What a nifty thread.
So, T'rahnu carried around and used the bow her father gave her as a farewell gift for quite some time. It served her well over the years, and she was fond of it as a memento of her time with her family. Eventually, however, after the cataclysm and the loss of her old tribe, she began to use it less and less over time, both for how it served as a reminder of what she perceived as her failure to protect her own kin, and also due to its continually degrading usefulness as a weapon.
She eventually used the bow as a base for a rebuilt modified composite bow, which she still uses today. This was as much to help her move on from the ghosts of her past as it was to restore its use as a weapon, and she now keeps it with her always.
Her other weapons include a Twin Adder spear made of the unique jade-like gemstone they use for all their serpent sergeant weapons, which she quite likes due to its standout design and good balance. She naturally acquired that through her time working with the Twin Adders. She also has a basic single-edged heavy-weighted axe, her preferred weapon for close encounters. Nothing special about that one; she simply purchased it from the market. She doesn't carry all of them on her at all times, but rather keeps them latched onto her chocobo and chooses the weapon most appropriate for the task at hand.
And of course, if all else fails, she still has the use of her fists as weapons. As someone who wishes to become a master-of-arms, it's only appropriate that she make good use of her own limbs when necessary.
