Description
First and foremost, the character you see before you is under the copyright of "Everlasting_Light" and should not be used without her permission. (of which I got! ^__^)<br />
So great thanks goes to you E.L, for allowing me to draw this.<br />
Anyway, on to Kanon.<br />
I've depicted her in traditional archery garb, with the hakama (trousers), tabi (socks) and zori (slippers). As well as two wrist guards for protection.<br />
She carries a yumi (long bow), also known as a dai-kyu. (this was taken from E.L's supposed 1st pic of Kanon, where she holds her bow instead of a sword.) Her arrow box is stashed by her side and she carries an arrow with an ornate design, probably one with her family mon (crest).<br />
Her swords, are of an ornate design. Signifying that she may be of samurai origin. (the bow also adds the possibility that she is of a higher status, as the bow was often regarded as higher than the sword.)<br />
Her main sword, is a tachi. Also with great decoration, it is designed in an early Muromachi-style.<br />
As for the wakizashi, it lacks the ornate appearences of it's larger sister. However, it is still of a high prestige as the butt of the hilt has a motif, as well as the fact that the cords on the handle are white, thus more ceremonial. It probably dates to the early Tokugawa era, indicating that the original wakisashi was probably lost or stolen.<br />
All in all, I'm very proud of this pic, and I am most indebted to Everlasting_Light for allowing me to interpret Kanon the way I saw her.
