Evie
He's too imposing to be graceless to most boring mortals, like seeing a celebrity stumble, but it only grants her a temporary reprieve from his onslaught.
"I used a kusarigama before I got my shield. They aren't as compatible with a single-hand style," she explains readily, digging her heels into the loam in preparation for a second attack. "Aren't spears easier to grab and use against the wielder? Or is that just a Deimos thing?" Her grin is cut by the line of her shield, but it's dimpled and playful on the half he'll be able to see.
In terms of stubborn, dogged determination, Evie has it in spades. Her heels cut tracks through the soft, moist groundcover, because Ronin's battering is still stronger than her physical defenses can contend with. Bending her knees for more center mass and stability, Evie plants her back foot and uses her front to kick the bottom of the shield from the inside to have it lurching out - sharp tip and all - to batter against Ronin's shins.

a golden cage, for all its worth and beauty
is still just a cage
