Mira's polearm — a Korean glaive that turns her dance training into a whirlwind of blade and energy shockwaves, as graceful as it is lethal.
The gokdo is the perfect weapon for a dancer turned warrior. Its reach and balance reward flowing, continuous movement — exactly the kind of motion Mira's dance training hardwired into her body. She doesn't fight with the gokdo so much as perform with it, translating choreography into combat sequences that generate shockwaves of energy on impact. The weapon demands commitment to each swing — no half-measures, no hesitation. This mirrors Mira's personality perfectly. She doesn't do anything halfway, and the gokdo punishes anyone who tries.
A Korean gokdo polearm — a long-hafted weapon with a curved blade at the end, similar to a glaive or naginata. The shaft is dark wood or metal with grip wrapping at strategic points. The blade curves elegantly and catches light when swung. The weapon's length gives Mira reach and leverage that complements her athletic fighting style.
