Tao
"You cannot help what you are, but you are mistaken about your usefulness. When you give it thought, you will realize that you have an advantage over us all. Excuse me a moment."
Tao realized that she had the advantage over this attacker, as the were-tiger did not know that she was more than just a wolf.
When she leaped from the tree branch, her attention was fully on Liam, and that was when Tao shifted into her other form.
Speaking a word to the ground caused the foliage at Nanashi's feet to tangle themselves around her ankles, holding her tight.
When Nanashi attempted to spring after the fallen Liam, she discovered she was held. She slashed downward to untangle herself, but the foliage grabbed at her wrists. Being off-balance in this form, she shifted to true tiger shape once again, and bit at the bindings that held her bound.
Tao watched on, her spell lasting as long as she kept a visual watch over the one she meant to keep held.
