Evilynn Carnit
She may be one of the smallest skaters in the TXRD, but she is definitely one of the meanest. Cross
her and you'll find out just how she got that name. She skates for the Cherry Bombs as a blocker and
sometimes jammer. Evilynn serves on TXRD's training team, where she helps whip rookies into
shape. Off the track, she's one of our ace reporters. She graduated from the University of Nebraska at
Omaha with a degree in journalism.

Ginjure Scraps
Ginjure is one of the most congenial members of the TXRD Lonestar Rollergirls. But, when she
straps on her skates and gets onto the track with her fellow Cherry Bombs, she's as fierce as
they come. Try to get past her or lay a finger on her jammer and she'll make sure your face gets
well-acquainted with the track. She was recently co-captain of the season opening All Scar
Army that beat the undefeated Holy Rollers of last season.

Varuca Assualt
Varuca skates for the TXRD Lonestar Rollergirls' Cherry Bombs, where she is one of the most feared
players in the league; she was voted 'Most Feared' in her league in 2007. She is also a regular on the
still-undefeated All Scar Army. She's been in the league since they went banked and knows her way
around the business side of things. She's our official product tester and may even pop up with an
article or two.
