"Legends Never Die" by Halocene ft. Against The Current

The lights of the arena immediately go out. There is nothing but absolute darkness when the vocals of Halocene lead singer Addie Nicole resonate with more of the opening lyrics to "Legends Never Die".

A color-changing spotlight shines on the entrance stage and Xaria Linette emerges through the black curtains. The long-time Rainbow Angel fans are bursting with cheers for the LWA Hall of Famer!

She stands in the center of the spotlight, smiles, and closes her eyes. She extends her arms out to her sides and shows off her colorful ring attire, still donning the traditional red and purple hooded jacket of the Harbinger.

The color-changing spotlight begins to flicker on and off as she makes her way toward the ring, blowing kisses to the fans and teasing them with her sexy, sultry looks and moves. Xaria ascends the steel steps, enters the ring apron, and poses, her eyes shimmering and her body language delighted.

She looks at the fans with a confident smile on her face as they shout out “XARIA!” Suddenly, the spotlight shuts off, and for a moment, there is darkness. When the lights come back on, she’s perched atop one of the corners of the ring with her legs crossed in classic Michael Rivers fashion.

The beloved Rainbow Angel of the wrestling industry and the Former Harbinger of the previous Lord Lucifer. Like her tag-team partner Chelsea, Xaria is a true legend in the squared circle. She’s an ambassador for mental health and a motherly figure to her loved ones. She is not, however, without flaws as she has made decisions with long-term -- if not lifetime consequences. Beyond her colorful spirit and enchanting good looks, there is a dark, underlying sadness.

Xaria was born in Paris, France on July 16th, 1986, and was medically diagnosed with Schizophrenia at a very young age. Due to her poor background, she was never able to afford healthcare and medical treatments for her mental health until she moved to the United States when she was eighteen.

Alan Lockhart, Owner and Head trainer of a junior martial arts studio in Charlotte, North Carolina, adopted Xaria and allowed her to live with him and his step-children, Brendan and Kimberly Lockhart (RIP). Xaria was able to keep her last name in remembrance of her mother, Olivia. Training in a variety of martial arts, in particular, American karate and Taekwondo, Xaria grew stronger, faster, smarter, and better.

When she was twenty, she made a major career decision and trained to become a wrestler. Her professional debut was in January 2007 with Legacy Wrestling Alliance. Within two months, she became the first LWA Crossfire Division Champion. Two months later, she defeated the entire roster in a battle royal to become the last LWA Undisputed World Champion. She was inducted into the LWA Hall of Fame sometime after the company closed down.

In the first two months of a newly reopened company called Epic Wrestling Organization, she became one-half of the eWo World Tag-Team Champions with Alexis Sykes at age twenty-one. Her accomplishments would grow with her too. She was an eWo Tag Champion two more times with two different partners, James Dean and Gabe Shelley. She finally earned singles gold in the company as the eWo Commonwealth Champion, dethroning her longtime rival Jack Darling.

Her first brief adventure in the BWF would allow her to become one-half of the Tag-Team Champions with Gabe Shelley. Her second time in the BWF, she would become one of the first-ever Trios Champions alongside Sabrina Scott and Kaito Hirano, and later on, earned her first BWF singles title as the International Champion. In November 2015, she requested a leave of absence to be with her children in New York City.

Xaria is the only daughter of Manuel and Olivia Linette, both of whom passed away several years ago. She has been through many relationships, including three marriages. While her second marriage with Jackson Ford was her longest, it was also her most unfaithful. He was committing infidelity with multiple women, so Xaria, in turn, had an affair with two men at two different times: Jonathan Fitzsimmons and Martin West. Johnny is the biological father of Christian and Jacques, while Martin is the biological father of Pénélope. Sometime after she divorced Jackson, she actually started dating Martin, and the two even married, resulting in her third marriage.

During her third marriage, Xaria discovered that she was not her father’s only child. Before Olivia, Manuel was in a relationship with another woman named Luciana Fontaine. They brought into the world a son and named him Quentin. Finally meeting in October 2014, Quentin introduced his younger half-sister to his son, Rémiel Fontaine. This makes the Linette family both extensive and fascinating. When Quentin harbored some resentment towards their late father, Xaria helped him find peace. She’s the co-owner of the three Michelin star restaurant in Paris, France, Le Beau Paradis. In January 2014, she opened a second restaurant in the heart of New York City, Le Belle Baiser. With time, it, too, has three Michelin stars. Through this and her inheritance, Xaria is a certified multi-millionaire with a very kind heart.

After divorcing Martin and discovering Jaime Alejandro’s not-so-secret affair with his “business partner” a couple of months later, Xaria had enough of love. She nearly fell off the deep end; only her innocent children would keep her from complete darkness. For a time, she wandered aimlessly until she was tempted by the Devil himself, Lord Lucifer, God of the Children of Nephilim. Initially, she fell in lust with him, at first seeing him in secret to simply fulfill their carnal desires. But when he went off the grid to prepare for his fight with Dean Matthews in Hell, she was desperate to find him. When she did, he was not Lucifer but Michael Rivers. She took care of him, mending his wounds after his refusal to go to a hospital, and her lust transitioned into love. A love that he would eventually reciprocate for not only her but her children as well.

Even when Lucifer resurfaced and revived the Children of Nephilim for the second incarnation, Xaria would stay loyal to him. She was so in love with the Devil that she became his Harbinger. Together with the Children, they fought battles both in and out of HYBRID Wrestling. Her focal point was not the wrestling but rather the "civil war" that transpired between the Children and two men named Valdemar Johansen and Anthony Crawford. It lasted for over a year until January 16th, 2020. She took a small break in order to be with her children and help Michael in his slow recovery from long-term spinal paralysis. This condition would never completely heal, but with her and Sister Sariel’s assistance, Michael was able to function on a daily basis, creating Morning Star Productions.

After HYBRID's closure in December 2020, Xaria devoted her time to being a stay-at-home mother. With all three of her children in grade school, watched over by Michael and Sara, Xaria found herself striving for... more. Enter: Pro Wrestling Excellence. Despite her legendary status, her record in PWE was less than satisfactory. Perhaps this was due to the mysterious attacks afflicted on herself, her best friend William Mason, and her nephew Remi. Suspicion was set upon two people: Zoey Madigan-Star and Tara Ayla. Fortunately and unfortunately, the mysterious assailant turned out to be neither woman. In reality, it was Prince Sekhmethotep, Remi’s psychosis-in-life, who was the true culprit. This was a shock to Xaria’s core and she refused to fight a member of her own family. After losing in an intense Boardwalk Brawl match against Zoey, PWE closed its doors, allowing Xaria to withdraw from the wrestling industry completely.

Xaria entrusted Jesse Anderson-Fontaine, Remi’s husband, to acquire his cousin Dottie’s services as a therapist for her nephew once again. Remi was extremely apologetic, but the damage was done. Zoey’s life was never the same -- and Xaria believes she is responsible for this. Even with her own profound apologies to the Sorceress Supreme of Professional Wrestling, the somber Frenchwoman fell prey to Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). This, in turn, chained together a series of dramatic events between herself, William, and Betsy Granger. It was the fallout of her best friendship with William for a long time… until their daughters, Penny Linette and Kayla Mason, intervened and persuaded them to make amends.

Now…? The Rainbow Angel has formed a tag team with the Goddess of Ice. Xaria and Chelsea call themselves The Sovereign and they desire the HYBRID rEvolution Tag-Team Championships most of all. But maybe, just maybe, there’s something more to this out-of-nowhere decision!

Yes.

HYBRID v1, bay-bay!

Once a naïve and (slightly!) delirious optimist, Xaria has been through Hell and back twice over. Literally! She has seen and been through some crazy fucking shit. In the ring, she's focused and channeled as a ring veteran should be. She will never run from a fight. She will never abandon her family and friends. Unless it's required of the match (i.e. ladder, tables, TLC, etc.), she will never use any other weapon except for her signature glitter-painted, sticker-covered steel chair.

Xaria is primarily tag-team-focused with Chelsea. If need be, she can participate in other match types.
