ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION:
An atmospheric orchestra kicks in, setting the tone as the lights dim down. Around the 14 second mark, the music suddenly halts as the lights completely cut off in the arena. We then hear words shouted in Gaia Galanos' voice across the speaker system:
[i][b][center][font=times new roman]"THIS IS SPARTAAA!"[/font][/center][/b][/i]
From there an almost blindingly bright light suddenly comes on from the entrance tunnel as a strong female form appears at the top of the entrance stage as the crowd erupts into cheers. As the orchestra kicks back in with fast and atmospheric music, red lights scan the arena frantically as the bright lights kick off and a spotlight shines down upon the rather intense-looking greek fighter, Gaia Galanos.
Announcer: Making her way to the ring, weighing in tonight at 185 pounds...
As she makes her way down the ramp, various fans from the crowd on either side of the barricade reach out to get high fives, but only a select few actually receive them as she nonchalantly reaches a hand out very occasionally.
Announcer: Hailing from Sparta, Greece...
When she reaches the ring steps, she jogs up them then walks across the apron, about a quarter of the way across, she turns around, grabbing the top rope with her left hand and looks out toward the audience while walking backwards and garnering a HUGE ovation from the crowd.
Announcer: This is the UWL World Champion, GAIAAAAAAA GAAAAALAAAAANOOOOOOOS!
As she gets about 3/4 of the way across the ring, she steps through the ropes and makes a beeline for the far turnbuckle. With a fire in her eyes, she pulls herself up onto the turnbuckle and raises her arms up much to the approval of the crowd. Once she lowers her hands, she looks around at the audience for a short moment prior to dropping down from the turnbuckle while turning. As she takes her corner, she clasps her hands together and begins spinning her wrists to loosen up while awaiting the beginning of the match as her music fades out and the atmosphere returns to normal...

BACKSTORY/EXPERIENCE:
Throughout Gaia's first year of professional wrestling, she joined a group which would later be dubbed the Goddesses of Dominance with Valkyrie and Isis, double-crossing Larissa Johnson and Anya Boyle, collectively known as Fire & Ice, in the process. After sending those two on their way, Gaia found herself on a tear throughout GPW and UWL. She first made her appearance in UWL when she attacked Anne Brandeis after she was victorious over GPW's own General Manager, Jacqui Monroe.
The feud between the two continued to heat up as Gaia continued to catch Brandeis off-guard with assault after assault. Brandeis even was able to get in her own shot by costing Gaia a match against her friend, Red West. Finally, a match was officially set at UWL Bedlam on the Bayou pitting Gaia against Anne Brandeis. That wasn't all though, the match's stakes were raised when Mr. Hill, UWL's owner, proclaimed that the match between the two would be for the UWL World Championship. Upon winning the match, Gaia and Anne Brandeis were far from finished because there would be one more match between the two with the title on the line once more. The women ended up agreeing to a Submission Match which Gaia won after an epic match between the two technicians.
As of late, Gaia has been on a tear, especially after another successful title defense against The Harlequin at UWL Ascension. She made a huge statement when she showed up during a Detonation broadcast and challenged the GPW World Champion, Jo McFarlane. The next night she went on to dismantle Molly Cyrus, but ultimately, the challenge was accepted and the match was made, pitting Gaia against Jo in a non-title match-up. During the match, Gaia showed she could definitely hang with GPW World Champion and even had the match within her grasp when suddenly her GOD comrades turned on her. When it seemed as though Jo McFarlane was going to make the save, she, in perhaps the biggest surprise of the year, Jo attacked Gaia effectively turning her back on the world. Oh, we probably should mention that Nick Bakas had a hand in this as well... and she isn't happy with him at all. Now, Gaia Galanos finds herself headed into a tag team match without a partner. After having searched the locker room, it seems as though she hasn't been able to find a suitable partner and it seems almost inevitable that this tag team match against Valkyrie and Isis will become a handicap match instead.
