Basanti vs Mercy

 
Her opponent would come to stand before her, nodding her pale crown in acknowledgement. Her opponents defenses fell into place, mimicking her own defenses that remained locked in place. Her eyes were narrowed, hackle raised, ears pinned against her skull, her crown was level with her spine, chin tucked against her throat, shoulders rolled forward, neck scrunched, legs spread equidistant and bent at the joint. Her tail was aligned with her spine, toes splayed, claws dug into the ground and her weight was evenly distributed. Dark lips peeled back into a snarl, exposing fangs and pushing more skin around her eyes as her jaws unhinged to remain open and waiting.

The girl would rush forward, and the dark girl remained still, allowing her to close the distance between them. At the last minute, the pale warrior would rear up before her, her ivory left foreleg snapping up towards her dark face. Due to her defenses, and her chin being tucked, her opponents attempted collision with the underside of her jaw missed, instead the Dauphin would seek to grab a hold of the pale warriors left foreleg, just around the ankle, as jaws were already open and waiting. She was hoping to obtain a grasp so that she could keep the smaller warrior on her hind legs. As she sought to grab a hold of her opponents left foreleg, her crown had tipped to her left so that her top jaw could aim to connect with inner side of her opponents left foreleg, while lower jaws sough to connect with the outer side of the foreleg. Immediately following, hind legs would bend and seek to shove her larger frame forward, wanting her chest to connect with her opponents chest, she hoped that the movement would cause the pale girl to tumble backwards and onto her back. Pain would flare across her scruff as Mercy's fang sank into her, however, due to her seeking to push forward, Mercy's fangs would land several inches lower on her scruff, leaving behind moderate puncture wounds.

When fangs pierced her flesh, her right foreleg would seek to leave the ground, her weight immediately redistributing evenly across her remaining limbs, while her right foreleg sought to extend forward, seeking to swipe at her opponents left hind leg, just at her hock, wanting to disrupt her opponents balance and send her toppling to the ground.
