I’ve always been fascinated with swords and own a Japanese practice sword, a shinai, that I have practiced in.
I loved Mirando Otto in the Lord of the Rings series, The Two Towers and The Fellowship of the Ring.

Who is your favorite woman with a sword — in a book or movie or TV show?
I’d love to hear!
