Kind-hearted, innocent, traumatized, Sharpy the Sword was imbued with sentience by an tricksy hag who raised him into thinking that he was an instrument of healing. When a local villager asked for a favor from the hag, to save his dying grandmother, she gave him Sharpy and told him that the sword had magical healing properties. All he had to do was strike his grandmother with the blade and "her suffering would end." Her suffering did end when she bled out; Sharpy was traumatized and is now afraid of blood and abhors violence.
