The Excluded

Active

Proposed by @jcbarr

Overview Camila Ferreira fights under the name Diamante. She is twenty-seven years old, from São Paulo, Brazil — a 5'7", 170-pound brawler whose bio is correctly filed under the Women's Division. At the BCD 5 New Wave bracket announcement, JC Barr named the eight competitors entering the women's championship tournament. Diamante was not among them. JC said her name once, in the context of explicitly excluding her, and offered no on-camera explanation for the choice. She has not responded publicly. She has not filed a statement. She has not appeared on a STRIFE card. She has not been seen at the building. The federation's women's division has run two tournament rounds and a defended championship without her, and she has been on no card. Her name has not been spoken on broadcast since the night JC excluded her. The angle is whether she eventually speaks, and what happens to the room when she does. The Crucible factor for Diamante is, currently, that she has not been in it. She has not entered The Crucible since the federation began. She has been at training. She has been wherever Camila Ferreira goes when she is not in this building. JC has not addressed the exclusion publicly since the original announcement. The audience has, in the absence of any commentary, begun to ask the question themselves.
