katherine(D) Vs Tomoe - A spiral

[Blade ocs]

Tomoe was in the break of a spiral. not having to be able to win a single match on her own. She had her debut win, but that's it. Things have been getting ot her mind. She is handling a new roster member. She thinks that since she knew she could win this, up to clean up her negativity. She needs this win. She can't get beaten up and lose again. She NEEDS THIS!



Tomoe goes out to the stage and does a big wave to everyone. She goes to walk down the ramp with pumping a amr in the air. She does to the outside of the ring and rolls inside the ring. She does a jump with a. Foot in the air a few times, and then she goes to her concert. She goes to wait for her opponent.t


she trying to think what she knows about Katherine. She read up on her, but it was a fast read. Seems like she is athletic and fast, needs to see how capable she is,s but is it safe to go THAT approach! however may she shouldn;t dissmiss it, or maybe she should. well she will see how it goes first. she has to be fast with her strikes at the very least

Katherine Gillingham

Katherine bursts onto the stage, a bright grin plastered across her face. She’s bouncing slightly on her heels, eyes sparkling with a mix of nerves and excitement. Tonight was her debut and she was gonna make sure everyone knows her name by the end of it! Without proper wrestling gear yet, she’s chosen her old gymnastics leotard—bright and colorful, a little flashy, but it feels like “her.”

“Okay… okay… I can do this! Just… be fast, be smart, and… smile!” she mutters to herself, taking a deep breath, then waves enthusiastically to the crowd.

She jogs down the ramp, giving a small jump and a twirl for the audience, clearly showing off her athletic flair, even if a bit unpolished. Once at the ring, she pauses, bouncing lightly on the balls of her feet, and waves one last time before hopping over the ropes and landing nimbly inside.

“Hi, Tomoe! Ready to… um… have some fun?” she says brightly, cheeks slightly flushed but full of determination, her stance light and springy, ready to move at a moment’s notice. So excited she didn’t even noticed the ref trying to get her attention to move to the corner so that Kat can get checked out before the match starts.

“Opps…sorry…” I little embarrassed, she walks over to her corner, having the ref do an inspection which she passed. Afterwards the ref moved away, allowing for Kat to get some much needed stretching before their match began.

Tomoe was taken aback a bit. She thought she would have more confidence. she nevrous. She sees it. Maybe she can turn things around, since that is the case with her. She can maybe use that to her advantage. "Yes...let's have some fun," she replied.

BELL RINGS

Tomoe went to walk towards Kat, that lead up to a jog, then asprintt. She then ran at her, going for a jump kick to her torso to make her stumble, well ,ll try tSheshe wants to gauge how sturdy she is, so she will await her response if it lands.

[The_Queen]

Katherine’s smile flickers just a bit when Tomoe agrees—but she straightens up anyway, rolling her shoulders and keeping light on her feet. “Y-yeah! Fun!”

BELL RINGS

Kat hops in place once, twice—then her eyes widen as Tomoe suddenly closes the distance fast.“W-Whoa—!” At the last second, Katherine twists her body sideways, narrowly dodging the jump kick as it slices through the space where her torso had been. The rush of air still makes her stumble half a step, but her gymnast instincts kick in immediately.

Using Tomoe’s forward momentum, Kat plants her hands on the mat and snaps her legs up in a quick handspring-style recoil, popping back to her feet behind Tomoe. “Too slow—! I mean—sorry—!”

Without giving herself time to second-guess, Kat lunges forward and swings a quick snap kick toward Tomoe’s lower back/side, aiming more to knock her off balance than to overpower her—testing herself just as much as her opponent.

[Blade ocs]

"Don't get cocky," Tomoe said. That is rich coming from her thiugh since she had a cocky mindset before. She better practice what she preaches.

She saw Kat save herself from her own tumble. She got hit by her kick. It made her go forward, but she caught herself. It's going to take more than that.

Tomeo went to return the favor by sending a roundhouse kick to Kat. As retailing. If that Miss Tomoe would get close to lunch, several punches at Kat's face

[The_Queen]

Despite her kick, Katerine was expecting a counter to be coming back so soon. Tomoe’s roundhouse comes in fast. Kat reacts on instinct, hopping back and twisting her shoulders to slip away, but she’s a beat too slow. The shin clips her ribs and upper arm, the impact jolting a sharp gasp out of her as she stumbles sideways toward the ropes.

“Ah—!”

Before Tomoe can fully close in, Kat ducks low and darts forward instead of straight back, the follow-up punches mostly whiffing past her head, though one glancing shot brushes her cheek, snapping her head to the side. She winces, shaking it off as she keeps moving, refusing to stay planted.

Using the ropes to steady herself for just a second, Kat pushes back out, breathing hard but still on her feet, hands up again.

[Blade ocs]

Tomoe walks to her again. She goes for a jog to get to her side. Something like this, she thinks, may not work out, but she needs it, so she thinks it will. It's pretty simple, but she wants to stun her.

Tomoe tries to go for a kitchen sink (?). Deep knee to the stomach). She hopes this will work to stun Kt. After that, if it worked, she would use a clothesline from behind to knock her down onto the mat.

She has been coming up with new ideas on how to best her opponents rather than her standard stuff. Well, maybe it isn't, but she has been thinking of doing more combo-like moves.

[The_Queen]

Katherine sees Tomoe closing in and tries to pivot away, feet shuffling as she turns—but she’s just a fraction too late.

“Ahh—!”

Tomoe’s knee drives up into Kat’s stomach, not clean enough to fold her completely, but hard enough to knock the breath out of her. Kat doubles over instinctively, a sharp cough escaping her as her hands fly to her midsection. She staggers forward a step, trying to straighten up, still clearly stunned, when Tomoe surges in behind her. Kat barely has time to turn her head before the clothesline crashes across her upper chest and shoulders, snapping her backward and sending her down onto the mat with a thud.

Katherine lands flat on her back, arms spreading out as she exhales hard, blinking up at the lights, chest rising and falling quickly. “Ow that—totally hurt…,” she mutters under her breath, already rolling slightly to one side, clearly hurt but not out, forcing herself to keep moving before Tomoe can press the advantage

[Blade ocs]

"Well yes, that hurts. They don't care much for wrestlers' safety since they have so many bodies," Tomoe told her.



As she was getting back up. Tomoe positions herself. Knees bent and ready to strike. When Kat gets up fully, Tomoe would go for her next attack. A superkick to Kat's face.



Tomoe sees that she doesn't have much experience with pain. Maybe she's bullying, but she can't really tell. So far she has been missing her windows to avoid attacks, so she is not THAT fast. Which is good because it makes it easier to land blows to her body.

[The_Queen]

Katherine groans, still wincing from the previous blows as she pushes herself up, wobbling slightly on her feet. “Ugh… okay… focus…” She mumbles to herself as she finishes centring herself.

Tomoe crouches, knees bent, and then launches a high superkick straight toward Kat’s face. Kat’s eyes widen for a split second, but her gymnast instincts kick in. Instead of retreating, she pivots sharply to the side, spinning around Tomoe’s incoming leg while keeping her own balance.

“Ahh—!” a startled grunt escapes her as she maneuvers around the swing, keeping close to Tomoe’s leg.

Kat’s hands shoot out and grab Tomoe’s kicking leg mid-air, clutching it firmly. Using her momentum and Tomoe’s extended leg, she pulls herself closer, sliding her body slightly to destabilize her opponent.

She drops into a low crouch, pulling Tomoe’s leg toward her and twisting it just enough to make Tomoe off-balance, giving Kat the chance to set her up for a potential ankle lock.
