Nastassja Han

Nastassja's wrestling career began fairly early in her life. She had always been a wrestling fan growing up, and planned on getting involved with the industry from a young age. During the later years of her education, she managed to join her school's wrestling team, and had a fairly impressive win rate, impressive enough that she drew the attention of a notable Russian wrestling school, the Alexei Drago Wrestling Academy, affectionately known by it's students as the Dragon's Dungeon. She spent a year here training, working her butt off to leave the ins and outs of wrestling, learning from the best teachers the school had and sparring with the top students of the academy. She learned fast, and she learned hard, and by the time she left the school, she was ready for the big leagues. Or so, she thought. The young Nastassja, while skilled in the ring, didn't realize the uphill battle it would take to really make it in the wrestling world. Though she had trained in the Dragon's Dungeon, she had trouble finding a wrestling promotion in Russia that would take her in and sign her up. Her life was hard for many months, Nastassja giving it her all to try and find a place to wrestle, somewhere, anywhere. It wasn't until she left the country and moved to Japan that her big break finally came. She learned of a new wrestling promotion that was just starting up, the Wrestle Angels promotion, and was looking for both new and experienced female talent. After a few try-out matches to show the company owners what she could do, she was given a contract, for the company, and had finally found a place to do what she loved best. She spent several years with the Wrestle Angels, as a solid, upper-midcard talent. Nastassja made several runs at titles, but she could never go all the way, she could never earn the gold she so desperately wanted, thinking that a title would prove herself as a real, true wrestler. Eventually, her dreams of gold began to fade, and she grew content with her place in the company. She was fairly popular, and always did her best to put on the best damn show she could. She grew older, and wiser, and more skilled in the ring. She was happy, and she was doing what she enjoyed. But then, the bad news came. The Wrestle Angels would be shutting down, closing their doors for good. The company just wasn't drawing in enough money to keep themselves open. Nastassja was heartbroken at the news, and when the company finally closed down, she was one of the last people to leave their arena, hardly believing that it had happened. With no other choices before her, she went back to Russia, ready to try and start her life over back in her motherland. Several months later, however, Nastassja received an invitation in the mail, to return to Japan and join a newer wrestling promotion that was doing damn well for itself. Intrigued by the offer and with little to lose, Nastassja returned to Japan, where she signed a contract for the AFW Friction division, eager to get back in the ring and make a name for herself once more.
