Aigle (Rumble Roses)

Aigle is a playable character in both the original Rumble Roses in 2004 and sequel Rumble Roses XX in 2006. She fights under the moniker of "The Nomad". Her Japanese voice actress is Yuka Inokuchi. She was dubbed by Terry Osada in the first game, with Sandy Fox voicing her in the sequel.

Background
Aigle is a member of a nomadic tribe living in the sprawling planes of modern day Mongolia, a land-locked country surrounded on all sides by Russia and China. The once dominant Asian culture suffered in the shadow of Imperial China (and later Soviet China) between the late 1700s till the fall of the USSR at the end of the 1980s. Despite all this, Aigle enjoyed a normal, happy life in the isolated plains of Mongolia.

Like her father and brother, Aigle is the latest descendant in long-running family tradition of Mongolian Wrestling, with both her father and brother being masters. As such, she is a master practitioner of the traditional Mongolian Wrestling known as Bökh (meaning "durability")''. ''Bökh is somewhat similar to Japanese Sumo, in that it utilized ones upper body strength and endurance. The first game's manual refers to her fighting style as "Mongolian Sumo", but this is likely just a mistake. Another point worth noting is that traditional Mongolian Wrestling is highly patriarchal... to the point that steps have been taken to keep women from ever participating in it. So this makes the fact that Aigle was trained for this, even more extrordinary.

Aigle chose to enter the Rose Tournament to prove herself, not just to the other fighters around the world, but to her father and brothers- as she desires more then anything to prove her strength to them. Aside from her raw fighting tallent, Aigle also brought her enthusiasm and outgoing nature to the tournament as well... She soon made friends with fellow competitor Makoto Aihara and her other friend, Candy Cane. Their friendship would prove so good that the two went on to form the Tag-Team, TheGreat Beautiful Strong Pair.
