The warrior academy in Vinsalt teaches not just how to behave on the battlefield but equally important how to survive in a horasian ballroom.
This creates a unique mixture of proficiencies in two handed swords with heavy armor and fencing weapons with light or no armor. Add on crossbows from heavy models used in siege warfare to smallest torsion powered pistol sized Balestrinas, easily hidden under a wide cloak.
Isida was lucky enough to learn at the academy despite not being of noble birth.
Not being able to live just on family funds, she has made her fencing skills and social education part of her job of protecting high value nobles in any environment.
This character was inspired by a drawing of her having crossbow, great sword and rapier.
As the academy is not covered in Core or Compendium she is using a few rules currently not available in English marked with (*). The Vinsalt combat style can be found here in German, but the relevant part is that multiple defenses in the same combat turn are not penalised at all, as this NPC also has the two Master Parry and Mighty Master Parry special abilities.
Yes that means she could parry however often it is needed in a combat turn on her base parry. In defensive posture parrying for the person she is protecting, that would be rolling 16 or lower on D20 for each parry.
For the two modified Balestrinas, the rules in German can be found here and here but the relevant modifications are already applied
