Well, that's easily enough explained:

Larry felt like drawing a sword.

That's it! No deep mystery here.

As for her customary weapon, it's nothing impressively fanciful, as some seem to think. It's basically just a manrikigusari or meteor hammer. The only thing that's really fantasy-based about it is the gauge of the chain, which tends to be a little exaggerated.

Maybe the art staff just doesn't think it'd be interesting-looking enough to bother with. :)
