For the whole shield idea, I’d like to look more in-depth at the term people often use to describe pirates: Swashbuckler.

More specifically, I’d like to look further in depth at each part of the word.

‘Swash’ is derived from the sound a sword makes as it is travelling through the air.

‘Buckler’ pertains to a type of small, often metallic, shield (see picture below). I think, therefore, that a buckler would be appropriate to use as a shield in such a resource pack.
