Description
Diamond Crescent is an iron nodachi with a red hilt, over which is a pink covering with diamond-shaped cutouts, so it looks like the hilt is pink with red diamonds. It has a compacted form, but does not use Dust.

Blade Extension: The blade itself is made of sections that fit inside each other, and retract for easier carrying with the use of a pressure switch. Fully extended, the blade is 35 inches long. Each section is 5 inches long, making for 7 sections. The whole blade takes about 5-6 seconds to extend/retract.

History
Diamond Crescent was made for Tsubaki by her mentor, and hasn't changed much over the years, as Tsubaki dislikes the idea of using a transforming, more-complicated weapon.

Trivia & Author's Notes

 * Diamond Crescent was originally made to allude to the weapon of Tsubaki's original inspiration, Ikaruga from the anime Fairy Tail. Only later did I realize it was also very similar to Raven Branwen's.
 * A nodachi is similar to a katana, but longer. It is also similar to an Ōdachi, which is why nodachi redirects there.
