#winter temps can cause swords to freeze in their scabbards

[closedcoffins]

What is Maria's favorite season?

that's a good question! thank you for asking it!

i'm personally going to have to say maria's favorite season is fall, and it's honestly just a process of elimination.

winter is too cold for her liking, and cold temperatures can really mess up a sword + scabbard especially if it's below freezing. as someone who takes her katanas everywhere, maria is the sort of person to get disgruntled enough about the inconvenience to dislike winter on principle.

spring is nice, but she has allergies.

summer's just a little too hot. given maria's preferred getup, which is mostly black and made of very thick material, she tends to get winded and overheated easily in fights during the daytime, which is annoying.

and that leaves fall! it's not only the perfect temperature, but it's the lead-in to a lot of holidays that she gets to badger luck into helping her decorate for. not only that, but she likes fall colors the best out of other colors.
