History Characters / AzurLaneIrisLibre

* MissFanservice: Much like other ships by Yunsung/Mr. Cloud, she fills out her outfit very well, and is very pleasing in a number of ways.

* SquareRaceRoundClass: True enough to her "underwater cruiser" title, her skills pertain mainly to surface combat (her barrage doesn't trigger until she surfaces) and enhancing the front line's accuracy. Contrast most subs 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 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 no way in the part.

Representing the Free French Navy (or Les Forces Navales Françaises Libres), this faction in large introduced through the 'The light and dark of Iris' event. Ships of this faction has general traits being fancier rigging compared to other factions, knights and/or royalty motifs, often taking in traits of their namesake. They also bear white and blue colors. In stats, they're mildly akin to Royal Navy ships but a bit better balanced between main gun and torpedo. They are aligned with the Azur Lane faction.

The interesting thing is they have a single faction focus of sorts with the most of the ships introduced in above event that includes Vichy ships (reflecting an ultimately NotSoDifferent element about the two factions).

* BladeOnAStick: Carriers a rather fancy spear with a large tip around, though it has no effect on gameplay.

Representing the Free French Navy (or Les Forces Navales Françaises Libres), this faction has only a few things known about it due to its single ship. Those things being fancier rigging compared to other factions and a tendency towards balanced designs. From the fact that Eagle Union Cruisers are used to unlock its only PR ship (and the only at the moment), It be an Azur Lane ally, though by similar measure, ships associated with occupied France would be likely Red Axis.
