i get the feeling she has "no idea" how to use that whip. it could be quite comical the number of ways she could accidentally tie herself up in it. i'm sure she tries very hard.
She looks very much like the clumsy girl archetype from animes. The ones who managed to trip on flat ground and flash her underwear to everyone in a ten mile radius and somehow able to lose her underwear by walking pass a tree....
IMO, it's not really comical, just stupid. But that's just me, I hate characters like that.
