Bearn looks very different from her plushie, but i recall the plushie was too small for all the details of her uniform to be included.

Also a bit of a interesting choice from Akira to give her the shoulder flightdeck to keep with the consistency tho that is meant to tell us Bearn is a pretty regular carrier compare to others and also the bow as a weapon of choice gives me the vibes she is also not that modern.

Either way i still think a french bass bow would have been a good idea instead, i mean ArkRoyal and Vicky have a compound bow.

Maybe she uses it like a Pavise shield

This does raise an important question:

Which weapon will La Fayette use to launch planes?

Bearn walked so Charles de Gaulle could fly
