PERSONALITY
Dasha Thane is the persona Dasha Jayne-Todd uses to be the brash, cocky and driven person she truly is, deep down. She is an articulate, staunch, left-leaning feminist who believes in equality and rejects misogyny or exploitation.Having been trained by two former world champions for extended periods, Dasha is acutely aware of how good she is in-ring and isn't afraid of telling you. But Dasha is incredibly stubborn and at times unreasonable, something she simply views as having conviction. She has been known to hold grudges for a long time, and uppity in the face of an ‘unfair’ loss.Be it as a heel or face, Dasha Thane is the brave and courageous hero of her own story and simply will not be told differently.
Fictional Inspirations: Talia al Ghul, Magneto
Ever since she was a child growing up on a council estate in Manchester, Dasha Jayne-Todd has wanted to change the world.Aside from being the daughter of Diamond Jack Sabbath, kept secret from the world for twenty years, Dasha came to the industry to hold it accountable and revived her father’s faction War Enforcement to do it. Dasha declared herself the “Anti-Wrestler”, and publicly condemned the business before promising the abolishment of ‘paying your dues’, a no-tolerance policy towards marginalisation among many other things. Despite becoming one of the most hated people across IYH and ThunderDome, Dasha still managed to recruit a substantial amount of people to her cause. When her father returned and retook control of the group, Dasha saw the error of her ways and chose to turn her back on him, beginning anew. After the fall of War Enforcement, Dasha emerged from her previously cold shell, becoming a founding member of the group known as #BlackMarketGraps, forming a tag team with her best friend Jayla Cruz as Team Dayla.In late 2022, Dasha became one of the first signees to Valkyrie Wrestling, where she became their first World Champion, and began a relationship with fellow BMG member Beck Ness. But what followed a career-defining beginning to her run was a year of frustration and perceived injustices she opposed. Fans took to Dasha, voting her Hero Of The Year for 2023…but this only added fuel to the fire brewing. After a year of extremely personal feuds with CHELSEA, Selena Harrison, Mira Coburn and even her own father returning, it was at Until One Remains II in 2024, after being eliminated in record time one year on from losing her title that Dasha Thane finally snapped. Now fashioning herself as "The First Hero of Valkyrie", Dasha Thane became a new woman. Ruthless, egomaniacal with the moral superiority complex dialled up to eleven, Dasha led a trio of herself, Carrington Royce and YOKAI called The Vox Populi, a crusade to 'fix' Valkyrie that ultimately cost her everything - her friends, her fans, and eventually, her relationship, in a "Loser Leaves Valkyrie" match with Beck Ness.After two months spent in hiding, Dasha has been taken under the wing of Dr. Adam Fenric, an old tag team partner of Emery Layton who looks rehabilitate her, purge the worst parts of Dasha and make her stronger once again. And with Lavinia Fenric also on board to help Dasha control her fear (and maybe more than that), we enter a brand new chapter in the ever-evolving story of Dasha Thane, and her constant quest for one simple thing - to become the best version of herself.

WRESTLING STYLE
Speed and power, that’s Dasha Thane. Lots of power moves but a great deal of running around the ring to hit them. Having been trained by both Diamond Jack Sabbath and Emery Layton separately, she takes elements of their styles with her. The aggressive, smash-mouth stylings of Sabbath blended with the fast-paced offense and quick-thinking of Emery..
Wrestles Like: Kris Statlander, Bianca Belair, Mid-90s Shawn Michaels.
STRENGTHS
Athleticism: Dasha has gone to great lengths to keep herself in shape, and thus she is incredibly athletic, having prioritised bodybuilding, box-jumps and cardio. This has become even more prominent since her return from injury, as she’s had more time to prepare.Speed: Much like her mentor, Dasha has a lot of speed on her side. Though not really a high flyer at all, she is very quick on her feet and can keep up with even the most speedy of opponents. Girl’s a cardio machine.Strength: Dasha Thane’s greatest asset in-ring is that she is incredibly powerful and can perform some very impressive feats of strength. With a focus on lariats, suplexing and presses, Dasha can do a lot of heavy lifting where needed with the right opponent. Obviously with bigger opponents, this differs. Amongst the women, though? She’s a hoss.
WEAKNESSES
Past Injuries: Dasha wears a knee-brace when wrestling, due to a torn ACL suffered at the end of 2020. This kept her out of action for some time, and while she’s generally okay, this can be exploited in a match if you're opportunistic enough.She's Cocky: Dasha knows how good she is in-ring, and she isn't quiet about it. To her detriment. She sometimes goes into matches over-confident and under-prepared.Mum's the word: Just like Marty McFly being called ‘chicken’, Dasha Thane hates insults being thrown towards her late mother. Considering Kathy Todd to be a stronger and better person than her father ever was, an insult to her mother has only ever resulted in furious overreactions and trouble.Temper: Dasha isn't the best at managing her anger and whenever she says "I'm going to take care of this", what it REALLY means is she's just gonna try and kick ten types of shit out of the problem and end up in a pull-apart brawl. This was a reoccurring issue in Valkyrie Wrestling when she was there. That being said, she has an anger issue, and it's quite easy to exploit if she feels she's been hard done by or put in an unfair position.
