Bio: Dr Feral was first discovered in the late 1970s when scientists found a young feral child being reared by a pack of wolves in the wilds of the United States. Though many of the researchers faced horrible injuries from the vicious biting and scratching, the child was studied intensively at a variety of universities until brought to the UK in 2004 for further studies. By this time the wild child had learned from the psychologists, earned a doctorate and began to teach others her feral ways- but put on some skates to channel the remaining aggression through roller derby!

And another thing:
Cannon Fire, aka Captain Charlie Chang, aka Charlie with the Charlies, aka Carlotta Sinonos, is a woman of many names but only two moods; really good and really bad. Half London, half West Country, her language is coarse but friendly, her friends are scattered but important, and her history is dark but entertaining. A previous committer of many crimes but committed of none, she now has her fun with the London Rollergirls, and fits in the odd bit of illustration when she can. Desperate to get a 3/4 sleeve of tattoos but nervous to do so because three separate psychics have told her she’ll live to an unusually old age, her current appearance is one crowned by messy hair, and assisted by an arm that won’t straighten, but she’s happy. A pirate with four crew members and a wench but no ship (yet), Cannon Fire is guaranteed to tell you that country kids play harder, though she knows that no one really plays harder than a London Rollergirl.

My Bio: I grew up on the Greek side of Cyprus until I was incarcerated in boarding school (Catholic convent (yikes!)) at 12, in Sherborne in Dorset. They let me out at 18 (just about) and I moved to london to do my art foundation, then onto collage in Brighton, my mum told me to be careful because there were a lot of ‘Strange ladies’.

I moved back to London, where I joined the Rollergirls and everything seems to make sense… shoving, yelling and rolling about. What could be better? I intend to be one of the oldest Rollergirls around!!

Foul-mouthed, feisty and fearless, Fox Sake first learnt to skate when challenged to a race at the local rink by her worst enemy, the girl who’d made her school years hell. Leading the race, but tiring fast, Fox knew there was only one way to win - as her nemesis drew level, she delivered a vicious body block, slamming the other girl to the ground and leaving her lying bleeding in the dust. With vengeance finally hers, Fox left her hometown and headed south to London and her spiritual home - the roller derby arena.
