Why did you use a wrong sword? If the warrior is Asian, she should also bear an asian sword.

Is that an unspoken rule? Perhaps she stole it, or claimed it as battle spoils.
Asian swords are beautiful, but in this case I liked that the ornate handle adds more detail.

Even if she claimed it in battle, then it's historically wrong, because Europeans mostly used guns in Japan.
Also, she holds it wrong. "European" swords are never held like that.
But I understand you, the details are definitely very pretty.

I rarely aim for complete historical accuracy, since my work is mostly fantasy. But I appreciate your points. If I ever use your stock, I'll try for greater accuracy!
Thanks for your comments!
