Story Edits

I ran this by Tillman and these fixes to what we already have are approved. We're done working on story now.

In the beginning scene when Tia is a child, we will include hints of Terrible’s presence. Not necessarily as an evil element, but as a dishonorable one. He’s not well liked and most people want him out of the wrestling scene. After the time skip Terrible’s done something or other that’s truly awful and Tia’s father feels he has to take him out. 

Terrible is too cowardly to ever take him on though, and so Tia’s father offers a challenge. If terrible loses he has to get out of their town and leave wrestling and he puts up his mask and his belt. Terrible shows up with his team and through his pride her father still takes on the fight. 

Tia’s father loses and even though it’s an unfair win his honor won’t let him go back on his word and he makes good on his side of the bet, leaving him masks and shamed.

 

In this time, Tia is less of a bully and more a braggart. She hold matches at thee school all the time and never loses. Lupe has grown to become her rival through the years and Flaco and Pequeño never associate with her. 

Flaco and Pequeño both take wrestling very seriously now. They may not necessarily dislike Tia, but they’re more the types to go by the books and so her showboating doesn’t sit well with them.

When El terrible broadcasts this challenge, most are unbothered but he offers Tia’s father’s mask as a prize alongside the title. Tia is enraged for obvious reasons, the brothers can’t stand to have terrible delegitimize the sport and Lupe wants the title as well as not wanting to be made to seem like a fool by Terrible’s antics.

They all join forces through this common goals and immediately go to face el terrible. They’re defeated easily and are sent back home, prides wounded. It’s here that the mother chooses to train them and they lie about their bonds. 

I wasn't sure how to word this in the above package, but Lupe and Tia's relationship is one of one-upping the other up until they need to depend on the other. Then they can have that convo of "I respect your strength/ I was afraid you'd over take me" and then we continue the story as it is.
