I haven't roleplayed Reiko according to game mechanics of her class at all. The is a Thaumaturge but she specialises in Thunder spells and Lightning magic, something that is s simple DoT in this game. She is very good at aetherical manpiulation sure but she personally leans towards Lightning spells to solve everything. That said, as Sarcire found out, she isn't bad with Ice or Fire spells either, she just prefers Thunder spells.
There is nothing wrong with Roleplaying your job a little differently, or differently from gameplay. No two paladins will have the same fighting style. No two mages with prefer using the same spells.
Roleplayers have a very active imagination so nobody will be bothered if you don't roleplay using the shield.
Plus you don't HAVE to be a Paladin if you use a sword and shield. There are plenty of NPC soldiers and knights that use all of the DoW weapons. Paladin is a poor translation of the class anyway as the Kanji for it reads "Knight". Basically think more the FFI/FFV Knight for this class and the lore around it.
basically you can very easily just be a pirate, merc, soldier, guard etc that fights with a sword and shield
