Indigo Montoya: A Princess Bride Re-Design

"Indigo Montoya" is a redesign of the iconic swordsman, Inigo Montoya, from The Princess Bride. This time the genre is Sci Fi / Fantasy. Set as a space opera, if you will. "Indigo" dedicated her life to the study of the art of swordplay after her father (the most renowned swordmaker in the verse) was murdered by a mysterious sixfingered man. She is out for revenge, taking what jobs she can while searching for her father's killer. These are three different concepts on what her character could look like. This is the point in the story where we meet her, having joined a band of mercenaries hired to kidnap the the princess of the Florentine Empire.
She wields a "shimmersteel" blade. A kind of "vibroblade" rapier. The story is set in the far future (think Asimov's Foundation series mixed with Herbert's Dune), where things are more decorative than overtly "techie."
