bruh this is just terrible writing. wooden swords of that size weigh like one pound. metal ones weigh less than five pounds. there is no reason whatsoever that she wouldn’t be able to stab a dummy on the first attempt. her form would be terrible, but she’d be able to aim that thing even if she were five years old. the author has never once held a sword and it’s just pathetic how little research was done. also how little understanding of the physical prowess of girls, which just feels sexist. PATHETIC AUTHOR HAS TO MAKE UP NONSENSICAL PHYSICAL INFERIORITY JUST TO PRETEND TO HAVE A PLOT smh. romance authors stop being fucking misogynists challenge 2kEver
Honestly, it depends. You have to take note that there’s no concept of exercise for noble ladies especially since she comes from a family of scholars and still a kid. She might be able to lift a sword but swinging one and doing a thrust will have to agle the sword a bit horizontally. The weight wont be balanced and it’s hard to keep steady. Or maybe swords during that time are heavier than now who knows.
