Tamura Chinjuyu's Arsenal

Name: Box O’ Fun.

Amount: Ten katanas and a box.

Type: They’re katanas. In a box. All you need for a good ol’ party.

Appearance: It’s a veritable smorgasbord of swords stuck in a box which only have their size and weight in common. That is to say they’re all around 20inches long (hilt included) and weigh about 13lbs. This makes them shorter, lighter and therefore somewhat flimsier than average. As far as looks go they range from straight bladed to highly curved. All of them are little more than a blade with cloth wrapped around where the handle usually is (think a really long shank).

 The box is long, wide and deep enough to hold all of the sword with only their makeshift hilts popping out. The box itself is made out of wood with a leather strap for Tamura to carry like a bag.


Special Abilities: They cut things because they’re sharp. And because that’s what they were basically made to do. Also as far as katanas go they’re pretty light (light enough to be thrown about using Air bending) and definitely not unbreakable. Tamura has had to have many of them replaced over time.

 Also every single one of those ten swords has a name. As a group they are “The Boys” or “The Dudes”. Plentiful. Cheap and expendable. It should be noted that she was very drunk when she named them. Their names are:

Bub the 12th.
Gorg the 4th.
Klun the 8th.
Pudge the 16th.
Kult the 5th.
Boo the 9th.
Nuck the 11th.
Moob the 1st (aka “The Mightyt”)
Fidiot the 7th.
Gumb the 18th (aka “The Wuss”)


Origin/History: They were forged by a multitude of rather burly blacksmith fellows with hammers and anvils and forges. Seriously these aren’t god given weapons of incredible supernatural prophetic power (quite the contrary actually). They’re sword. They go snickety snap and stuff that was in one piece is now in more pieces.

Name: “Lady  Slice” and “Lady Cut” (often referred to simply as “Cut” or “Slice”). Also knows as “The Ladies” or “The Girls”. Rare. Beautiful and precious.

Amount: One “Lady Slice” and one “Lady Cut”

Type: katanas

Appearance: They are twin katanas of exquisite craftsmanship. Their blade length is 25inches and their hilt length is 11inches (bringing each weapon’s total length to 36inches). The weigh 17lbs each. The guards are gold-plated steel and the handles are wrapped in crimson cloth. Their sheaths are made of black wood reinforced with metal at the tip and base. Tamura wears both of them on her left hip.


Special Abilities: Not really a special ability, but these two katanas were so skilfully forged that despite being relatively light they retain incredible structural integrity and superb balance.


Origin/History: A gift from Xen Kao to his daughter Tamura and forged by a master smith from Ba Sing Se. These twin swords cost more than a pretty penny and were built especially for her and are tailored to her fighting style. They are light but surprisingly sturdy and of excellent quality.
