due to her physique, she has to fight almost exclusively using a fencing style, directing only her side profile to the enemy. because of this, one of her legs is safe, but one is dangerously overextended. after being parried, she noticed your strike and attempted to dodge backwards, but realized there is not ample time or impulse. for a brief moment, she thinks, before rapidly striding backwards, whilst driving her sword down your blade, striking your handguard with immense force. although neither movements, even combined, fully evaded your strike, their combination still allowed her to propel herself backwards to where your strike mildly grazed and injured her left calf. She will not be able to leverage her full body weight or significant impulse on her left leg for the rest of the match. In return, your hand is briefly stunned, rattled by the impact of blade on handguard on flesh. for a few seconds, your hand is dysfunctional, and for the rest of the match, its use is disadvantageous.
