Meet the Team Below the Cut!

🩵ROBIN: The team's trusted commentator. Full of life and pep and plenty of sass! But he's always there to keep the work running smoothly! ☀️SEFI: Robin's strong and loving wife! Often the one doing all the heavy lifting behind the scenes, but don't let it deter you; she is very friendly! 🍎RUBY: WVBA's little country belle! She's as sweet as apple pie and loves to chatter! Friendly and sociable, though can be a bit in your face. 🧪SONYA: The head of the WVBA's Med staff may be ethically questionable, but she'll get you patched up just fine all the same! 🎶JAZZY: A Boxer and Commentator, one of the older acts in the game, this witty soul is always ready to take the stage whenever you need him to! 🌴API: Another heavy lifter behind the scenes who does plenty of work maintaining and keeping the ring in top-notch condition for every match! ☘️ELOUAN: The calm and chilled Camera person, they keep up with all the action both inside and outside the ring! 🌼DAISY: One half of the WVBA's receptionist team, this sweet flower loves to decorate her side with...well, flowers! A gentle, albeit shy soul, but whose nose is in every bit of gossip you can think of. 💫STARR: Behind every champion is a strong woman, and this one is riding behind her husband, Mr Sandman. The WVBA manager and the commissioner's assistant, Desire, keep everything running like a machine! 🔥ROXY: The other half of the receptionist team, this fiery-looking chick is actually quite cool; just be careful what you tell her; it can and WILL be used against you. 🍄SHORTY: A nickname given to them for fun, they're the WVBA's reliable janitor. Very quiet, but catch them at the right time, and you can find yourself in quite the conversation! ☕️DEAN: Former barista, this whizz-kid is the speedy ringside assistant, grabbing whatever he can, whenever he can, for the big boys in the ring! Just be careful, though; this kid may be scrawny, but he knows how to fight!

((Mod Suki here! Hey guys! Thanks for tuning back into this! I'm glad to repost these guys finally. I can't say if picture asks will be answered frequently (with Uni and what not), but hopefully, I can get some more lengthy ones out for you because you'll deserve it! Thank you all for being patient with me, I hope to see you guys dropping into the inbox soon! Ka Kite!!)

Can you tell us more of the woman’s division fighters

💫: "There is a lot to know about the ladies, too much that would suffice for one answer post. But as their temp manager, we have a LOT of fun characters with some fun little secrets:

TJ Storm is actually related to one of the Golden Era boxers, but we've been told to keep that on the down low

Same as that, Mama Belle is allegedly dating one of the newer Branch B boxers! Small world...

Rosa Mariposa is said to have gotten involved in boxing through an alias of Don Flameno

Barbella Bambina and Louella Swansong are dating, that's not even a secret though, they're very public about it

Little Junebug, sweet girl she is, has her eyes on another champ!

And, ofc, no one can ignore the allegations around Becky, AKA Mane Event. She was called that for her hair, but it had to be cut off when it got singed. She's at the center of a LOT of controversy, but she is slowly working to turn it around.

So yeah, just like our big boys, our girls have got a lot of stories to tell! Fun ones too, happy to do some interviews with them if ever you wanted!

*A strange green-haired girl wearing a thick black hoodie slips into the room, a toothy grin spread across her mouth.*

There's gonna be some pretty big changes soon... Keep an eye out.

*She peers over at Ruby, though her eyes are covered by a thick green fringe.*

Your fiance... He's not here at the moment. But give it a second. He'll be back. With a MUCH needed wardrobe update.

*As mysteriously as she appeared, she vanishes into thin air...*

☕️: "...Freaky lil thing, what the heck?" 🩵: "Eh, you get used to it, but hey look at that! Gangs comin' back!" 🎶: "Will be fun to see your mate, Treble, hm?" 🩵: "Shush, between you and Sefi, I'll never hear the end of that" 🎶: Haha! How exciting indeed, can't wait to see them, aye Rubes?" ----

🩵:"...Ruby?" (both look over to see her on her phone)

🍎: "I haven't heard from him in...I'm sorry, I gotta go..." 🩵:" *sighs*, Well, we'll see you soon gang, wherever you are..."

[wvba-ringside-gossip]

How do you deal with Her and Aran in the same room (They hate eachother for reference)

🔥: "Two words, sugar...Bald Bull" 🍄: "He's Aran's kryptonite, pretty much one of the few that can get Aran to settle down just by looking at him..." 🔥: "Mmhm! I reckon if ever your fancy lass was in the room with that ratbag, Bull would set them both straight" 🍄: "He does that with a few people" 🔥: "Yep! Even me!" 🍄: "I don't think you should be proud of that but...okay?"

[wvba-ringside-gossip]

Wait who is Alice a sister too

🩵: "Would be our dear Narcis Prince. He moved to New York with her in his custody after their parents gave him the boot for choosing to pursue sports, or something rather dumb, I don't know..."

🩵: "This is a picture of them in New York, bless their hearts. Alice is a young prodigy with mechanical marvels beyond her years, but she's a little...socially awkward, so Narcis is rather protective of her. He may look like a snob, and...he is, but one can't say he doesn't care about the ones he loves..."

[wvba-ringside-gossip]

Does the wvba have a woman’s division and why was donkey Kong (a ape that can punch down the moon) able to compete

🍎: "We sure do! Was started last year as an initiative to get more women fighters recognised and involved in the sport! We're just as surprised as everyone else to even realise how many women there were IN boxing!" ☀️: "But we're all happy for it! And, of course, only the best of the best get into the WVBA's rankings! And we got quite the list! Here, check it out!"

🍎: "Ain't it awesome!? More girlies to hang out and talk to!" ☀️: "We were DEFINITELY lacking in that department, aye, Rubes?" 🍎: "Oh for sure, too many guys" 🩵: "Hey!"

[wvba-ringside-gossip]

(are ocs allowed?) why is she allowed to Bring her Moth tho?

💫: "One of our GREATS is notorious for bringing in animals! As long as they're not actively assisting in fights like attacking the opponent, they're allowed! And I can see a Moth not being too much of an issue as a bear or a maniac squirrel..."

[wvba-ringside-gossip]

So I saw some other contestants for an arm wrestling thing bald bull was apart of. Would any other contestants be able to participate in the wvba? I’m really interested in Alice and ape3 since a robot boxer would be awesome. Like in real steel

☕️: "Well, Alice doesn't really count as she is 10 and she has no boxing experience, plus getting a child her age to compete competitively against adults, even WITH a robot, is all types of: not happenin'" ☀️: "Oh, but she does come around a lot! She is such a sweetheart, following her big brother around all the time!" 🎶: "I think it's unlikely any of the arm wrestling folks would partake in boxin', as fun as it does sound!" ☀️: "Ooh, yes, as a trainer, it is not an easy sport, and there are lots of conditions and rules! And simply being an arm wrestler and 'being strong' doesn't constitute being able to partake in boxing..." 🎶: "Maybe with more training, we could see the likes of Texas Mac in here, but I reckon it'll be a while until we get there, hm?"

[wvba-ringside-gossip]

Why does the wvba allow doping with soda popinski

💫 "Oh, honey, we absolutely do NOT allow it! All our boxers go through professional testing to make sure they're fit for the ring. Any who fail it will be suspended for up to 3 months, and that's the minimum" 🍎 "It's easy for everyone to assume Popinsky gets doped with how he acts in the ring, but most of us can chalk it up to that being the character he portrays! We all know he's really just a goofball!"

🍎"We would never let him in if we suspected it, but the majority of the time! He's A-Okay! It's standard practice for all of the boxers here!"

[wvba-ringside-gossip]

Hi everyone! It's me, Kawaguchi!

Sorry for being so quiet, I've just been so busy with my career and such! Speaking of which, I may have had a little career switch. Boxing was great and I met so many fun and interesting people, but now I have a new passion; music! I joined a band, called The Devil in Heaven. I'm their Rhythm Guitarist, but I do write music too! Here, I have a picture of me and the band!

They're all a bunch of fun, if a little crazy, but aren't we all! I've been missing you all, but maybe one of these days we can get together and have some more fun! My uncle Peter, our manager, even said I could invite you to one of our concerts if I wanted to! Of course it's metal so I understand if you might not want to, but it'd still be fun to see you! Anyway, glad I got the chance to say hi, but I've gotta get going! Hope to meet up again soon! See you all later!

With Love,

Tadashi Kawaguchi-Hammersmith

🍎: "KAWA! DARLIN' HI! Oh gosh, it's been too long! I'm sad we're gonna see you go, but I hope life in the band is treating you well, and Of course! We'd love to come along, right gang?"

🌴: "Oh you know I wouldn't miss out on catchin' up! Maybe we can hear ya at one of your gigs!" 🌼: "I don't believe we met but I could never turn down a chance to say elo to some new friends and learn some new gossip!" 🩵: "Girl, I could never say no to you! You gave me my new look for crying out loud! I'd be an idiot not to come support! and Please do come by to see us, we miss you so" ☕️: "HELL YEAH!! LET'S GO! SECOND YOUR GANG IS SET YOU LET ME KNOW AND WE WILL BE THERE!!"

[wvba-ringside-gossip]

Who's most likely to piss off Bald Bull?

🍎: "I-Its probably me, I'm a bit TOO cheerful, which is both blessing and a curse. I think he finds me a bit too "in your face", ya know?"

☕️: "Nah, it's definitely me, I know all of his weaknesses and what makes him tick. It's funny to see him get mad and then lead him charging right into Aran..."

🔥: "Well, I can tell you this, I'm definitely NOT his favourite..."

[wvba-ringside-gossip]

*A fiery Scottish lass with a burn on her face slides on in with a lopsided grin* "Aye, speedy boy, didja know we've got a new line-up o' lads in our bunch? Heard one o' them is also a barista. Seen 'im swingin' around? Goes by Jacq outside the ring I think. Also, congrats on th' wee lassies, Robbie!" *she bolts off elsewhere*

☕️: Heya! Boy this has been sitting here for a while, heh

Ahem, Yes I have seen him around. Heard there's a new bracket starting up some way aways and he's in it. Quite the heart throb from what I can tell but I haven't had proper interactions with him yet.

Good gossip in the Cafe though is that he's dating some figure skater boy, which, hey, go for it bro, it's kinda cute...

Who knows maybe I will! Good to see you're in better spirits...ish too, Phoenix, nice to see ya

💙: AND THANK YOU!! IT MEANS A LOT!!

[wvba-ringside-gossip]

I found you, in the wild.

☕️: It ain't that we aren't appreciative of visitors and the like but...ya gotta see how this is a weird comment to get, right?

[wvba-ringside-gossip]

May we hear some wise words from Shorty?

🍄: Well, gosh...uh okay lets see...hmm.. Ah! Got some!

"Plant yourself a garden, so even if you feel like you've fallen down hard, and feel like you can't go anywhere, you can look back at the beauty and life you've given, at little beings who have grown because of YOUR care...So if ever think you haven't given back to the world, that your work is unappreciated...look back at that garden and you'll know it wasn't wasted at all..."

Technical Difficulties!

@anotherwvba

🎶: Aw jeez, sorry about the hold up, bucko! We had a bit of technical difficulties when answering your ask! Rest assured me and Robin-

🩵: You mean ONLY Robin?

🎶: Uh, hehe...yeah..well, we're trying to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. So Apologies on that front! But to answer your question, I love working with the Atlanta Campus. It's nice to get some extra commentary work in every now and again! And, of course, the wonderful young ladies in the Women's Circuit are absolute show-stoppers regarding their skills and performances! If I had to say who I like the most, they're all very talented, but Gemma Golden stands out to me in a way I don't think many others do. I-I mean, they're all wonderful! But Gemma has this bold, confidence about her that really makes her such a great opponent. But that is just my opinion, after all. All in all, the girls are lovely and the extra work from doing commentary in Atlanta is fun! Hope I can get more opportunities like this in the future!

[wvba-ringside-gossip]

Soooo, a little birdie told me that Ruby has been engaged now? Care to talk about it? Hehehehe~ *slinks off in a totally not suspicious way*

🍎"Aww, shucks, hehe...Y-yeah, we've been engaged for a while now! Me and Jacob are still trying to get the dates and details finalized, and trying to find people for all the jobs, sort out invites, music, and, of course, food! Can't ever have too much of that! Hehe!" ⚙️"An' we all know me lil gem will want all the food possible!" 🍎"H-Hey! It ain't my fault I was brought up to love food! I know how to enjoy mahself!" ⚙️"Hmhm! Ya sure do, missy" *smooch* 🍄*walks in and stares* "...really?...in front of my coffee?"

[wvba-ringside-gossip]

Hello again! How is everyone doing?

💫: "We've been going nice and steady; thanks, hun! I'll admit, going into this blog thing, I wasn't TOO sure about it. I thought it sounded a bit…invasive… but Ruby managed to finally talk me into it, and well...here I am! We've all being going through a LOT of changes, Robin and Sefi having their two GORGEOUS babies, Anna-Ruby and Talia, and Jazzy's been going around and doing some commentary at other matches across the nation! Ruby got a little development in her relationship, a very exciting one I may add! And Elouan and Api have just gotten together as well! Though I knew it was only eventual. The only one who hasn't really gotten any big developments and changes is Sonya, and the rest of us have just been going smoothly, leading our own lives, I'm busy being a mom, a wife AND managing a whole load of giant, half-naked boxing men, haha!"
