[The lights all go out, sending the arena into blackness as "The Thing that Should not be" by Metallica blasts through the audio system in the arena as primordial storms flare to life on the videotron. The music is interrupted first by the screech of an owl and then by the roar of a dragon as a white and black owl swoops in front of the storms on the videotron followed by an Eastern Jade Dragon, a lone spot light shining down on two cloaked figures standing at the top of the entryway as the music continues. One cloaked figure steps behind the other, suggestively running hands up the first cloaked figures body before unfastening the cloak and letting it drop to the ground to show Hecate standing in black hot pants with a Jade Dragon wrapping around the her waist and a black halter top with a silvery white owl across her left breast, the Heartlands title proudly fastened around her waist. Hecate lifts her scepter up in the air before spinning around the second cloaked figure and repeating the suggestive running of her hands up the cloaked figures body before unfastening the cloak and letting it spill to the floor to reveal Jade standing there in a matching black hot pants and halter top, although on Jade the dragon is wrapped around her chest and the owl is one leg of the hot pants, pointed inwards with the Shoot title fastened proudly around her waist.]
[Hecate and Jade stand side by side, looking at each other and then Hecate starts down towards the ring, Jade standing at the entrance watching her before taking off in a run towards the ring, Hecate hopping up onto the ring apron and dropping into a split as Jade leaps up landing on Hecate's shoulders in a handstand before vaulting over the ropes as Hecate slithers under the ring ropes on her belly and rises up behind Jade, the two staring out at the crowd belly to back before rushing the corners and hopping up to the second turnbuckle and lifting their hands, bringing a surprising amount of cheers from the fans before hopping down and waiting for their opponents.]

Intro Video:
[The arena suddenly goes black as the opening cords of "Wytches" by Inkubus Sukkubus start to play through the arena while on the videotron images start to flash past; images of 3 candles, owls, black sheep, crossroads, 3 masks, 3 torches, groves of willow and yew trees, the images cycling through as the song plays. Suddenly as a single spot light shines down on a figure at the top of the entry ramp completely concealed by a full black cloak, who remains still for several moments as the song plays through the arena, then tosses the cloak off and lifting one hand to the sky holding a dark yew wood scepter. The figure is Hecate who is dressed in black hot pants with the image of a jade dragon wrapping around the waist band of the hot pants. Hecate also is wearing a matching black halter style crop top with a silvery white owl over her left breast. Her face paint is done up in black with a silver-white owl's head.]
In-Ring Match Preparation:
[Hecate slowly makes her way down to the ring, the single spot light following her as makes her way down towards the ring to a mixed reaction from the crowd, breaking out into a jog about ten feet from the ring and when she reaches the ring, jumps up and lands in a splits on the ring apron before bending over at the waist and sliding her head and torso under the bottom rope and slithering into the ring before rising to both knees where she mutters a prayer to her Goddess with her scepter raised high. As the lights slowly raise in luminance, Hecate rises to her feet and moves over to stand on the middle turnbuckle, lifting her scepter one more time to the mixed cheers and boos of the fans before hopping off the middle turnbuckle. Moving to her corner, Hecate pulls off the silver crescent moon shaped arm bands which encircle her upper arms, placing them in the corner with her scepter and follows up by pulling the golden dragon shaped bracelets from around her wrists, revealing the black leather straps which encircle her hands and forearms in place of normal athletic tape. The Greek warrior squats and stretches using the ring ropes, her thigh high black leather boots creaking a bit as she does and the silver owl and jade dragon on each boot moves as if it were almost alive while she waits for the match to start.]

Lunar Eclipse

Bio:
Hecate showed up in WMW at the side of Druscilla, rarely speaking about her past before she arrived in the WMW. When she does speak, she talks about the ancient times when more than just man walked the earth. She says that with Druscilla's help, she has found her ancient bloodline and will follow in their footsteps, bringing the power of the Gods to the mortal realm. What has been revealed about the Dark Priestess is that she has studied a number of different Martial Art styles and has worked to combine them well with wrestling and MMA style fighting.

Intro Music:
[A sound of lightning breaks out and the lights in the arena flash to simulate a lightning bolt. After a few seconds, the Videotron comes to life. On the video tron, Jade's name appears with a Chinese Character in the background. Then a great Easten Jade dragon is shown circling around a landscape, then lightning seems to come down and strike the stage in front of the entryway causing a burst of green, silver and gold pyro have the dragon lunge towards the camera with mouth open as a roar escapes it's mouth, echoing through the arena
After a few moments, Music from the Jade Dragon Concerto (Great Muta Concerto) plays over the PA and Jade seemingly walks through the pyro and flames of the Dragon, walking out in a determined, methodical pace before finally stopping in a fighting stance as her overcoat flutters in the air before displaying a flurry of punches and kicks, ending up with her making a few martial arts movement and clinching her fist as a final burst of pyro goes off behind her. She then narrows her eyes and runs down towards the ring, one foot barely touching the ground before lifting off and moving, her black overcoat fluttering around her Chinese style boots and black hot pants with a silvery white owl symbol on her hip, while her Black halter top bears the Jade Dragon wrapped around her right breast, the WMW Shoot Title around her waist.
In-Ring Match Preparation:

Bio:
Jade, or Rei-Lan as she is known to those who know the woman outside of the wrestler, was born in Lhasa, Tibet about 21 years ago and is actually half Tibetan, half Chinese, though she looks to be more Chinese, which is to be expected since her mother, a provincial Chinese government official, is obviously Chinese. Rei-Lan's connections actually raised her above the poverty line as she was selected from birth as a 'person of special talents and importance' and assigned to a dual program of athletic and diplomatic training. She has traveled all through Asia, including trips to North Korea, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Mongolia, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Myanmar, and a couple of trips to India and one trip to Iran.
As an athlete, Rei-Lan wanted for nothing as her housing, food, clothing, shelter, every need she had was picked up for by the Chinese government, she had her own medical team assigned to her and the other athletes from her area, and was trained vigorously to be a top notch gymnast and martial arts competitor. Her highlights in both areas include appearances in the Olympics where she won a silver medal in gymnastics, narrowing missing the gold to a fellow Chinese competitor and Martial Arts, where she won gold in Judo and Tai Kwon Do. In addition to those styles, she is very well versed in Kung Fu, and has won numerous martial arts tournaments all throughout Asia. She had accomplished all of this by the time she was 16 years old, having started competing as young as 14. There was a down side to all of this, though. Her vigorous and unrelenting schedule meant her body did not have as much time to recover and for every tournament she won, there was a tournament she could not compete in because she was hurt, or competed in at less then 100%.
The Chinese government, loved her and she quickly became a media darling. The state newspapers called her Rei-Lan, the Great Dragon of China, defender of Chinese culture against western imperialism. When she defeated an American in a martial arts competition to win the tournament, the government and the press ate it up and rewarded her handsomely. Then one day, something happened that would change Rei-Lan's life forever. She was in Japan, competing for a martial arts tournament when her and a few friends decided to check out a New Japan Wrestling show in Tokyo. She sat there, amazed by the performers, the death defying risks they took and the genuine joy and entertainment they provided. She found herself wishing she could do that. Then, fate gave her that little push. One of the wrestlers happened to notice her in her front row seat and walked over to her, talking to her and motioning the camera over.
Seconds later, Rei-Lan's face was on the big screen and the wrestler whispered in her ear. "Would you like in?" Rei-Lan shrugged and nodded and he smiled and went backstage. On her way out, after the show she was approached by the men running the promotion, who inquired about her interest once more. She affirmed it and they pulled out a contract detailing what she would be expected to do, how she would get involved, and how much she would be paid. She agreed to the terms and signed her name.
The next day, Jade returned as a 'fan.' This time, however, one of the women wrestlers came out and belittled Rei-Lan, calling her performances 'fixed' and 'propaganda' of an evil regime. She dared Rei-Lan to prove herself and Rei-Lan nodded, jumping over the barricade and into the ring. That one encounter changed everything. Rei-Lan felt the rush of the crowd, like nothing her previous tournaments had ever given her before and by the end of the match, she was hooked. She soon entered into talks with the company and, with the blessings of her country's government, who hoped for another area of dominance for their star athlete, she signed a long term contract with New Japan Wrestling. This gave rise to her combo of Japanese style of arial, fast moving, risk taking offence and her martial arts skills. This also saw several incarnations of her, including the fan favorite, and the heel who dressed in the communist military uniform of China and spouted off about how she was going to destroy the 'evil imperialists.'
Eventually, she left New Japan Pro Wrestling and made her way over to the United States, now being 21 years old, making her too old for most of China's uses for her, rapidly acquiring citizenship from a country hoping to lure her to perform for their athletic teams. She settled in Chicago and soon after she did, she heard about Wrestling Midwest. After watching one or two shows, she decided she liked it. She inquired about employment opportunities and was rapidly signed by Dress and STO management, who hoped she would help bring ratings to the company, and compliment the other talent on the roster.
