Yeah, leave, stop playing, don’t give good feedback. We also do a sharp AH noise when pushing them off - not a scary/mean shout, just enough of an attention grab that they learn that we mean “don’t do that”.
My cats like attacking little wriggly things - feet are very good little wriggly things. When they were young they didn’t connect them as part of me, so always were attacking. Still have to be careful sticking my feet out from the covers after 3 years, every couple of weeks I still get a pounce.
That’s gonna get real annoying real quick, would train her out of that asap
Yeah, it already is annoying, can I ask how I’d train her not to do that? Usually when she bites me I’ll just leave.

That’s how you do it.
Why do cats do this in the first place?
I did some research when my family got her and it seems like at this kitten stage that means she wants to play with you.
