I look in the mirror. Who is this chick in a Chewbacca shirt, Tiamat tights, and an Overwatch necklace?
No. To hell with this. To hell with me.
I tear it all off. I need something I want to look at. Something that reflects how I feel.
This mild girl look is replaced with a thrashed off-shoulder, black nails, what feels like a thousand bracelets, cobweb tights, and some Chuck Taylor wrestling boots. But I can add something else. Maybe some badass make-up.
Gwen always used to get frustrated with me. Whenever she would learn about something's existence, she would instantly start researching it and just start spewing facts. Me? I just learned stuff and said 'cool.'
I don't know half the things she's probably forgotten. But what she said about that 'Antigone' thing stuck in my head. I actually did look it up and, yeah, its boring old Greek stuff. Why do we have to read old garbage? What relevance does Greek theatre even remotely have with pro wrestling?
So yeah. I went and looked it up. I didn't get it because it was, like, the third of a trilogy and I hadn't even heard of the first two. But you can't look up Ancient Greek stuff without coming across those stupid gods of theirs.
Only one of them stuck out to me. Persephone. Daughter of a harvest god, was snatched away to the Underworld, and became the Queen of Darkness. It said she was kidnapped, but being a teenage girl myself, I knew better. I think she ran away. She was done being the good girl her mom wanted. So she married the lord of the dead and became their queen.
That was something I could get behind. I’ll follow her example. I’m changing my whole look and attitude. I never really wore make-up before, but god bless YouTube tutorials. I won’t let the powers-that-be dictate who I am. I vow to no longer just be Faye Grimes.
So I uploaded a video. Link it to the school. Tell them all exactly who they’re dealing with now.
It was Faye Grimes who went down to the Underworld. But it is Faye Grimm who sits on the throne there now. For almost three years I have been who I was 'supposed' to be, but no more. I can't go back now. Faye Grimes is behind me. I am the best damn thing going. I am the fire and now I will control the blaze.
You people will not dictate who I am anymore. I will. I hold my forked tongue no longer. I am undefeated. I am your Technical Spectacle Champion. I am Faye Grimm, the Queen of Demons. If you can't get behind that, you will get left behind. And everyone back there will burn.
