5	Seini Draughn (née Tonga, born 27 November 1982) is a UsefulNotes/{{Tonga}}n {{Professional Wrestl\|ing}}er working under the name '''Lei'D Tapa.''' She debuted in 2011 in the Carolinas independent scene, winning the [[http://aiwf.net/champions/ AIWF Women's Title]] along the way. She took part in [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]]'s [=GutCheck=] Challenge for a chance to get on the roster, which she won. TNA assigned her to the developmental program at OVW, where she would feud with the Blossom Twins, Wrestling/TaelerHendrix and Lovely Lylah. She is a former 3x [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/ky/ovw/ovw-wm.html OVW Women's Champion]].
6	----
7	!! "Lei'D [=Tropa=]":
8	%%* AbhorrentAdmirer: White Kryptonite Eddie Diamond
9	%%* ActionGirl
10	* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: While Tapa wasn't nearly as successful on her brand, she was matched up against [[Wrestling/KiaStevens Awesome Kong]] during the GFW vs TNA 'feud'.
11	** Given that they are both female second-generation wrestlers of Polynesian descent, she inevitably drew comparisons to Wrestling/{{WWE}}'s Wrestling/TaminaSnuka, especially due to how her serving as Wrestling/GailKim's bodyguard resembled Tamina filling that same role for Wrestling/AJLee.
12	%%* AmazonianBeauty: Described this way at times by OVW's announcers.
13	* UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball: She was a middle linebacker and tight end for the Carolina Queens of the [[http://www.iwflsports.com International Women's Football League.]]
14	* ArchEnemy: (in OVW): The Blossoms, Taeler Hendrix, Trina; (in TNA): ODB.
15	* {{Badass\|Family}} WrestlingFamily: She's Wrestling/TheBarbarian's niece.
16	* BerserkButton: For a time in OVW, the [=Bodyguy=] has been making [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain sexist comments]] about how women don't belong in wrestling. On the November 30, 2013 episode, Tapa [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkRe3jzyIu8 responded and threatened]] to destroy [=Bodyguy=]. [=Bodyguy=]'s flunky [[AlliterativeName "Mister Marvelous" Melvin Maximus]] came down to the ring with a big Toys/TeddyBear, a [[ChocolateOfRomance box of candy]], and a poem that actually {{Subverted\|Trope}} RosesAreRedVioletsAreBlue.[[note]]It ended [[ToiletHumour "You smell like poo!"]][[/note]] Tapa grabbed Melvin by the throat until [=Bodyguy=] came down to the ring to tell her to stop. This led to them setting up a match for Tapa's OVW Women's Title between Tapa and [=Bodyguy=] for the ''Saturday Night Special'' on December 7th.
17	* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: The announcers for her OVW matches have often referenced how strong she is.
18	* CrowdChant: An unfortunate one, "She's a man!" during her Gutcheck tryout.
19	* DavidVersusGoliath: The Goliath who fell to Wrestling/IvelisseVelez in Gutcheck, though it was somewhat {{subverted\| trope}} as Tapa was chosen over Velez anyway, even thought the crowds made it clear they preferred Ivelisse. Then further subverted when Ivelisse came back during the Knockouts Knockdown show and got beat by Lei'D Tapa. Tapa was the Goliath again when she and Wrestling/GailKim split.
20	* FinishingMove: Tongan Death Grip into a Samoan Drop
21	* ForeignWrestlingHeel: {{Downplayed\| trope}}, both her and Alpha Female are German born and were a {{tag team}} in TNA, but only Alpha Female's "Germaness" was pronounced.
22	* TheGiant: Relatively. She's 5'11 and over 200 lbs.
23	* GimmickMatches: She took part in a four-way ladder match for the OVW Women's Title, which she lost.
24	** She ''did'' beat Trina and ODB in a non-title three-way-match, though.
25	* {{Heel}}: Initially. As the clip featured in BerserkButton above demonstrates, though, she seems to be getting the fans behind her in OVW.
26	** TheDragon: At ''TNA Bound for Glory 2013'', she helped Wrestling/GailKim retain the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/tna/tna-wm.html TNA Knockouts Title]] in her [[MeleeATrois three-way-match]] against ODB and Brooke Tessmacher. She now appears to be fulfilling this role on a regular basis.
27	* IAmSong: The opening lines of her OVW theme:
28	-->"I am Lei'D Tapa\
29	The Queen of Rings"
30	* IKnowKarate: She's [[http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/811884 undefeated]] in boxing.
31	** She's also had success in Jiu Jitsu.
32	* InsistentTerminology: In OVW, she said the ring was her "island."
33	* ItRunsInTheFamily: Her uncle was also a wrestler.
34	* KneelBeforeZod: "Bow down to Lei'D Tapa!"
35	* LadyInRed: As shown above, some of her Leotards of Power are red. However, she is portrayed as a big Amazonian ass-kicker, not a seductive Femme Fatale.
36	* LeotardOfPower: With the variation of some flapping frills.
37	* LetsYouAndHimFight: The Blossom Twins basically tried to make themselves invisible when she feuded with Epiphany, who they also had a poor relationship with.
38	* MaleGaze: Justified, as Eddie Diamond had a crush on her and took one of OVW's cameras.
39	%%* {{Red Baron}}ess: "The Queen of Rings"
40	%%* ScreamingWarrior
41	* UngratefulBastard: You'd think Tapa would be grateful when Eddie Diamond's girlfriend Epiphany came to put a stop to Eddie's pursuit of Tapa. Instead, she insulted both of them, invoking Epiphany's ire...after she was done with Diamond anyway.
42	* UnnecessaryRoughness: She got DQ'd for shoving the referee down while she was squashing Ray Lynn in OVW.
43	* WildHair: As opposed to the usual Polynesian afro
44	* [[WildSamoan Wild Tongan]]: Though she does wear shoes plus her Gutcheck video was at the very least coherent and non threatening.
45	** [[Wrestling/TheWildSamoans Afa]] does not count her or her uncle as part of the Samoan Dynasty though.
46	* WrestlingMonster: Described this way by OVW's announcers.
47	* XtremeKoolLetterz: Presumably a Tongan rendering of an English phrase. {{Punctuation shaker}}s aren't as noticeable with Tongan words...
