Skylar, or "the Skyscraper" if you're inclined towards her stage name, had a troubled past before her rise to fame in the ring. Born in an unremarkable middle class family with little in terms of ambition or wealth, Skylar was always a spirited woman with a drive to do better, to rise higher. Though her grades in school were never good, Skylar excelled in sports, always standing tall and proud as either the best athlete in the room, or just a step short of that. Her willpower and strength were remarkable, infectious even, spending her days stoking the flames of youth, always a smile on her tomboyish face.

That is, until her father, a kind man that never denied Skylar what she needed, passed away during her adolescence.

Her soul-shattered by the loss of someone so close to her, Skylar's youth seemed to be drained from her as she grew less content, less colorful like she was before. Her passion for sports waned as she was forced into working a job to help her mother and her two brothers to survive, and even refused the chance to lead a promising career in volleyball in order to slog her way through college and get herself a bachelor's degree in finance. Thus, at the ripe young adulthood, Skylar was already trapped in a cubicle, adding numbers together by pressing tiny keys in a keyboard and handling Excel spreadsheets. Her biggest joy in this little dark age, was the moment the clock hit 5 o'clock, for Skylar had the daily ritual of going down to the local bar and drowning herself in her favorite whiskey.

That is, until she stumbled upon a friend of her father's in that same bar. Pleasantries, remembrances, and some jokes about her father only Skylar would understand and reminisce about, and she got to know that the man worked as a marketing manager for wrestlers. Drunk after a good few rounds, the man jokingly offered Skylar an interview to become a wrestler too, recalling how athletic and captivating she could be when competing against her friends during youth. And, drunk as she was after more rounds than him, she accepted, figuring it was a good way to use an accumulated break day she never planned on cashing in.

As one knows, the eye for talent comes out only when you're drunk, because the manager was absolutely impressed with Skylar's performance. She was always more on the bulky side, so all it took was some basic instructions on how to act within the ring, and Skylar picked it up and went to town with it. Her flair, her technique, and more simply the way she laughed, taunted, and caught your attention when she fought was stunning to see, all with that underline of joy, of genuine enjoyment to finally return to her passion in pure, physical movement. She was approved and hired on the spot, quitting the boring old job at the cubicle farm to finally relive the youthful days of her childhood.

And live, she did, for getting into wrestling and leaving the spreadsheets and numbers and papers behind did her soul more good than anything else in her life. For the first time in years, Skylar felt alive, taking and delivering hits in stride as she acquainted herself with the push and pull of the ring and the crowd that surrounded it. How to play for the people, feel their cheers reverberate through her chest and clamor back to earn their hearts and eyes. How to fight, to throw, to hit, to entertain and be entertained, and to revel in the simple joys of the ring as well as life itself. Joys that her fans and haters all felt in their bones, giving Skylar a meteoric rise to prominence as a wrestler in the WWE circuit, becoming one with her Skyscraper persona as more and more fans got to know about her.

Destiny, however, had other plans than to allow Skylar to continue her career. At the height of this metamorphosis from office worker to WWE star, would the woman's soul be transposed into the foreign body of one Xestris. Though their build were similar and practices adjacent, to find herself in the body of a martial arts master and powerful disciple of the Fellowship of the Fools, Xestris, was a surprise that Skylar did not expect...

...But welcome in full. She does not understand the situation she is in, nor does she get the implications it might impose on so many aspects of her and Xestris' life. But Skylar is determined to make the most of it, just as she had done to the world of wrestling before this.
