Aqueous [Lv. D Sluggish Edgegirl]

If memory serves, I never actually got to play as her after we retconned her rapier to be a Swiss saber back when she was one of my D&D characters (or if I did, it was only for a session or two). Which is a shame, because Swiss sabers are cool as hell! Hopefully when my TTRPG is complete I can convince someone else to run a campaign where I can play as her.

I imagine she'd probably only take this on non-stealth missions, on account of its length. Realistically, the electrode at the base of the yelman would probably get caught on things when thrusting, but I think it's a cool design element, so I'm inclined to just leave it as it is. (It also doesn't help that the yelman here is shorter than on the A489 saber, which was the inspiration for this design.)

This chost was originally going to contain a full bio for Éclair, but I've decided to relegate that to a reply to this, since that's taking forever to write and Cohost lets you show replies in tag searches under certain circumstances so it's not like it'll be lost to the ether; I'll retain the "quick facts" section in this chost since I already had that and most of its footnotes written, but the main body of prose will be in a follow-up chost
