Misha would make her way to the battlefield, the female never even coming close to this barren land. But, she had to prove herself to Tortuga more than just being a potential babysitter for the pups. No, she wanted to prove herself to the pack, to Qanik, to Roman. With those thoughts in her mind, she would give a determined nod of her head, sinking down onto her haunches on the land of the battlefield. The brown woman would tilt her crown back, calling for anyone who wished to spar. Hopefully it woould be an inexperienced, smaller contestant for the small woman to fight, for she had never fought anyone.

Signy Lassair After the challenge, after Erani had been defeated and before anyone had recovered from their shock enough to remember her, before she could get in trouble for sneaking in to watch, Signy had snuck away. It was disappointing she didn't get to say goodbye to her tiger but after Erani had treated her like a baby and sent her off to sit with the stupid antlerless moose animals she wasn't really in the mood to hang around long enough to get in even more trouble. She had mostly wandered since, uncertain where her mother and siblings were, but her hunting techniques had improved and she had added lots of small animals to her diet on her own. She'd made it back to Valhalla, but there'd been no sign of her family and the border had reeked of different wolves and the scent change was... scary. So she'd wandered. She had managed to find her way back to the place that had changed everything, and after some judicious observation had come to the conclusion that this was where everyone came when they wanted to fight people. Now even as she observed two wolves who didn't even seem to know each other squaring off in... a practice fight? ... she heard a call ring out. Someone was calling for anyone to come and fight them, and the wildfire that was Signy rose in excitement. She could answer call and fight them. She wasn't scared of a fight! The small wolf bounded to her oversized paws and scurried off in that direction in a flurry of dirt and grass. But on coming upon the other wolf, Signy was shocked. The wolf was so small! Well, she was still a good solid ten or so inches taller than Signy, but that was considerably less than the pup - solitary for so long during her most rapid growth periods - had expected. "Hey!" she called out, "I'll fight you!" She dropped halfway into a crouch that was far more hunter than fighter, her black-tipped nearly-black tail stilled as though she were stalking a squirrel. Fighting couldn't be that much different. She even fluffed her silky fur out and pinned her ears to show the other wolf she was serious.

Misha would look up when she would hear the sound of oversized pawteps bouncing towards her. Misha's sapphire blue orbs would land on a small black pup. Gold rimmed her eyelids, a darker color around her eyes. A small giggle would escape the brown woman's ebony lips as the pup even crouched. "You want to spar with me, little one?" She would ask in a somewhat serious tone, crouching as well, copying the small female pup, sticking her butt in the air. "Well darling, I give you the first move," Misha would say, getting up from her crouched position, sprawling her limbs out evenly for balance. Her claws gripped the barren land for traction, her ears pinned against her skull, the brown woman tucking her chin against her chest, protecting her throat. Her eyes were narrowed and her tail sprang out behind her, aligned with the woman's spine. Her muscles tensed, core ready for action. Her hackles would raise, and her maw would open, ivory fangs were bared at the small pup.

FIGHT
Misha vs. Signy for spar
Round: 0/3
Attacks; none, giving Signy the first move.
Defenses; limbs splayed out for balance, claws gripping for traction, ears pinned against her skull, chin tucked against chest to protect throat, tail aligned with spine for more balance, muscles tensed, ready to act upon attack. Hackles raised and teeth bared.
Extra notes; Come at me, bro. xD

Signy could not contain the wiggle of excitement that shook her when the older female actually agreed to fight her. A fierce light lit her bright green eyes as the pup got down to business. She dropped into a hunting crouch, all she knew to do, with her weight distributed evenly and lightly and her joints loose and slightly bent. Her tail was held level for balance, as was her small head. Her hackles were raised to mimic her adult opponent, her ears pinned back though they wanted to spring forward in excitement. The first move was offered to her, and Signy took it. She pounced forward, over-enthusiastically attempting to close the distance head-on. Her slight weight was thrown toward Misha as she reared, trying to strike her chest-to-chest despite the size difference. Oversized paws scrabbled in a digging motion toward Misha's shoulders, left paw to Misha's right and right paw to Misha's left, small blunt claws attempting to scrape and scratch. Signy's head twisted to her left as her small jaws and equally small teeth aimed a bite at the side of Misha's neck as high as Signy could reach. She wanted to grip and hold with stubborn tenacity as she would when hunting, not yet understanding the value of slashing bites for someone her size. Signy vs Misha for spar Round 1/3 Defenses: first paragraph Attacks: attempting to strike chest-to-chest, forepaws scratching at shoulders, gripping bite aimed to left side of neck as high as she can reach OOC: It's really weird to write someone who has absolutely no training after sparring with Hati and Loki and Qanik so much lol.

{OOC; *Fights with her dog to see how this is going down, but secretly fails because Max doesn't wanna play fight*}
She would watch the black pup as she would play out her defenses. Her body would scream hunter as she would launch herself at Misha, paws scratching the nape of the brown woman's neck as her small claws tried to get a grip. She felt like a piece of prey as Signy would nip the left side of her neck, trying to get a powerful bite grip. Her small jaws would scrape against the brown woman's neck, claws still attempting to grip something behind her neck.
Misha would swing her head back and forth, attempting to loosen the small hunter's grip from her neck. If the pup weren't to move her head, Misha would give a hard smack to the pup's head with her own. Misha would lift her body up a bit as well when she swung her head, trying to "buck" the pup off of her.
FIGHT
Misha vs. Signy for spar
Round 1/3
Defenses; Swinging her head, trying to pull away from Signy's grip. Lifting herself up a bit, furthermore still attempting to "buck" Signy off.
Attacks; Swinging/thrashing her head also in an attack to hit Signy if she doesn't move, Singy's head will be collided with Misha's, a hard hit to the head.
Extra notes; You sort of put Misha in a weird position, so I wasn't sure what to do/how to have her react. :P

Signy Lassair Signy's grip would be gained, and a growl of triumph muffled by fur issued from the pup as she clung. Her footing adjusted as her tail lashed to keep her balanced. Toes dug in as she attempted to push forward, wanting to shove her larger opponent, but then... Suddenly her head was ringing, and she was sitting back on her haunches with no idea where her mouthful of fur had gone, weaving drunkenly. A quick shake of the head brought clarity - her opponent had hit Signy in the head and knocked her momentarily silly, but Signy was quick to reset what defenses she thought to do - lowering her center of gravity, evenly distributing her weight lightly over all four feet, her joints bent and loose. Her ears, still ringing slightly, pressed back against her aching skull as her hackles rose and her eyes narrowed in concentration. This time when Signy attacked as jaws darted out she was aiming lower, trying to latch on to Misha's left foreleg at the elbow, trying to enclose the whole front bend within her jaws, muzzle to the inside of the leg and lower jaw to the outside.

She was taken by surprise when the small black pup had charged at her and wrapped it's jaws around Misha's left foreleg around her elbow area. She would let a surprised whine escaped her ebony lips, a hint of pain in the soft whine. She would growl and snap her jaw closed on Signy's scruff, thrashing her head around with the pup in her jaws. She would do this, in attempt to get the grip out of the pup's jaw- or at least loosen it up. The brown woman would sprawl her weight evenly on all fours, sticking her tail straight out for balance, digging her claws into the ground as she would get traction, continuing to thrash the pup around in her jaws. Her eyes narrowed, and her ears pinned against her skull. FIGHT Misha vs. Signy for spar Round 2/3 Defenses; Distributing her weight evenly/sprawling her weight out on all four paws. Claws gripping the ground for traction, eyes narrowed, ears pinned against skull for any unexpected attacks. Tail sticking straight out for balance. Attacks; Jaws snapping closed on Signy's scruff, Misha would try and thrash the pup around, attempting to at least loosen her grip from Misha's leg. Extra notes; No mercy!! Lol.

Signy's jaws closed around their target and Misha squalled in pain, but teeth closed on her scruff to pull and shake. Signy let go immediately this time, letting herself be pulled away and onto her hindlegs as she swung from Misha's grip. An instinctive snarl tore from the fierce pup as she tried to twist her head to her left despite the pain in her scruff where the skin and fur were pulled taut, toward the muzzle that had gripped her so painfully, and gleaming sharp ivory teeth shone as she did, attempting to slash with an eyetooth across Misha's lower left cheek. Her right forepaw came up in an attempt to shove at Misha's left shoulder as she did, trying to get more leverage as she twisted. Fur and skin tore in her scruff and Signy could drop once more, though blood leaked from the minor wound where fur had ripped away. Once more on her own four paws Signy could drop once again into a crouch with her weight evenly distributed and balanced lightly, her joints loose and slightly bent. Her hackles were raised, her ears pinned flat and her eyes narrowed in fight-fury. Her tail lashed level with her spine, her toes flexing in the dirt for grip. She was ready once again. Round 3/3 for Spar

Misha would loosen her grip when the small black pup would scratch Misha's cheek with her tooth, the act leaving Misha in pain. A few blood drops dripped from her cheek, where Signy had scratched Misha's tooth against her cheek. The pup would drop down from her grip and scurry off in front of Misha to drop down into her hunter crouch in front of Misha. She was ready for more.
Misha would ignore the blood from her cheek and get in a crouched position as well, immitating the small pup. Misha would run and charge at the small pup, tackling it to the ground. Misha would stand over the pup, her jaws pointing out to her throat, tail waving in the air with a sense of dominance. She kept a paw on the pups chest, pinning the small girl to the ground, jaw opened in a snarl for any further attacks, Misha would be ready.
