Get to know your Riot Girls! Cassandra Pain #99
Cassandra Cain became Batgirl in 1999. Shortened it to 99.
This is my rookie year!
Wherever they put me. I'm working on learning the positions and where I play best.
A friend of mine (Iona Beerwagon – Faster Pussycats) plays and I'd always been interested. I saw the season opener last year and was hooked. I bought my skates a few weeks later and joined up with some other derby hopefuls (now organized and full of more awesome – RawMeat) to practice for tryouts! I've never liked traditional sports.I'm always drawn to less mainstream activities, and I HATE working out, so it has to be fun. Thus, I play roller derby.
There are too many to break it down to just one. One of my favourites was when I was jamming and broke out of the pack. I looked into the stands and saw my Monster cheering like a crazy person. That was pretty awesome.
WHAT'S THE MOST NON-DERBY THING YOU DO?
I'm not sure I understand the question. Is being a mom non-derby? Because I have my very own 5 year old Monster.
If I told you I'd have to kill you ;)
Oh who knows... I've been told I look like Darryl Hannah...
Can I? Yes. Will it look good? No.
Everyone else has already said it, but buy the TCRG a new home. Travel the world (in the off season of course!). After that I'd spend mymoney on a new house complete with a comic room full of shiny new comics.
Can I choose time/space travel? Because that'd be awesome!
Not so much. I'm up for making a fool of myself with whatever comes up!

Get to know your Riot Girls! Honey Habanero #62
WHAT'S THE STORY BEHIND YOUR NAME?
It’s cute and fun and I love alliteration!
WHAT'S THE STORY BEHIND YOUR NUMBER?
My oldest daughter was 6 when I started playing and my youngest was 2.
HOW MANY SEASONS HAVE YOU PLAYED?
This is my rookie year.
WHAT'S YOUR BEST DERBY STORY?
During my 25 lap endurance testing I spiraled out of control somewhere around lap 24, landed on Suzy Shameless’s lap then continued on skating to complete my 25. Nothing like a little mid skate lap-dance to keep things interesting.
WHAT'S THE MOST NON-DERBY THING YOU DO?
Get dolled up and wear heels everyday to work in the corporate world of Real Estate Development.
WHO WOULD PLAY YOU IN THE MOVIE OF YOUR LIFE?
CAN YOU DRAW ME A PICTURE?
I can, but will I?
YOU JUST WON A MILLION DOLLARS. WHAT DO YOU DO?
Buy a giant warehouse. I think I know a few girls that could use one. That, and build a fortress.
IF I COULD OPEN UP YOUR BRAIN AND DIRECT DEPOSIT A NEW SKILL, WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
Speed.
DO YOU HAVE A SIGNATURE KARAOKE SONG?
Not any one song just as long as I sing it in my car. Alone.
YOU'RE JUST SITTING DOWN TO A FAMILY DINNER WHEN A TEAM OF NINJAS CRASHES THROUGH YOUR WINDOW! WHAT DO YOU DO?!
Suckerpunch. Stop. Drop and ROLL!WHAT'S THE BEST PART OF BEING A RIOT GIRL?
Knowing you have all these amazing fellow Soldiers of Awesome that have your back! I’ve never felt such a feeling of belonging.

Rollin' Out
Try to control your wailing and your gnashing of teeth, friends. Percy ain't sure she's hanging up her skates for good just yet, and we're willing to bet that she'll be popping up again... somewhere. (Some little league in some tiny town is going to hear the Littlest Hobo theme song and wonder what the hell...)
Riot Girls for Life, dude. The door to the Compound is always open (and if I'm passed out in front of it, just use the secret knock. We'll have our monkey butler by then for sure!) We'll miss you.

JUNE 11 !
Game day's coming up quick, and your Riot Girls have been doing nothing but practice for a solid month to get ready to set the tide out on the Derby Dames! Seriously, Coach made us practice at 9. 9 AM. It's like a Rocky pre-fight montage around the compound these days...
