Brief Character Bio: Aurora Diamond Quinn was born in Long Beach, California to Ian and Lorena Quinn (née Ibarra). She is the youngest of three children, with two older brothers, Leander and Orion. She is of Spanish and Irish heritage, and occasionally speaks Spanish if the mood strikes her.
As the only girl, her father tried to mold her into the perfect little princess, but Aurora would have none of it. Despite her father’s many attempts to curb her tomboyish tendencies, Aurora was determined to keep up with her brothers. She did, however, take up gymnastics, in the hopes of improving her flexibility. There was one so-called “masculine” hobby that Aurora’s father was more than happy to share with her, since her brothers showed no interest – classic cars. She learned the ins and outs of auto repair, and quickly developed an affinity for restoring vintage cars to near off-the-assembly-line perfection.
At the age of 13, after her brothers formed their own backyard wrestling club, Aurora took the first step on what would eventually become her lifelong dream, showing them up (and in one case, outright embarrassing one of the boys) with her own natural abilities. She even went so far as to blackmail her brothers into letting her participate, or else she’d rat them out to their father.
Aside from backyard wrestling, Aurora’s defiant nature caused her to constantly rebel against her father’s edicts, to the point where her parents enrolled her into a private Catholic school during her freshman year of high school. This lasted only two weeks before she was expelled, spending the remainder of her high school career at Long Beach Polytechnic High School. An attempt to join the school’s wrestling team was met with laughter from the head coach. The head coach later resigned after she challenged him to an exhibition match… and broke a record for the fastest pin in the history of the school.
Working retail during her teenage years, she saved up to buy her first motorcycle at the age of 18, a 2012 Harley-Davidson Super Glide Custom, but shortly after her birthday, a final argument with her father pushed her toward an ill-advised (and ill-fated) elopement with one of her classmates, a fellow Senior named Jered Knight. This led to four years of self-imposed exile from her family, punctuated by physical abuse by her alcoholic husband. During that time, her only comfort came in the form of an Abyssinian cat she named Selina.
There was one silver lining – now free from her father’s rules, Aurora could finally begin formal training to become a professional wrestler. She would begin training under a small-time promoter named Logan Zanelli, jumping from one territory to the next, never lingering under one banner for any length of time, lest someone eventually discover the real reason as to why Aurora was never seen without wrist bands and wide-banded chokers.
In April of 2016, things with Jered reached a boiling point, and after a physical altercation, Aurora made her escape, packing little more than the clothes on her back and whatever she could fit into the saddlebags of her bike (along with her cat), she left her abusive husband, serving him with divorce papers soon after. An anonymous benefactor – later revealed to be Alicia Perry – provided her with the means to take her skills as a professional wrestler to the next level, which would eventually lead to her crossing paths with Damon Graves. Despite less-than-friendly initial interactions on social media, chemistry between the two became evident during their debut in a Battle Royale, and they quickly began to take the NGW tag team division by storm. Aurora and Damon’s relationship quickly transitioned from professional to personal, and Damon would even be responsible for reuniting Aurora with her estranged father, the latter having presented Damon with the ruby engagement ring used to propose to Aurora’s mother. Aurora and Damon were later married on Halloween of 2016.
While continuing their career in NGW (in its various incarnations), a concurrent signing to #FSociety Wrestling led to them being crowned the inaugural #FSociety Tag Team Champions, eventually losing the titles to Daisy Locke and Sarah Keyes. During their rookie year alone, Aurora and Damon won four of eventually five tag team titles, with their fifth – and final NGW reign – lasting until the company’s closure in 2018.
For the next couple of years, Aurora and Damon focused their efforts on the homefront, bonding with their adopted daughter Ysera and tending to their business ventures outside of wrestling – Damon as a tattoo artist and Aurora as a body piercer. Aurora also had time to engage in her favorite childhood hobby; among her favorite projects is the 1968 Mercury Cougar she presented Damon for his most recent birthday.
Despite everything the Graveses had to keep them busy, the urge to get back into the ring managed to grow from that small voice in the back of their minds to a roar too loud for them to ignore, and at the end of 2020, they began to search for a new place to ply their trade. This led to a tenure in One Wrestle Movement, where they added two more Tag Team Championships to their résumés. After taking time off to await the birth of their daughter Kyrie (born via surrogate), Aurora and Damon decided it was time to get back to business, only this time, Aurora seeks out the one thing that has eluded her throughout her entire career… a singles championship run.
And so, she begins again.

Please give a brief entrance: The stage floods with blood red light as the intro to “Roots” begins to play over the sound system. The music pauses as the lights suddenly go out. As the music kicks back in, a blast of red pyro explodes from the ceiling as Aurora emerges on the stage, standing on the top of the entrance ramp and red spotlights scan the entire arena. As strobe lights flash, she then makes her way down the ramp, then climbs up the ring steps onto the apron. She then stands facing the outside of the ring, places one foot on the bottom rope, grabs the top rope and backflips into the ring as the house lights come back on. She moves to her corner of the ring, getting in a few last minute stretches as she waits for the match to begin.
