Preliminary Favorite Sekiro Boss Poll
This poll is to eliminate one, as they're technically the same boss. Despite this, the fights differ enough to warrant ruling out one.

Oh she was an actual boss.
I was so mad at myself for being stuck at a miniboss this whole time, her difficulty feels a lot more fair now.
I found a rhythm that I actually really liked as long as I was able to keep up with it, similar to fighting Lady Butterfly again, but it was pretty easy to fall out of unfortunately. It was kinda like the Armored Warrior on the bridge, where I was trying to dodge her swings too early.
So, I'd start off with strikes against her posture until it was clear she was going to attack back, I paced my dodges better with her strikes and tried to recognize when the rhythm of a swing was going to get changed up on the next strike. Sometimes I was able to just dodge under her whole 5 circular spins attack, too, which gave me a good line of attack at her health, and even better if instead of trying to face me again immediately her AI wanted her to run around me to reposition for another type of attack. Then it was just parrying when she was jumping at me with a swing instead of a strike, and when she was doing a swing to put a large amount of distance between us.
But, again, easy enough (eventually) for me to see and know what I should respond with, hard for my hands to keep up with the rhythm and intake of information, so I fall out of the dance and start taking damage before I can get back into place. So after hours of trying to get that figured out, I've been spending hours getting stuck at this point with her health.
Even if I resurrect the rhythm is thrown off and I die quickly anyway.
Then I was getting her down to another quarter of health.
By this point it's been nearly 6 hours straight and my hands really hurt, so, even though I felt bad about it, after another resurrect with her health at the same place I've had it at for a while now I decided to try and see if the stunning methods would work finally or if I was just going to waste resources. And, amazingly, that really was pretty much all that I needed to take down the rest of her health. I used up all my fireworks, and two snap seeds.
Thanks again @whyyouacknsocraycray for letting me know about the snap seeds, if I ended up dying again when she had that small amount of health left I'd-
Hoo.
