 * Name: Nestedmata;
 * Wielder: TBD;
 * Maker/Smith: TBD;
 * Type: Double Edged Nested Blade;
 * Weapon Derivation: Gambol shroud and Matryoshkas (a type of doll);
 * Design: A bastard sword with a half brown, half red grip with a silver pommel and an extra red grip located after the guard. The cross guard is mechanical and composed of 2 big talons used to latch on to the holster and 2 small talons that latch on to the green grip
 * Holster: A thick metallic grey sheath with sharpened edges; The tip of the sheath is shaped like a pendulum (the torture device) that is likewise sharpened; due to the size and weight of the sheath, the user tends to draw this blade by pointing it downward, unlatching it, and letting gravity do the work;
 * Holstered: is carried on the back thanks to a magnetic backpack;
 * Form 1: By unlatching the smaller talons, users are able to split the blade into 2 smaller ones, one guardless and with a thicker blade;
 * Form 2: The red grip can similarly be split to reveal a small dagger;
 * Features: The pommel and guard of the dagger conceals a braided metallic string that allow the dagger to be wielded as a rope dart;
 * Usage: Against grimm this blade is rarely unsheathed, as they tend to be too slow to be able to properly dodge the users strikes; as a small bonus the pickaxe like design of the tip makes it really useful at cracking armor plates. Against humans speed tends to become a necessity and the blade get’s unsheathed once or twice depending on how fast they are; the dagger is there for utility and can act as an impromptu grappling hook.
 * Planned/Possible Upgrades: …;
 * Notes: Nestemata is Romanian for “the jewel”; with the extra D it's a blend of the English word “nested” and the Romanian "mata", an outdated way to address elders as opposed to using "you"; the two words hint towards the Russian Doll Matryoshka, also known as the nested doll or babushka(grandmother) dolls.
