This is very nice, Victor. One question -- what's a barrelhouse kick?
May be being tripped up on terminology. What's the name of the kick that arcs wide out from the body. There's a spin involved.
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Victor, if they put a show together with this rev of Dawnie, I'd be cheering her on. Dayum.
There's one tense-thing and a spelling I noticed:
Three week ago, before she left England, she faced off against three young Slayers.
Week should be pluralised (typo, I bet) and the tenses are a bit off: should this be "she had faced off"? before leaving England, she had faced off? Still on first cup of coffee, so brain is wonking, but I think that's right?
And confidant - confident.
That said? GET BACK TO WORK and write more of this now, please.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's a spin involved.
Spinning roundhouse (see down page for jumping spinning roundhouse)? Tornado kick (which is a bit more involved and aerial than a spinning roundhouse, but ends with one)?

Yeah, I'd say jumping spinning is just one step beyond spinning. I wish I'd fully learned the spinning side when I was in tae kwon do (side kick = roundhouse, I think.)

I think Spinning roundhouse is what I was looking for. Thanks. It'll be changed in the edit, later!

No ... the side kick is a linear kick that's pretty much the same in most arts, where you chamber the leg by pulling the knee into your body (and your foot to your ass), and extending the leg straight out, like so. A roundhouse kick is a round kick, which is the arcing motion. Instead of pushing out and hitting with the sole (or blade) of the foot, the power of the kick comes from rotating the hips around and snapping the leg straight in a switchblade opening motion. See how the impact is from the side, instead of straight through, like the side kick?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
guh.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Man, I used to be able to do those kicks.
Lovely, Victor. Man, I'd love to see more of your Dawn.
