[SIZE=14pt]DESCRIPTION[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]After countless hours of research and attempting to find inspiration and ideas, Kimiko saw potential in her people’s traditional long-handled swords. She exhaustingly searched for enough materials to construct a resilient and ornate hilt, along with a new crystal, and, with lots of help, her new saber was forged. The blade glows a brilliant viridian green and is matched with a green-hued Cortosis weave in the hilt.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]The interesting design allows Kimiko more room to move her hands during combat, and to practice varying techniques for its use. This extended hilt also allows her to use it in a signature ‘spear thrust’ move with one hand thrusting the entire weapon at once. Though this move can catch opponents off-guard, it can also leave the weapon and her vulnerable to counter-attack.[/SIZE]
