La Vaquerita (Spanish for "The Little Cowgirl"; born May 16, 1978 in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico) is the ring name of a Mexican luchadora enmascarada, or masked female professional wrestler currently working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) portraying a ruda ("bad girl") wrestling character. La Vaquerita's real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans. She was the first holder of the Lucha POP Women's Championship and made her debut for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) in late 2012.
La Vaquerita became interested in lucha libre by pure chance, passing by Arena Coliseo in her native Guadalajara, Jalisco she noticed that they had female wrestlers on the card and became interested. She went to renowned wrestling trainer Diablo Velasco who lived in Guadalajara and got accepted into his wrestling school. According to Vaquerita she was the last female wrestler to be trained by Diablo Velasco before he retired in 1997. She began working as a professional wrestler in 1993 at the age of only 16, as she was a last minute replacement when wrestler Miss Janeth was injured and the promoter was a woman short for the show. Even after her debut she continued her training under Velasco when she was not booked on shows. Initially she worked under the ring name Gypsy, an enmascarada (masked) character. Later on she would adopt the ring name "Alaska" as she worked primarily in and around Guadalajara. At one point during either her time as Gypsy or Alaska she took an extended sabbatical from wrestling to have a child.
