"You will learn in time". She had always hated hearing that. Years and years of studying and she still wasn't the martial arts master she was destined to be. The Mienfoo began to search for shortcuts to expedite her training wherever she could, including taking up using weapons despite her instructors insistence that she learn to fight with her paws. Now with a bandoleer of Iron Thorns, she is on the verge of being kicked out of her monastery... but not before she uncovers the secrets that will allow her to finally stop training and start fighting.

Had a lot more fun with the backstory on this one than some of the others. I tried to show off her hasty personality through the unkempt fur on her head, but I think a lot of it fell into the writing rather than her being visually hasty.
