>Did you know that Zuni was my first real opponent, first real feud when I joined the WWA. And do you know what she did to gain my attention?Maria leans in, hugging her own knees.
>She started to maul those close to me, until we locked horns not once, twice, but thrice. Sure, she got the better of me in the end. But I consider her a friend in the company now.>Did you know that when I was preparing for my match against Nyx, carreer on the line, it was Zuni that I sought out for training.>It was because she absolutely kicked my ass.

She respects those who can stand up for themselves.>So consider the position you're in. You're in the WWA. Peak of the company. See the struggles you've already gone through to get here. Were you not ready for a match, the trainers would have never signed off on your debut match.Her hands squeezed into Paule's cheeks, looking deep into her eyes.
