Association Bias. It seems like str weapons are furious because the media says so, but having to 2h your weapon and recover from swinging 8 lbs if you miss with a claymore is a much bigger deal than missing with a 3 lb longsword with a shield in your off hand. (actual weight approximations, not in game units)
If you're fast and furious (never mind that large str weapons are not fast) with, say, the large club, you get parried, or roll bs'd, or kited. You must have patience. You must be subtle. The same with the zweihander/dgm, and any axe or hammer. They may stunlock, but you still have to hit in the first place, probably more than once, with shorter and/or slower weapons
You can be patient with a katana/spear/falchion but its not generally necessary. Run up, unlock, press r1 at them is an effective strategy, as all these weapons are difficult to parry and pivot fast enough to stuff bs attempts.
If she wants it based on common themes dex weapon yeah, but thats not how the game works atm
