Description "The original form of Vanora's Keyblade, drawn from one's inner strength of heart. Its sleek, lightweight design makes it efficient at quickfooted combat."
*Strength +2
Magic +2
Ability: Flowgoer
Extend the time of Flowmotion's aura around the user, as well as slightly increasing damage of Flowmotion commands and duration of the invincibility frames while using the technique.
*Going off of KH2 and BBS Keyblade standards

So here's an idea I've been going over for a while, making a Kingdom Hearts OC in addition to all the other trash OCs on my page. I'm still working on the design and backstory of this "Vanora" character (who also happens to be the name of my avatar in KHUX), but I liked the design of her Keyblade and thought it would be fun to share this. I may make a digital version if someone asks nicely. 
As the basic Keyblade, it's pretty normal all-around, decent boosts to Strength and Magic, but nothing special. If I find the idea interesting I may make a few other Keyblades; I do actually have a few ideas in mind of other designs.

Trivia: 
-The name Swanhilde translates into "Swan Warrior", emphasizing it's both pretty-looking and pretty dangerous to fight against. I was mainly working with ideas of what objects would be fun to design like a key's teeth when thinking of this, so the idea of a bird's wing popped into my head and that's what I went with.
-The main motifs were of ballet (primarily Swan Lake and The Nutcracker) and of water ripples, which shows up in the tiara-like decoration on the hilt and the apparently crying swan on the blade itself. I didn't want to overcomplicate with too many details on this (that's the Ultima Weapon's job, after all), but I think it came out pretty nice in the end.

I have a soft spot for the elegant type Keyblade and you really mean it when you wanted this to be simple looking.
I can guess in the future you have lots and lots ideas for this design and will be looking forward to your next ones too.
Keep it up dude.
