After a hiatus from wrestling for about a year, she has made a return to the squared circle - competing in TNA under her own name. She is currently part of ''Wrestling/LuchaUnderground'' as 'Catrina'[[note]]Because of the nature of Lucha Underground, this is not simply a different working name, but a wholly different character she is portraying- namely an [[OlderThanTheyLook ancient]] FemmeFatale [[OurGhostsAreDifferent ghost]] controlling a thrice-reborn WrestlingMonster[[/note]].

* {{Sadist}}: Where Catrina stands out from all her other gimmicks(aside from being a murderous revenant commanding ghost). She's had issues with entitlement before, bullied people, let lechery get in the way of winning, raged over petty slights, but had never been so pointlessly cruel. Moreover, she might hurt people just because she doesn't like them or to get what she wants, but she's did seem to be acting out of disdain where as Catrina seems to be enjoying herself.

* DrunkWithPower: When she took over the Temple of Lucha Underground she made it clear she would not be granting former champions automatic rematches, which in most combat sports enterprises are obligatory to some degree, in order to prolong the reigns of The Disciples of Death and Mil Muertes.

to:

* DivideAndConquer: When The Son Of Havoc, Wrestling/IvelisseVelez and Angelico successfully passed her test and "proved" themselves worthy of a title shot Catrina didn't give them the rematch they wanted with The Disciples Of Death but pit them in a three way dance to decide who would face Lucha Underground Champion Mil Muertes, further weakening whoever would fight him(ended up being Ivelisse) and ensuring the Disciples Of Death would have an easier time beating down all three if the match with Muertes started to go South for him(he won but Catrina had them beat up anyway)

* FoeRomanceSubtext: Catrina has Fenix, who she manipulated as part of her quest to strengthen Mil Muertes but genuinely feels bad about doing it, despite him becoming her any and consistent obstacle. And [[Wrestling/SamiCallihan Jeremiah Crane]], who is not just a rival on the front of artifact theft but also outright stated to be an ex boyfriend who wants her back bad. Then a one sided example with Wrestling/IvelisseVelez, who she initially only wanted the title belt of with no personal interest but then decided Velez tasted better than anyone else in the temple she had licked and thus continued perusing her out of pleasure.

Two years later Catrina herself would this {{avert|edTrope}} herself with Mil Muertes in Lucha Underground and in fact prove to be even worse than Lee.

As a glance at her face would suggest, she has quite the collection of ethnicities in her blood - Spanish, Cuban, Hawaiian, Italian, English, Irish and Chinese to be specific. Before she entered wrestling, she studied to be a criminologist.

She signed a developmental contract with WWE in 2009 and first debuted in their developmental program FCW - first using the name Liviana. After a few months there, she appeared as one of the rookies for the third (all-women's) season of NXT where she was mentored by Wrestling/AliciaFox, using the name '''Maxine'''. She was the second contestant eliminated, but continued dominating storylines in FCW - where she was even General Manager for a while. She enjoyed her biggest WWE success when she debuted as a character on NXT Redemption - first as the valet for Derrick Bateman, but soon breaking out on her own. After NXT Redemption was cancelled and retooled into the developmental show it is now, Maxine requested her release from WWE.

Karlee Perez is an American actress, model and professional wrestling personality. As a glance at her face would suggest, she has quite the collection of ethnicities in her blood - Spanish, Cuban, Hawaiian, Italian, English, Irish and Chinese to be specific. Before she entered wrestling, she studied to be a criminologist.

She signed a developmental contract with WWE in 2009 and first debuted in their developmental program FCW - first using the name Liviana. After a few months there, she appeared as one of the rookies for the third (all-women's) season of NXT where she was mentored by Wrestling/AliciaFox, using the name '''Maxine'''. She was the second contestant eliminated, but continued dominating storylines in FCW - where she was even General Manager for a while. She enjoyed her biggest WWE success when she debuted as a character on NXT Redemption - first as the valet for Derrick Bateman, but soon breaking out on her own. After NXT Redemption was cancelled and retooled into the developmental show it is now, Maxine requested her release from WWE.

After a hiatus from wrestling for about a year, she has made a return to the squared circle - competing in TNA under her own name. She is currently part of ''Wrestling/LuchaUnderground'' as 'Catrina'.

!!Tropes at the top:

* AlphaBitch: Slowly became this on NXT Redemption.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Her complete list of ethnicities is above. WWE gave her the ambiguously exotic name Liviana at first, before going for the more Anglo sounding Maxine. In ''Lucha Underground'' she is presented as Latina.
* ArchEnemy: Kaitlyn quickly became this on NXT Redemption, as Maxine was jealous of her OddFriendship with Derrick Bateman.
* BadBoss: As FCW General Manager. She was later kicked out of office and replaced with Wrestling/SummerRae.
* {{Bridezilla}}: Oh so much leading up to her wedding on the NXT 100th episode special.
* {{Brownface}}: She's more tanned as Catrina than she is normally.
* ByTheHair: A lot of her moves in the ring would involve dragging the other girl by her hair.
* CombatPragmatist: Maxine would use every dirty trick she could think of to win a match.
* ContinuityNod:
** When she was a guest on The Aksana Show, Aksana brought up a picture of Maxine kissing Hornswoggle on NXT.
** She seized control of ''Lucha Underground'' at the end of Season 2, referencing how she had done the same in FCW.
* DarkActionGirl: And how! She's very vicious in the ring. The lady herself has said that her arsenal is full of moves that she would use if she were in an actual fight.
* DemotedToExtra: After NXT Redemption ended she appeared only in multi-Diva tag matches and battle royals. After a few weeks of this, she asked for her release.
* FemmeFatale: This was the gimmick she pitched to debut with on Smackdown, but it went to {{Wrestling/Aksana}} instead. She finally got to play such a character as Catrina.
* FinishingMove: She used a double underhook sitout facebuster to defeat AJ once. Then she adopted a dragon scissors, which she said was more practical to use on bigger Divas like Kaitlyn or Tamina.
* GeniusBruiser: She studied to be a criminologist, was able to run FCW and used a lot of submissions and other 'smart' strategies in wrestling.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** Her "at the top" catch phrase was sometimes not-so-subtly changed to "on top". Alicia Fox once suggested that Maxine was "more comfortable on her back".
** When she dressed up as the IceQueen for Halloween, there was this exchange.
--> '''Matt Stryker:''' You can melt that outfit.
--> '''Maxine:''' I can. But you know what cold water does to a man, Stryker.
--> ''Stryker shuffles off, hands cupped over his area.''
* GracefulLoser: When she was eliminated from NXT Season 3, she gave a very classy farewell speech.
* {{Heel}}: Much like {{Wrestling/Maryse}} she only ever played a heel in her WWE career. She was even the only heel on NXT Season 3 (though Kaitlyn started as a heel, she quickly turned face).
* IHaveManyNames: Liviana in FCW, Maxine in WWE, Catrina in ''Lucha Underground'' and her own name in TNA.
* LeotardOfPower: Her default attire on NXT Redemption.
* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: The dark feminine to Kaitlyn's light. This was played up again in TNA, with Wrestling/TarynTerrell as the light.
* LoopholeAbuse: NXT Season 3 had a 'Kissing Contest' with Wrestling/CodyRhodes. She made him kiss her hand.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Her relationship with Derrick Bateman. Not so much with Johnny Curtis.
* MsFanservice: As a heel, she was able to get away with it in the PG WWE. Her ring gear was very skimpy, she brought a lot of lesbian subtext to the proceedings and wasn't above dropping innuendos.
* ScreamingWarrior: Good thing she and {{Wrestling/Paige}} or {{Wrestling/Melina}} were never in the same ring together.
* SlapSlapKiss: Deconstructed after a while where Kaitlyn got friends to hold an intervention for Derrick Bateman over how unhealthy his relationship with Maxine was.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: She's been sprayed with breath spray, given pie in the face, been caught kissing Hornswoggle and thrown off a mechanical bull.
* StockingFiller: Some of her ring outfits had stockings on them.
* TookALevelInBadass: She rarely wrestled in developmental and took on a valet role on NXT Redemption at first. Yet she was noted to be quite a standout in terms of wrestling once she did. She also won far more matches on NXT Redemption than she did on Season 3.
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Both towards Derrick Bateman and Johnny Curtis.
* WinterRoyalLady: Her costume as the 'Ice Queen' for NXT's HalloweenEpisode.
