24	-->''I'm the Type [=VIIB=] Submarine U-47. I'm bad with crowds. If you don't need me then I'll go back home.''
25
26	* ColdSniper: She speaks little, appears rather distant and cold, and sinks your enemy from underwater with pretty startling efficiency.
27	* {{Combos}}: Her main schtick besides being a loner. With her first skill, after scoring a hit on any enemy, subsequent torpedos hitting the same target in a limited time frame can do up to 40% extra damage, it helps that submarine torpedos are fired in consecutive fashion.
28	* CoolMask: Scarf with patterns that look like the jaws of a skeleton.
29	* DefrostingIceQueen: U-47 sets up shop in her commander's office because of how quiet it is despite her being, by her own admission, no good for secretarial work. When she reaches "Crush" levels of affection she awkwardly turns down an open invitation to relax in the office whenever she wants as she's becoming anxious when she's alone with the commander. When she hits "Love" she confesses to now be always thinking how badly she wants to be back in the office when she's on missions before telling the commander that she doesn't think she can live without them anymore.
30	* IWorkAlone: Gets a hunting area bonus and extra damage to battleships if she's the only submarine in the fleet, though it's usually more useful to have a full subfleet.
31	* LeotardOfPower: Wears an unzipped swimsuit that gives her a CleavageWindow.
32	* NavelDeepNeckline: It appears that U47's leotard is one size too small for her to keep the zippers closed.
33	* RedBaron: "The Bull of Scapa Flow" which was the nickname of her Commander Günther Prien, and here is the name of one of her skills.
34	* SkeletonMotif: The lines on her scarf and her leotard drive a skeleton motif, possibly in reference to her successful raiding history of sinking over 30 ships, including a battleship.
35	* VaporWear: Her tank top is rather translucent and she's wearing no bra in her summer skin.

42
43	-->''U-73 of the Iron Blood, reporting for duty! If there's anything that needs doing, just leave it to me!''
44	* CoolBigSister: Fancies herself this but she's not quite qualified for it. On the Chinese server, she explicitly calls herself the commander's big sister[[note]]The acquisition and "Like" lines[[/note]], but this is omitted in English lines as this is a more implied trope by how she treats him.
45	* MadScientist: Her "Science Rules!" skin has her playing with / throwing around scientific beakers and her Manjuu ''playing with fire'', although the mini-story portrays that she has some ways to go until she can catch up with Akashi or Yuubari.

52
53
54	-->''Hey! You! That commander over there! How 'bout coming for a ride on my Great Shark? I'll show you real thrillin' time!''
55	* BadassBiker: Her design invokes this, as her submarine has handlebars that she drives like a motorcycle complete with pedals. One of her skills reflects this as she zooms ahead of the normal position for a time.

66
67	* FashionableAsymmetry: Her jacket sports one long sleeve and one really short sleeve.
68	* IdiotHair: Sports a very large ahoge.
69	* TechnicolorEyes: Gold-ish eyes with [[ExoticEyeDesigns blue rhomboid-shaped pupils.]]

76
77	-->''Sup. I'm U-96, Type VIIC U-boat and member of the famous Vorwärts wolfpack. Hehe, I'll have you drowning in reports of my success soon enough.''
78
79	The personification of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_submarine_U-96_(1940) U-boat U-96]] — who is, yes, literally [[Film/DasBoot That Boat]]. One of the most accomplished U-boats of the entire war, she is credited with dozens of freighter kills, partook in some of the most infamous wolfpack actions of the war, and was later the focus of one of the most famous submarine films of all time.
80	----
81	* TheAce: Comes with being That Boat, and she's very aware of it.
82	* CriticalHitClass: One of her skills boosts her torpedo critical hit rate.
83	* EarlyBirdCameo: on the wall of her casual/gaming skin is a picture of Z46 in a dress; an early look at Z46's idol skin.
84	* GamerChick: If her secondary skin is to be believed.
85	* GirlishPigtails: Sports them in her regular skin, but loses them in her secondary skin.
86	* HellishPupils: Her pupils are thin vertical slits, she also has SupernaturalGoldEyes to boot.
87	* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her gaming skin, which has her wearing a see-through camisole, a small set of panties and not much else.

94
95	-->''I once swore an oath to Neptune Himself to protect Big Brother Bismarck wherever and whenever I was needed!... but there ''are'' some things I can't quite do alone... haha...''
96
97	The personification of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_submarine_U-556 Kriegsmarine U-boat U-556]], Bismarck's "sibling-in-the-ways" - while they're hardly the same ship class, they were under construction together in adjacent docks at Hamburg, 556 being hull-completed about the same time Bismarck got a final fitting out and got commissioned. When the time came for 556's commission, her captain couldn't find a band... and Bismarck's captain obliged with Bismarck's own band. In return, 556's captain "swore an oath before Neptune" to protect "Big Brother Bismarck" wherever Bismarck needed help.\
98
99	It was mostly in jest at the time, though it would turn out to be much more serious than anyone realized...
100	----
101	* BigBrotherWorship: 556 thinks the world of Bismarck, and is really serious about her promise to do anything to help Bismarck.
102	* ADayInTheLimelight:
103	** "Scherzo of Iron and Blood" is really just as much 556's story as it is Bismarck's.
104	** Additionally, a few days before the actual launch of "Scherzo", she got a dedicated mini-event of her own that serves as a prologue and introduced an ''entirely new sub-based game mode'', seemingly as an experiment, featuring naval mines for the first time as well as more in-depth diving and submarine-stealth mechanics.
105	* ThePromise: She swore an oath before Neptune to protect Bismarck. [[spoiler:She kept it.]]
106	* {{Stripperiffic}}: Substantially moreso than 81 or 557; she gives '''Albacore''' a run for her money in the BarelyThereSwimwear competition. Her party dress, needless to say, is substantially more sensible.

115
116	-->''Type [=VIIC=] submarine, U-557, reporting in. My luck isn't so good. Please don't worry too much, just leave me alone... The mission... I'll do it properly.''
117
118	* BornUnlucky: She introduces herself by saying she's unlucky, and she's not joking -- she has only 18 in her LuckStat.[[note]]Her real life counterpart ended up getting rammed and sunk by the Italian torpedo boat ''Orione'', who mistook her for a British sub[[/note]]
119	* {{Sleepyhead}}: Doesn't appear in her line, but in her chibi sprite this goes up to the point where she's sleepwalking ''during combat''.
120	* TroubledFetalPosition: Does this as one of her idle animations.

127	!!!Voiced by: Mayuka Nomura
128	-->Commander! Yeah, you! Get back here! You're supposed to greet me! Listen up, I'm the Iron Blood submarine U-1206, and I'll be serving here starting today! And don't forget next time!
129
130	* AnimalMotif: A spectral shark of all things.
131	* BigRedButton: One of her voice lines has her finding one and deciding to press it, only to immediately panic. [[note]]It's another reference to the toilet incident that got her sunk, since it was the result of the Captain, of all people, using the sub's complicated toilet flushing system incorrectly and accidentally causing flooding that forced them to surface[[/note]]
132	* HistoricalInJoke: This submarine had the dubious distinction of a malfunctioning toilet leading to circumstances that would result in her sinking, and as such, her search area is shaped like a toilet. Her impulsive personality is also an allusion to this.
133	* WhatDoesThisButtonDo: Her personality; as she's quick to do stuff without thinking.

143
144	-->''Raaaawr. U-110 is a shaaaark. Fear meeee. Mess with me and I'll bite yooouuu.''
145
146	* ADayInTheLimelight: ''The Enigma and the Shark'', her introductory mini-event which was an ''AL'' retelling of Operation Primrose. She ultimately loses to her Royal Navy opposition, but the story has a happier ending than RealLife since she at least escapes alive.[[note]]In reality, U-110 was captured by the British, and sunk while they were attempting to haul it to Iceland.[[/note]]
147	* AlternateHistory: In the Azur Lane universe, U-110 successfully evaded capture by HMS Bulldog, but nonetheless still ended up surrendering the Enigma machine and other cipher decryption materials to her.
148	* AnimalMotifs: Her rigging is shaped like a shark, she's holding a pistol whose barrel is shaped like a shark, she has a shark-themed hoodie complete with teeth surrounding the opening, and she insists that she ''is'' a shark.
149	* DidntThinkThisThrough: In ''The Enigma and the Shark'', she leaves behind the backpack containing the Enigma machine to serve as a deterrent to Bulldog giving chase to U-556 and her. She doesn't quite realize the gravity of this mistake until U-556 asks about the machine's whereabouts.[[note]]The Allies' ability to decrypt Enigma-encoded communications was described by no less than UsefulNotes/DwightDEisenhower as a "decisive" component of their victory. While the Allies were decrypting German communications long before U-110's capture, the full copy of the ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurzsignale Kurzsignale]]'' short code book present on U-110 provided a major leap in the decryption efforts.[[/note]]
150	* GeniusDitz: Despite having the mentality of a child, she manages to make a hobby out of decrypting ciphers.
151	* HollywoodEncryption: U-110 manages to turn the very involved science of cryptography into a kid's plaything. Granted, [[InformedAbility we don't actually get to see what sort of data she is working with]].
152	* IdiotHair: Her cowlick and bob cut combine to make her white hair look like a bulb of garlic. 110 expresses some annoyance that people don't instead see it as a shark fin.
153	* InTheHood: Has a hooded cape with shark teeth circling the opening.
154	* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Constantly attempts to convince people she is a dangerous shark and that she should be feared. She usually comes across as just the opposite.
155	* OddFriendship: Some of her lines suggest she's struck one of these with former enemy Bulldog after joining Azur Lane.
156	* RandomEffectSpell: When called into combat, she will provide one out of a list of six possible buffs to every Ironblood ship you control, both beneath the surface and above.
157	* SillyAnimalSound: Whenever she's pretending to be an intimidating shark, she'll belt out a "raaawr" ("gaoooo" in Japanese) which is closer what a big cat's roar would be. [[note]]An accurate shark vocalization would be ''silence'' -- they completely lack vocal cords, [[{{Film/Jaws}} despite Steven Spielberg's attempt to convince you otherwise]].[[/note]]
158	* ThreateningShark: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] -- U-110 is about the least threatening shark-themed character you'll find, despite her efforts.
159	* VerbalTic: Has a habit of drawing out voooooowels, particularly at the end of her seeeeeentences. Raaaawr.

171
172	* HistoricalInJoke: She mentions she's not the submarine featured in the ''49th Parallel'' film, despite also being called U-37.

185
186	* TheTease: She's always teasing the commander, telling him she has caught him ogling at her and that maybe they should get to know each other more intimately, although she said it as a joke as she'll drop the tease act if you do the special touch.
