The Banshee
(THE ONLY PERSONA of the FORMER Morrighan McDonnell)
Picture Base: Abadon as The Banshee Current Nicknames: The Queen of the Monsters, The Mistress of Madness, The Wraith of the Ring, One of the Hex Girls Height:5'9" Weight:156 Born:???? Current Hometown (Billed from):Hell Itself!!!
CHARACTER INFORMATION
Disposition/Alignment:Babyface (Antihero)/Chaotic Good
Gimmick History:The Banshee, growing tired of perceived "failures" caused by Morrighan McDonnell's "humanity," which in The Banshee's mind was Morrighan's greatest "weakness," led to The Banshee's decision to finally "kill off" Morrighan's mind through a self-inflicted lobotomy, solely taking over as the ONLY DOMINANT PERSONA simply known as The Banshee, and only The Banshee. No longer concerned with "superficial human desires" like career success or championship opportunities, The Banshee only desires to cause chaos and calamity, wishing to demolish and devastate everything in her path, never caring about the consequences, because to The Banshee, there is nothing more beautiful in the world than anarchy... well, besides bloody fucking carnage... At least, that was the OLD BANSHEE...
The Banshee used to have absolutely ZERO empathy for fellow competitors, staff members, or even fans, never showing an ounce of mercy towards anyone, no matter how much they plead or beg for it... but having her eyes opened by the fans in Australia at 2021's Civil War event, The Banshee realized that she can finally be what the fans NEED her to be: a guardian, one that will stand up to corruption, other roster members, and anyone else that dares to cross The Banshee... AND HER FANBASE! The Banshee still relies on her street-fighting background, which does include a fair bit of Muay Thai/MMA training. The Banshee still enjoys methodically and sadistically "torturing" her opponents, both physically and mentally, still proving that she's one of the best in the business at playing mind games. Morrighan's personality has "fused" with The Banshee's persona, which now allows the character to... feel emotions like empathy, pity, etc., establishing that she still possesses some "humanity" deep down inside The Banshee's fractured soul. The Banshee constantly utilizes cinematic makeup and special effects in order to psychologically and emotionally torment her opponents, though she does possess special powers of her own, courtesy of The Banshee's Realm. The Banshee also has a very twisted and sinister sense of humor, often bursting out in random, psychotic laughter at disappropriate moments, as well as employing humor amongst her words.
Season 6 Information:
Not even her on-air murder, planned out by her sinister foster father Will McDonnell and Odyssey GM Llorona, could keep The Banshee from returning from the depths of Hell itself. However, thanks to some ancient black magic uncovered and utilized by Will McDonnell, The Banshee was made a prisoner of Avernus, one of the many layers of Hell. Meanwhile, Will McDonnell attempted to manufacture another "Banshee," with the sole purpose of rebranding the name using his original vision. However, The Banshee's sisterhood with fellow Hex Girl Marie Bouchard was a "loose end" that Will did not want left unaddressed, so for months he used his fake "Banshee" to harass and harm Marie at every opportunity, not knowing that Marie had secretly discovered how to summon back The Banshee, which she did at Final Destination Five, once Marie soundly defeated the overpowered imposter, despite Will McDonnell stacking the deck against Marie at FDV.
The return of The Banshee ushers in a new era for the character, as she finally gets to go after the vaunted Tag Team division with her fellow Hex Girl and best friend in the world, Marie Bouchard, the one person largely responsible for her resurrection, having to go through the hell that Will put her through in order to set up The Banshee's return. The Banshee also has plenty of unfinished business with Diantha Rosso, one of The Banshee's most hated rivals, as well as issues with those on the other brands. The Banshee is ecstatic to be back representing The Horde, as well as one of the Hex Girls, ushering in a new era of no longer running alone.
RINGSIDE INFORMATION
Theme Music for The Banshee: "Living Dead Girl" by Rob Zombie (Solo Entrance)
"TBD" by TBD (Hex Girls/Tag Team Entrance)
Entrance: The lights in the [arena/stadium/venue] all go out simultaneously, the live crowd cheering excitedly in response. A loud shriek echoes out the PA system, which is immediately followed by [Current theme music by artist] coming through loudly on every speaker. Two rows of torches line each side of the aisle, while some well-hidden fog machines begin creating an illusion of mist, the ground becoming completely obscured within moments. Suddenly, a soft purple light shines on the stage, as The Bansheeslowly walks out, her gaze looking directly ahead at the ring. She then looks out to the crowd, who loudly roar and cheer while she slowly looks on, before finally walking to the ring. Pockets of fog kick up with every imposing step she takes, her face devoid of emotions. She glances at the crowd while slowly advancing towards the ring, staring straight ahead with a determined grimace on her face.The Banshee then approaches the ring, slowly climbing up the ring steps before ascending to the top turnbuckle, perching herself like an eagle. The Banshee then arches her back, tilts her head up high as she looks directly at her [opponent/opponents], bellowing out a loud, primal scream, accompanied by the [arena/stadium/venue] lights slowly illuminating the crowd in a pale green light. After The Banshee finishes her eerie shriek, the [arena/stadium/venue] falls back into darkness momentarily, the lights returning to normal as The Banshee raises one arm, the crowd massively popping for the fan favorite.
MOTIVATIONS
Morrighan had an overwhelming desire to be accepted, but her fractured psyche has caused her to turn to her most dominant alter-ego: The Banshee. After repeated "failures," The Bansheebecame determined to not only become the strongest persona, but to remain the ONLY PERSONA in full control. Morrighan was obsessed with winning titles, and her obsession pushing her mind over the edge, but The Banshee didn't intially share these desires, preferring to cause chaos wherever she goes. The Bansheepersona was initially "born" out of a combination of factors, but The Banshee'smain desires continue to be to brutally punish and hurt her opponents without any mercy. The Bansheenow speaks fluently, has a twisted sense-of-humor, and is still motivated to be a "hero" to her fans! She's also excited to team up with fellow Hex Girl Marie Bouchard, the closest thing to a sister and best friend the Queen of the Monsters has ever had!
Tendency to Cheat: The Banshee doesn't care about the rules, and will do whatever is necessary. However, she rarely ever needs to cheat, thanks to her power and high pain tolerance.

NOTES: Mainly wrestles in a brawling style, which compliments the monster persona of The Bansheeas well as drawing on the street-fighting background of Morrighan, but now The Banshee has employed more aerial and technical maneuvers from studying her opponents during the last few years. The Bansheehas a much higher-than-normal pain tolerance, and will often recover quickly from powerful moves. The Banshee can be defeated via submission, but only by "passing out," as The Banshee will NEVER tap out to a submission hold. As a babyface, The Banshee will often take on more punishment, often able to "rise up" at later points in the match, a la Undertaker/Kane. The Banshee still has no friends, but she's now in the market for a couple... The Banshee now refers to her fans as "The Banshee's Hordes," referring to them as her "legions and legions" of fans, similar to how The Rock addressed his fans during the Attitude Era.
