Rolling in the ROK

• Skater Name / Number: Rink Wraith / 0

• Bio: Born in eastern Kentucky to a gypsy mother, this straight shooter aims for the head and shoots from the hip. A southern girl through and through, it was soon off to Florida to raise hell, punch boys, get nasty looks form retirees and find some way to get out of that snore of a state. Enter St. Augustine, creative writing, art majors, and Carnies. Exit with Bachelor’s degree, tattoo, piercings, and more bad habits. Board plane for anywhere. Land in Korea. Take over the country, one child at a time. Currently brain-washing minions for a global take-over near you!

Toto Chaos rolled all the way from Kansas to the Emerald City and on into Korea, now chasing off all wicked witches and biting all shiny ankles. 

Chaos discovered derby when college roomie Mad Plow Dizease joined the Dutchland Derby Rollers and began dropping fun tidbits about hitting people and skating fast. She forsees another tornado sweeping her back toward the Wicked Witch of the West soon, but has loved every minute of being on the ROKD team!

Glamzilla escaped from the corn fields of the Midwest, boarded a plane, and woke up in the rice paddies of Daegu, South Korea with a bottle of soju in her hand. She has no idea how she made it through immigration nor why parents pay her to teach their offspring English but seriously, would anybody want to tell Glam no?

                            Skate Name/Number: Fleur Rocious 171
                                    Joined ROKD: one of the founding four!

After being mysteriously washed up on Brighton beach, UK with a terminal case of amnesia, Fleur Rocious (dubbed so because of the flower in her hair and the inexplicable violent rampage after being awoken) set out to discover her true identity and the purpose of her existence.

Seeking refuge from the stormy seas of the coast, Fleur attempted to find solitude by hiding in a dark London basement. After seeing a small child whizz past her only window on a pair of heelys, Fleur felt a sudden blaze of passion and meaning within her empty life. As an unprecedented chain of events unraveled she was finally drafted into the London Roller Girls. Following the specialized training, a mission was given and fate brought her to Korea, under the guise of an officious yet foxy botanist. When her accomplices managed to infiltrate the country, they were to surreptitiously rendezvous at an inconspicuous music festival in order to concoct plans to create the first Korean Roller Derby team. The beginning…

*Fleur Rocious is now back in the U.K. :-(  We MISS YOU!!*
