* ReligiousBruiser: She's the Cardinal of the Iris Libre, makes several references to religion, and refers to the Vichya as those who have betrayed the Scriptures. As secretary, she makes frequent references to praying for her comrades' well-being. She does being attention to the reality that her position and her strong beliefs make her a divisive figure, her sister being the most noted casualty.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The faction is referred to as "Iris the Liberty" in the First Anniversary Artbook. This also appeared briefly in the English version when Saint Louis was first added, though was later changed, and their emblem on the faction tech screen still features the name. (This was evidently after the English localization team ''begged'' the rest of Yostar, Majuu and Yongshi to use "Iris Libre" instead.) Crunchyroll's English subtitles for the [[Anime/AzurLane anime]] also uses "Iris the Liberty". The Chinese server's use of "[[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EYYG1g1U0AY2DnO.jpg:large Iris the Liberty]]" makes it clear that only the English version uses "Iris Libre".

* AllLovingHero: Her MVP line has her praying that the souls of those she has defeated may find rest in the afterlife, showing that she doesn't hold any ill will even for her enemies. In "Skybound Oratorio" she even makes a point of [[spoiler:trying to save Algérie from the influence of a corrupted Wisdom Cube, despite the latter being on the opposing side]].
* AnimationBump: Her "Fleuron of the Waves" swimsuit Live [=2D=] skin is ''utterly bonkers'' compared to previous [=L2Ds=] and even other [=L2D=] skins that share her own event. She has incredibly elaborate recruit, login and return-to-port animations (which are also ''longer'' than any previous skin's), her lip sync is perfect, and she has a huge variety of general animations across all her reactions and lines.

--> '''Richelieu's Affinity (Stranger) line''': "The one you are talking to was once despisingly called many things: the calamity that brought on war, the fearsome Cardinal, and the maniac possessed by religious fervor. I ask of you: when you look at me, what do you see in me?"

* MistakenForRomance: Invoked; her Love Affinity line has her muse on the "distance between people", unsubtly referring to herself and the Commander while she tells them to allow "the others" (presumably other shipgirls) to continue misunderstanding their relationship.

* SupportPartyMember: Between buffing all other french ships and debuffing enemies with the burning inflicted by her barrage, she's a big boon to French fleet.

--> '''Champagne''': "Immerse yourself in the liberating quintessence of wine, for the mind requires reprieve. Man is naught without repose."

* GeniusBonus: Why is Surcouf a buxom MsFanservice instead of cute {{Moe}} girl? (Which she herself acknowledges as weird). The actual Surcouf [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_submarine_Surcouf was the largest submarine built amid her time.]]

* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: She is aware of her looks and is noted to be fond of showing off. Her reaction to the commander grabbing her breasts is "if you wanna fondle 'em, just say so first~". Her [[https://twitter.com/azurlane_staff/status/1262251477390647296?s=20 swimsuit skin]] (with an obligatory NSFW warning) takes it to an entirely new level, telling the commander to take photos of her bikini, [[IntimateLotionApplication rub lotion on her]], and she even invitingly tugs on her bikini when offering the Commander to touch her.

* SquareRaceRoundClass: True enough to her "underwater cruiser" title, her skills pertain mainly to surface combat (her barrage doesn't trigger until she surfaces) and [[SupportPartyMember enhancing the front line's accuracy.]] Contrast most other subs, who usually have torpedo skills and selfish aiming buff skills. Even her tendency to show off is rather atypical of a sub. She even has a heavy cruiser gun (one unique to her) as opposed to the destroyer-grade ones other subs use.
** She's even odd in her faction as while she's named after a privateer (Robert Surcouf) she acts in no way the part and even professes to not care that much for piracy.

* TheSlacker: While not absolutely lazy, she's someone who is fond of taking it easy which is best reflected in her bike skin which is very casual and she dials back on her teasing (but not completely).
* WingdingEyes: When groped in her swimsuit skin Surcouf reacts very positively in the form of her eyes pulsating with hearts very strongly.

* GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies: In her "The Noble Knight's Last Stand" skin, she's freaked herself out by watching a horror movie and begs the Commander to stay with her until she falls asleep.
