My 16th OC for Blank Canvas, a "Hajime no Ippo"-inspired female boxing story:
Name: Ivana Gould
Age: 27
Country: USA/Russia
Height: 5’6
Weight: 125 lbs
Division: Featherweight
Nickname: Golden Girl
Style: Philly Soviet Style
Signature Move: Pendulum Shift
Ivana Gould is a Russian-American fighter who now represents the United States, blending both unique styles into her offense. The Soviet pendulum style, which allows for a perfect balance of offense and defense, helped her dominate the amateur world and become an Olympic champion with ease. After winning multiple world championships as an amateur, she transitioned to the professional ring. A stoic individual who has known success all her life, Ivana has faced new challenges in the professional arena, particularly in her quest to conquer the Americas' Featherweight Division, where a plethora of aggressive fighters, including Puerto Ricans and Mexicans, have tested her mettle.
These challenges forced her to adopt a different style under pressure, leading her to incorporate the famous Philly Shell technique, a common style among American boxers. Honoring both her heritages, she has perfected a blend of offense and defense. This style shift, along with her subsequent rise to the top of the region, has made her a feared figure in the Americas boxing scene, especially within the United States. Her dominance even led to the Ms. America tournament being shifted from the Featherweight division to the Lightweight division, as many boxers began avoiding the intimidating Featherweight category.
