I love a good Sword Girl character. (As I do Witch Girl characters. And Morally Compromised But Trying To Be Good characters. Hm. Funny how this character I started reading about during my formative years embodies so many of the tropes I enjoy. Must be a coincidence.)
This is exactly what I was talking about when I wondered if Illyana was getting to be this cool as a trade-off for her stepping disks being blocked again.
I just randomly mentioned I wanted to have a weapon by my bed just in case and dad went to grab a baseball bat and couldn’t find it and out of nowhere I said “I really want a sword.” and he goes “there’s a sword around here somewhere” and hands me THIS
briefly became overwhelmed by the need to draw a couple of ladies with swords
[id: two drawings of female characters with swords. the first has pale orange hair with two thin braids holding it back; she is wearing a long dark blue tunic with a furred trim over grey sleeves and tights. she is holding a dark sword in one hand and a red-and-blue round wooden shield in the other. the second character has her dark hair gathered in two plaits falling down past her shoulders and battle scars on her bared arms and legs; she is wearing a short green tunic with pale yellow trim under a leather armour chest piece. she is wearing roman-style sandals and holds a silver sword. end id.]
