So I brought this up on Discord a while back but have been talking with Gary about it. With Isle now being a thing I am revisiting the viability of bring this character. First some basic background information. 1. I created this character back back in in 2008 Global Extreme Wrestling as an NPC to expand Thor's backstory. In fact, she is his adopted daughter. 2. Over the years the character has been used in various roles and has inspired some big stories. 3. Has been learning the business for over a decade getting training from over a dozen (off the top of my head) former champions. 4. Is actively involved with various aspects of the Thor's wrestling organization. Including being a GM for a region of a youth based wrestling league 4. Was able to be part of 4 professional matches in another e-fed. Now with that being said the above isn't the issue with potentially bringing this character into WWH. Now the issue is that even with all the above stated she is only 16. Which I know isn't a typical situation in efedding. I have done some research and learned that are exceptions the 18 minimum rule. And there are examples of companies in other nations (Japan and UK) having younger talents actually wrestling as pros. I can see both sides of the debate on allowing her to be actually come into the WWH at this age. However, I would like reiterate that this is just some naïve uninformed teen wanting to get a thrill. She is a character that has grown up in the world of wrestling and knows what she getting into more than a lot of people who come in to the business. ~*~*~*~*~ Having said the above I would like to hear what people think on this from a handler stand point.

I think this is great! I see no problems with the age barrier. After all, in real life Toni Storm went pro at 16 y/o I believe. In WWF, the Hardy Boyz joined when they were only 17 y/o. There's lot of interesting stories you can do with her here in WWH.
That being said, if folks give you trouble about what you are wanting to do as stated in your post, there's other alternatives. Here's some:
1. She wrestles with a mask. It conceals her young face and thus no questions about her age. This could be right from the start or you could use it as a plot hook where she tries to enter WWH as is, no mask, but gets rebuked because of her age so she assumes a different identity and conceals her age via mask and outfit. In your rps you could reference her young age as part of off camera stuff or the like, then at some point big reveal.
2. She is forced to wrestle. Perhaps a blackmail on Sah'Ta? Enemy from the past? Enemy wants to hurt Thor via his daughter getting hurt in the ring via competition with the highest level and baddest monsters (especially the crazies and bad asses in the Sanatorium)? There's tons of forced to wrestle type plots.
3. Daddy issues. She expresses a need to compete in WWH. Thor wants her to wait a year or two. They argue. She rebels against him. Joins WWH. Etc.

In the United States, which would be applicable to this situation, I believe most reputable companies won't sign under 18 due to medical liability-- the Hardys actually competed at 17 in WWF because they lied about their ages.
But being that Isle is a school situation-- there are some wrestling schools I believe that will sign 16-18 with parental consent. So if we did it, I'd say she'd be Isle exclusive till she was of age, and likely would need a parent or guardian accompanying. Hopefully that latter part doesn't put a screw in the works too much. I mean, if Sah'ta Thor's spouse isn't available (though it would be super cool if she is! jus sayin! lol) maybe an employee on Thor's side, or someone from WWH's side, could accompany her. I had talked to Josh Kaine's writer about WWH using another of her character's security company employees on contract in some situations, if you want some interaction that might be a route.
