First, it was the battle of the reviewers. Now admins? Oh ho ho.

Anyway.

Review:

Since I've gone through these characters before, it shouldn't be too hard for me to analyze them again. Before I go on, though, let me explain something. The review and the battle section both count towards my final verdict. Since I didn't want to have it come down to personal preference, I chose detail of the article instead. Moving on~

In terms of personality, Tianee doesn't have as much quirks as Kiki does, with her kind character in contrast with the Faunus' incredibly eccentric behaviors. Kiki is built (although rather oddly, admittedly) for comedy. In both the backstories, they've both led a very hard life, relying on survival tactics. That factor puts them on par with each other in terms of combat experience. Kiki, however, has the potential for major future development. She is a drug addict. That in itself is quite tough to break out of. Drugs like cocaine, heroin, and tobacco (I see that Tsu has edited his article) are mostly hard to cold turkey and stay cold turkey, due to nicotine and other chemical compounds. Kikimi will surely have problems later in the future. And that in itself is enough to give Kikimi this section.

Battle:

Now for the logic. Kikimi is at a disadvantage. Why?

Two points. Firstly, Tianee is practically covered in winter clothing, which will make it hard for Kiki to predict movements with her semblance. Second of all, Tianee has mid-range capabilities with the hook form of Ocean Thorn. Kikimi is purely a melee fighter, and will be deflecting Ocean Thorn's attempts, while Tianee will stay cautiously away and continue to assault her.

However, I can see the fight inevitably getting to a melee skirmish. And to be honest, scimitars, however large they may be, are a little bit easier to wield at close range than a trident is. Tianee is able to use her semblance to dodge some attacks from Kikimi, and rush in quite close to give the Faunus a bit of a suprise, before clamping on to Kikimi's midriff and mauling her to Reginald's door. I doubt Kikimi will let it get to that extent, though.

Kikimi and Tianee are both incredibly agile, even with their weapons. However, I feel that Kikimi will win due to the slight use of her semblance and her focus on agility instead of Tianee's power.

And yet another impasse....

Huh. They're about equal in detail. Well. This is going to be hard for me to pick.

Oh, fine. Kikimi wins my vote. >.>
