Hello! I'm trying to come up with a nickname that says something like "strong woman warrior" or "female weapons master." The closest I came is "onna heiki" but I'm not sure if that's the appropriate phrase. Thank you very much for your help!

Having a name like "onna heiki" makes about as much sense as Mrs "strong woman warrior". Literal translations are a bad BAD idea.

Any suggestions for something that actually conveys the meaning without sounding silly?
