While I agree with the overall message,I dont see any difference between Ember in NXT and main roster besides booked less. She smiles more and has cartoony bright red hair. That’s enough for me. She has one of the best entrances and looks in the company. She should be like Michonne from The Walking Dead, a silent badass killer type... but instead she’s this generic smiling “happy to be here” face. Only she looks like she’s from Mortal Kombat... for a while. that’s it. I can’t even blame her cause I’m 99% sure this is all Vince and Dunn’s doing. “Smile more damn it!” She's always smiled and had colored hair... hell she had Red hair for like her entire NXT Womens' title reign. of the NXT call ups they've done nothing with... they've tweaked Ember the least.

I remember before an NXT Takeover, WWE showed a clip of her entering the arena with her family. All mysticism was thrown out the window for me. Imagine WWE showing Taker entering the arena with his family wearing sweatpants & flip-flops. They never really had any kinda mysticism behind the character though... outside of the Ember Moon is coming promos. It's part of the problem I've always kinda had with her... in NXT she was at least having good matches.

I'd have her as a genuine werewolf who gains extra strength and no selling ability during the full moon. Opponents would be scared of facing her during that time and complain that her beast blood gives her an unfair advantage. She'd also be invulnerable to weapons and foreign objects unless they were made of pure silver and forged during lunar eclipses. Considering where she took the "Moon" name from (if that pose with her fingers in front of her eyes) is any indication, and the red eyes, she would have been more of a rabbit than a wolf (though obviously a wolf would be much cooler, and still would have fit) anyway... That aside, I'm still a fan of hers, and will still be a fan no matter how much WWE doesn't give a shit about putting any effort into her booking. So, you're saying Ember Moon needs to start wearing a sailor/school girl outfit and have a tuxedo-clad man always save her? Ember Moon has always been how she is, though. All the character is in her entrance, then generic smiling babyface in her matches. She just traded her Game of Thrones style entrance in the independents for a werewolf one.

Dont worry,she was happy go face- mysterious smiling magic girl in NXT too Hmm...who might she remind us of? That is fair she could always be hiding the potential to be one of the greatest if she gets a character. Sometimes only some people see. But most people in NXT changed somewhat when it didnt work.

I have no idea what she's supposed to be.

Like most people she has an aesthetic but not a gimmick or a character.
I'd give her a similarly styled but white wardrobed character as a tag team partner. Cool visual with Ember Moon in her black and partner in white. Tag team run, then turn Ember Moon heel.
If you want to dip her into the supernatural further you could do that too. Demon King Finn Balor, Ember Moon, Bray Wyatt and a fourth person as a supernatural misfit stable could be fun.
She's exceedingly capable, just need to do something with her. (Besides having Nia Jax somehow be her goddamn mentor)

She doesn’t have a gimmick really
Outside of that tho, she’s been on the main roster nearly a year and hasn’t had one feud. That’s criminal, no one can get over if you don’t get a chance to care about them

Even though there was no setup for that... and I don't think it really even went anywhere.

Yea, and even that doesn’t really count Compare that to her feuds with Shayna and Asuka down in NXT where yes she still never really had a gimmick but you at least had a reason to root for her as a competitor They need to move Ember over to SD and have her and Asuka feud. By the time the summer comes I’ll be ready for an Asuka heel turn and while she has since most on SD, when Asuka was at her best, Ember was the only one she cheated against They can really almost redo the whole feud they did in NXT exactly and add on to it

Granted that feud wasnt great cause it entirely killed what little mystique she had but it still helped at least with the fiery babyface stuff.
