ooc: I SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG. MY FIGHT MUSE SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED. Thanks for being so patient <3

Athena waited patiently for an opponent and she would not be disappointed. A darker hued woman approached her and with very little introduction the woman prepared her defenses. Athena smirked at her bluntness. It was just as well, they were clearly both here to fight. Athena followed her lead, settling into her defenses with practiced ease. Her paws set evenly beneath her, knees bending slightly for ease of movement, toes splaying and claws digging into the soil for balance. Her ears folded back against her skull and eyes narrowed while her lips pulled up in a snarl, exposing her teeth. Her head dipped down to cover her throat and her shoulders rolled forward, hackles raising her scruff bunching up around her neck. Lastly her muscles would tense and her tail would fan out behind her laying level with her spine to help with her balance as she prepared to move to react to the woman's first attack.

The smaller woman would apparently launch herself at Athena and the Queen would brace herself, tensing her muscles to take the blow. With such a size difference Athena wasn't afraid of her knocking her over and she liked to have her opponents in close so she would take whatever bruising this caused. She leaned into the darker woman's attack as she seemed to leap upward to wrap her forelegs around Athena's neck. She felt her opponent's chest hit the lower part of her own and knew there would probably be at least some light bruising there, but she recognized the fact that the woman would have similar bruising on her own chest as well. She felt the woman's paws hit her shoulder blades, but with her height and her already bent knees on her side the attack probably didn't have its full intended effect. Athena merely let her knees take the impact, bending slightly under the impact. Out of all the attacks it was the bite that hit home more than the others. While she leaned her head away from the woman in an attempt to avoid her teeth the move failed. She felt the older woman's teeth graze her skin, causing a series of shallow teeth marks along the top and bottom parts of her cheek. Athena growled lowly in response, the small wounds stinging as blood stained her fur.

Athena leaned her weight forward into her opponent, pressing her chest back against hers. She took a step forward, hoping to knock the woman off balance while, at the same time, her right foreleg lifted to hook around the lower part of the woman's neck, almost over her shoulder. If she was able to get her foreleg around her Athena would push down hard with her foreleg as she shoved her weight forward to hopefully knock the older woman onto the ground. If she was successful she could immediately aim to press her left paw into the side of the woman's neck, hoping to hold her down and impede her breathing at the same time. Whether Athena was successful in any of these moves or not, she would lunge forward, keeping her knees bent so that she had plenty of freedom of movement, and would aim to latch her jaws onto the woman's left shoulder. Her goal wasn't to majorly tear the woman's flesh, but to just grip her shoulder lightly to make it harder for her to move and to cause some discomfort.
