It had taken a chance encounter with an older senshi where the other girl risked her own life to save Ellicott and her dog. Like the chibi the older senshi had no real offensive magic it was this that helped Ellicott realize that if someone who was like her, was willing to risk her life then the least Ellicott could do was to learn how to fight as well.
Once she come to this decision Ellicott was determined to do her best and as such it meant she needed to practice, train, and fight. All of this had her sneaking out to a large empty park in the middle of a warm spring night. She had briefly contemplated contacting her friend but dismissed that idea, she really didn't want to embarrass herself any further than she already was going to.
“Sherlock, Kukaa, Kubaki” Ellicott gave the order for her Alaskan Malamute-German Shepard mix sit and stay in the shadows of the park’s trees while she began to stretch in the wide grassy clearing. The dog was her nearly constant companion and if danger appeared he would atleast give some warning.
Lithiasaur
((Because of the breed mix the dog resembles a wolf, and the orders translate roughly to sit and stay respectfully))
