===Bio===
Elistara was born with naturally pale skin and pointed ears. As she grew up, many of the other kids picked on her for her appearance, and for being shorter then the other kids. She spent a lot of time alone, and began watching wrestling. She loved the competitiveness of the sport, and how the smaller wrestler could win if they had enough skill.
When she got a little older, she had a chance to read 'The Lady of Shallot' by Sir Alfred Lloyd Tennyson. She related to the Fae, and began to study them. It was though studying them she learned about Paganism, and immediately embraced both as a part of her.
As soon as she was old enough, she got a job in Harley’s bar as a ****tail waitress. She did this because growing up one of her all-time favorite wrestlers was KannabliztiK. She figured if she could learn from him, she would be unstoppable. During down times, and after the bar was closed she would beg the trainers to teach her moves. She had learned how to do many of them rather quickly, as she had been practicing them with her stuffed animals growing up. Naturally her skills needed refining. She was finally given a few exhibition matches, and started winning some of the matches. Eventually Harley himself got to see her in the ring, and made her dreams come true by offering her a contract.
Elistara's gimmick is that she is from Avalon, home of the Fae (faeries for those who do not know). She is the Lady of the Lake, which makes her the High Priestess. She is still proudly pagan, and is never without her pentacle.
Eventually Harley had to take time off for personal reasons. The vice GM of OCW, La Sombra reluctantly took over. He and Elistara had many personality clashes, which led to a falling out. While he was successful in leading OCW, it was not the OCW Elistara had joined. With a heavy heart she broke her contract.
One night drinking in a bar to drown her sorrows, The Silencer, the GM of the biggest and most successful federation Blood and Guts Wrestling, approached her. They shared a couple of drinks, and he seemed genuinely surprised she was without a contract, as he had offered her a beginning contract in BGW. She had said no, because Harley had already offered her one she had accepted. The Silencer accepted that, and they stayed friends, talking occasionally.
The Silencer offered her a contract, and after some minor negotiations, she quickly signed on the dotted line. She added in a few clauses, and after a bit more banter, and a few more drinks, they came to an agreement. Elistara made her debut on BGW on Tuesday Night Trauma on 4-8-2008.
Besides, her favorite wrestler of all time is Joe Bow. With everything she learned from KannabliztiK, she figured she could learn from Joe as well.
She hinted at not traveling alone, and her cryptic message was finally revealed. Two of the other three members of NGO joined BGW, as well as her Tag-Team partner President of PCS, and friend Ivy.
She tends to be nice to most outside the ring, but inside the ring unless she is tagging with someone, they are simply standing between her and the championship belt. After a childhood of exclusion and being bullied she overcompensates.
Elistara began traveling with Ivy, who is her coach in many ways, since she has so much more experience then she does. She has also washed the blue dye out of her hair, and stopped wearing the stage makeup that made her look much older. She has started having fun wrestling again, and their friendship has blossomed into love.
At the height of her career, Elistara disappeared without notice. She started missing fan appearances, as well as her matches. The Silencer had no choice but to fire her, and declare the Women's Title vacant.
Elistara made her return on Saturday Night Bloodbath (08-22-2009) after missing several seasons and revealed that she had long ignored several minor injuries that have forced her to retire. She said goodbye to BGW and the fans, and retired from the ring and spent a year in physical rehabilitation and doing physical therapy.
One day when she was relaxing at the home her and Ivy share, she received a call from her old friend Scorpy. He told her about a new fed that had recently started up, and that it could use some star power to get it off the ground. As BGW had closed it's doors forever, and after hearing about Glide signing with the fed, Elistara immediately hopped on a plane and signed up to start her wrestling career all over again.
