History Characters / AzurLaneIrisLibre

* AttentionWhore: A downplayed example with her swimsuit skin, where she constantly asks the Commander to take photos of her, rub lotion on her, and she knowingly grabs her large thighs for the Commander's eyes to keep focused on her. She's still clearly interested in the Commander's activities however and even asks about his day in the menu screen.

* 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, rub lotion on her, and she even invitingly tugs on her bikini when offering the Commander to touch her.

* TheTease: She very obviously enjoys teasing the Commander with her attractiveness and alluding to doing interpretably-lewd things without being serious about them (like mentioning a "nap in the grass together" in her friendly line), although at higher affection and on oathing, she can't hide her genuine attraction for the Commander. Several of her swimsuit skin lines has her ask the Commander as well to take photos of her and rub lotion on her in a suggestive manner.

* WingdingEyes: When groped in her swimsuit skin Surcouf react very positively in the form of her eyes pulsating with hearts very strongly.

* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: A shared property of all known Iris Libre and Vichya Dominion main fleet ships. Along with their Vichya sisters, no Iris battleship or battlecruiser follows the conventional battleship firing rules of one shot plus an additional salvo at first and third limit break. For Iris Libre, Richelieu has main gun preload and only one additional salvo and Champagne only ever gets one salvo but has ''incredibly'' fast reloads. Bearn is perhaps the most normal main fleet ship in either French faction, having a similar gimmick to Zeppy as a carrier with an optional effective light cruiser weapon slot and a guaranteed barrage every 24 seconds if that gun is equipped.

* WitchClassic: Down to her aesthetics and her talks about magic.

* ClarksThirdLaw: References this in one of her voice lines.
-->Sufficiently advanced technology may look like magic, but there are times when human miracles are treated as sacraments. Don't you find it wonderful that humans can perform such divine works?
* HolyHalo: She has one, but it's more obvious in her Sorcière on Ice skin where you can see it's actually a double halo.
* HotWitch: Her main aesthetic.

* DifferentAsNightAndDay: From Joffre. While Joffre is quick to judge, cynical and has an edge to her, Painleve is sweet and hopeful.

* TheGhost: Clemenceau, the third Richelieu class battleship[[note]]which was laid down but never completed[[/note]], has been mentioned but so far has not made an actual appearance.

!Faction-wide Tropes
* AlphaStrike: Both French faction's Battleships come with their first salvo pre-loaded, allowing for them to get their munitions down range much sooner than their contemporaries. Combine Jean Bart's damage multipliers with Richelieu's and Champagne's innately high Firepower and you can wipe out enemy fleets before they have a chance to react.

!Heavy Cruisers (CA)

[[folder: The ''Saint-Louis''-class]]
!!Saint Louis
!!!Voiced by: Creator/AsamiSeto

The personification of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Louis-class_cruiser Saint-Louis]]-class heavy cruiser, designed as successor to Algerie-class. Her design and construction ended with France's invasion and eventual surrender to Germany. As befitting her namesake, she appears with a spear and in armor.

* KillItWithFire: Her "Reinforced HE Ammo" skill boosts her damage with it but lowers ignite chance (static 3% reduction)

* ShoutOut: Both her Reinforced HE Ammo and Engine Boost skills are references to ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarships''[[note]] At the time of her introduction; while the "Engine Boost" skill remains relatively similar, Reinforced HE's inspiration, ''Inertia Fuse for HE Shells'' (IFHE) was reworked to provide only 25% increased penetration at the cost of cutting base fire chance in half[[/note]]: "Inertia Fuse for HE Shells" captain skill [[note]]Increase HE penetration by 30% and -3% fire chance[[/note]] and "Engine Boost" consumable [[note]]the Saint-Louis version increases top speed by 20% for 180 seconds[[/note]] respectively.

!!Brest
!!!! Voiced By: Creator/SayakaSenbongi

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Brest has blonde hair, and does not have a mean bone in her body- even her upset line is asking the Commander to "compose yourself and press onward".

!Battleships (BB)
[[folder: The ''Richelieu''-class]]
!!Richelieu
!!!Voiced by: Creator/MarinaInoue

The Personification of battleship of the same name, named after the famed Cardinal. She makes an unplayable appearance during the storyline of "Iris of the Light and the Dark", proclaiming herself the leader of the Iris Libre (and also quite prominent in Jean Bart's memories). She stars in, and became playable in, the "Skybound Oratorio" event which commemorates ''Azur Lane''[='s=] third overall anniversary.

* BeneathTheMask: She puts on a strong stoic front for her role as leader, but in her swimsuit skin she shows a less serious side. All in all she doesn't seem to mind this, but appreciates breaks.
** Even in regards to her position and religious fervour, she's much less fanatical about it than we were initially lead to believe.

[[folder: The ''Champagne''-class]]

!!!Voiced by: {{Creator/Lynn}}

The personification of Champagne, part of the third batch of the VideoGame/WorldOfWarships collaboration Research ships.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Much like [[Characters/AzurLaneIronblood Roon]], the Champagne-class is completely made up by Wargaming. In VideoGame/WorldOfWarships, she is essentially a copy of [[Characters/AzurLaneVichyaDominion Gascogne]]'s hull with the armaments of the never-finished [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alsace-class_battleship Alsace-class battleships]].

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

---> '''Champagne''': People who seek happiness eagerly anticipate gifts. Those who desire warmth pin their hopes on confessions. Minds starved for affection become enraptured by dulcent smells. Existences tainted with excitement cannot refuse the sweetness of acceptance.

!Submarines (SS)

[[folder: The ''Surcouf''-class]]
!!Surcouf
!!!Voiced by: Creator/ManamiNumakura

* AttentionWhore: A downplayed example with her swimsuit skin, where she constantly asks the Commander to take photos of her, rub lotion on her, and she knowingly grabs her large thighs for the Commander's eyes to keep focused on her. She's still clearly interested in the Commander's acitivties however and even asks about his day in the menu screen.

* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: As far as her swimsuit skin is concerned anyway, where despite not being one of the chubbier ships, she still has major assets in terms of hips and thighs, which her skin overtly places on with its animation and default pose of her outright grabbing her thighs to grab the Commander's (and player's) attention. She is very aware of the fact that she has a mature physique compared to other submarines but is still one regardless, as per her introductory quote. This is a reference however to the actual submarine being one of the largest in the world at the time, if not, ''the'' largest.

* 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)

* BladeOnAStick: Carries a exceptionally large one, the blade itself being as long as she is tall.

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

* {{Expy}}: Looking at her, one could easily be forgiven for thinking that [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Saber]] had somehow become a cruiser, while gaining the abilities of [[LightNovel/FateApocrypha Ruler]] too. Said Ruler is ''also'' the spirit of Jeanne d'Arc and is one of the "Saberfaces" whose design takes cues from the original Saber, with this Jeanne d'Arc also having elements of Ruler in her appearance, especially outfit.

* TheGhost: Clemenceau, the third Richelieu class battleship, has been mentioned but so far has not made an actual appearance.
