[Perhaps they are geared more towards range and mobility than the dark knights she knows. Riding a mount into battle as she is now would be... troublesome, for her part.]
The dark knights of Eorzea use claymores and greatswords, as well. Most have a dislike of shields, and not just because the sword's too damned big to bother with one. It's rooted in basic swordplay, but there's a few key differences.
[Camilla looks the part, too; much more than Irhya does, certainly. Hitting her with the truth seems not to deter her much, so...]
To be a dark knight is to suffer, and to sacrifice. Without the flame, the drive to protect someone else, you're only swinging a sword and hoping to the gods you don't die. But then, a dark knight fears not her own mortality, either, only accepts the inevitability of it... and perhaps skirts about the line a bit.
[Living Dead may have come back to bite her in the arse a few times. Yeah.]
