Not bad, but that sword grip won't help in a fight, her hand is to far from the Crossguard, & way too loose a grip(she'd probably drop it, in that pose). It's a failing in Daz, mainly I think to no one ever holding a sword, let alone fight with one, I've done both in the past, so this is from experience, not a go at you personally. Also, when fighting with a sword, the edges should be inline with the back of the hand & knuckles, with the back of the hand inline with forearm. Hand placement gets even more important the longer the sword blade & Hilt, as the 'right hand' becomes the 'pivot point' of the sword, the 'left hand' controls how much you can move the sword tip. if your not sure what I mean by that, take a broom handle, put a piece of gaffer/duck tape just over 2 hands width from one end. then try holding the ''sword'' halfway down the ''hilt'', you'll see how hard that is to control. Then place your Dominant hand just below the tape ''crossguard'', try the same moves with your other hand as far down the 'hilt' as you can, you'll see you don't need to move your 'weaker' hand that much to move the tip the same distance.
Might be badly worded, but I'm trying to remember how it was first 'explained' to me, back in the late '90's, & my memory isn't that good.
