Friction
Adrian Kytes (AFW Friction World Champion)
Played by: kerflubble
Click here to see her old appearance
A skilled and determined American Wrestler who would never back down from a fight. Also a cosplayer with a mean streak, or at least that was what she previously was before becoming a member of Bullet Club, calling herself The Cleaner in the process. The current AFW Friction World Champion.
- A-Cup Angst: Adrian is flat chested and not proud of it. She appreciates photos at angles that don't show this off.
- Affably Evil: For all of her less then stellar tendencies, she usually maintains an honestly civil relation with people. Even when she gets angered it's not because her niceness was an intended act.
- Beware the Nice Ones: She's rather nice and friendly in her downtime and even in the ring for the most part (Combat Pragmatist tendencies aside) but if she gets properly annoyed at an opponent she loses it in the worst way and is all about causing their day to be ruined.
- Blue-and-Orange Morality: Adrian is certainly not someone who goes looking for a fight, yet she also doesn't seem to comprehend why anyone would have an issue with her doing anything to win (AKA: Cheating). She maintains her happy demeanor in the face of being booed for anything she does in the ring, all while holding resentment towards people who treat her like she's being childish. She sees herself as much more mature then others despite these odd little quirks. And when she's mad she goes from normal to laughing like a maniac in a second, with no known explanation other then she's suddenly enjoying the pain shes dishing out.
- Combat Pragmatist: Adrian cheats and doesn't think twice about it when she does it. Worked wonders during her Hardcore Title reign.
- Dark Is Evil: As a part of Bullet Club, her wrestling outfit is predominantly black, and is a Heel.
- Expy: As the member of Bullet Club, she is the expy of The Cleaner-era Kenny Omega.
- Heel–Face Revolving Door: Given her rather odd sense of morals, Adrain has flipped between Face and Heel roughly six times, and you never know when she might do so again.
- For now, due to her being a part of Bullet Club, she is undeniably a Heel.
- Leotard of Power: Her newest wrestling outfit is a black leotard.
- Official Couple: With Rebecca Tomoko
- Power Stable: Is now a part of a new heel stable, Bullet Club.
- The Rival: To Cecilia Northman. Though they're mostly friends and Cecilia puts up with her antics better then most, they still have a competitive streak that runs a mile long. Cecilia has yet to beat Adrian (a rarity among her rivals) yet Adrian constantly feels like she's underestimated and falling behind the blonde.
- Shout-Out: Given she's a cosplayer, she's pretty much lives for this trope. She cheats to emulate her idols like Ric Flair and Roddy Piper but enjoys taking to the skies like Shawn Michaels or Randy Savage could do. To say nothing of her various outfits and finishers whose names are from various video games.
- Currently, after becoming a part of the stable Bullet Club, she has taken the gimmick of 'The Cleaner', the same gimmick that was used by Kenny Omega during his time in the stable.
Akiha Kosha
Played by: Serpon
A wealthy young woman who is well-known for her Patriotic Fervor as a Japanese wrestler who has deep disdain towards foreign wrestlers. And she has set quite a crusade to prove that Japanese wrestlers are much better than foreigners. Former Friction Tag-Team Champion alongside Gwendolyn DuPont Bettencourt. Her appearance is based on Akiha Tohno from Tsukihime.
- A-Cup Angst: Akiha is very insecure and conscious about her flat chest, a trait that she inherits from the character she's based from. Mentioning this in front of her face will trigger her Berserk Button.
- Berserk Button: Mentioning her flat chest. It is something that is carried over from the series she's originated from, Tsukihime.
- Breath Weapon: She is seen utilizing red mist several times in her matches.
- Expy: She takes more than just the appearance of Akiha Tohno from Tsukihime, like her insecurity about her flat chest and having a big brother (though this one is never explored in-story).
- Fiery Redhead: Akiha's hair is naturally black, and she didn't dye her hair red until she started her crusade. Her red hair and white outfit are meant to symbolize the Japanese flag.
- Finishing Move: Akiha utilizes moves as finishers such as; Rising Sun (diving rounding moonsault), Plunder (kneeling back-to-belly piledriver) and Pollute (venus flytrap).
- Heel: The Foreigner type, with a hint of the Monster type. Interestingly, considering that AFW is based in Japan, she does consider foreign wrestlers to be Foreign Wrestling Heel.
- Knight Templar: Akiha is so determined to prove the superiority of Japanese wrestlers, showing deep disdain towards foreign wrestlers. Also, despite her distaste towards foreign wrestlers, she doesn't have any problem allying with Gwendolyn DuPont Bettencourt, even forming a Tag Team with her.
- Mean Character, Nice Actor: Inside the ring, she is ruthless and sadistic, and is determined to show how inferior foreign wrestlers are compared to the Japanese ones. Outside the ring, however, she is a fairly decent, if a little distant young woman.
- The Ojou: She is the heiress of the Kosha company, a company that is famous for electronics. It's been mentioned that she's the second oldest born and that she has an older brother.
- Signature Move: Has quite a few, including Spinning Heel Kick, Shining Wizard, Enzuigiri, and Double Knee Facebreaker.
- Tag Team: The Imperial Order with Gwendolyn DuPont Bettencourt. It's interesting, considering that despite Akiha's distaste towards foreign wrestlers, she has no trouble teaming up with Gwendolyn. In fact, they become an effective team, even becoming Tag Team Champions at one point.
- Talk Show with Fists: She also hosts a talk show, Crème De La Crème, alongside her partner Gwendolyn. And unfortunately for her, she is also not immune to the Pie in the Face gag.
Amy Evans
Played by: Mystery Dragon
The aggressive Blonde fighter also know as 'The Lion'. An intense fighter who loves to mess with opponents and seek a challenge... or challenge herself when her opponent comes up lacking. Based on Leone from Akame ga Kill!'.
- Animal Motif: Lions. She even wears fake lion ears and paws during her entrances, though she always removes them before starting a match.
- Arch-Enemy: Karina seems to be this, as Amy loves beating her down to the point she intends to fight every member of her family that wrestles at AFW. Recently Odessa Brock has become one as well, with the women taking offense to Amy's lack of friendliness in matches. Needlessly harassing the Brit after the match didn't help either.
- Berserk Button: Hurting Chelsea, cheating, not meeting her standards in a fight- do any of these if you feel like facing her wrath.
- Blood Knight: Amy loves to fight and has no other interest that surpasses it in her mind. In fact, she hates facing jobbers because they provide no actual challenge and waste her time.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Amy doesn't cheat. Doing so is a sure fire way to piss her off.
- Jerkass: Amy doesn't care about anyone's feelings or situation sans Chelsea.
- Lightning Bruiser: Can take to the skies and move pretty fast, but still hits pretty damn hard. Given her inspiration, it makes sense she would strive to be this.
- Noble Demon: Amy just wants a good fight. If you provide one you have her respect, and her friendship with Chelsea shows she's more then just an aggressive bitch.
- Only Friend: Chelsea is this for her. Given Amy's attitude, the only surprise is the fact she has any friends. Though she seems to be forming another one with Kyoko and Catelyn Cormac.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Amy feeling apologetic about getting Cat involved in her beef with Cecilia, in which Cat took a beating, is definitely not standard for the Lion.
- Pet the Dog: Her indulging the fans' pleas to wear her Lion wig into a match with Death Bunny.
- Sadist: The Lion takes a perverse pleasure in beating down opponents. She also likes to take defeated prey home for who knows what.
- Toxic Friend Influence: She seems to have this affect with Chelsea, bringing out some of the worst in the redhead. And usually when her and Kyoko are getting along, it's not for the benefit of anyone else around them.
- Wild Card: Amy is a threat to everyone, whether they are Face, Heel, or Tweener.
Athena Wonder
Played by: RadiantKarna332
Also known as The Eighth Wonder, Athena Wonder is a veteran wrestler who temporarily retired after marrying her manager.

- Doting Parent: She clearly adores her daughter, Clara.
- Everyone Loves Blondes: Has blonde hair and is very attractive despite her age.

- Signature Move: Has a variety of moves, but she is usually seen using uranage, running big boot, and senton.
- Silver Fox: She is already a mother of a grown-up woman, though that certainly doesn't diminish her beauty. In fact, this certainly adds to her attractiveness.
- Stacy's Mom: Many of the younger wrestlers, usually her opponents, comment on her attractiveness.
- Superhero: Her gimmick. The character she's based from is a superheroine, and while she doesn't have any real superpowers here, she often presents herself as a heroic figure who often stands tall over her adversaries.
- The Worf Effect: Despite her being an experienced wrestler, she is often made to lose against other wrestlers to make them appear dangerous and threatening. Though this doesn't turn her into a Jobber, considering that Athena is still considered a legitimate threat in the ring and does win some of her matches from time to time.
Cecilia Northman
Played by: LunarWolf
The veteran of AFW and one of the Northman siblings with a great deal of success in the promotion. A top wrestler in the business and coined the Hardcore Queen by many, Cecilia has one of if not the longest career in AFW. Was formerly the Hardcore Champion and the AFW World Champion.
- The Ace: She is considered to be one of the best wrestlers in AFW, partly due to her involvement in the promotion for so long, as well as being (formerly) the Hardcore Champion as well as the World Champion of AFW. Overall she's pretty well rounded, which has helped her stay at the top for so long, knowing a variety of wrestling holds, submission holds, being able to brawl and use anything to her advantage, all contribute to being one of the toughest chicks on AFW.
- Arch-Enemy: Brittany served as this for a time, taking the hardcore championship from her in an intense contest. Cecilia would get her back in a way by taking the World title from her years later.
- Arrogant Kung-Fu Girl: Though not without reason, she's pretty confident in her abilities all around.
- Aloof Big Sister: She's pretty hands off with her sister Belinda. Not out of lack of love, but more because she knows Belinda wouldn't like being under her shadow as a wrestler.
- Berserk Button: Messing with her loved ones is one of her biggest ones, though she has a bit of a temper regardless.
- Combat Pragmatist: Her time as the Hardcore champ especially drilled this into her, and is part of the reason she's called the Hardcore Queen despite not even holding the belt in years. She won't outright cheat but don't expect her to be a stickler for the rules.
- Defiant to the End: When on the losing end of an intense match, especially if it's against someone she hates, expect her to go down swinging.
- Determinator: One of the traits that's gotten her through many bad situations is the fact that she will fight on when most normal people are too beaten down or tired.
- Early-Installment Weirdness: Early on she was a straight Jerkass with very little else going for her besides being a tough opponent. Her being a sort of Breakout Character contributed to her later change to a Jerk with a Heart of Gold.
- Finishing Move: She has several, such as the Jarngreipr (Fireman's carry Stunner) and the Gleipnir (Dragon Clutch).
- Friendly Rivalry: Has a few of these with some, such as Adrian Kites or Odessa Brock.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Her arrogance knows no bounds, and her insults can be as biting as her strikes, though despite being a Tweener she does tend to end on the side of Face more often then not.
- Official Couple: With Karina Rine, now Karina Northman.
- Refuge in Audacity: Tried to beat Kyoko at her own game during her Title match!
- The Rival: Her long career has brought her many. Some which are friendly (though sure as hell while not between the ropes), and some that are hostile all around. Her current ones consist of Adrian Kites, Odessa Brock, Kyoko Akan, Alison Seong, and Death Bunny.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: Her and Odessa. The two are just as liable to rip each others arms off while insulting each other as they are to compliment each others clothes.
Chelsea Loski
Played by: Mystery Dragon
The quick and spirited redheaded wrestler that joined AFW for her love of wrestling. Currently one half of the tag team champions with Belinda Northman. Based on Chelsea from Akame ga Kill!.
- Affectionate Nickname: Shes been called Lollipop by Amy and her parents. She taken to calling Akiha Kosha 'Boss'.
- The Atoner: She sees her time in college, where she bullied girls alongside Amy, as a bad time and strives to actually be a better person overall.
- Fiery Redhead: Played with. She's usually calm and collected, but tends to get hot-blooded in a match or in any situation that excites her.
- Fragile Speedster: She's quick and can hit pretty hard, but usually doesn't take well to taking hits.
- Hidden Depths: Doesn't show it much, but loves video games and once recognized Jade for her portrayal of an important character in one of her favorite games.
- Odd Friendship: Her and Amy. They used to be more similar, but later on Chelsea sought to improve as a person. Amy hasn't, yet the two remain close despite their growing differences.
- Tag Team: Blazing Blizzard with Belinda Northman.
- Tsundere: A rare version where the 'dere' side is most prominent. She's usually friendly all around, even in a match, but she has her bad moments and can be pretty arrogant when it counts.
- Wild Card: Has some moments, but usually falls in line as a Face.
Clara Wonder
Played by:RadiantKarna332
Daughter of Athena Wonder, she joined her mother to wrestle in AFW, calling herself The Little Wonder. Unlike her mother, she is a nimbler, agile and speed-oriented wrestler. Her appearance is based on Clara Haruka from Don't Meddle with My Daughter!.
- Amazonian Beauty: Despite having a more slender frame compared to her mother, she has quite an impressive physique. It has also been said that she has the same physique as her mother when she was younger.
- Cleavage Window: Just like her mother, her wrestling outfit also sports one.
- Everyone Loves Blondes: Has blonde hair like her mother, and is fairly attractive.
- Finishing Move: Wondrous Stomp (diving stomp) and Wonderkick (superkick).
- Hartman Hips: Just like her mother, Clara also has quite prominent hips, and the way she dresses herself also helps accentuates her figure.
- Like Mother, Like Daughter: She often tries to emulate her mother, Athena Wonder, as a wrestler, with varying degrees of success. Also, it's been mentioned that she resembles her mother when she was young, which is a case of Identical Daughter.
- Red Baron: As a Homage to her mother, she calls herself The Little Wonder.
- Signature Move: Besides the running big boot and senton that her mother uses, she commonly utilizes slingblade during her matches.
- Spoiled Brat: A downplayed example. She's not as bad as most examples, and she's not actively malicious and is actually a pretty decent girl, but being constantly pampered and spoiled by her mother makes her a little entitled.
- Superhero: Her gimmick, just like her mother's. The character she's based from is also a superheroine, who inherited her mother's superpowers. As a wrestler in AFW, she doesn't have any superpowers, but she often presents herself as a superheroine, complete with skintight spandex and a cape.
Eirina Makishima
Played by: RadiantKarna332
A fairly experienced wrestler who is also a licensed doctor. Due to her Germanic ancestry, she also calls herself Frau Doktor Eirina Makishima. Her appearance is based on Saint Martha from Fate/Grand Order.
- Berserk Button:
- Eirina is quite laid-back and friendly to everyone, but mention her age or call her old and you'll be immediately on her shit list.
- She also hates people who play dirty, as shown during her fight against Anasthesia.
- But Not Too Foreign: Half-Japanese, half-German. Not that it is too apparent, considering that she has a Japanese name. She does speak German once in a while, though.
- Combat Medic: She happens to be a doctor who wrestles, or a wrestler who happens to be a professional doctor.
- Deadly Doctor: Downplayed, considering that she doesn't kill anyone, but she often makes use of her knowledge in anatomy to inflict damage while wrestling.
- Herr Doktor: She even calls herself Frau Doktor, indicating her Germanic ancestry.
- Face: She is someone who is generally cheered by the audience, though she sometimes steers into Tweener territories.
- Finishing Move: Crippler Crossface, Busaiku Knee, and Tombstone Piledriver.
- Jack of All Stats: While she's leaning towards submissions, she is a very balanced wrestler.
- The Medic: Sometimes Eirina works backstage as a paramedic, treating injured wrestlers. Justified, considering that she's a licensed doctor.
- Really Gets Around: Eirina is sexually active. This is a Deconstruction, considering that being sexually active is the main reason behind her divorce.
- Sadist: Despite her friendliness and niceness, she can't help but take pleasure in inflicting pain on others, preferably her opponents. Sometimes, this is brought to a very logical conclusion.
- Signature Move: Has been seen utilizing many moves, but she seems to favor Lou Thesz Press and Fujiwara Armbar.
- What Could Have Been: During her inception, she was actually modeled after Eirin Yagokoro from Touhou Eiyashou ~ Imperishable Night, thus the name Eirina. But, Eirin has already been taken, and as a plan B, the appearance of Saint Martha from Fate/Grand Order was used for her instead. The name Eirina remains until this day.
- Wrestling Doesn't Pay: A subversion, because in AFW, wrestling does pay. She just likes wrestling despite being a professional doctor.
Great Kali
Played by: RadiantKarna332
An Indian wrestler who calls herself the Great Kali (has no relation with The Great Khali). Her appearance is based on Anarista from Queen's Blade.
- Amazonian Beauty: Great Kali's body is well-sculpted and she's not afraid to show it off. To make her muscles even more pronounced, she also puts on oil onto her body before going into the ring to give her complexion quite a luster under the lights.
- Blood Knight: She loves good fights in the ring, and is eager to jump into battles and emerge victorious. Somewhat a Downplayed Trope, considering that it is just her in-ring persona rather than her really being a Blood Knight.
- Foreign Wrestling Heel: She comes from India, and she is a Heel who wants to be a dominant force in the ring.
- Mean Character, Nice Actor: In the ring, she presents herself as a violent wrestler who loves violence and humiliating her opponent in sexy manners. Outside the ring, however, the woman behind the persona of Great Kali, Deepika Kumara is an ordinary woman who actually loves online shopping.
- Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: She is named after the goddess Kali from Hindu Mythology. Being an Indian as well as a Hindu practitioner, this makes perfect sense.
- Stripperiffic: Her wrestling outfit leaves nothing to the imagination. She may as well wrestle naked.
- Thong of Shielding: She wears a translucent thong leotard that covers only the bare minimum.
Gwendolyn DuPont Bettencourt
Played by: killcarrion
A vain, arrogant aristocratic woman who seeks to show her martial and wrestling prowess to the world, Gwendolyn DuPont Bettencourt is one of the many well-known heels in AFW. Was the former Friction Entropy Champion and former Friction Tag-Team Champion alongside Akiha Kosha. Her appearance is based on Luviagelita Edelfelt from Fate/hollow ataraxia.
- Action Girl: Her arrogance aside, Gwendolyn is a very skilled wrestler.
- Alpha Bitch: She is self-centered, overbearing, manipulative and pretentious, no thanks to being the heiress of a multinational trading corporation, Primol group.
- Butt-Monkey: Despite her achievements, Gwendolyn is often a victim of a lot of practical jokes. There is a Running Gag of her taking cakes or any form of pastries in the face.
- Finishing Move: Has quite a number of them; Colère de Dieu (spinning roundhouse kick), Oppression Royale (a modified figure four headscissors), Arbre Généalogique Royal (pedigree) and Haute Société (top-rope stunner).
- Heel: The Narcissistic type.
- Noblewoman's Laugh: A trait that she shares with the character she's based from.
- The Ojou: Like mentioned above, she is the heiress of Primol group, a multinational trading corporation, and she had been seen multiple times dealing with the business of the group when she wasn't wrestling.
- Red Baron: The Imperial Rose.
- Rich Bitch: Being an heiress of an affluent family, she always makes sure to remind everyone inher vicinity that she is stacked with cash, and she considers almost everyone around her to be mere plebians who should be grateful to be graced with her presence.
- Running Gag: She has become an unfortunate victim of the classic Pie in the Face gag, where she takes cakes, pastries, pies, or even fruit punch in the face, sometimes in quick succession.
- Signature Move: Has plenty of wrestling moves, but she commonly uses German Suplex, Running Bulldog and Assai DDT.
- Tag Team: The Imperial Order with Akiha Kosha. It's interesting, considering that despite Akiha's distaste towards foreign wrestlers, she has no trouble teaming up with Gwendolyn. In fact, they become an effective team, even becoming Tag Team Champions at one point.
- Talk Show with Fists: Alongside her partner Akiha, she often hosts her own talk show, Crème De La Crème, which always involves talking and interviewing her future opponents. More often than not, this talk show always ends with her taking cakes or pastries in the face.
- True Blue Femininity: Presenting herself as a poised figure, even during her match, she seems to be always wearing blue. That doesn't stop her from being a condescending bitch, however.
- "Well Done, Son" Guy: One of the sympathetic aspects of her character is her desire to win the approval of her parents and fear of falling out of favor with them.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Due to a traumatic experience when she was a child, she is terrified of dogs. Unfortunately for her, dogs seem to love her.
Julia Knight
Played by: Mystery Dragon
The gun-loving redhead with a bright smile and strong fists. Always eager to show off what she's capable of in the ring and even more eager to pick up a win. Based on Yoko Littner.
- Ax-Crazy: Since her Face–Heel Turn she's pretty much been this, pissing people off for no reason and starting fights for slights.
- Being Good Sucks: The lesson she got from her early time in AFW. Given what happened back then, and her progress since changing, it's hard to argue she does better as a villain.
- Blood Knight: An early sign she wasn't always as nice as she appeared was the way she went about her love of fighting, starting brawls needlessly while acting nice.
- Combat Pragmatist: She doesn't care how she wins, so long as her hands raised.
- Entitled Bastard: Feels she's deserving of respect and isn't happy about not getting it. Any moment she gets she'll go off on someone to prove her point.
- Establishing Character Moment: To establish that the nice girl in her was gone, she came out and promptly mocked the crap out of Tracer for her complaining about being jumped at her PPV debut. Then, when they wrestled, she took advantage of any injury and opening given to her for the quickest win.
- Evil Feels Good: Never outright stated, but given how much she tends to ham it up when she's winning, it's clear she's enjoying herself as a Heel.
- Humiliation Conga: Debuted and lost to a returning Michiko, then preceded to get her ass kicked by the likes of girls like Serina and Da Xia, beaten by the Brat Pack in a handicap match and smothered out, and ended up a punching bag to Yuki, with her only victory in-between all that being against a new girl who managed to get under her skin. Needless to say, she didn't have a good start in the business.
- Jerkass: Has become this full stop since she turned Heel.
- Jerkass Has a Point: She wasn't exactly being pleasant about it in the slightest, but she was right in her fight with Yuki that the girl in question broke the rules of the fight she herself made.
- Lightning Bruiser: Her looks don't show it, but she can hit pretty hard, move fast, and take some hits if necessary.
- Took a Level in Badass: She's been a lot more successful since she became a Heel, winning more matches, and even when she loses it's usually not as embarrassing for her as when she was a Face.
Kyoko Akan
Played by: Mystery Dragon
A young and impressive Japanese wrestler who takes a great deal of pride in her abs. Goes by the fan given nickname 'The Belly Queen' but is willing to do whatever challenge she faces. Was originally based off Hinata (The RTN version) from Naruto but has since gained her own image.
- Arch-Enemy: Amy Evans was this before they came to AFW. Da Xia and Cecilia Northman more or less fit the bill of that now.
- Awesome, but Impractical: Her Akan Buster is easily her strongest move and has yet to not end a match when it connects, but Kyoko has a hard time setting it up due to needing to force an opponent to the top turnbuckle and is harder to hit the longer a match goes on as Kyoko loses the stamina to actually lift up an opponent. Best seen in her match with Cecilia Northman, where she had her winded and on the brink of being finished, yet she lost time trying to set it up, allowing Cecilia to recover and stop Kyoko.
- Berserk Button: Being overlooked, insults directed at her title, and people who think that their abs are better then hers.
- Blood Knight: Amy had always accused her of enjoying fighting people because she loved to hurt them rather then help others in school. Later events would prove Amy right on the money.
- Character Development: Kyoko started off in AFW confident but respectful, getting involved in things because she wanted to prove herself but only wanting to wrestle and being befuddled by the wackier side of the business. Then she started to embrace it more and became much more confident with her body and sex appeal, even taking in some matches that she wouldn't usually do such as hentai. She lost a great deal of her confidence thanks to Da Xia, whose pettiness made Kyoko scared of her own shadow briefly. When she broke away from this for good, Kyoko became pettier, more vindictive, and easier to piss off even after putting Da Xia in her place. This really translated poorly in her fight with Cecilia who seemed to never admit directly that she respected Kyoko like Kyoko desperately wanted and ultimately made Kyoko resort to proving her superiority by any means necessary and no longer giving a damn about anyone but herself.
- Combat Pragmatist: Kyoko will do anything short of cheating to win a match, and if her opponent cheats first, she'll even do that.
- Determinator: Has yet to tap out because she will keep fighting until she physically can't. And pretty much takes a beating before you can even consider putting her down. She finally did so in her match with Masuyo but that was because it was an Ironman match and stubbornness would only hinder her.
- Dude, Where's My Respect?: A defining trait of Kyoko, especially after her humiliating debacle with Da Xia, is she feels she's constantly being underestimated and mocked for other's entertainment. One too many instances of being proven right caused her to snap.
- Early Installment Character-Design Difference: Her silver eyes were referenced a few times on account of her being based off Hinata. When she finally got her own original images, her eyes became a much more normal blue color.
- Enemy Mine: Formed one with Amy that became a long term tag team. The enemy part is a bit disputed now, despite what both girls say.
- Face–Heel Turn: Turned shortly before Avalanche beating on Cecilia, just as the women was actually seeming to offer her genuine respect she always wanted.
- Finishing Move: Akan Buster (Muscle Buster) and a Spear.
- Good Old Fisticuffs: What she usually resorts to in the heat of the moment, but don't think for a second she can't grapple when it matters.
- Heroic BSoD: Had one in college when she lost to Amy and it caused her to become a bit darker as a person. Has another after losing to Da Xia and spending time as her 'servant'. She didn't fully recover from either and they would both start to really affect her.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Kyoko is confident in herself and not at all afraid to talk down to someone she deems weak or piss off an opponent if she can. But she's usually polite outside of the ring unless you're really on her shit list, and even in the ring will show respect to wrestlers who have earned it, regardless of if she likes them or not. Also, even when she's being hard on younger or newer wrestlers, she's more than happy to let them train themselves up and come back at her to prove her wrong. She also is fully protective of people from bullies both in school and AFW and has gotten in fights for the sake of others
- Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: It's implied Kyoko got in fights with bullies because of her own desire to fight, rather then because she wanted to help people. That she's grown much more rude and condescending puts her desire to see people grow and try to face her again in a disturbing light. Course, it could be that her negative experience with Da Xia is still weighing on her.
- Kick the Dog: Has a tendency to be needlessly rude and aggressive with less experienced girls. Especially if she feels they lack the fire for the profession.
- Mêlée à Trois: Her brief feud with Cecilia Northman and Sermis Languis.
- Mirror Character: For all of her hatred of Amy Evans, the two are more alike than she'd care to think. Both enjoyed fighting and sought any excuse to pursue it, Amy just happened to be more blunt about it, they also tend to treat people they want to really hurt the same way. It's no wonder they gravitate towards each other. And though Kyoko can legit make friends and isn't all out aggressive like Amy, she does have a certain degree of disdain for people who aren't worthy opponents.
- No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Beat the crap out of both her Arch Enemies this way. One was awesome, the other wasn't.
- Pay Evil unto Evil: When she got her hands on Da Xia she had no problem inflicting all the pain and humiliation the girl had done to her. Then she started inflicting that same kind of pain on others for reasons less justified...
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: As soon as she was free from Da Xia's servitude, she went after the Chinese Bully with a vengeance.
- Tag Team: The Pride Queens with her rival Amy.
- Wild Card: Though she does lean more towards face, her own attitude and issues assures she can be a pretty nasty person to deal with in the right environment. Subverted later when she turned Heel.
Loretta Sombra
Played by: RadiantKarna332
A Masked Luchador from Mexico. One of the three pupils of Oboro Scarlett. Her appearance is based on Fukumen Sugata no Onna Senshi from Taimanin Asagi.
- Amazonian Beauty: Despite her being a high-flying Masked Luchador, she has quite an impressive body, with obvious six packs. The fact that she wears a skimpy wrestling outfit also helps.
- Animal Motifs: Panthers. She is also known as La Pantera in Mexico.
- Finishing Move: Flecha de Bruja (corkscrew shooting star press) and Toque de Espaldas (hammerlock and headscissor combo).
- Freudian Excuse: Her mother's death was a catalyst of her becoming the person she is today.
- Jerkass: Is absolutely proud and unapologetic while calling herself a villain, relishing in the jeers and boos of the crowd. She enjoys riling up the audience with her horrible acts and is very unrepentant about it.
- Mask of Power: She wears a panther-themed luchador mask that covers the upper part of her head.
- Rudo: Being a luchadora, she is unapologetically a rudo, or a heel, who is a villain who opposes those who stand in her way.
Melody Serperior
Played by: Vcom7418
A young woman from Britain. A very skilled wrestler who has been noted In-Universe to have a resemblance to an anthropomorphized Serperior.
- Berserk Button: If there's something that definitely pisses her off, it is people who cheat in the ring. Naturally, upon meeting Orochi in the ring, the two of them become mortal enemies due to Orochi's cheating way.
- Finishing Move: Leaf Blade (RKO) and Leaf Storm (running knee strike to the head). Note that they are actually the names of moves from the game Pokémon.
- Occidental Otaku: She loves Japanese culture, especially anime and Japanese games, despite her coming from Britain.
Nanami Tomonari
Played by: RadiantKarna332
A former Japanese Delinquent who cleaned up her act and became a professional wrestler.
- Determinator: Despite her always being the loser in the matches she fights in, she will always fight until the bitter end. Considering her past as a rough and violent Japanese Delinquent, it is quite fitting.
- Finishing Move: Yomi Piledriver (jumping piledriver) and Tempest Bomb (fire thunder powerbomb).
- Hot-Blooded: Normally, she's sweet and demure, but if she gets too worked up, she'll revert back to her former self.
- Japanese Delinquent: She was one once. She's cleaned up her act since then after being released from her incarceration.
- Leotard of Power: More modest than what one may expect from female wrestlers, but it's still pretty tight.
- Martial Arts Headband: Wears a white one while in the ring.
- Nice Girl: After being released from juvenile hall, she becomes a much sweeter person, though she still can snap back to her old self if she is put under pressure.
- Prison Changes People: Or rather, juvenile hall. She began to rethink her life and decided to change her life for the better. She became more respectful, polite and overall a nicer person, though she still can revert to her old self if she gets too worked up, especially in the ring.
- Samurai: This is essentially her gimmick as a wrestler. She carries herself with dignity in the ring, disciplined, honorable and generally respectful.
- The Worf Effect: She tends to lose most of her matches in the ring. This is a case of her being put against opponents who are far stronger than her rather than her being an outright Jobber.
- Yamato Nadeshiko: She is currently this, being sweet and soft-spoken. This is a case of her cleaning up her act because when she was young, she was a Hot-Blooded Japanese Delinquent.

Silver Ace
Played by: Old Man Tai
A Canadian wrestler who is very skilled in the ring. At one point, she was the Hardcore Champion of AFW before losing the title to Jessica Wright.
- 10-Minute Retirement: Depressed and burnt out after struggling to maintain relevance, having to deal with a feud with a villainous stable, WAR, and losing her Hardcore Title, as well as being injured multiple times, Silver Ace decided to take a year off, re-training herself while reconnecting with her mentor, Silver King, before finally returning back to AFW. In her return, she adopted a new look and eager to take the league by storm.

- Jack of All Stats: Thanks to her incorporating multiple disciplines in her styles, she is quite balanced.
- Light Is Good: Her wrestling outfit is white in color, and she is a Face.
- She seems to have added some blue in her newest outfit, showing another case of Blue Is Heroic.
- Playing Card Motifs: Her in-ring named is based on Ace in playing cards. That name was bestowed by a Mexican wrestling legend, Silver King, who picked her as a partner in wrestling matches. Hilariously, she was also bestowed a terrible full body silver spandex outfit, which she naturally doesn't wear in her career as a wrestler.
Sheena Akan
Played by: Mystery Dragon
A young and friendly Japanese fighter with a great deal of interest in charms. Kyoko's cousin and still very new to the wrestling world at large, to say nothing of how new she is to the practices of AFW. Based on Sheena from Tales of Symphonia.
- All-Loving Heroine: Odd coming from a wrestler but true, she usually tries to be friendly to everyone, even heels despite how they tend to get.
- Blood Knight: Played with. Despite her nice nature she admits to loving fights, though she doesn't try to hurt someone more then she has to.
- Boring, but Practical: Her wrestling style in general; she's not overtly flashy or going to be talking trash, instead she tries to work on finding a weakness and exploiting it for all it's worth and in the most efficient way possible.
- Determinator: Fragile Speedster tendencies aside, Sheena isn't about to call it quits until she's well and truly beaten.
- Face: Being a Nice Girl, she fights cleanly and treats every match with sportsmanlike behaviors. Totally different compared to her cousin, Kyoko Akan.
- Fragile Speedster: Fast and technical, but isn't about to be getting into brawls anytime soon.
- Nice Girl: Almost too nice for the company she's working for.
- Only Sane Woman: She really doesn't get the appeal of Kyoko's antics and generally prefers to just arrive, wrestle, and be done with it.
- Serious Business: Her charms, full stop. She fully believes in them and their ability to work when it matters, and doesn't like being mocked for this. Which is the closest thing she has to a Berserk Button.
- Stripperific: Subverted. Sheena wrestles extremely modestly, even by normal wrestling standards, to say nothing of how that compares to her cousin.
- Unfazed Everyman: Pretty much accepts everything that happens at AFW with a smile and a wave.
