Ah, sweet Macross 7. I keep on meaning to write at least a nano-step with Doug being empowered by Song Energy and standing up against a protodevlin wave motion gun blast.
Anyway, Dawn does make weapons out of household items. It's been seen in the series that vampires are particularly vulnerable to wood through their hearts, so much so that a fall upon a wooden fence would pierce their chest despite it not being particularly sharp. I figure that one of the costs of their magically-enhanced corpse bodies is that it is even weaker against wood (and I suppose wood products like particle-board) than a normal human body, at least in the chest and ribs area. It's part of the vampire curse, like sunlight.
So with that in mind, having Dawn--a little 10 year old girl, remember--armed with a weapon that would keep an enemy at some range makes sense.
