She acted on instinct, lowering her arm, but not before its claws swiped into her skin, an attack that could have been a lot worse for her. She cried out, more in shock than in pain, but didn't let that stop her as she moved to flip backwards out of its reach, trying for an arching kick along the way.

"It'll take a lot more than that!" She didn't have as much power, but she wouldn't go down so easily.
