Katoptris

Katoptris (meaning "looking glass" or "mirror" in Ancient Greek) is a dagger that once belonged to Helen of Troy, fitting accurately for its name as Helen only used it as a mirror. However, it became Alicia Davies' dagger after she selects it to be her own, and she uses it for battle as well as seeing visions of the future in it.
== History ==
This knife was originally a wedding present to Helen of Troy from her first husband Menelaus, and when looked upon, can show much more than the holder's reflection. Helen used the dagger as a mirror, which is why she named it Katoptris, meaning "mirror" or "looking glass." It was not used as a weapon when Helen was the owner, but as a looking glass so that she could gaze upon her beautiful reflection.
== Appearance ==
It is sheathed in worn black leather and is bound in bronze. Katoptris has a hilt made of polished wood with an eighteen inch triangular blade made from Celestial Bronze.
== Uses ==
* Being made of Celestial Bronze, Katoptris is effective against monsters.
* The blade of the knife can be used as a mirror.
* Katoptris has the ability to show the owner visions. However, these visions are not always helpful and may show something the owner does not wish to see. The owner has very little control over what the knife will show them.
* It is mentioned that it is a ceremonial dagger, so it may be used just for decoration or specific ceremonious roles.
== Owners ==
* Menelaus - former (deceased)
* Helen of Troy - former (deceased)
* Alicia Davies - current
== Trivia ==
* Katoptris is Greek for 'Mirror' or 'Looking Glass.' It is speculated that Helen, its original owner used it only for this purpose and nothing else.
* Although it is considered a weapon, it was never really used in battle by Helen.
