Name: Manami Hayashi
Age: 20
Ranger Designation: Black
Appearance: Manami is a Japanese female that stands at the height of 5'1". Her typical day to day attire is filled with lighter colors, and her clothes tend to be loose and comfortable. T-shirts and shorts primarily. She does have a black hoodie that she tends to wear everywhere. But when wrestling or working out her attire tends to be straight black with a little orange added in.
Personality: Manami is an energetic and friendly person. To some, she may seem like a child in an adults body, and that may very well be true. Whenever she becomes interested in something, she will throw herself full force into it. But those kinds of things come and go in phases. The one thing she is always invested in is wrestling. From a young age, wrestling was something she always enjoyed. Something which branches off of this is playing characters. If she is told of a new RPG, then Manami will quickly look into everything about it and try to gather some people to join her in an adventure.
She can be serious though. If anyone she knows is hurt or feeling down, Manami will go out of her way to help them. Even if they don't want her to. If out in the world she notices someone causing trouble then she'll do what she can to stop it. Manami does have her fears and weaknesses though. Manami can be very stubborn, and there is no convincing her when she has her mind set on something. Another issue she has is that she tends to get a little rebellious when people try to force her to do something. Especially if they don't have any real authority over her. She is also deathly afraid of dogs and most animals deemed as 'dangerous.'
Background: At a young age Manami was practically thrown into the world of wrestling. Instead of watching children shows Manami begged to watch wrestling. When she was four, her dad and mother convinced her to take gymnastics. Her father had been a professional gymnast, and he wanted his children to at least give it a try. At first, Manami was against it, but when they told her that a lot of female wrestlers had been a gymnast at one point, she threw herself into it because she wasn't going to be allowed to train at wrestling until she was at least 15.
She fell in love with being a gymnast and if not for her family being so involved with the Japanese wrestling scene she might have forgotten about wanting to be a wrestler entirely. Yet, when her oldest brother won the major title of the promotion ran by her uncle, it reinvigorated her desire to be a wrestler. When she finally turned 15 her birthday present was a special training session with Manami Toyota. After this day, the woman took the younger Manami under her wings and taught her what she knew.
At the age of 17, Manami left for America. She stayed with her cousin in Angel Grove and would drive every night for three hours to train/wrestle at a small indie promotion. Three years later and Manami is still at the same indie promotion. She has moved into her own place now and is relatively well known in the general area. In Angel Grove, Manami may be recognized by one random person a week. She enjoys the attention, but it can get agitating in certain situations.
