History and/or Personality: RioPaah is a deconstruction of Samoan archetypes, the fourth member of the DCWL's Annoyed Samoans. Oh sure, she wrestles barefoot and has tribal tattoos, and yeah, she hasn't got the best haircare regimen in the world, but that's because she likes how it looks, not because of any cultural hegemonic value system. RioPaah fancies herself a bit of a feminist, and often rallies against "outdated patriarchal ponces." You'd expect her to speak in angry pidgin or incomprehensible babbling. You would, because of your culture-enforced stereotypes. RioPaah speaks in a measured, snarky, deadpan Liverpudlian accent for some reason. Her cause is to redefine what it means to be a Samoan in wrestling. Or at least headbutt some people into oblivion.
