• Larxene's Weapon

This set includes four of the Foudre. They are not safe for children, and are designed for cosplay. However, the color scheme on the charms is inaccurate, and uses a blended yellow and turquoise on Larxene's Foudre instead of the clearly separated colors shown in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix. The set usually sells for around $15.00 (USD).

Design

A knife from the Foudre has a cross shape and is designed to look like the top half of the Nobody logo. One of the spikes is elongated and acts as the blade of the knife, while the other three act as the grip. The base of the blade is cyan had a clear separation from the blade itself, which is bright yellow. The other three spikes are a slightly paler shade of yellow and each has a cyan tip (again, a bit paler than the cyan in the blade). These two colors fade into each other, unlike the clear color separation present in the blade.

Trivia

• Foudre is also the French name for the Thunder spell.
• Although having a French name, the Foudre is named Blitz (also meaning Lightning, but in German) in the French translation included in the US game.
