Fleuve d'étoiles (星の大河 Etowāru Furūgu) is an extending whip from the Celestial Spirit World.
Appearance[]
While not in use, only the whip's handle is visible, this possessing a simple, cylindrical form with a dark brown central part and golden edges; the lower one is covered in stud-like ornaments and has a small blue rope hanging from it, from which a yellow star-shaped pendant is attached. When the weapon is being used, a jet of flowing water is created from the handle, which remains compact, and twists and moves as if it were the rope on an actual whip.[2] In the anime, however, the whip itself is portrayed as being less water-like and more celestial in appearance: a stream of eerily blue celestial matter resembling water comes forth from the handle and is surrounded by orange-white light that twists around its entire length.[3] Later on, also in the anime, an upgraded version of the Fleuve d'étoiles was shown; this whip is more "complete" than the previous version in the sense that the whip is already full formed. The handle is black with silver, metallic rings on either end; the whip itself is maroon in color and is rather long, wherein the end is fashioned into a heart shape.[4]
