Are there any better weapons for her apart from the Shortsword of Arvoreen+2 ?

There are some better short swords later in the game; however, that should be your last priority with Mazzy. Her strength is not her front line fighting. Her strength is her skill as an archer. As soon as you get her, hand her the Tuigan bow and lots of good arrows, and she will decimate many opponents before they ever get within melee range of you.

IMHO, the only time Mazzy should even use the short sword is one of those encounters where the opponents appear right in the middle of the party (I hate those!), and she is now stuck on the front line. Fight her way apart from the opponents, then switch back to bow. Otherwise, unless you run out of arrows, she should never touch her sword.
