| Mary Poppins
If she was a fencer, what weapon would she fence?
Remember, "practically perfect in every way." | 
|  | | And now for this message... |

| I can't see anyone who wears frilly clothing and flies away on an umbrella fencing anything other than foil. She's too ... dainty for anything else. |

| I'd say epee, because she's practically perfect, but she's faaaaaaaaar too dainty and frilly for it, plus she can fly. So foil it is.

| Well she'd obviously fence foil because it's got the best of both saber and epee without the drawbacks.
P.S - If putting Dabre in the poll as an option was to remind the world of me doing it accidently a little while ago - I applaud you.
If it wasn't then welcome to the accidentaly typing the wrong letter in a weapon name club.

| Myself being an epeeist nontheless, I believe I have to go with Foil. She just fits the frilly image 
(and what's Dabre?  )

| Mary Poppins weapon
I think she would go one better than a foil and probably use a hat pin. | |

| I voted for foil. She just seems the sort. Finicky, sitckler for rules and all that on the surface, but a sneaky rule bender when the adults aren't looking. Yep foil fencer.

| Foil, with its emphasis on rules, right of way, and quick, sneaky attacks. "Spit-spot! Touche!"
