alessa would find ways to still be part of the world she wanted to be in. she tried everything and was ready to give up until a miracle happened. becoming a gear designer wasn't in her book, but it was better than nothing, right? she had somewhat experience when it came to sewing but wasn't a professional. that is when she decided to teach herself by watching videos and tutorials or simply winging it and hoping for the best. slowly, her work had gone from a crappy scraps to creating the most beautiful and iconic gears from japan, mexico, and the states. every wrestler who were legends had come to her to make their ideas come to life. 

she'd get sad because it reminded her she wasn't in the ring like she wanted to but sucked it up because she was lucky to be part of this industry. years later, alessa is grateful for working with all elite wrestling and has been with them since the beginning. 

if she were honest, alessa always thinks of the “what if's” too often, which is why she drowned herself into her craft instead. it soothed her and made her forget about it. she may get too caught up in her work, but it was better than overthinking.

not many people know of her rough upbringing. how it wasn't the way she thought it would be growing up. all the things she had endured and the pain she needed to pretend it didn't hurt her when, in reality, it did. very few people know about it, and it's her small circle. there was no point in talking about it. the past is the past, and she would never look back. her skeletons would stay in the closet she'd never open. wrestling was the reason that kept her sanity intact. hence why she wanted to be in the ring but became a gear designer instead after her training stopped. 

her mother wasn't exactly kind to her and would compare her to others constantly and the harsh words that would come out of her venomous mouth while her father wasn't there. he was there physically but not emotionally. it wasn't like she despised the man since he was a stranger who happened to be her father.

she most likely would be living in new york right now if she left wrestling. alessa wouldn’t be a famous artist. she’d be an artist who explores different types of styles and learn more about the history behind all of it. this includes her learning more about as she wants to expand her horizons. there’s certain artist she’d avoid that are very well known. alessa would never do that since it’s a big no for her. she would inspiration, but not from them. she wants to be her own person and for people to see her work as hers only. which is why she’d dig deep to find perfect ideas even if it takes hours.

not only that but, she’d living in new york instead of detroit since she believes her work would get more attraction than over there and would have a muse— the perfect person that captivate her and can’t get enough of them but not in a weird way. it’d be someone she knows from art school. there would be a possibility alessa would fall in love with them but again, she wouldn’t really have time for dating since her main focus would be her art.

since that didn’t happen, alessa creates designs for fellow wrestlers who she loves working with kenny omega, mercedes monè, jay white ( this one is kinda biased since that’s her wrestling son ), hiroshi tanahashi, and toni storm. she takes commissions from indie wrestlers as well since alessa likes expanding her work. she’s done commissions for aew, njpw, stardom, and cmll in the past and still does it.
