Eh?!
; Umm...okay...here's some more detail coming your way:
the particular Ninjatô Xakiah uses:
-the hand guard is made of steel and carved into a Celtic circle pattern
-the handle is covered with a simple black cloth and is long enough to fit both of her hands with ample space in between
-the scabbard (sheath) is made of solid black leather
-the blade is 22 inches long
---metal is constructed of Orchalcum+ (but looks like solid steel)
---the flat part has the name of the blade on the side (影の中心- kage no kokoro, or “shadow heart”)
---to add to its “average” appearance, the blade starts out grey but ends in a frost tip at the edge
---the blade is mostly straight, but has a slight hint of a curve to it (which makes the speed at which it can be drawn substantially faster than a katana)
-in addition to its physical capabilities, when Xakiah infuses her power into the blade it’s capable of destroying any illusion (with the added effect of negating the caster’s attempts of doing it again for the next 24 hours), negate enemy efforts to escape via the dark passages (but that’s only when she’s truly out for blood…which actually isn’t that often), and create a black hole (an ability that she uses ONLY as a last result due to the strain on her power; this will be discussed more later)
here are some of the other things I mentioned in her profile with regards to her cloths and what they’re for:
---White Celtic Cross (embroidered on her shirt) is a charm against anything that would wish to rob her of her spirit. It also serves as a battery of sorts, absorbing a little of her power to act as a backup in case of an emergency situation
---the Silver Chain accessory that hangs at her waist contains several charms (nine total). Here’s what they are individually:
------Labyrinth Maze charms (2) to make it difficult for those who trespass into her consciousness difficult to both find out her secrets and to completely control her (note: I didn’t say “impossible”)
------Triskele charm to act as an inhibitor in case her powers spiral out of control (unfortunately, this can only be activated by someone else whose managed to gain her trust)
------Red Dragon charms (3) are symbols of her life as an assassin within King Arthur’s court (the Red Dragon of Briton is the symbol of the Pendragon family) and grant her instant passage into any part of Avalon whenever she desires it
------Wheel charm to locate what she’s looking for (which, again, is classified! XD )
------Lover’s Knot charm which acts as a portable contract if split in half and shared with another person (obviously, Xakiah’s is still whole. Besides, it only works if BOTH parties agree with the terms of the deal)
------Clauddagh charm which makes the Triskele charm possible to activate (otherwise Xakiah would have to openly acknowledge that said-person was there. We all know how possible THAT is…)
Sorry if this looks a little choppy. All of this comes from my own personal records of Xakiah's profile which is scattered into four separate documents. Hope this helps anyway! ^_^
