I was mostly trying to come up with a name for the type of sword seen in my character's image. I like the look of it, but the angle kinda makes it hard to tell what it is. I suppose it could be a katana, but I can't tell if it's curved, and a katana is probably too long for what I would need. In any case, her sword is too thin to be most kinds of European things, I think.

Looks like some kind of straight Japanese sword tbh, as far as I know their sword designs are the only ones with that kind of thin sleek design that also completely disregard hand protection.
