* NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: Named after writer and author Alfredo Oriani [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfredo_Oriani,_who_ is considered by some to be the precursor to fascism]].

* BoobsOfSteel: Their offense/defense easily match their bustlines.

* BoobsOfSteel: Very busty and very powerful as a Super Rare Battleship. She has the ability to unleash a barrage at her enemies or weaken their defense to make her punches feel more powerful, alongside having the ability to cause her breasts to jiggle with the slightest movement if her animated swimsuit skin is to be believed.

* CameraFiend: She's constantly toting her camera around and taking photos whenever she can.
** Is played for laughs extensively in Aquilifer's Ballade where she is constantly distracted by all sorts of potential "Photo ops", much to the chagrin of Emanuele Pessagno. She most infamously chases Hai Tien and Ping Hai with her camera trying to get pictures of them.
* TheDitz: Is '''very''' much this in Aquilifer's Ballade where she seems in some scenes to be unable to grasp the situation around her. For instance when Hai Tien mentions that isn't running away the natural thing to do when someone suspicious is chasing her with a camera, Alfredo's response is:

!!Vincenzo Gioberti

!!Carabiniere
!!!Voiced by: Creator/RikaTachibana

* ThatCameOutWrong: During Empyreal Tragicomedy she attempts to explain to Formidable that she fights by using her greater maneuverability as a destroyer class ship to outmaneuver slower ship classes like aircraft carriers. Unfortunately, Formidable gets upset over being described as "lumbering" and precedes to beat her down while she attempts to [[VerbalBackpedaling backpedal]].

!!Duca degli Abruzzi[[labelnote:*]]full name: Luigi di Savoia Duca Degli Abruzzi[[/labelnote]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/HiromiHirata

* FaceOfAThug: Nowhere near to the extent of, say, [[Characters/AzurLaneIronblood Friedrich der Grosse]], but it's there. She has a [[RedRightHand mechanical hand]], an ominous halo with a black-and-pink color scheme suggesting it's anything but holy, and her base art depicts her standing on...''something'' that has monstrous exposed teeth and gums straight out of a BodyHorror anime. Despite all this, Duca degli Abruzzi is a gallant and honorable warrior.

!!Giuseppe Garibaldi
!!!Voiced by: Creator/MegumiToda

* IntimateMarks: Her initial artworks by Ohisashiburi --even her official cameo in Abruzzi's swimsuit skin art-- has her sporting a tribal tattoo spanning from her left breast to her abdomen. This ultimately did not make it into her final design, as Ohisashiburi removed it supposedly due to complaints from the Japanese community. If anything, one could be led to believe that she wore a very impressively designed temporary tattoo.

!!Trento
!!!Voiced by: Sakura Nakamura

* {{Expy}}: She's a dead ringer for Camilla from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' in terms of design, personality and background. In terms of design, both are busty MsFanservice girls with similar long purple-blue hair, which covers one eye [[note]] left for Camilla, right for Trento [[/note]]. In terms of personality both are the CuddleBug type that shower the player character with affection, though Trento is a genuine NiceGirl without a catch other than being a bit ditzy, and while Camilla can be nice and ditzy too, she can lapse into {{Yandere}} territory. In terms of background, both serve Empires and are one of the "heavy" units you field in the game [[note]] with Camilla being a Malig Knight and Trento being a heavy cruiser [[/note]].

!!Trieste
!!!Voiced by: Sakura Nakamura

!!Zara
!!!Voiced by: Creator/AtsumiTanezaki

!!Pola
!!!Voiced by: Creator/AtsumiTanezaki

The fourth ship of the Zara-class heavy cruisers. Obtainable on the rerun of the Empyrean Tragicomedy event.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Implied in her facial expressions in her bikini skin when the Commander (inaudibly) tells her that Zara taught him how to swim, given that Pola clearly suspects a TwoPersonPoolParty was a part of her sister's lessons. Given how suggestive Zara herself is with the Commander in her bikini skin about her "swimming lessons", Pola can't exactly be blamed. If her affinity is also at like level, she'll ask which of the twins the Commander likes more.
** Subverted if she gives you a Valentine's day gift, as her quote refers to how she wants the Commander to enjoy her ''and'' Zara's chocolate.

!!Gorizia
!!!Voiced by: Creator/KotomiAihara

!!Bolzano
!!!Voiced by: Creator/RyokoMaekawa

!!Conte di Cavour
!!!Voiced by: Ayaka Shimizu

!!Giulio Cesare
!!!Voiced by: Ayaka Shimizu

* TheRival: She has an ''intense'' sense of rivalry with Warspite... and a bit like Zuikaku and Enterprise, [[UnknownRival it feels a bit one-sided]], as the event doesn't have Warspite take ''that'' much notice of Cesare, and Warspite didn't have any voice lines added for Cesare specifically. Cesare herself is absolutely bent on getting a rematch, though.

!!Andrea Doria
!!!Voiced by: Creator/HarunoFujiwara

* LegFocus: It's hard to tell ingame because of cropping, but she has very long legs. In her default appearance they seem to make up about 3/5th of her body.

!!Class-wide tropes

!!Vittorio Veneto
!!!Voiced by: Creator/MamikoNoto

The personification of the battleship of the same name and name ship of her class. Similar to Iris Libre's Richelieu from the "Iris of Light and Dark" event, Vittorio Veneto made her debut appearance as an [[NonPlayerCharacter NPC]] in the "Empyreal Tragicomedy" event before being [[PromotedToPlayable added as a playable character]] in the later "Daedalian Hymn" event. She is a leader of the Sardegnian Empire and flagship of the Imperial Navy.
* AttentionWhore: Subverted in the animated trailer for Daedalian Hymn. When relaxing in her bikini and posed like a supermodel, someone who is very likely the Commander given that it's from an anonymous first person perspective, snaps a photo of her, and this time it's to her surprise as opposed to a constant request like with Surcouf. Rather then get captivated by her own beauty like Littorio upon looking at the photo he took, she is more happy that the Commander took it for her at all.

* DamageIncreasingDebuff: The Eternal Flagship skill normally lets Vittorio Veneto fire a special barrage for lots of damage, but if it doesn't, a random enemy ship will take increased damage for a few seconds as compensation.

* RedBaron: She's known as "The Eternal Flagship"

* WeightWoe: Seemingly so in her swimsuit skin despite her supermodel looks. Headpatting her[[note]]which, because of a coding quirk of her skin, is actually triggered by touching [[PixelHunt the empty space to the left of her left knee]] -- likely because character heads are normally around that position in most skins[[/note]] will cause her to pinch a bit of her own belly fat that was all but nonexistent before she touched it. She grimaces and emits flying [[SweatDrop sweat drops]] as she does this, suggesting she is really hurting herself trying to get what little bit she is pinching, is overly self-conscious about such a tiny amount of fat, [[TakeAThirdOption or both]]. She has no spoken lines mentioning it, leaving her opinion on it ambiguous. On the other hand, the animation the player sees upon purchasing the skin has her trace her finger on her tricep, showing her soft skin giving way to it, and this is seemingly played for titillation on her part.

!!Littorio
!!!Voiced by: Creator/ShizukaIto

* FanservicePack: Her 'Calabria Aurea' formal skin definitely cranks up the sex appeal. She's lounging on a couch like a scene from a romance novel, wearing a dress that's halfway between a ballgown and lingerie, her even more generous assets barely covered, a glass of wine in hand and a rose between her teeth. She even wonders if the commander is there to challenge her to see who can romance the most girls.

* HiddenBuxom: An odd case - she isn't exactly lacking in the upper deck department in her standard attire, but her party dress, on the other hand, gives her a chest on par with ''Taihou''[='=]s.

** Most of her affection lines have her be extremely supportive of the commander, and she's genuinely quite nice to the commander, despite her ego.
* HistoricalInJoke: Her inverted GatheringSteam effect is likely a reference to the very short barrel life of her cannons, which achieved extraordinary muzzle velocity at the cost of having about half the barrel life of other countries' 15-inch guns. This trade-off was likely motivated in real life by Italy's particular naval circumstances as an almost purely Mediterranean power - Italy could always be reasonably confident of access to advanced port facilities where maintenance like barrel changes could easily be performed, while the various other navies could expect to be away from good ports for much longer due to long Pacific patrols (US, UK, France, and Japan) or long Atlantic surface raiding patrols (Germany), and thus favored more conservative ballistics that gave much longer barrel lives.
** [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannone_da_381/50_Ansaldo_M1934 Her personal gun]] in Azur Lane is also one of the best AP gun available for battleships and battlecruisers, a nod to its real life counterpart, despite its smaller caliber compared to guns from other nations, being praised to be one of the best naval cannons ever mounted on a battleship, with performance nearly on-par with top dogs like 406 mm MK7 gun (mounted on Iowa-class battleships) and 460 mm gun mounted on Yamato-class battleship, albeit only lose to them in term of deck armor penetration (due to higher muzzle velocity, thus flattened its flying arc somewhat. With such a muzzle velocity, the gun barrel would wear down pretty quick, reflecting in-game by having its reload timer increased after three main gun salvos.

!!Roma
!!!Voiced by: Creator/YuiKondo

-->Sadly, I did not get to enlighten the world with my splendor during the war.You've given me a second chance, and for that, I'm in your debt.

!!Marco Polo
!!!Voiced by: Creator/SachikaMisawa

* AliceAllusion: The end of her scepter is evocative of the Queen of Hearts.
** All subtlety about the allusion was tossed overboard with her first paid skin outright being named "The Queen of Hearts."

** She wants you to be her Rustichello -- the man who actually wrote down Polo's tales into book form. And then she asks you to "omit her mistakes." ''The Travels'' is known for being a little...[[UnreliableNarrator hard to believe]] at points, even at the time the book was published. Whether Polo, Rustichello, or both were the ones exaggerating is up for debate.

* NaughtyNuns: Well, an outright Naughty ''Pope'' in this case. But if the discarded items beside her in her "The Queen of Hearts" skin are any indication, some of Marco's lingerie is ''very'' daring, such that even a game as Fanservice-heavy as this one couldn't get away with showing her actually wearing it.
* SarcasticDevotee: Outright states that she thinks she'd make a better Sardegnan flagship than Veneto, and it's implied she'd be happy to take your position as Commander. Seems a little of Littorio's ego rubbed off on her.
** As of one of the [[TheStinger stingers]] of ''Tower of Transcendence'', [[spoiler: she appears fully ready to incite conflict with Iris Libre in Vittorio's absence by attempting to steal their holy relics. Her willingness to perform acts of aggression while Vittorio is not there to stop her might have upgraded her to SinisterMinister at best and outright [[TheStarscream Starscream]] at worst.]]
* ShoutOut: Her Stranger affinity line has her bring out her inner [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders DIO]]. And this is no invention of the localization team -- she uses essentially a [[UsefulNotes/GenderAndJapaneseLanguage feminized version]] of DIO's memetic line in the Japanese version.

* SuperPrototype: As with all Research ships. In VideoGame/WorldOfWarships, Marco Polo is essentially a slightly altered ''Littorio''-class, with the chief difference being 406mm gun batteries instead of 381mm.

!!Aquila
!!!Voiced by: Rei Mochizuki

* CarryABigStick: She carries a large cane in her default skin, and uses it to whack the Commander should she get down to "disappointed" affinity

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Her EstablishingCharacterMoment in "Daedalian Hymn" has her spacing out while deploying her planes, and needing to be told a second time by Vittorio to recall them.

* HumbleHero: Not one to blow her own trumpet, she feels she still has much to learn before she can be spoken of in the same breath as Vittorio Veneto or Littorio.
** She does get called out on this tendency, insofar as doing it nonstop will make her come across as insincere.

[[folder: ''Vittorio Veneto''-class]]
!!Impero
!!!Voiced by: Nichika Oomori

* NoNudityTaboo: Implied with her suggestion to spend the duration of a tea party ''inside a bathtub'', and she seems to have no qualms inviting the Commander to join her while bathing -- even at [[RelationshipValues Stranger affinity]]. It should be noted that, at least in the English translation, she uses the word "bathtub" specifically rather than a larger public bath, such as the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermae thermae]] that would not be out of place in Sardegna.

!Submarines ([=SS=])
[[folder: ''Brin''-class]]
!!Torricelli
!!!Voiced by: Creator/KaedeHondo

* {{Expy}}: She looks quite a bit like a pallette-swapped [[{{Franchise/Pokemon}} Hex Maniac]] wearing a one-piece swimsuit.

* ShesGotLegs: It's hard to tell ingame because of cropping, but she has very long legs. In her default appearance they seem to make up about 3/5th of her body.

* {{Foil}}: To her sisters Zara and Pola. Whereas the duo have more forward personalities and are otherwise aggressive in their interactions with the Commander, Gorizia is shier and more reserved, usually expecting the Commander to act first.

* OjouRinglets
* ShesGotLegs: Her default skin gives her longer legs than Cyd Charisse.

* VerbalTic: "Arimasu!" Carabiniere tends to use this particular verb, and this particular grammatical construction, quite often as a full arimasu is [[{{Keigo}} fairly polite and formal]] compared to alternatives; it's part of what marks her as a bit too serious for her own good.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The ''Capitani Romani'' class was originally a class of light cruisers. After the second World War, this class would be re-classed and re-designated as the ''San Giorgio'' class of destroyers.

* PeekABangs: She always has one eye covered by her bangs.

* SomethingAboutARose: She's often seen holding a rose, and her barrage skill is called "Rosa Bombardamento" or "Rose Bombardment".

** She says being enveloped by a searchlight makes her uneasy, since several ships sent to rescue her (including Zara) were sunk after the British illuminated them.

* HistoricalInJoke:
** Her low HP line has her say her turret won't move, a reference to the Battle of Cape Spartivento where a hit from the HMS Berwick disabled one of her two main batteries.
** She says being enveloped by a searchlight makes her uneasy, since she was sunk after the British illuminated her at Cape Matapan.
