Gimmick: Emery is an eccentric, reckless, trouble-causing Traveller. She was once seen as a hero to many but after years of being played, abandoned, let down and taken advantage of, something has finally gone a bit wrong. While still quite jovial and chatty, Emery is developing intensity, vanity and callousness the likes of which we've never seen from her before and only seems to be spiralling further out of control.

Theme Song:
"Running Up That Hill" by Avec Sans
Entrance Description:
♫"IT DOESNT HURT ME,
DO YOU WANNA FEEL HOW IT FEELS?"♫
"Running Up That Hill" by Avec Sans hits the PA system, with nothing but lots of smoke and dark purple-y/pinkish lighting on the entrance stage to accompany it, like some sort of 80s nightclub. Though the thick smoke, we see her dancing silhouette. In a black and gold military jacket and a dirty old beanie hat, "The Enemy of the World" Emery Layton sashay's into the light. She's nodding her head to the beat of the music, holding her arms out as she struts down the ramp and swaying her head to the beat of her entrance theme. The fans are mixed at best but Em continues, fully embracing her own corruption.
Once she reaches the bottom of the ramp, she pulls her beanie off and thrusts it into her pocket as she skates up the steel steps and climbs into the ring, taking her time. Once she's in there, she runs to the rope right behind her bouncing off it as she drops to her knees and skids forwards, as all the lights drop except a single spotlight on her and the lights from cell phone cameras as her upperbody falls backwards. After a few moments of just simply listening to the response, she nips up and moves off to her corner, removing her jacket and handing it off to someone on the outside.

In a black and gold military jacket and a dirty old beanie hat, "The Enemy of the World" Emery Layton sashay's into the light, her XXX Championship around her waist.

Once she reaches the bottom of the ramp, she pulls her beanie off and thrusts it into her pocket as she skates up the steel steps and climbs into the ring, taking her time and unclipping her title to hold it in her hand. Once she's in there, she runs to the rope right behind her bouncing off it as she drops to her knees and skids forwards, as all the lights drop except a single spotlight on her and the lights from cell phone cameras as her upperbody falls backwards, holding the XXX Championship up in the air with both hands. After a few moments of just simply listening to the response, she nips up and moves off to her corner, removing her jacket and handing her belt off to someone on the outside.

Strengths:
1. Speed - Emery is like a spitfire when she gains momentum- constantly moving, a ball of energy flying a hundred miles an hour and when she's on a roll, she can be very hard to stop.
2. Versatility - Emery's extensive travel and willingness to learn over the years means she can wrestle various styles. She can go from lucha-libre esque high-flying from one minute to old British "World of Sport" style grappling the next. Her versatility means she can competently wrestle with many different opponents and keep up with them.
3. Social Awareness- Arguably Em's most dangerous skill. Though she very much downplays it or intentionally plays dumb, Emery is a crafty, intuitive people-watcher who excels at reading and reacting to social dynamics. Through this, she can bluff her way in and out of situations among other things that can tip things into her own favour. This is as much a strength in-ring as it is in the way she operates her life. You can’t bullshit a bullshitter.
Weaknesses:
1. Recklessness - Emery is as much an enemy to herself as she is to her actual enemies. Sometimes choosing to throw herself headfirst into situations rather than think rationally and consider the consequences of her actions, Emery is the prisoner of her own ego and stubbornness, much to her own detriment as a person, and she can often take things too far.
2. Past injuries - Emery has been doing this a very long time meaning she's got a few nagging injuries. She’s had various concussions over the years, she lost her hearing almost completely in her left ear and she's got a dodgy right shoulder after she dislocated it twice in Japan. Mostly, these things do not cause a problem but can act as catalysts for bigger problems during matches.
3. Who she used to be - Emery might be trying to purge everything that made her 'weak' last time around, but there’s still a twinge of what we used to know as Emery, trying desperately to get back out. Who knows what'll tip her back to that point...if she does.

Biography:
The eccentric, scatterbrained rogue Emery Layton is the only daughter in a large family of Travellers, who ran away at fifteen and became one of the top international talents of the last decade. With notable tenures in companies such as Union Battleground, XWA and IYH among many others, Em has won titles and been the focal point of divisions and main event scenes across the entire globe, even acknowledged by some as a hero and someone to look up to. In 2018, Emery was put in a near-unwinnable position and, against her never-say-die nature, forced to give up her career by former partner Adam Fenric.
But retirement was not kind.
Fenric never wrestled again after the match, leaving Emery feeling her career had been taken away for nothing. Spending two years questioning her own life and destiny, a betrayal by would-be protege Dasha Thane was the tipping point that caused Em to finally snap.
Reinventing herself as ‘The Enemy of the World’, Em has returned to pick up where she left off, weaponizing her recklessness and relishing the opportunity to cause chaos for anyone who crosses her path. She’s Emery Layton, and she does whatever she wants.
Years of Experience: Over 11, but it may as well be a billion.
Twitter Handle: @theemerylayton for Emery shenanigans, @adamisdjs for me, the handler.
Best Way to Reach?: Twitter or PMing me here!
Willing to Help Write Matches?: If I have the time and providing you don't mind them being SUPER wordy.
How Did You Hear About Us?: Twitter
What Brought You to the Battleground?: I came here in 2016 for the first two seasons and had to leave E-Fedding for mostly time and it was just time to move on, really. But with the pandemic and the fact the roster is entirely different now, thought it'd be cool to come back with a heel version of the character and do some more stuff till the world is straightened out (God knows when that'll be). So I'm back around!
