Physical Description (optional)
Wrestling Information:
Wrestling Style: Technical/High Flyer
Alignment: Heel
PERSONALITY/GIMMICK: Melanie used to be kind hearted and warm. After her experience with Nero she is now extremely cold. She doesn't believe emotions are necessary. In fact, she believes emotions make you weak. She is calculated and callous.
STRENGTHS: She is excellent at mixing it up between high flying and technical wrestling. She can switch her strategies between the two at the drop of a hat, even mid-match if the situation calls for it. The fact that she is quite good at both styles makes her very dangerous. Melanie believes emotions make you weak and she takes that to heart; she does not lose her temper easily and that is also an advantage as she remains calm even in the most strenuous of situations.
WEAKNESSES: She's short and that makes her vulnerable to a power based attack.

Biography:
Stan Lee McBride Sr. and Diane McBride had three children; Stan Lee McBride Jr., Blaire McBride, and Melanie McBride. Later on they also adopted Karen Leonard, later becoming Karen McBride. Melanie was always the youngest of the four children and, for most of her life, she was picked on by Stan Jr. and Blaire because she, unlike them, did not care about inheriting the family business. Melanie always wanted to seek out thrills and enjoyment in life. Being a businessperson was not her idea of a good time. Thus she sold her inherited share of McBride Incorporated to the only person who had been a true friend; Karen McBride.
Melanie is very kind-hearted, warm, and caring; the exact opposite of her older brother and sister Stan Lee Jr. and Blaire. Even though she may not be blood related to Karen, she connects more and relates more to her because she sees Karen's "hidden self", she sees the kind, caring, Karen McBride that Karen keeps hidden from the rest of the world. Melanie and Karen thus stick together and are very close. Karen, though, is very protective of Melanie. If Karen sees that Melanie is threatened she will instinctively drop her facade of being this rich and powerful cold hearted bitch and switch into her natural state, that of a street-smart grizzly bear ready to defend her cub.
Blaire eventually had a change of heart and, after years of bullying, made peace with her sister Melanie. Now Melanie, Blaire, and Karen are united in their attempt to change wrestling for the better and Melanie hopes to do her part by becoming a wrestler herself. Karen, being as protective as she is, did not want Melanie to become a wrestler, fearing she’d get hurt. But Melanie insisted that this was what she wanted to do with her life, that this was the thrill and enjoyment she had been seeking after for so long.
Melanie started wrestling in Cartel:NextGen where she became Chameleon Champion. Eventually C:NG shut down and now Melanie finds herself in Global Championship Wrestling. There she plateaued, until she started to be harassed by the mysterious individual known as Nero and his "Valkyrie" Skuld. Melanie refused to back down and eventually found out the masked Skuld was actually Sierra Michaels, who at first was forced into slavery due to having her GCW contract sold to Nero. Eventually Sierra was brainwashed into obeying Nero willingly. Nero wanted Melanie as well and promised he would quit harassing and attacking Melanie if she put her contract on the line. Melanie was brave enough to do so but lost the match and found herself in the same position as Sierra, serving Nero.
Nero renamed her Skogul and as Skogul, she obediently served Nero as his Valkyrie. Melanie became more and more brainwashed as she learned that she was his most prized possession, not Skuld. Skuld did not take kindly to this and left the group. Nero, able to put his entire focus on Melanie, molded and twisted her mind until she finally changed...
...she evolved, as she put it, into the new creature she is today. She now longer dons the mask and no longer answers to Skogul. Once again she is Melanie McBride but she is a new Melanie McBride, one fashioned in the image of Nero.
