I'm working on an OC and I haven't got much so far, just her appearance and the majority of her backstory. I was hoping to come up with a weapon design before I go any further.

I was thinking her weapon should be a sabre because of the character she's based on. A sabre seems too plain for the world of RWBY and I want to make it more functional and fit the world better. I was trying to come up with other things to combine with a sabre that make sense with her fighting style- which is based heavily off of fencing.

I was thinking maybe a whip? They're both weapons that require only one hand, so she could use them in tandem. If she were to have a whip, where would she store it? Maybe the hilt of the sabre. I could also do something with the sheath for the sword as well. Other than a whip, I don't know what else to do with a sabre.

If someone could help me with that, it'd be great! I want to bounce different ideas off of people and see what other people come up with.
