On a side note, what rank was Tabitha before? Is she actually more powerful than most of the group now, as she didn't have to release at all and still damage the AB?
Tabitha was #31 during Claire's generation. After the 7 years of training Yuma, the former #40, easily defeated the current generation's #14 so Tabitha is no pushover. However, I don't think she's on the same level as Helen and Deneve.
Feathery wings would not be difficult to cut through but it did require a sneak attack to pull it off.
