Andy's Axe

The labrys is the preferred weapon of Andy. It is sometimes referred to as an axe. Andy is known to be very protective of it; she likes to keep it close to her at all times and the weapon has its own special case that resembles one for a musical instrument.

History
Andy's labrys is a very old and unique weapon that was originally forged for the leader of Andy's tribe during the Copper Age and given to her after she was named her heir. The only time Andy has been without it was when she was with Achilles. She had buried the labrys to start a new life with him, but after his death, she dug it up to exact revenge on his murderers and hasn't parted with it since.

Design
Its original design was a simple axe that has been reforged and upgraded over the millennia to use different materials as new resources were discovered around the world, such as iron. Its most recent upgrade was done a little over a decade before the events of The Old Guard: Force Multiplied.

Usage
During jobs, her use of it is brutal but effective. She doesn't seem to care where on her mark the weapon hits, although she uses it in inventive ways. One such occasion is during a job for James Copley when, during a fight, she plants one blade of the labrys in an opponent's arm and uses it to break their arm.
