1st Weapon: Rossolina's Ribbon
♜ A metal bracer that covers the wearer's forearm and comes to slight point over the back of the wearer's hand. The bracer is decorated with swirling patterns that emanate from a red gem sitting on the pointed front portion. When activated, the gem shoots out a thin but strong cord of red light, the tip of which can stick to surfaces. The user can then reel the cord in, causing it to shorten rapidly. Initially, the cord will only last a very brief period of time, making timing a crucial concern. Only the initial cord manifestation requires mana. With practice, the user can become more efficient with how much mana is required for a basic usage as described here. Examples of usage: shooting a cord across a hallway to create a surprise trip wire, or shooting a cord at a roof and reeling in the cord, using it as a grappling hook to quickly reach rooftops.
With practice, the user can also gain greater control over how the cord manifests. Some factors that the user could learn to control would be: maximum length of the cord, how long the cord exists, how quickly it unspools/reels in, the trajectory of the sticky tip, and the strength of the cord. However, the more the user manipulates the cord for advanced usages, the more mana will be required to manifest the cord. Furthermore, once manifested, the cord's characteristics can't be changed; they're all "set" the moment the user chooses to create it and can only be changed by deactivating the cord and reactivating it with a new set of characteristics in mind. Examples of advanced usage: creating a short, persistent cord with the end attached to her free hand to use as a garrotte; mentally guiding the tip so it has a better chance of landing on a moving target; using a stronger, slowly unspooling cord to lower herself and a friend off a rooftop.
Given the versatile nature of this weapon, it would take a very long time to fully master all aspects of manipulating of the cord, with all the mishaps that entails. However, while its direct attack ability is low, it can be a very versatile tool in the hands of a creative user.
Carrier: Natryoshka
♞ A series of mechanical nesting dolls tastefully executed in red and silver with a palm-sized outer shell; it's said to be a traditional Noir artifact, so many Blancs will side-eye it, but it tends to attract children in droves. It is picky, however, and will pretend to be an inanimate object to people it doesn't like. Not only are there a series of 7 dolls nested one inside the other, but there are a few hidden compartments that may reveal some even smaller dolls if popped. The dolls usually have their eyes closed as though dormant, though they still hover after their owner somehow, but will open their eyes if sung to and execute a number of intricate little dances. They only respond to Chernovian.
