Summary:
Weiss is the daughter of former Lightning Car driver Sara Hockenheim, a driver well-documented for her tenacious, unrelenting racing style. She is incredibly prideful of herself, and is unwilling to admit weakness nor seek help, not even from her mother. Weiss wasn't even really pushed into racing by her mother, either. She was strongly influenced by her mother's career choice; Weiss thought that racers were a strong, independent kind of person, and she wanted to be just like that.
Weiss started karts as early as six years old, though she wasn't actually racing until she turned eight. Even on days where she wasn't out on the track, Weiss turned her parents' backyard into a makeshift kart circuit all of its own. This determination to dominate her competitors quickly translated into numerous decisive victories early in Weiss' career. Fast forward to 2014, where she became the youngest American Formula C series driver ever... and also won the league on her debut season. This angered quite a few drivers, most notably Michael Hoshi, who couldn't believe a prepubescent girl was even capable of those abilities.
Just to rub it in Hoshi's face even further in 2015, she did double duty in both the American F-C league and the US Clubsport GT championship entirely to spite him. She succeeded and gave Hoshi (among other drivers) yet another through beating. However, just winning constantly didn't really satisfy Weiss. She was, after all, still funded by her parents. Hoping to break away from the accusations that she was just a very well-funded member of "Mommy's MasterFund Motorsports", she seeks a GRL seat to prove her self-worth.
Roleplaying Notes:
- Weiss Hockenheim puts a lot of emphasis on self-worth and the theme of "proving yourself". She's not the type who wants to admit that her teammates, friends, family, or anyone but herself are the reasons why she's as successful as she is.
- Weiss is so bent on not getting help, that she views people who use their status to elevate themselves with a lot of disdain; pretty ironic considering who her mother is.
- Despite seeming cold and calculated, she uses her outward demeanor to shield away her insecurities. She has trouble in day-to-day social situations, and seems to go through her press interviews as if she was reading straight off of a script.
- Even though her racing history suggests she's American (and kind of is), Weiss was born in Germany, and prefers her nationality be listed as such.
- She thinks Michael's 'natural talent' is a load of horse crap, and holds a pretty big grudge against him for it.
