{{quote|The hidden blade has been a constant companion of ours over the years. Some would say it defines us - and they would not be entirely wrong. Many of our successes would not have been possible without it.|[[Altaïr|Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]]'s [[Codex]], Page 13.|Assassin's Creed II}}

The iconic weapon of the [[Assassins]], the '''Hidden Blade''' was a weapon used for both stealth [[Assassination targets|assassinations]] and regular combat. It was their most versatile weapon, with multiple upgrades and forms of use.

It consisted of a retractable blade, usually in conjunction with a bracer, which could be discretely extended or retracted; making it a valuable tool for assassinations.

==History==
===Third Crusade===
[[File:AC_Hidden_Bade.jpg|thumb|200px|Altaïr's hidden blade.]]
The Assassin [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] initially wielded a hidden blade, however, due to his failure in retrieving the [[Sixth Apple|Apple of Eden]], and his breaking of all three tenets of [[the Creed]], he was demoted to a [[Novice]] by [[Al Mualim]], and was stripped of his weapons. At his first promotion to the [[Ranks#Rank Two|second rank]] however, he earned back his hidden blade, along with his [[sword]].<ref name="AC">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>

Aside from assassinations, the hidden blade was also used in a variety of [[investigation]]s. For missions given by [[informants]], wherein Altaïr was asked to stealthily assassinate a number of targets, he could only make use of his hidden blade or [[throwing knives]] in order to remain undetected. Additionally, after successfully [[Interrogation|interrogating]] a target, Altaïr was forced to kill them so they could not reveal his plans, and did so by burying his hidden blade into their abdomen.<ref name="AC"/>

Although the blade was used mainly for stealth, it could also be used in open conflict, but only for countering enemy attacks.<ref name="AC"/>

===Renaissance===
[[File:Lineage Hidden Blade.png|thumb|250px|left|Giovanni's (later Ezio's) hidden blade.]]
In his own time as an Assassin, [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze|Giovanni Auditore]] also wielded a hidden blade, albeit one that had been adapted to the change of the times. As outlined in the [[Codex]], the revised blade had been designed by Altaïr so that the Assassins, who he intended to go undercover, could not be identified by their lack of a ring finger.<ref name="ACL">''[[Assassin's Creed: Lineage]]''</ref><ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

Furthermore, the mechanism did not require a wrist "flick" to extend the blade, thus the user could retract the blade without any wrist or hand movement. Additionally, as pictured, the weapon could be used with a clenched fist, although Giovanni is one of the few known Assassins to use it in that manner.<ref name="ACL"/>

[[File:Codex_Page_3_-_Hidden_Blade.png|thumb|200px|right|The Codex Page for the hidden blade's design.]]
While there is a rotating wheel atop the rear portion of the mechanism's housing (one which turns upon releasing or retracting the blade), its function has not been identified, and there are no known schematics or explanations for the mechanism.<ref name="ACL"/>

[[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] inherited the hidden blade from his father, along with his Assassin's robe, the night before the [[Auditore execution]]. However, the blade was broken due to Giovanni's last fight in [[Rome]] against [[Rodrigo Borgia]] and his men, thus [[Paola]] suggested that Ezio ask [[Leonardo da Vinci]] to repair it. Leonardo was able to do so, with the aid of the schematics detailed in the Codex.<ref name="AC2"/>

Through other Codex pages, Leonardo was able to provide Ezio with a variety of [[Hidden Blade#Upgrades|upgrades]]; such as the addition of a second hidden blade. Ezio made use of these innovations for the majority of his assassinations, and was also able to wield them in battle.<ref name="AC2"/>

====Rome====
[[File:SecondBlade.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The second hidden blade.]]
{{quote|Now I can kill double the guards.|Ezio Auditore, regarding the secondary hidden blade.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}

Though Ezio possessed the same two hidden blades until 1500, during the [[Fall of Monteriggioni]], he lost most of his weapons, and was only able to salvage the blade and bracer of his father. Upon his arrival in Rome, he was equipped with a single hidden blade, though its bracer had been replaced. Later on, however, Leonardo da Vinci was again able to reconstruct a secondary hidden blade from memory, with Ezio providing him with the money necessary for the raw materials.<ref name="ACB">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

Aside from using them in combat, Ezio also made use of his hidden blade to lockpick the entrances of certain [[Lairs of Romulus]], and mechanisms within the [[Temple of Pythagoras]].<ref name="ACB"/>

Additionally, Ezio's [[apprentices]] were each equipped with a single hidden blade, as the right to use two hidden blades was only reserved for the most trusted of Assassins, or those who had earned the rank of [[Master Assassin]]. However, upon reaching the rank of ''Assassino'', the apprentice was given a hidden blade with a bracer much like Ezio's. The apprentices were capable of all of the standard assassination techniques.<ref name="ACB"/>

===Modern Times===
[[File:Ceremonial_HB_v.png|thumb|250px|right|A ceremonial hidden blade.]]
During the escape from the Assassin [[Hideout]], [[Desmond Miles]] obtained a hidden blade and bracer that was almost identical to Ezio's first hidden blade. He later used that hidden blade to fend off the [[Abstergo Industries|Abstergo]] guards who had come to capture him.<ref name="AC2"/>

Later on, upon traveling to [[Monteriggioni]], Desmond began using a bare hidden blade without a bracer, making it less visible on his arm. He also used it to operate mechanisms in the tunnels underneath the [[Sanctuary]], as Ezio had once done.<ref name="ACB"/>

Additionally, in the [[Animus Virtual Training Program]] developed by [[Rebecca Crane]], Desmond was given the chance to hone his skills with the hidden blade. Such challenges included Stealth Assassinations and Flawless Kill Streaks using only the hidden blade.<ref name="ACB"/>

==Combat==
{{Main|Assassination Techniques}}

===Third Crusade===
[[File:Ac8.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Altaïr performing a counter with the hidden blade.]]
As it was mainly used for stealth assassinations, the hidden blade could only be used in combat under certain conditions, and could not block any attack. Altaïr was only able to assassinate a guard who had fallen on the ground (due to a grab-break, counter or grab) or had become momentarily distracted.<ref name="AC"/>

Additionally, Altaïr could use the hidden blade in a counter-attack; though the time frame was extremely small, especially in comparison to that of the sword and the short blade. Successfully intercepting an enemy attack enabled one of several different – and always lethal – counter-attacks, in which Altaïr stabbed his opponent in the chest, head, abdomen, foot, base of the skull, or spine.<ref name="AC"/>

===Renaissance===
[[File:Eziofightmasyaf2.JPG|thumb|250px|left|Ezio using his dual blades in combat.]]
The hidden blades eventually became vastly more useful in combat due to several upgrades. They could be used defensively, allowing Ezio to block attacks with them as any other weapon. The blades were a fast but low damage weapon, making them useful for suppressing enemy attacks.<ref name="AC2"/>

Unlike other weapons, every counter-attack with the hidden blades resulted an instant kill, with only a narrow timing window as a disadvantage. Unlike the sword or the short blade, the hidden blades could counter attacks from [[Brutes]], [[Seekers]] and [[Papal Guard]]s.<ref name="AC2"/><ref name="ACB"/>

The hidden blade also gave Ezio more freedom in movement than any other weapon. For example, Ezio could easily strafe a 180° arc while in combat, which was barely possible (except from very close range) with the sword or dagger. It also allowed Ezio to quickly flee from a battle without having to take the time to sheathe his weapon.<ref name="AC2" />

By his arrival in Rome, Ezio had gained a greater aptitude with the hidden blades. Aside from being able to perform more counter-attacks (due to an increased time window) he was now able to perform multiple instant kills after killing a single guard. To continue this "execution streak," each kill needed to be quickly followed up with another, without Ezio being hit in turn.<ref name="ACB"/>

==Upgrades==
[[File:ACB-HiddenBlade.jpg|thumb|250px|The blade with the pistol and poison upgrades.]]
===Codex===
Throughout his travels, Ezio would acquire several Codex pages that, upon decryption, detailed upgrades for the hidden blade that were envisioned by Altaïr. These improvements were then built for Ezio by Leonardo da Vinci.<ref name="AC2" />

The first of these improvements was the addition of a second hidden blade, which was attached to the user's other arm. The second was a metal plate on top of the primary blade's bracer that allowed one to safely deflect enemy attacks with the blades.<ref name="AC2" />

Other Codex upgrades included the [[poison blade]] and [[pistol]]. The poison blade allowed Ezio to stab an enemy and leave them to die slowly, granting both a low-profile assassination as well as a distraction to kill or bypass other enemies, while the pistol allowed Ezio to kill from a distance.<ref name="AC2"/>

Additionally, both blades could be supplemented with various vambraces, which acted as protective [[armor]].<ref name="AC2"/>

===Da Vinci===
Upon his arrival in Rome, Leonardo envisioned further improvements to the hidden blade. These were the [[Poison darts|poison dart launcher]], which allowed the use of the poison blade from a distance, and the hidden bolt, which fired small [[crossbow]] bolts.<ref name="ACB"/><ref name="ACPL">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''</ref>

[[File:ACR hookblade.png|thumb|250px|left|The hookblade's design.]]
===Others===
The [[Hookblade]] was a modification of the hidden blade that was adopted by the [[Assassins guild (Constantinople)|Assassins guild]] of [[Constantinople]]. Unlike the other hidden blade advancements, it was attached to the user's secondary hidden blade, instead of the primary.<ref name="Game Informer June Cover">[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2011/05/05/acrcoverrevealjune.aspx Game Informer - June Cover Revealed: ''Assassin's Creed Revelations'']</ref>

Upon his arrival in the city, Ezio also adopted it for use in both battle and travel, by using [[Ziplines]] installed across the city rooftops.<ref name="Game Informer June Cover" />

==Trivia==
===Design===
*[[Patrice Desilets]], the creative director of the game, stated that the addition of a second blade in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' also had a lucid reason: it's ''Assassin's Creed II,'' so there are two blades.
*The original design of Ezio's second hidden blade in ''Assassin's Creed II'' was displayed as a brown glove, however, in-game, it was replaced with a second bracer. This was reverted in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' however, where his second hidden blade included a glove, until a bracer was purchased.
[[File:ACBSP_2011-04-10_18-35-13-61.png|thumb|250px|Ezio Auditore retracting his hidden blade.]]
*It is unknown why the ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' box art, E3 Trailer and other official media depict Ezio with a secondary hidden blade bracer identical to his primary one, as in-game, no such second bracer exists.
*The second hidden blade is marginally longer than the primary one in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', perhaps designed to be a more effective melee weapon to complement the primary hidden blade's design as an assassination tool.

===Mechanism===
*In the E3 teaser trailer of ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' (as well as in certain concept art), Altaïr can be seen pushing a button to operate his hidden blade. In the actual games, however, no such button or other trigger mechanism exists.
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Renaissance]]'' and the [[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (novel)|''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' novel]], unleashing the hidden blade required the use of a button, via a certain muscle on the forearm being flexed.
*In an ''Assassin's Creed'' [http://www.gametrailers.com/video/developer-diary-assassins-creed/13648 Developer Diary] video, [[Jade Raymond]] speaks about Altaïr's lack of his ring finger, which is due to the [[Initiation to the Assassin Order|initiation ceremony]] when a novice is promoted to an Assassin. The ring finger of the left hand is cut off, the hidden blade is installed, and the new born Assassin is ready to complete the missions bestowed upon him or her.
*The hidden blade is a [[Crafting in Project Legacy|crafted item]] in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''. The materials for its construction are 2 Coils, 1 Iron, 1 Hide and 1 Box of Components (which in turn is crafted using 3 Gears, 3 Screws, 1 Chain and 2 Sprockets).

===Others===
*Despite being equipped with a hidden blade, some Assassins (such as [[Malik Al-Sayf]]) did not have an amputated finger.
*The first recorded usage of the hidden blade by an Assassin was by [[Darius]], when he assassinated [[Xerxes I of Persia|Xerxes of Persia]]. However, his ring finger remained intact and he wielded it on his right hand.
*The hidden blade is used in every major assassination. Even if the player begins by attacking the enemy with a sword, the Assassin will always finish them off with the hidden blade.
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines]]'', if the PlayStation Portable is linked to ''Assassins Creed II'', Altaïr's hidden blade can be upgraded to be used to block light and heavy attacks.
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles]]'', the player can only use the hidden blade to assassinate an enemy from behind if it is related to the story.
*There is a glitch in ''Assassin's Creed II'' in the mission "[[Practice What You Preach]]." If instead of practicing the new assassination techniques, you go to the blacksmith and purchase the Leather Vambrace, you can acquire the second hidden blade before Leonardo even makes it for you.
*So far, there is no record of Altaïr ever using two hidden blades. In ''[[Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade]]'', Altaïr has new equipment inspired by the Apple and fashioned by a [[Blacksmiths|blacksmith]], but ultimately, there is only evidence of him using the pistol advancement, on [[Abbas Sofian]].
*It should be noted that the primary Hidden Blade of an Assassin will be worn on the oppposite hand of their dexterity. For example, Ezio, who is right handed because he wields his sword in his right hand, he wore his first Hidden Blade on his left hand. So a left handed Assassin would wear their primary blade on their right arm.

{{quote|No, no, you're right. Let's all just screw around while the world falls to pieces.|Lucy to Desmond in the Sanctuary.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}
'''Lucy Stillman''' (born 1988) is a member of the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]] and former [[genetic memory]] researcher for [[Abstergo Industries]]' [[Animus]] project. During her infiltration of Abstergo, she reported back information to the Assassins on the company's recent activities.

Once [[Desmond Miles]] had finished reliving his ancestor [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]]'s memories, Lucy helped him to escape the [[Abstergo laboratory]]. She then took him to the [[hideout]], where he began his Assassin training, with the aid of new allies, [[Shaun Hastings]] and [[Rebecca Crane]].

==Biography==
===Early life===
Before starting work with Abstergo Industries, Lucy Stillman attended university to study cognitive neuroscience, but was forced to leave when her mentors began to hold issue with her topic of study, which was considered pseudoscience. Unable to continue study at the university, she applied at a variety of locations, and tried everything to achieve employment, at one point joking to Desmond, ''"I was this close to waiting tables."''<ref name="Assassin's Creed">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>

Eventually, she was contacted by Dr. [[Warren Vidic]], who offered her a position at Abstergo Industries. She accepted the offer, and immediately began working with Warren on his Animus project. For the first three years, Lucy was largely responsible for the design of a number of the Animus' functions and interfaces.<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>

While Lucy was on fairly cordial and friendly terms with a few other employees at Abstergo, such as [[Richard]], these same individuals were later ordered to have Lucy killed, before Warren intervened, as he saw her as a valuable employee.<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>

===Working for Abstergo===
[[File:Lucyanimus.png|thumb|right|250px|Lucy looking down at Desmond in the Animus.]]
Lucy was first seen after she pulled Desmond out of the Animus, after she saw that his subconscious would not let him view the specific memory that Abstergo wanted. As Warren explained to Desmond what the Animus did, and what genetic memories were, she explained Abstergo's goal, though without revealing too much information to Desmond.<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>

Between sessions, Lucy asked Desmond questions concerning his past, and answered his about Abstergo, while trying not to reveal too much. She also stated that he was not the only person Abstergo was detaining, and that she too was an unfortunate captive.<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>

She then told him a story of how, in the past, Abstergo had decided to silence her, in order to keep her from speaking about the Animus; but before her assailants could eliminate her, they were ordered to stand down by Warren. She claimed that he had saved her life that day, and told Desmond not to judge Warren so harshly, as he was under a lot of pressure.<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>

As more time passed, Lucy left the door access codes in Desmond's wardrobe, so that he could finally leave his room. On top of the Animus, Desmond found Lucy's access pen, which had also been left there for him to find. This allowed him go through her computer and read [[Lucy's e-mail|her e-mails]]. Later, Lucy revealed to Desmond that she was also an Assassin, and was only undercover to learn more about Abstergo's plans.<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>

When Desmond finished his time in the Animus, three Abstergo executives, along with Vidic, decided to kill Desmond, seeing as they had retrieved the information they needed. However, Lucy intervened, and convinced them to keep Desmond for more testing, as his memories could still reveal more about the locations of the [[Pieces of Eden]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>

===Escape to the Hideout===
[[File:Lucybash.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Lucy attacks an Abstergo guard.]]
"''Your already an Assassin, you'll just be better at it''" Lucy to Desmond on him being an Assassin

A few hours after Lucy and Vidic left, Desmond was still trapped in the lab, where he had used his new skill, [[Eagle Vision]], to view [[Subject 16]]'s hidden messages.<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/> Suddenly, Lucy rushed into the room, with stains of blood on her shirt from fighting her way through the Abstergo facility.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

Lucy told Desmond that there was no time to waste, and that he had to get into the Animus to retrieve the memory core data. Lucy wrote the data on a disk and, along with Desmond, fled the laboratory. The two successfully fought their way out of the facility, and eventually made it to the parking lot.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II"/>

There, they found themselves confronted by more [[guards]]. Quickly disposing of them, Lucy told Desmond to climb into the trunk of a car ''"for [his] own protection."'' When the drive was over, the pair arrived at the hideout. Before they entered the main room, Lucy told Desmond that she had brought him to there to train him to become an Assassin, by using the Animus 2.0 and its [[bleeding effect]] to imprint skills onto him, through another ancestor, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed II"/>

Entering the main room, Lucy's fellow Assassins, Shaun Hastings and Rebecca Crane, introduced themselves to Desmond, and began preparations for the sessions. Later in the day, Lucy evaluated Desmond's progress by tasking him with setting up the security system. In between sessions, they also spoke of issues such as the [[Templars]], and the status of other Assassin teams.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II"/>

[[File:Ac desmond.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Lucy speaking with Desmond in the hideout.]]
After Desmond discovered [[Vatican Vault|the Vault]] in [[Rome]] by reliving Ezio's memories, the alarm went off as Abstergo invaded their hideout. Hurriedly, Lucy gave Desmond a [[Hidden Blade]] similar to Ezio's, and they made their way downstairs.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II"/>

When they encountered Warren Vidic in the warehouse, he reminded Lucy that he had saved her life. Both Lucy and Desmond engaged in a fight with the Abstergo guards, quickly defeating them. Warren was last seen in the back of a truck, stating that the attack was only the beginning before he fled.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II"/>

When Desmond started to go after him, Lucy stopped him and said that they would bring Warren to justice for what he had done eventually. Lucy and the others evacuated the hideout since it was no longer safe, and Abstergo would likely be back with reinforcements.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II"/>

They left in a van to hide in the mountains, and Desmond prepared to enter the Animus again to continue their search for clues. Meanwhile, Lucy continued to study the session notes to try to figure out what the "[[Those Who Came Before|goddess]]" [[Minerva]] had meant, telling Desmond that everything she had feared was starting to happen.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II"/>

===Search for the Apple===
[[File:Desmond_Stabbing_Lucy.JPG|thumb|250px|left|Lucy being stabbed by Desmond.]]
After a long drive, the Assassins finally arrived in [[Modern Times|modern-day]] [[Monteriggioni]], setting up a new hideout in the [[Sanctuary]] underneath the [[Villa Auditore]]. She and Desmond both opened the door to the Sanctuary by passing through the underground sewers and tunnels.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

After Desmond relived Ezio's memories in Rome, the Assassins discovered that Ezio had hidden the [[Sixth Apple|Apple of Eden]] in a [[Colosseum Vault|vault]] underneath the [[Colosseo|Colosseum]]. After Desmond retrieved the Apple within the vault, [[Juno]] took control of Desmond's body and said that ''"The Path must be opened. The scales shall be balanced."'' Desmond was then forced to stab Lucy in the stomach with his hidden blade, whereupon they both fell to the floor. Desmond entered a comatose state, though Lucy's fate is still unknown.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood"/>

==Personality==
[[File:Desmondlucy.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Lucy and Desmond in the Assassins' hideout.]]
{{quote|Let me guess, you're more the in-bed-at-six type.|Desmond to Lucy while they travel to the Sanctuary.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}
In contrast to Warren Vidic's personality, Lucy is a warm and appreciative individual with a bright personality. She always lends encouraging words and sympathy towards Desmond, though it irritates him sometimes. Occasionally, when Warren attempts to force Desmond to go deeper into the Animus memory, Lucy will stop him from doing so, and plead with him to allow Desmond to rest, showing her caring personality.<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>

Lucy is also both cunning and resourceful, keeping Desmond's night-time explorations of the Animus room secret, though she also becomes irate or worried under too much pressure. She is sensitive of the death of her colleagues, particularly her friend [[Leila Marino]], as well as her role in Subject 16's loss of sanity, and the stress over the deaths of two Assassin teams in the field.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II"/>

==Trivia==
*The name "Lucy" is taken from the italian word "luce", which means light.
*Lucy is modeled after and voiced by [[Kristen Bell]].
*The [[Assassin's Creed Achievements|achievement]] "Conversationalist" can be unlocked in the Xbox 360 version of ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' by talking to Lucy every time Desmond exits the Animus. Note that Desmond must talk to her completely, until she says that she's too busy to talk, or asks if he's tired.
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', it is revealed that she is an accomplished fighter, taking down many Abstergo guards while she and Desmond were escaping Abstergo, and later, the Hideout. In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', she is seen to possess an amount of [[Free Running|free-running]] experience.
*It is implied throughout ''Assassin's Creed II'' and ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' that Lucy and Desmond have feelings for each other. There is evidence of this from her caring for his well-being due to the bleeding effect, as well as hugging him, and saying that she's glad he's with the Assassins.
**In ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', an e-mail she received from [[William M.]] also further implies that Lucy has feelings for Desmond. The message states that she should not keep Desmond out of danger ''"just because of feelings she may or may not have"'' for him.
*In ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', Lucy has ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' up on her computer in the Sanctuary, set to the memory sequence for [[Mario Auditore]].
*While Desmond talks to Lucy outside the Villa in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', she comments that nearly a decade of her life has been spent searching for the Pieces of Eden. Also in ''Assassin's Creed II'', Rebecca says that it has been 7 years since they last met. This would mean that Lucy spent her mid-teens (16-17 onward) searching for the Pieces of Eden.
*Lucy's password for her e-mail account is Juno57. This proved to be foreshadowing, as it was Juno who forced Desmond to stab her.
*When stabbed by Desmond, Lucy eyes can be seen to move and look at Desmond just a split second before they fall to the ground.
*In ''Assassin’s Creed'', it can be seen during one of the conversations with Lucy after exiting The Animus; she can be seen writing on her digital slate with her left hand. However in the above photo of Lucy fighting the guards in Abstergo, she is holding her weapon in her right hand. This is either a mistake; she had to improvise and hold the weapon in whatever hand was easiest; or she is ambidextrous.
