[ This is who she should've been to begin with. The one others came to test their strength against, who had crushed delinquents and stopped wandering magical girls in their tracks in a collected manner, not getting lost in her own head. Karin lost herself a long time ago, and every time she let her anger get the better of her, she couldn't win.
Even now, she'd be lying if she wasn't thinking about how frustratingly tough this armor was. Something she'd have to either break through or shatter completely if she's going to win. Both seem impossible at the moment.
But...
She'd already chipped away at the armor, in a way. Karin had nearly, completely erased the image that Fauna might have had of her when she couldn't stop taunting and prodding. She'd worked to gain trust, to give Fauna something to smile over. Fauna deserved so much better than she was getting, deserved better than the family that she had, and better than being someone else's flunky.
Fauna deserved happiness.
If it's slow and hard to move in, then there was one clear path to victory. Karin had to knock her off of her feet. Meaning, she'd have to change tactics a little. Putting distance between them... before she builds up more steam in her legs, and charges. This'll suck, she's sure, but... she'll have to attempt a body check, something substantially stronger in order to at least throw off Fauna's balance. To make her unsteady enough to get her down. ]
