Saturday GLOWcase: Cheyenne Cher: The Empowering Indian Princess and Cheerleader of GLOW Seasons 3 & 4

Continuing with Native American Heritage Month, this weeks Saturday GLOWcase features the Indian Princess of Season 3 and 4 of GLOW, Cheyenne Cher.

In the colorful and over-the-top world of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (GLOW), Cheyenne Cher, played by the talented Dee Walker, made her debut as the new Indian Princess after Little Feather left the show before season 3 began. Cheyenne Cher brought a blend of speed, agility, and cultural pride to the ring, captivating audiences with her powerful performances and charismatic personality.

Much like Little Feather, Cheyenne Cher's character was based on a stereotypical symbol of Native Americans. While it could be considered a caricature, Cheyenne Cher continued to serve as a symbol of empowerment and representation for Native American women. Her storylines often highlighted themes of resilience and determination, with opponents referencing oppression and exploitation of her people. Despite this, her character was not as much of a "jobber" as Little Feather though her first televised match, she did get a beat down and a splash down from Big Bad Mama.

In addition to her portrayal as the replacement Indian Princess, Cheyenne Cher became one half of the cheerleader tag team duo during seasons 3 and 4, teaming up with Vicky Victory after Debbie Debutante left the show. This dynamic duo brought new energy to the ring, combining athleticism with the spirit of cheerleading. Cheyenne Cher was the stronger of the two, allowing the cheerleaders to hold their own as a tag team, much to the delight of fans.

During the season 3 finale, Cheyenne Cher "won" the GLOW crown due to interference from Roxy Astor in a match with Godiva, and somehow, she held the title throughout season 4 until Daisy defeated her during the series finale. The legacy of Cheyenne Cher continues to be celebrated by GLOW fans, reminding us of the power of representation and the impact of strong, diverse characters in media. Cheyenne Cher will always be remembered as a character who brought pride and strength to the ring, leaving a lasting legacy for future generations of GLOW fans.
