MAEA
As Tal stepped in closer, Maea's kick caught on his leg and came away harmlessly. Rather fittingly, the Ancient woman moved like a cat. Flexible and unafraid of twisting in unconventional ways, she tried to read the flow of their movements so that she never lost her balance entirely. It was a way of fighting that sacrificed strength in favor of flexibility, which was just as well when facing opponents that overpowered her anyway.
When the elbow came flying towards her chin she dropped her torso backwards, intending to tumble away over hands and feet. But she wasn't fast enough. The graze of force impacting with the side of her face sent her reeling. She landed on her ass, vision flickering unsteadily, and rolled instinctively out of reach.
She needed a moment before she could get back up with her hands held up to guard her face and throat. Widened pupils darkened her eyes and she flashed Talyson a blood-lined grin; a split lip was a cheap price for underestimating him. Deciding that she needed to test how much protection that vest of his really afforded him, she copied his move. Approaching from the side, Maea feigned a fast jab to his face before spinning and sending a hard knee straight for solar plexus.
Having a tail really made it easier to twist like this. She had picked up a preference for acrobatic fighting and kicks early on, and it was still a work in progress to regain a sense for it, after gaining horns and a newlimb that threw her center of gravity off kilter. But this felt good. Even if she couldn't get through, even if her impact remained weak, all her years of collecting techniques and honing basics was beginning to pay off.
Maea's fighting style resembles taekwondo, for reference.
