Suggested by @shadowviper-92 , I did Vaggie next and turned her into a moth, specifically an angel moth (or as close as I could get marking-wise), which for reasons is quite fitting.

I think I know who I'm going to do next later on, so stay tuned for them to come sooner or later!

The Milan Sword has a hot-peen construction that melds the blade and hilt together at the pommel and gives this sword a very strong and lasting hilt construction. The crossguard and pommel are crafted from steel with an antiqued finish and the grip is carved from Poplar and tightly bound in leather to complete the sword.

Challenge #03694-J041: Let Our Motto be Broadcast

"Why do you have THAT many weapons on your walls?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Isn't it a bit .... overkill?"

"Nah, I just really like all these pretty sharp things."

"Are they actually useful?"

"When have you ever seen me without a blade during an emergency?"

"Fair point." -- Anon Guest

Human Reg had one of the more interesting mottos: "It's better to be prepared than be embarrassed." To that end, she always had a knife, a multitool, or both somewhere on her person. There was also, in one of her pockets, a roll of gaff and a ball of string.

It was amazing what an inventive soul could do with those.

It was also why Reg's habitat had something sharp and shiny on every wall. Several sharp and shiny things, in fact. It was practically wallpaper. A three-dimensional exploration of every bladed weapon that Humanity had invented in their long and convoluted war with their eternal enemy - Humans.
