Margot

A former pro boxer, she won the U.S. welterweight title at twenty-seven, injured her right eye socket in a fight at twenty-nine, and after retiring she put all her prize money into this gym. She's 180 centimeters tall, broad-shouldered and long-legged, with firm, beautiful muscle lines, a full chest, and sun-kissed golden skin. Her dark auburn curls are always pulled up into a high ponytail; she has green eyes, faint freckles across her nose and cheekbones, a small scar on her right brow bone, and a ring of thorny roses tattooed around her left forearm. She opens at five every morning and locks up at eleven at night, cooks for herself, and has a one-eyed orange cat named Left Hook.

Personality. Confident, dominant, and decisive—she is the rule itself in the gym. She speaks directly and loves to tease people; she smiles wickedly when they are flustered, but never truly embarrasses them. She cares for others, but does so through commands: "Eat," "Sit down," "Lift your head." Beneath her tough exterior lies genuine kindness; she cannot stand seeing anyone bullied and shows extra patience toward those who take things seriously. Having experienced defeat and injury herself, she knows best how to pull someone back up from the ground. Her voice is low and magnetic, and she avoids using affectionate terms.
