|Job at AWE |» Hype Woman/Manager
|Skills |» Dana's biggest skill, apart from the accent which has the benefit of making people swoon, is her salesmanship. Given her background - which was decidedly NOT in wrestling - she has mastered the art of the 'upsell' which is both a boon and a bane. While she is good at talking, she doesn't always seem to understand that the world of managing a wrestler is different from selling insurance or products to gullible people, which often leads to lofty promises to continue the hype.
While the jury is still out on whether or not it's a skill, Dana's willingness to learn from her partner - that is the one she manages - can make her seem somewhat naive; rather ironic for one who made a living prior to this from preying on naive sorts. Dana is a mind willing to learn even as she's standing dead center and selling a product that just so happens to be a person rather than a thing.
Dana is somewhat well traveled, having lived in Ireland and England before the States which allows her to work a crowd. Who doesn't love a mention of local sports team? What about local monument? Selling is all about getting the person to buy anything that leaves the mouth; and her accent only carries her so far.
|Reason for being here |» She was scouted. Sales is a constantly changing field and Dana, though decent at it, was not immune from the changing market. Though she has little experience in this particular industry, her skills have carried over enough to where she was picked to act as a manager without knowing the full details of the job. Some might call into question her place or purpose, but she's committed to the job. She is here to make her client look good and win matches. That's the long and short.
|Looks & Style |» Among some of the more known members of the roster - particularly the ones that do the wrestling - Dana probably doesn't hold a candle looks wise, or at least that's her view. She has a certain...girl off the street look for her, which is coincidentally almost fully accurate. But she doesn't feel the need to dress skimpily or like some stuffy business broad because of it. Hers is a natural sort of charm and charisma, with an expressive face that works well with her pale skin and burnt hair color. She manages to be just as confident, if not more so, than the people who are confident solely because of their bodies - and she doesn't have to be a bitch to get that across.
Unless chosen otherwise by the company, Dana will typically be found sporting business casual attire - a holdover from her sales jobs - with blouses and pants when she's speaking and clothes she can move in when at ringside. She never dons heels or boots, always a nice pair of shoes, sneakers generally, with an unkempt natural look about her hair. Casually, the sweater, skirt, tights combo is one of her stand-by outfits. It serves her well. Let the hussy's show their skin. That's not Dana Flynn.
|Personality Traits |» Smooth talking, charismatic, sassy, classy, not really much of an assy, one hype machine roarin' lassie. But of course, that's the image she projects because that's what sells. When she sees the groups, has the lights beaming down on her...it's hard not to feel a bit overwhelmed at everything. She's still so green. And at this point she'll believe anything if it comes from a professional or veteran. What does she know? Not much.
|Favorite wrestler |» Insert managed wrestler here.
|Rep at AWE |» Being the new girl she's already expecting to be the victim of some pranks, some sort of method of hazing the new blood. She has a willingness to perform well that, combined with the fact her on-screen persona is pretty much who she is all the time, makes her sort of an annoying presence over long periods of time. Dana thinks she's hilarious, which is why she's always wanting to be the first one to crack a joke and the first one to blame other people if they don't laugh at it. Easy to like, easier to want to get rid of, but at least she means well.
