Welp, shit. Battle between the trident wielding midgit with a spoiled reindeer, and the hyperactive Drizzt wannabe-crackhead. Boy, oh boy.

Let's start it off with styles:

Tianee: Offensive, charge/stab/skewer or rip or slash. She can dodge, plus her smaller size makes it a little harder to keep track of her. A slower weapon, but there are TWO sides to it. It may be wieghted to one side, though, but her flexibility can both compensate, and be surprising. Some strange angles with a chain-trident. Low endurance, though...so that may be a problem.

Kikimi: Defensive, but oddly first strike based. A lot like Nox, to be honest. Just with veritable 'Eagle Vision'. But, if you actually look at it, it specializes in viewing muscle motions, and the like. Rusty dust gives her a speed boost not unlike a squirrel, but at that point, she's focused but...sprighty. Very, very sprighty. The Rusty Dust, though, neutralizes pain to some degree. Very agile.

Point? Both. Great style and counter style.

Weapons: Scimitars. Oh how I love the scimitars. But, problem with most dual wielders? They're used to wieght in BOTH hands. And Tianee's chain-trident can knock that sucker right out. Ranging from using the pole, to using the gaps inbetween the points, to using the chain. Three options, all really hard to avoid midswing.

Point to Tianee, for shear counterability.

Senses: Tianee has experience in hunting. As such, she's more...in tune with her senses. Kikimi has more focus with the eyes. Sure, that's great and all, especially with the degree of ocular focus...but you don't just hunt with your eyes. Hearing, touch, even smell is used. Point, Tianee.

Personality: As much as many people disregard this, it's actually a crucial factor in a fight. When it comes down to 'kill or be killed', the one who doesn't hesitate, wins. And I'm going to have to give the point to Kikimi. She's got that killer personality (Literally), and as such, Tianee's a bit of a disadvantage here.

Semblance:

Tianee: Aura Charge, as I'm gonna call it. Great, great first strike move. Absolutely beautifu, if used right. Unfortunately...it's kinda easy to tell direction. But you have to react, and sudden charges are a bit...hard to use.

Kikimi: Ah, the 'Eagle Vision Wannabe' (Tsu, don't hurt me). This semblance is absolutely awesome...if you can see the person's movements through clothing. Unfortunately, heavy winter clothing is just that: Heavy. Not easy to see through, at all, which puts Kikimi at an extreme disadvantage. She'd have to focus on the eyes...which never leave the opponent. As such...

I gotta give this one to Tianee. Not because one semblance is better, but because, unfortunately for kikimi: Circumstances suck.

Final verdict: Tianee, but barely. She'd walk outta that with a few new scars...and maybe a prosthetic. And in an EM Ambulance. Heh.

Points: Tianee:3

Kikimi: 2.

Nice fight, all.
