A few weeks ago on DeviantArt, Lora Innes tagged me with an OC Meme that asked for 8 facts about Brooke. I posted it there, but I thought there’s a lot of readers here that would find these facts about Brooke interesting.
8 Facts About Brooke
1. Brooke is originally from Sydney, Australia and was there until she was 16 years old.
2. Brooke’s Dad remarried and moved Brooke and her new family to the States. Brooke has a new step-mother and two step-sisters. Brooke is not close to any of them.
3. Brooke originally tried out for an independent wrestling promotion in California as a model and was offered a spot in their training academy under the wrestling guidance of Hazzard and Ultravixen.
4. Brooke’s training lasted 15 months before she ‘convinced’ Hazzard that she was ready for the big leagues of Rival Angels.
5. Brooke watches her figure and hates sweets. Except for chocolate. And fruit pies. And the occasional splurge of marshmallow pie for a job well done.
6. Brooke’s newer ‘Aphrodite’ outfit was based on Sabrina’s older wrestling outfit.
7. Brooke is allergic to nuts and dander. She’s never had a pet or chocolate almonds.
8. Brooke was a C cup before getting breast implants. She saved up half of the money on her own and borrowed the rest from her Dad.
Just curious… how long ago did she move here and how much of her accent does she have?
She moved to America six years ago and her accent is most noticeable when she’s Aphrodite though I’m starting to work some more of it in. Er, I mean she’s starting to work her accent in more. XD
just an add though..
4.1: ‘Convicted’ Hazzard that she was ready.. after Brooke blumpkin Hazzard..
🙂
Daddy’s girls… Brooke.. lolz
“Implants?!” Suddenly slightly less interested in Brooke… 😛
To get a grip on accents, I suggest you try reading some science fiction author Ted Sturgeon’s books and stories, Alan. He never had to resort to the “comic book” style of writing accents. His book Godbody http://www.amazon.com/Godbody-Theodore-Sturgeon/dp/0917657616
is probably the best example how to do it.

Thanks Coel. I’m torn on what to do with accents because a person speaking in an accent doesn’t, for instance, write what they say in the accent. They write a word same as you and I. They don’t write it how they say it. BUT, I think I may have a way around it and I’m hoping to play it up a bit more in Season 2.
That’s the point about Godbody. Every chapter is written from the perspective of a different character in their own voice. And speaking from cyber-wrestling experience, some people can and do write what they say in their ‘accent’:
The Mighty Haggis: “I shall stomp on all those who oppose me. The stomping shall be swift, the stomping shall be painful, and I shall show no mercy in all my stomping. Amen. ” (from Lunch Money by Atlas Games) I give my opponent a smirk and the Italian salute before going into my corner to stretch and limber up while waiting for the opening bell to ring… yt
Valerie Moretti: GOOONG!
The Mighty Haggis: (Notices that the bell has a French accent this evening)
Valerie Moretti: lol

I’ll check out Godbody. Maybe they even have it as an audiobook…!
