The next pair of wrestlers I will write about are Sweetie Dreams and Kaia. These are two ladies I don't see very often, but who always keep an ear in for wrestle goings-on. Both of these ladies are tall, and both have demonstrated a good ability to remember wrestling techniques well, even after only a little bit of exposure.

Sweetie's page at Doom Maidens
I first met Sweetie in 2015. Like Aralia, Sweetie had first come to one of our beginner wrestler workshops and had no previous wrestling training. I think she was just checking us out out of curiosity, and I'm not sure she expected wrestling to suit her as well as it did. But something struck her, and she stuck around.
In 2016, that fateful year for the "new generation," Sweetie upped her training and started to learn grappling movement patterns that would become ingrained in her muscle memory. She seemed to take a noticeably thoughtful approach to the wrestling training work, mentally processing in a markedly pensive way. She had a natural physical strength and casual athleticism, which, as a beginner, may have been a double-edged boon/detriment to her for starting out; she could make things work without them being entirely spot on, due to having both the strength and natural movement savvy. And she did seem aware of this -- she knew she could smash smaller and less-experienced opponents, but larger, physically stronger opponents presented a considerable challenge. But that's par for the course as a beginner wrestler!
Sweetie had her first appearance on video in 2016, for our October 2016 Live Filming Event. She had matches against Cat Wily and Kinzie Fire (both now retired), which she lost and won, respectively. She continued training through 2016 and into 2017, facing a variety of opponents in video matches -- opponents that would match her in size and strength. She had matches where she completely smashed the opposition, and she had matches which were considerable uphill challenges.
Despite not having time available to enroll in and train formally at a grappling school, Sweetie has conducted herself commendably in competitive matches, even when down on the scoreboard. While she hasn't had much time to drill and train, the muscle memory she built during the 2016-2017 period has stayed firm. Even in her difficult matches against the likes of Amazon Annie, Layla Moore, and Bella Rush -- powerful ladies, all -- Sweetie held off the tide as long as she could, relying on those natural movement-smarts and muscle memory to avoid being utterly crushed, even though she was eventually defeated.
Into 2018 and 2019, Sweetie became very busy with other work, and so I saw her much less often for wrestling practices. But she was still keeping her eye on the game and still able to come out for the occasion video filming. I would see her at Lola Jean's wrestling parties, where she'd continue to show her wrestling enthusiasm, wrestling charm, wrestling inclination... and her favorite signature move: The Hand Smother.
In fact, it is unusual to have Sweetie Dreams without having a Hand Smother attack as well! While she likely learned this tactic (the hard way) from Cat Wily, Sweetie put the hand smother to use quite widely and merrily in wrestle situations (and it was later adopted by Ursa, who had previously felt the merriness Sweetie's smother). Not a bad move to be known for!
Anyway! Just last week, Sweetie came over to join us for wrestling practice. Things lined up well, and her schedule gave her a chance to jump back in with the Doom crew on the mats. I will say, despite her time away, her strength, athleticism, and muscle memory are still great assets for her. She was able to pick up where she left off, remembering her previous learnings very well and naturally. She's definitely got an intuitive thing there for wrestling.
Anyway, again! Competitive action and development, aside, Sweetie is also quite a ham for pro-style action, though our general release video productions have not shown this side of her very much. Pro-style jobber-ing, I believe, seems like a great fit, with her personal style of expressiveness. But in any case, continuing on -- even though I don't get to see Sweetie as often as I used to, I do I keep in touch with her remotely, and I get to see her for meeting, meet-ups, and parties. Maybe we will all get a chance to see more of her again in the future, and perhaps with some pro-style action.

Kaia
Kaia is the tallest lady we have wrestling in our home group right now, at 5'10" tall.
I met Kaia in 2016, if I recall correctly (such a year, 2016). She had come on occasion to practice with our wrestling training group, but for several reasons, including travel distance and scheduling, she wasn't able to train with us very much. However, she was getting some "mat time" with rough body play wrestle-y action at kink parties. Wrestle play and nightlife do make for a fun and adventuresome combination, I must say.
Although she was only able to come over and practice with the group on occasion in the earlier years of 2016-2018, Kaia grabbed on to the material that she encountered, and she locked it into memory. In fact, despite a lack of regular training beforehand, she was able to access techniques from her memory banks when she fought Ursa in 2018, her first official competitive one-on-one bout on video.
And just the other day, a few weeks ago, when she was over for practice (this is 2019 now), she spontaneously started to remember moves from back in her memory. And not just mental memory, but muscle memory as well. Recently, too, when I saw her wrestling at Lola's wrestling party in early May, I was impressed by her wrestling domination style -- is this intuitive? Is it learned via osmosis? Via observation?
Kaia's first video with us was a 7-Way Superheroine Bondage Wrestling Tourney, in March 2017. I believe this was around the time she first officially decided to get more into modeling and public presence. Of course, she wound up hogtied in round 1. By Sarah Brooke.
A year passed before Kaia's second official video, which was the afore-mentioned competitive match against Ursa. Kaia showed good instincts, mat sense, and tactical recall in that match, but Ursa had been training regularly for 6 months beforehand, and she had the definite training edge on Kaia there.
Now we are here in 2019, and Kaia has been having more time available to get back into wrestling training, practice, and mat-hitting action. This past month, she has been coming to practices, working on her game, and re-discovering moves she had stored in her memory banks. For instance, after hearing a brief mention of the mounted triangle, Kaia accessed her memory files and then proceeded to find her way into applying the hold.
Although Kaia has been around off-and-on for a while, she still seems like a "newcomer" in the wrestling arena. And that's not a bad thing! Let's go onward and upward and see where her wrestling journey goes!

As always, thanks for reading! I had to take a break between writing Sweetie's entry and writing Kaia's entry to go do some errands, so that interrupted my train of thought a bit. But I hope everything read all right.
These are two ladies who I feel that we (as a wrestling group) and you (as an audience) have not seen very often. A lot of the difficulty comes from challenges with scheduling. But both ladies have a good physical sense, and it would be nice to see them try out other wrestling styles and genres, in addition to continuing to test themselves in competitive situations. Maybe this summer will be a good time to build and grow and experiment and see how these two tall ladies continue to evolve as wrestlers!
