"I tell by actually watching fight scenes. Those show how skilled characters really are other than statements."

Yeah I see your point. Although one problem is that sometimes it's impossible to make a character look exactly like they're that experiencd in combat because we have may have never seen someone in real life with fighting experience that good and maybe it's impossible for someone like that to exist in real life. Like for example, The Crystal Gems from Steven Universe have over 5,000 years worth of fighting experience. The way they fight isn't going to be 100% accurate to someone with that much fighting experience because nobody in real life lives that long so you can't use how someone with that much fighting experience for reference. But, you could at least try to make them look as experienced in combat as possible and yeah overexaggerate it a bit too like what they do in anime.

I haven't written every single fight scene that every character who Carrie scales to yet. Only the fight scenes that Owena and Carrie (This Carrie) has been in. I'll mention a couple of feats that could be skill related. (Although I just wanna let you know that Donnie's name has been changed to Sparkie).

1. One time when Owena was smashing the A&M Faction with walls (Y'know the cylinder move that she uses), Sparkie was able to quickly leap out, sliced through the multiple walls with her own whip, created another whip in order to grab them all and then tossed them at Owena.

2. She also used her own whip to quickly to grab Corstein's ghosts (which fire rapidly like gattling machine guns) while also setting up a glass shield multiple times in order to block off some of the ghosts preventing them from htting her. Some of the ghosts managed to get one hit on Sparkie before she even got the chance to grab them with her whip or block them off with a shield. But most of the ghosts got either blocked off or tossed by the whip.

3. One time Sparkie was getting attacked by all five of Carrie's dogs and they were like piling on her basically. Even in that situation, she was still able to set up her shield, push one of them out of the way and then just leap out of it. The dogs leaped towards her too, but she just used her whip to slice right through them before they landed on the 2nd floor. Although that could mainly be related to speed as well, which isn't exactly relevant here because speed is equal here.

Also wanna mention that they only block attacks with their shields just in case you haven't noticed which is even more effective than blocking it with a sword or possibly even any shield that soldiers have ever used historically. Well, besides the fact that the shields can only stay up for ten seconds and then can't be set up again for another ten seconds. But this is why canines only have their shields up for so long most of the time.
