Quote #10
Alanna hefted the weapon in her hand. It was the largest, heaviest sword she had ever handled… She trotted off to find an empty practice room with plenty of mirrors. (5.212-213)
Alanna is so hardcore that she practices with a sword that's almost as big is she is. It's difficult to wield a blade almost as big as she is, but that's the point—after forcing herself to practice extensively with it, anything else she uses will feel like a toothpick. That's how dedicated Alanna is.
