Ten Feet of Blue (一丈青?) is the primary Chinese sword used by Leixia in Soulcalibur V. The weapon's design bears many similarities to her mother's previous weapons Krita-Yuga and No Name except Ten Feet of Blue has shades of cyan and sky blue on its handle and a unique, dragon-like snail piece on the sword as well.
Xianghua began teaching Leixia sword techniques when she was eight years old. While she saw it as humoring her daughter at first, Xianghua eventually realized she was acting as a sword master training a talented disciple.
Leixia's use of her blade was somewhat more abrupt than her mother's technique, due to her own personality.
Profile[]
Leixia's elegant blade was crafted by one of the master weaponsmiths employed by her father, with very specific instructions from Leixia herself. The name comes from one of the beautiful female warriors featured in the novel "Water Margin".
Leixia often dreamed of adventure and spent all of her free time reading stories like "Water Margin" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The bonds of brotherhood between courageous men, and the dangerous romance between female warriors and enemy generals... Each tale filled Leixia with wistful sighs and wondrous delight, adding new elements to her fantasies about her own adventure in the big, wide world.
A foreign novel about a hero who took up a magical sword in order to bring peace to a war-torn land prompted Leixia to beg her parents for a sword she could call her own. Little did she know she would end up embarking on a very real adventure just a few short months later with that very sword in hand.
Trivia[]
- Ten Feet of Blue is a nickname for the fictional character Hu Sanniang, of the Chinese literature Water Margin, a novel which Leixia had read.
