Mariko Tanahashi

A wrestling woman who is caring outside of the ring but a villain inside of it. Part of the El Palacio wrestling group

Personality
Mariko is a longtime member of the El Palacio wrestling league, having been there when it was a massive and successful organization, and remained even when they were reduced to 2 members and wrestling for a handful of people. They have risen to having 5 members, but the team still struggles to survive.

Mari is the head of the house at the building and gym where El Palacio's wrestlers reside. She handles most of the cooking, and is seen as something of a elder sister or mother figure to the others there. She is usually blithely pleasant, patient and considerate of others.

Mari's wrestling persona however is a villain called "Mari the Kid". While wrestling in this role, Mari is cruel, uninhibited and wild, tending to revel in chaos and violence. She is a wrestler of no mean skill, with either herself or Ouka being the strongest wrestler at El Palacio.

At 25 years of age, Mari is the oldest of the wrestlers in her home, and has something of a complex about her age. Inappropriate comments about this subject are one of the easiest ways for people to bring out the nastier side of her personality when she isn't wrestling.

Appearance
Mariko has long, blue hair which she wears up in a bun at home, but down while wrestling. While wrestling in her Mari the kid persona, she wears a skimpy "cowboy" outfit with a black hat. When in her "civilian" persona, she usually keeps her eyes narrowed, so that they often looked closed.
