of blue shorts and a black, leather jacket.
Personality: Queen Bee considers herself of a tweener, someone who walks the line of a babyface and a heel. She's a good person truly, but in the ring, she can be merciless when she has to and she's not afraid to fight a little dirty. She also has a short temper and never backs down from a challenge even if it's a bad idea to accept.
Fighting style: Queen Bee is a well-balanced wrestler along with an experienced brawler.
Finishing move: The Queen's Sting (enzuigiri kick); Sharpshooter
Bio: Queen Bee's real name is Dawn Sawyer, from America. After being inspired by a match between Jackal Tojo and Sayuri Rogue, she joined the Queen Bee gym to become a pro wrestler named Dawn Breaker. However, in all the matches she had, she kept losing terribly. After some training from her mentor, Lyra Booker, Dawn managed to win her first match. However, after one of her rivals left, the Queen Bee gym went bankrupt and closed down. Dawn then took on the Queen Bee name and traveled across America as a free agent until she earned enough money to move to Japan and join Berserk.
Relationships:
-Kaito Marx—Queen Bee met Kaito in the park before he joined Animal Squadron. Soon after, Queen Bee gave him helpful hints that made him a better wrestler. They have an attraction to each other.

Sakura Hagiwara
Age: 18
Appearance:
Personality: Sakura is a sweet girl who appreciates the love she gives and receives from her fans. She loves pro wrestling just as much as she loves her pro wrestling career. However, she does hate it when she and everything she loves is shown no respect and impulsively takes any challenge to defend them.
Fighting style: Sakura has much endurance. Not only can she endure any submission hold, she can perfectly reverse it and use it against her opponent. She has a showy fighting style that she takes from her time in Sweet Diva. Due to her time submitting in her beginner days, she has vowed to never submit again.
Finishing Move: The Sakura Special (She crouches down before backflipping. During the flip, she kicks her opponents chin with both of her feet one at a time knocking them down.)
Bio: Sakura Hagiwara was the lead vocalist for the popular singing group, Sweet Diva. To promote the group, Sakura and Elena decided to work out at Berserk. When Rio Kazama devastated Elena and mocked idols, Sakura challenged her to an official match. Not only did Sakura lose, she was humiliated both physically and spiritually when she had her hair cut. She became a pro wrestler to avenge both losses, but suffered months of losing to the Boston crab match after match. After some special training from Misaki Toyoda, Sakura managed to stop submitting and eventually picked up her first win at her rematch against Rio. After that, Sakura became a full-time wrestler before changing to part time.
Relationships:
-Elena Miyazawa—Sakura and Elena are best friends who star together in Sweet Diva. When Elena got beat up by Rio, Sakura joined pro wrestling to avenge her. When Sakura stayed a pro wrestler, Elena tried to force her back into Sweet Diva, but after their match, they both decided to be both wrestlers and pop stars as well as best friends.
-Misaki Toyoda—After Sakura kept losing the same way dozens of times, she was about to quit. That was when the BWQ champion, Misaki, invited her to a sparring session which turned into a very extreme lesson that helped Sakura stop submitting to the same move. Misaki has been her mentor ever since. They also became a tag team and won the BWQ tag team championships from the League of Evil.
-Rio Kazama—When Rio met Sakura, she had absolutely no respect for her or her profession thinking they had no place in the ring. Rio beat up Elena, humiliated Sakura, and cut the latter's hair. Nine months later, after brutal matches, Sakura became strong enough to best Rio and finally gain her respect. They've been awaiting their third match together ever since.
-Yoshi Hirano—Yoshi is Sakura's boyfriend from Animal Squadron. At first, he was extremely shy about being with her, but after some time, they got closer and closer together.
-Kaichou—Kaichou is the president of Sakura Hagiwara's fan club, even after she transferred from Sweet Diva to Berserk. When everyone else in the club gave up on Sakura after she lost so many times, Kaichou was the only fan left who had any faith in her supporting her all the way.
-Moe Fukuoka—Moe Fukuoka became an instant fan of Sakura after seeing her match against Jackal Tojo and was inspired to join Berserk. After proving herself, she became Sakura's student despite herself still being a rookie.

Fighting style: Misaki uses a powerful moveset and uses momentum to her advantage.
Finishing Move: The Misaki Special (Misaki grabs her opponent in a cobra clutch and then suplexes them over her); The Misaki Special 2.0 (The same as the Misaki Special, except Misaki puts in more pressure to the suplex by putting her other arm under her opponent's thigh and pulling from there.)
Bio: Before joining Berserk, Misaki used to be a pop star. She joined pro wrestling in order to experience something new. But because she was still holding onto her idol past, she had a long losing streak. After some strict training from Jackal Tojo, she cut all ties to her idol past and put all of her focus into her pro wrestling career eventually becoming the Berserk Wrestling Queen champion.
Relationships:

Appearance: Rio is a fit woman with an athletic look. She has short white hair and a purple two-piece that matched her boots. During her entrance, she also wears a purple mask and cape.
Personality: Rio is a tomboy who takes pro wrestling seriously, sometimes too seriously. She doesn't hold back when she's disrespecting anything that she believes doesn't belong in the ring. It takes a lot to earn her respect, but when you do, you'll be glad you did.
Fighting style: Rio uses a very powerful variety of strikes and submission moves. Not only that, but she mocks her opponents to get under their skin. And to top it all off, she uses whatever method she can to humiliate any opponent she believes lesser than her, even opening their legs for the public.
Finishing Move: Rear naked choke hold
Bio: Growing up, Rio has admired Jackal Tojo and wanted to be just like her. When she was old enough, she joined up with Berserk so she can kick butt in the ring like the World champion. She quickly rose up the ranks to become one of the toughest and roughest ladies on the roster.
Relationships:
-Sakura Hagiwara—At first, Rio had absolutely no respect for Sakura thinking she was giving pro wrestling a bad name for being in the gym. Rio showed her how weak she was by defeating her horribly in the ring and cutting her hair as punishment. Nine months later, after Sakura suffered a long string of losses, she was finally able to win her rematch against Rio and be worthy of being her rival. To this day, Rio is waiting for their third match.
-Elena Miyazawa—When Elena first entered the gym, she said that pro wrestling was easy. That provoked Rio enough to challenge her to a rough sparring session that got Sakura to challenge her. Months later, after Elena dressed up as Blue Panther and knocked her out quickly, Rio had gained a bit of respect for Elena, but was still peeved at her for doing that.
-Ichiro Azai—Rio and Ichiro have known each other since they were kids. He would usually tease her calling her "Snow Head" often getting on her nerves. Still, they always had a soft spot for each other.
-Kurea Komiyama—Rio and Kurea became good friends and sparring partners in Berserk. Sometimes, Kurea would be Rio's partner both inside the ring and at ringside.
-Hiyori—Both Rio and Hiyori started Berserk together and were competitive with each other during their training. After they both passed the 100 Hellish Throws challenge, they became each other's debut opponents. After Rio beat her, there wasn't anything next for the two of them, so they put their rivalry to rest.
-Queen Bee—At first, Rio thought that Queen Bee was a pretentious girl who had no business in the ring. But after Queen Bee surprised her during a sparring session, Rio gained a bit of respect. Although, she refuses to call her "Queen" Bee until she (Queen Bee) earns her full respect.
Trivia:
-I've based Rio's finishing move on the fact that she's used it three times in the series. The first time was to finish Sakura off in their match in episode 1. The second time was used offscreen, but it was announced to have been used against Chinatsu in episode 3. She used it one more time on Sakura in episode 6.

Bio: Moe is the granddaughter of a renowned wrestler and Seiichi Inoba's mentor. While at first, she had no interest in being a pro wrestler and instead becoming a karate star, she saw Sakura's match against Jackal Tojo and was inspired to be a Berserk competitor and joined shortly after.
Relationships:
-Moe's grandfather—Moe's grandfather is a pro wrestler and Seiichi Inoba's mentor. He wanted Moe to be a pro wrestler, but before she saw Sakura in the ring, she had no interest. In the ring, she honors her grandfather by using some of his famous moves such as the octopus stretch.
-Seiichi Inoba—Seiichi Inoba is an old friend and student of Moe's grandfather. Though he is not related by blood, he is very much Moe's uncle.
-Sakura Hagiwara—Sakura Hagiwara was Moe's inspiration to be a pro wrestler. After joining Berserk, Moe appointed herself to be Sakura's student even though she had no experience in mentoring. And after seeing Sakura perform with Sweet Diva in the ring (in episode 12), Moe exclaims that maybe she should give being a pop idol a shot.
-Rio Kazama—After catching Moe messing around with the gym equipment on her first day, Rio challenged her to a sparring match. However, Moe caught her by surprise by knocking her down with one kick. Rio's had little care for her ever since.

Relationships:

-Chocho—One of Digger Yamamoto's greatest achievements was handing Chocho one of her rare losses. Although it was won through underhanded means, the overweight heel herself still boasts about it.
-Excavator Sakuya—Digger and Hornet have seen a lot of potential in Sakuya, but still hound her whenever she loses a match against someone with less experience than her.
Trivia:
-In the Japanese dub, Digger Yamamoto is named Yumbo Yamamoto. I chose to call her by her English dub name because I already know an overweight wrestler in anime called Yumbo and I didn't want to confuse the two.

Kaito Marx
Age: 25
Appearance: Kaito Marx is fit with brown hair. Outside the ring, he wears casual clothes that are different every day. Inside the ring, he wars a blue face mask with red linings, blue wristbands, and blue tights with red lines. An althernate costume for him is for his whole attire to have a jaguar print and his entrance would have him wearing a jaguar cape.
Personality: No matter what, Kaito Marx has a never say die attitude and fears that if he ever quit, he'd never look at his family in the eye again. He's also known to be as attractive to single ladies as Yoshi is, but he is much more shy about it than he is. Nevertheless, he is loyal to the end.
Fighting style: At first, Kaito could only be brave enough to use basic moves like punches, kicks, and headlocks which is what made him vulnerable enough to lose all his matches. But after a tip from Queen Bee, he adapted a more flexible fightinh style that allowed him to use acrobatic moves he was scared of doing before.

Personality: Jackal has strong confidence and takes great pride in pro wrestling always on the lookout for future talent. She's also smart and willing to give her opponents a grace period for a confidence boost.

Finishing Move: The Jackal Super Galaxy (Jackal carries her opponent behind her holding them up by their arms before powerbombing them overhead making them crash right into the mat)
Bio: Jackal started off wrestling as a lesser-known gym where she clashed heads with Sayuri Rogue. After Sayuri defeated her and was transferred to Shangri-La, Jackal began wrestling at Berserk where she helped train Juri Sanada, Kanae Fujishita, and Misaki Toyoda. A few years later, Jackal made it to Shangri-La and became the World Champion. Some time after that, she returned to Berserk to check out the latest wrestlers particularly interested.
Relationships:
-Sayuri Rogue—Jackal and Sayuri have been rivals ever since they met at the minor gym they both started in. At first, they were very bitter towards each other. When a position for Shangri-La came up, Sayuri defeated Jackal to get there first. Years later, Jackal moved there and defeated Sayuri for the World title belt. From then on, their rivalry has become a lot more friendly and went to a point where despite having several matches against each other, the audience could never get bored of it. Many have speculated just what their relationship is like, whether if it's friends or more, but it's still a mystery.
-Misaki Toyoda—At Berserk, Misaki was one of Jackal's students. When Misaki had a long, hard losing streak, Jackal stepped in giving her a harsh lesson that changed her outlook on everything. Misaki hopes to prove herself by besting Jackal in the ring someday.

-Sakura Hagiwara—Upon hearing how Misaki took Sakura under her wing, Jackal became interested enough to challenge Sakura to a match. Even though the champion won, there were moments where she was surprised by Sakura's strength and saw a bright future for her.
Trivia:
-I'm on the fence on whether to put Jackal Tojo and Sayuri Rogue in a romantic relationship. I would like to know how you all think.
-It is unclear if Jackal has officially returned to the Berserk roster since her return to Japan, but I choose to make it so in this fanfic.

Appearance: Kanae has a slim body and green hair. Outside the ring, she wears a white jacket over a purple shirt. She also wears black pants and glasses. Inside the ring however, she doesn't wear glasses and she wears a white-and-blue two-piece with blue boots.
Personality: Outside the ring, Kanae is a kind reporter with morals, even when she's reporting. She has an innate ability to read people. She's also a good friend to Misaki and Juri. Inside the ring, however, she is a mischievous schemer. She does some tricky stuff to get a win, but usually minor stuff.
Fighting style: Kanae is a strong veteran who uses submission techniques and mischievous tricks to pull off a win, but nothing that would issue a foul. Nevertheless, she is strong enough to be Jackal's student.
Finishing Move: The Kanae Krash (Kanae lands a fisherman's suplex, but she also jumps as they land on the mat backflipping and crashing right on top of them)
Bio: Kanae Fujishita was a pro wrestler for Berserk under Jackal Tojo's tutelage. One day, after a match against a Miyabi wrestler named Kassidy Klaws, Kanae was attacked post-match and was slammed to the top of a ringpost nearly breaking her back. She spent the next couple years in physical therapy. During that time, Kanae took the job of reporter for wrestling magazines to make money.

-Misaki Toyoda—Misaki is a friend of Kanae who was also trained by Jackal Tojo. They keep in touch regularly often for inside scoops and helpful tips.

-Natsuki Okumura—Kanae and Natsuki were partners in the reporter business and were attracted to her. Natsuki is kinda shy and Kanae is the playful tease, which makes Natsuki attracted to her more.
-Queen Bee—After returning to Berserk, Kanae offered herself to be Queen Bee's mentor. At first, Queen Bee thought it'd be a waste of time, but she soon finds that some of Kanae's advice tends to work out.
-Kassidy Klaws—Kassidy Klaws is the wrestler who broke Kanae's back after being defeated by her. Even though she was fired by Juri, Kassidy still lingers in Kanae's dream. Though she may not admit it, she still trembles when thinking about her hoping she'd never have to face her again.
Trivia:
-I've based Kanae's wrestling style on how she behaved during the OVAs.
