Where Do People Like Us Float? (Festival Spar)

Her opponent didn't toy with their time with petty words and this was to Jupiter's favor. Standing defenses held strong as she waited for the woman to gather herself, attentive eyes watching the Elysium femme, searching for any shift. Her brow furrowed with concentration, knotting the flesh around her narrowed optics. When the change came, it was explosive, in a form that she'd been faced with many times--a head on charge--but Jupiter held her ground until she saw it: the rightward shift in the other's trajectory.

She rose up and forward on haunches in a sudden burst of energy to meet the oncoming dark woman. Back legs braced and shifted back to balance herself better against the incoming impact. Tail flagged parallel with the ground to try and hold her balance and back claws sinking into the earth to keep herself from sliding. Muscles in her chest relaxed to make the collision less damaging to her if it came. Ears remained pinned so they could not be so easily grabbed. The other woman curved her neck to her right as she advanced, head cocking to the left and teeth flashing toward Jupiter's eyes, and in response Jupiter shifted her own head forward, cocking her head to her left. She would, in this motion, try to sink her fangs into the left side of the wolf's neck and try to grab the flesh in the middle of its broad area between her teeth.

Other's attacking shoulder throw caught her by surprise. The shoulder collided harshly with the center of her chest due to her own upward rise, inflicting heavy bruising she would feel later, but it was better than her throat being caved in by the woman's possibly-lethal attack. Chest would stiffen after impact and she would try press back with every last ounce of her strength-built weight and try to pin the she-wolf's shoulder awkwardly between them, seeking to abuse its position later should it hold. The woman was built like an athlete--lithe and thin, so Jupiter hoped that it wouldn't be too awfully difficult to overpower the other's push.

Breath left her slightly from the impact and pain flashed through her left temple at the same time--the lass' top teeth had grazed across her knotted brow and found the left side of her forehead (right between her chipped ear and her eye) and bottom incisors had landed on the back left edge of her bottom jaw. Both shallowly pierced her flesh but there was a potential for deeper wounds if the other tried to apply pressure. Air returned to her in the form of a sharp, instinctive, and inward hiss at the pain and she regained her focus quickly.

Simultaneous with her rise upwards was the rise of her paws. Front legs were flung upwards to try and latch around the slightly-shorter woman's neck, aiming to grip her left paw at the top of the other's right shoulder blade and her right paw at the nape of her neck. She would seek to cling to the woman in this manner. This would cause the other's attempt to hook her left leg out from under her to fail, having been made under the assumption that she would merely hold her ground on all fours.

defenses: weight upon her back legs, tail parallel with ground for balance, toes splaying, back claws sinking into the ground. brow knotted, eyes narrowed, chest muscles softened for the blow (based on, for example, someone tensed up when they hit the ground [if they're flung from a car in a car crash or something of the like] will do a lot more damage to their body than someone relaxing) and then tensing afterwards. ears pinned back to try and keep them from getting grabbed easily. the movement of her head forward in her attack on d?gmar's neck spares her left eye. her legs rising upwards causes d?gmar's attempt at a hook to miss because it was made on the assumption that her front left leg would stay on the ground.

attacks: rises up on back legs to meet d?gmar's charge, pushing her own greater body weight forward. her neck cocks to the left to try and sink her teeth into the middle area of d?gmar's neck, trying to close her jaws on the flesh there. paws are attempting to wrap around the woman's neck to cling tightly to her. her pressing forward is also an attempt to make use of d?gmar pushing her left shoulder forward by pinning it between their colliding chests.

injuries: heavy bruising to chest, skin-piercing incisions on her temple and the left edge of her lower jaw (right at the apex/outside of the bone) where d?gmar's teeth are gripping her face (further damage pending).
