History Characters / AmbienceAFleetSymphonyFive

!Orion-class

* TheMusketeer: All Orion-class battleships and Erin carry and use sabres in conjunction with infantry firearms and their naval cannons, contrasting with [[spoiler:the Warspites]] who don't use guns in infantry actions.
* RoyalRapier: not a rapier, per se, but a cavalry officer's sabre made of Smartsteel capable of ParryingBullets and cannon shells, to the extent that they can cut incoming cannon shells in half.
* {{Shoutout}}: the basic character designs of the entire Orion-Class are taken from those created by [[https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1742569?tags=hms_orion_%28siirakannu%29 siirakannu]].

!!Orion

* {{Alcohol}}: her favorite kind is rum.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: is subjected to one when Damon orders her NOT to drink any ginger ale when his cousin delivers a fresh, cold case of the beverage to them. Her response?
--> Orion: "You are utterly cruel! Did your country not compose its founding documents to include the outlawing of cruel and unusual punishments?!"
* DeadpanSnarker: makes a few quips of her own from time to time.
* HiddenDepths: while she and her sisters all have taken a good liking to ginger ale during their stay in Chicago, Orion loves the stuff to the point where her sisters tease her over it whenever they get the chance.
* LampshadeHanging:
** points out the absurdity of the giant lindworm controlled by [[spoiler:the Abyssal]].
** also wonders why outdated World War I battleships like herself and her sisters would be chosen as ship girl candidates and constructed. This being said, the introduction of H.M.S. Warspite, both canon and in-story, makes this lampshade hanging quite amusing.
* NoodleIncident: not one that she herself was involved in, but her sisters Conqueror and Thunderer were, along with Kongou: the Re-Class apparently painted a town red because one of the Inner Circle personnel in the town of Boulogne-sur-Mer refused to give her some fuel.

!!Monarch

* {{Alcohol}}: her favorite kind is whiskey.
* DeadpanSnarker: frequently makes quips and witty remarks to those around her based off what she happens to hear. It helps break her usual TheStoic mold.
* {{Shoutout}}: when she describes the Abyssals:
--> Monarch: [[Film/ThreeHundred "By nature, they fight in the shade - or, in this case, from the depths of the oceans below."]]
* TheStoic: always professional and level-headed. Except for when she trolls people.
* {{Troll}}: chapter 185 firmly establishes her as this, as she loves to tease the hell out of her older sister Orion and encourages Damon's own trolling of Orion when ginger ale gets involved.

!!Conqueror

* {{Alcohol}}: her favorite kind is scotch.
* NoodleIncident: along with Kongou, she and Thunderer were present at one bloody incident in which the Re-Class apparently painted a town red because one of the Inner Circle personnel in the town of Boulogne-sur-Mer refused to give her some fuel.
* {{Shoutout}}: mimics the Warden's execution from VideoGame/ForHonor in chapter 301.

!!Thunderer

* {{Alcohol}}: her favorite kind is tequila.
* AnalogyBackfire: when she makes her BadassBoast of "Our torpedoes will blot out the sun", she realizes that they're now operating at night, so her metaphor doesn't really work anymore. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Besides, how are torpedoes supposed to blot out the sun while underwater?]]
* {{BFG}}: uses a light machine gun, an L86-A2 Light Support Weapon, as her primary firearm for land engagements.
* NoodleIncident: along with Kongou, she and Conqueror were present at one bloody incident in which the Re-Class apparently painted a town red because one of the Inner Circle personnel in the town of Boulogne-sur-Mer refused to give her some fuel.
* {{Shoutout}}: given the staggering amount of torpedo power the Combined Fleet has, with even the battleships equipped with double torpedo launcher modules, this is what she says:
--> Thunderer: [[Film/ThreeHundred "Our torpedoes will blot out the sun!"]]
** mimics the Orochi's execution from VideoGame/ForHonor in chapter 301.

!!Erin

* {{BFG}}: uses a light machine gun, an L86-A2 Light Support Weapon, as her primary firearm for land engagements.
* BoomHeadshot: executes an enemy He-Class by slicing half of its head off with her sabre.
* DeadpanSnarker: in chapter 300, she makes two, an all-time record: one at Wakamiya and one at Warspite.
* ImmuneToFlinching: Erin's passive ability Hardline prevents her from ever flinching in battle.
* IneffectualLoner: Damon finds out that she's very much so this when he talks to her at New Chicago. Erin explains that this is because historically, she felt isolated as a warship and didn't feel like she ever really interacted with other ships that much.
* LikeCannotCutLike: averted in Erin's case: her passive ability Hardline specifically gives her an additional 25% damage buff when attacking enemy battleships.
* MightyGlacier: slightly zig-zagged by her entry in the stat sheet: she has 12s in attack, defense, and intelligence and a 10 in endurance, but a 1 in speed. At the same time, while she has the highest armor point rating in the whole fleet at 3000, she only has an abysmal 1000 hit points, the lowest for any battleship in the fleet. There are destroyers in the fleet who have more hit points than she does.
* TheMusketeer: uses guns and a Smartsteel rapier, just like the Orion-Class.
* TheQuietOne: Doesn't speak much.
* RoyalRapier: uses a Smartsteel sabre that the Orion-Class also use.
* SmallGirlBigGun: Erin is explicitly stated to be the shortest battleship among the British battleships who join Damon's fleet after Operation London, yet there's no reason why her ship guns are any smaller than her peers', plus she even uses a machine gun as her primary firearm while most of the Orion-Class use L85-A2 assault rifles.
* {{Shoutout}}: like the Orion-Class, the basic character design Erin is taken from that created by [[https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1763603?tags=hms_erin_(siirakannu) siirakannu]].
* StatusBuffDispel: Erin has an inversion of this with her passive ability Hardline, which makes her completely immune to all enemy debuffs.

!U-511

* TheAce: amongst submarine girls. Her stats, as are all German ship girls', are leaps and bounds better than any other submarine's, and her armor point, health point, and maximum level cap ratings are easily on par with a destroyer's.
* ColdSniper: more like soft-spoken, but one nonetheless.
* FightingYourFriend: [[spoiler:she gets called in by Blackwood to neutralize the American ship girls who go in to secure the DSM in Westminster, Virginia, so that Blackwood and his forces can capture them...[[FridgeLogic but then again, U-511 has never met these four and thus would never know that they were working with Damon.]]]]
* GermanicEfficiency: reinforced in the passive ability "German Engineering" that all German ship girls share, which allows all of them to have their fatigue and insanity gain rates reduced by 50%.
* PoirotSpeak: subverted, the German ship girls only use a few German words sprinkled in their English speech. U-511 may be the most frequent user of this, but that's probably only because she happens to have the most screen time in the story.
* {{Shoutout}}: while the other submarines only reference the Ghost's Cloaking ability, U-511 practically ''is'' a [[VideoGame/StarCraftI Ghost]]: on top her own personal Cloaking, she carries the C-10 Canister Rifle (which itself is a MythologyGag to the AlternateUniverse Fanfic/AmbiencePlatoonMoebiusFour storyline) that's capable of small arms fire and deploying Lockdown amphibious torpedoes. Several dialogue lines of hers are even taken straight from the Ghost's dialogue lines.
* TookALevelInBadass: all the German ship girls are down-to-Earth and all business. When they're assigned to fight with the Combined Fleet once they arrive in Germany to assist them in their conflict against the NDP, all the German ship girls get to work and fight alongside Japanese and British ship girls alike. U-511 especially takes the cake for this, if only for the fact that her role as a Ghost and the sheer utility of her Canister Rifle has her seeing a lot more diverse action than the rest of her fellow German ship girls do.
* {{Trigger}}: all German ship girls have some kind of passive debuff, perhaps as a NecessaryDrawback to prevent them from being overly superior stats-wise. For U-511, this comes in the form of suffering huge insanity penalties if she witnesses or comes to hear of another German ship girl sinking.

!Unavoidable {{Walking Spoiler}}s past this point! No spoiler markings will be used!

[[folder:Bismarck-Class]]

!Bismarck

* TheAce: Bismarck can be considered a candidate for the strongest overall battleship in the story with 2000 armor points, 4000 health points, and 10's in all stats across the board, with the obvious exception of Cost, which is a 9, but seriously, who cares about that.
* {{BFG}}: her MG-42 deployable machine gun.
* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: she uses a modernized MG-42 as her primary firearm.
* BulletCatch: she catches a 120mm tank shell with her bare hand in chapter 149.
* {{Determinator}}: a big 10 in endurance.
* GermanicEfficiency: reinforced in the passive ability "German Engineering" that all German ship girls share, which allows all of them to have their fatigue and insanity gain rates reduced by 50%.
* GratuitousGerman: averted, all foreign ship girls are fluent in their own native languages.
* LightningBruiser: just look at her stats! She'd even count for MightyGlacier, too, if her speed wasn't also a 10. She's as tanky as Amagi, but with actual armor points to protect the health as well.
* PoirotSpeak: subverted, the German ship girls only use a few German words sprinkled in their English speech.
* TookALevelInBadass: all the German ship girls are down-to-Earth and all business. When they're assigned to fight with the Combined Fleet once they arrive in Germany to assist them in their conflict against the NDP, all the German ship girls get to work and fight alongside Japanese and British ship girls alike.
* {{Trigger}}: all German ship girls have some kind of passive debuff, perhaps as a NecessaryDrawback to prevent them from being overly superior stats-wise. For Bismarck, this comes in the form of taking additional damage from airstrikes and torpedoes, a reference to her RealLife counterpart that was crippled in an airstrike.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Iowa-Class]]

!Iowa (''Fanfic/PacificWorldWarIIUSNavyShipgirls'' version)

The ship girl incarnation of the U.S.S. ''Iowa'', BB-61.

* TabletopGame/{{Chess}}: is seen playing chess with Warspite in chapter 268.
* CutenessProximity: Has this reaction in chapter 239 to Toshi, Damon's pet puppy they picked up from Houston. Aoba and Damon even lampshade this.
* HiddenDepths:
** it's stated that Iowa, Wisconsin, Yorktown, and Enterprise all know how to speak Japanese fluently, and it's yet to be explained why they learned Japanese and how.
** Iowa and Wisconsin have learned how to sew during their time before joining the Combined Fleet.
** apparently, she and the veteran American ship girls are all quite adept at riding horses, having learned the skill out of necessity during the Federation War, as chapter 294 shows.
* HorseArcher: becomes this in chapter 294 - except with rifles.
* MinnesotaNice: She is unfailingly good-natured and polite.
* {{Ojou}}: fits this persona with her persistent politeness in behavior and speech.
* ReluctantWarrior: she's very insistent on not hurting any Americans because she doesn't like the idea of shooting her own people, including the policemen of Chicago during one of their missions. Oddly enough, she's fine with shooting the Secret Service agents, but this may be because she sees them as Blackwood's personal defense force and that they must be eliminated if they get in the way.
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: when Damon, Samidare, and Suzukaze pass her while visiting the U.S.S. Alabama (before Damon technically knows who she is), she's depicted sitting with one standing next to her, a shotgun-umbrella, no less. She's yet to use it in combat, though - but in chapter 242, she's finally seen using it, an [[http://www.ithacagun.com/defense37s.php Ithaca Model 37 pump-action]], in combat.
* {{Shoutout}}: she's seen reading [[http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1266344.Man_After_Man Man After Man]] near the U.S.S. Alabama.
* VeteranUnit: she was part of Seal Team Six (different from Sanford's Seal Team Six), the elite Navy Seal Team that comprised of the four American ship girls and !Samidare, who served throughout the first half of the nuclear apocalypse defending the United States from both human and Abyssal attackers during the Federation War and the Typhoon Wars.

!Iowa (canon version)

* AllohistoricalAllusion: at one point during the fleet's holiday in New Chicago, she's seen wearing a shirt that says,[[MemeticMutation "I MADE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN".]]
* {{BFG}}: her Chain SAW LMG. [[RuleOfCool The variant she's using requires her to hold and fire it at the hip, like she's carrying a minigun.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: pulls one off to interrupt Damon's and Blackwood's fight and manages to barely save his life by knocking aside the shot Blackwood intended to fire at Damon's head and buys him time to pull out the karambit that Blackwood's stabbed him with and throw it back at him to kill him.
* BoobsOfSteel: One of the most endowed ship girls and, being a battleship, monstrously strong, even fighting barehanded in melee.
** in chapter 315, this is taken to the literal extreme when an M109-A7 Howitzers's secondary machine gun shoots her with .50 BMG rounds. Iris takes the bullets in such a way that they mostly hit her in the breasts. Justified, as Iris herself testifies, the human female breast is made of mostly fatty tissue and thus has no serious repercussion of being damaged - but of course, she can only do this because she's a ship girl.
* DefectorFromDecadence: as evidenced by her intervention in the fight between Damon and Blackwood, as she must have actively rebelled against her own command prompt that forces her to recognize Blackwood as her Admiral in order to fight him.
* {{Determinator}}: near the end of Damon's fight with Blackwood, she forces her way into the lab in which the two are fighting to intervene by herself under the influence of an EMP field without the help of her ship strength (because she's forced to turn it off just to be able to get inside the lab without completely succumbing to the EMP field in the first place) and fistfights Blackwood even though she's at severe disadvantages against him. And when you realize that she's probably still got that sword wound received from Warspite, on top of being tired out from fighting against the Warspites before this, it's quite apparent that Iowa is really fighting up a slope when she intervenes at the time she does.
* FeelNoPain: Mogami asks Iris if it didn't hurt getting shot by all those machine gun bullets. Iris says that as a battleship, those bullets are nothing.
* GratuitousEnglish: naturally averted, seeing the trend of the story's depiction of ship girls.
* HorseArcher: becomes this in chapter 294 - except with a grenade-lobbing machine gun.
* InHarmsWay: while she doesn't ''try'' to get herself in harm's way, when danger comes to ''her'' in chapter 313 in the form of an enemy mortar strike, she seems to have a good time carrying Kagerou under her arm like a passenger and running out of the killzone.
* InSeriesNickname: Goes by "Iris" as of chapter 252 in order to distinguish herself from the brunette one.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: she and Warspite (Wikolia) grow quite close.
* MoreDakka: carries three firearms into battle when most ship girls only bother with two: the KAC Chain SAW, the Armsel Striker, and the Desert Eagle Mk. XIX.
** in chapter 334, when she and New Jersey deploy their ship armaments, part of their ship loadouts is an M61-A3 Vulcan Autocannon.
* TheNicknamer: just like Damon, she seems to like doling out nicknames to her friends. Kongou becomes "Konnie", and Warspite becomes "Wicky".
* PluckyGirl: after joining the Combined Fleet, she's always this.
* PunchClockVillain: She demonstrates no eagerness to fight under Blackwood's orders even as she prepares to do so.
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: wields an Armsel Striker high-capacity shotgun as her secondary firearm.
* {{Shoutout}}: while she's become good friends with the rest of the American ship girls and some of the battleships, Iris is especially close with Warspite and Kongou, for whom she has nicknames for, relationships that quite a few other fan artists ship.
** her primary firearm, the KAC Chain SAW light machine gun, is one to the Chainsaw featured in VideoGame/CallOfDutyGhosts, right down to its operating style and its ability to accept an undermounted M-203 grenade launcher.
* SweetTooth: her favorite ice cream is rainbow sherbet.
* TakingTheBullet: in chapter 315, when capturing the last enemy mortar site, Iris blocks a number of .50 BMG machine gun shots for Mogami since it's better for someone like her to tank the hits. What happens next is a different story...
* UnexpectedCharacter: ''Iowa'' having two separate ship girl incarnations existing at the same time, with the sole precedent of ''Samidare'' having both !Samidare and Samidare only because of explicit outside supernatural intervention saving the former's life when she should have died giving birth to the latter, probably caught a lot of readers off guard.

!New Jersey

The ship girl incarnation of USS ''New Jersey'', BB-62. Or she would be if her body had actually been completed. Now she's stuck in her original body as a sapient programme, at least until she finally got a shipgirl body shown on-screen in chapter 284.

* AmazonianBeauty: One of the first things we are told about her shipgirl body is that she is tall and muscular.
* {{BFG}}: lugs an M-249 Squad Automatic Weapon into combat as her primary firearm.
* CompositeCharacter: in this story, New Jersey is the fusion of two independent fanmade designs: one by [[https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1884948?tags=new_jersey_%28pacific%29 jeanex as part of the Pacific: World War II US Navy Shipgirls project]] and one by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11574990/1/Belated-Battleship Belated Battleships]], another Kantai Collection fanfiction.
* TheGlomp: after being introduced to her new Admiral, New Jersey glomps all of her ship sisters.
* GunsAkimbo: at one point during their package recovery mission in chapter 294, New Jersey jumps into the second floor of a barn to clear it of hostiles and enters with her SPAS-12 in one hand and her Desert Eagle in the other.
* {{Handcannon}}: she has a customized Desert Eagle that sports an ornate gold dragon design along its slide, and the narrative also calls it the Black Dragon, the same as J's nickname.
* HealingHands: demonstrates this ability at the end of chapter 313, when she heals the civilian man whom Asashio has shot on accident thinking that he was an enemy mercenary of his otherwise fatal stomach gunshot wound. [[spoiler:When you think about it, [[FridgeLogic doesn't someone else have the power to heal with black flames, too...?]]]]
* HealItWithFire: ties in with the above, for natural reasons. But it appears that, [[spoiler:unlike another certain someone, [[FridgeLogic New Jersey is able to completely heal the man's fatal wound without any consequence or side effect.]]]]
* HorseArcher: becomes this in chapter 294 - except with a machine gun.
* InSeriesNickname: when Suzukaze first meets her at Philadelphia, New Jersey tells her to call her "J", since calling her New Jersey every time can get tiring really fast. When she joins the fleet in chapter 284, she tells Damon to do the same.
* MoreDakka: carries three firearms into battle when most ship girls only bother with two: the M-249 SAW, the Franchi SPAS-12, and the Desert Eagle Mk. XIX.
** in chapter 334, when she and Iris deploy their ship armaments, part of their ship loadouts is an M61-A3 Vulcan Autocannon.
* MyCard: what she hands to the wife of the civilian man whom Asashio has shot in chapter 313, saying that all the property and health damage done will be fully covered.
* OddFriendship: with Suzukaze, to people who don't know their relationship. Indeed, it would be a little odd to the Japanese ship girls to see an American battleship get along so well with a Japanese destroyer.
* PayingForTheActionScene: after she heals the man's stomach wound caused by Asashio, New Jersey gives the wife a card and explains to her that if she calls the number on that card, people will come out to her home to repair the damages done to their walls and even the man's gunshot wound, even though she just healed it herself. Subverted a little because, well, it's most likely not HER money that's being used to pay for those damages.
* PlayingWithFire: she's specifically mentioned to carry Dragon's Breath shells into battle for use with her SPAS-12.
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: uses a SPAS-12 semi-automatic shotgun as her secondary firearm.
* {{Shoutout}}:
** like Haida, New Jersey's gear are one to that of Valkyrie's, a Navy SEAL operator playable in [[VideoGame/RainbowSix Rainbow Six: Siege]], including her SPAS-12 shotgun and her Desert Eagle sidearm.
** the dragon themes that her gear has, such as her Dragon's Breath shotgun shells on her belt and the dragon pattern on her black Desert Eagle, are references to her RealLife nickname, the Black Dragon.
** her design is a fusion of two separate fanmade designs. See CompositeCharacter above.
** just like [[Franchise/StreetFighter Guile]], New Jersey also has USA flags tattooed on her arms.
* StoneWall: becomes this in chapter 294, when she stands in front of an incoming train and brings it to a halt with her bare hands. Granted, Iris had already put on the emergency brake, but still.
* SweetTooth: she loves apple pies, which is a {{Shoutout}} of its own to another Kantai Collection fanfic, Fanfic/BelatedBattleships, whose main character, also New Jersey, also happens to love apple pies.
* ThemeNaming: in case you couldn't tell by now, dragons. Nickname, sidearm, even the ammunition, they're all pretty much dragon-related.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: She probably didn't know what kind of trouble giving Suzukaze the Colossus Reactor augmentation would cause down the line.

!Wisconsin

The ship girl incarnation of the U.S.S. "Wisconsin', BB-64. Based on Wisconsin from ''Fanfic/PacificWorldWarIIUsNavyShipgirls''.

* AffectionateNickname: called "Winny" by her fellow American ship girls.
* FlashStep: appears to pull this off in chapter 242 while wielding her rapier in order to reach opponents who are just out of her sword's range.
* HiddenDepths:
** it's stated that Iowa, Wisconsin, Yorktown, and Enterprise all know how to speak Japanese fluently, and it's yet to be explained why they learned Japanese and how.
** Iowa and Wisconsin have learned how to sew during their time before joining the Combined Fleet.
** apparently, she and the veteran American ship girls are all quite adept at riding horses, having learned the skill out of necessity during the Federation War, as chapter 294 shows.
* HorseArcher: becomes this in chapter 294 - except with rifles.
* MercyKill: puts an American soldier out of his misery once his suit gets breached in a rad zone and begins to expose him to radiation, on top of his gunshot wounds.
* {{Ojou}}: also one with Iowa.
* OddFriendship: With Yorktown, considering the other's warship self had already been sunk by the time hers was launched.. She seems to like doting on her.
* ParryingBullets: pulls this off in chapter 242 with the flat side of her rapier.
* ReluctantWarrior: also like Iowa, she doesn't like the idea of having to fight against her own people, though interestingly, she's not as adamant about it as Iowa is.
* RoyalRapier: like Iowa, she has a gentlewomanly persona and wields a naval officer's rapier.
* ShrinkingViolet: the shyest and most reserved of the American ship girls.
* VeteranUnit: she was part of Seal Team Six (different from Sanford's Seal Team Six), the elite Navy Seal Team that comprised of the four American ship girls and !Samidare, who served throughout the first half of the nuclear apocalypse defending the United States from both human and Abyssal attackers during the Federation War and the Typhoon Wars.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Graf Zeppelin-Class]]

!Graf Zeppelin

* TheAce: her stats, armor and health points, and maximum level cap are all much stronger than the average carrier from the Combined Fleet.
* CardsOfPower: she keeps her canon design of using cards as her plane holders, but in this story, she no longer needs a flight deck to launch her planes and can simply deploy them by throwing the cards straight into the air, and the cards will turn into planes mid-flight.
** DeathDealer: Graf is also mentioned to be proficient in using these same cards as weapons, much like Damon used metal-studded playing cards as weapons during Operation Charlotte.
* ColdSniper: speaks little and carries an FN Ballista sniper rifle that's got her own uniform color scheme on it as a weapon skin. She does warm up significantly whenever she's around Akagi, though.
* GermanicEfficiency: reinforced in the passive ability "German Engineering" that all German ship girls share, which allows all of them to have their fatigue and insanity gain rates reduced by 50%.
* GratuitousGerman: averted, all foreign ship girls are fluent in their own native languages.
* LongRangeFighter: amongst the German ship girls, and with good reason, since she's a carrier.
* LukeIAmYourFather: she considers Akagi to be her mother due to their RealLife historical connections. Kaga doesn't seem like she enjoys that when she hears of it.
* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: she also has a unique way of launching planes like Wakamiya and Enterprise by throwing cards into the air and deploying her planes directly into combat.
* PoirotSpeak: subverted, the German ship girls only use a few German words sprinkled in their English speech.
* RippedFromTheHeadlines: taken and put from the game into the story with due time after her implementation.
* ScopeSnipe: pulls one of these off in chapter 147.
* SempaiKohai: averted; Graf instead sees Akagi as her mother instead. This makes Kaga want to hunt down the father.
* {{Shoutout}}: her Ballista sniper rifle is one to the rifle of the same name featured in VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps2.
* SupportPartyMember: her Count passive ability gives fellow friendly carriers buffs to their planes' stats.
* TookALevelInBadass: all the German ship girls are down-to-Earth and all business. When they're assigned to fight with the Combined Fleet once they arrive in Germany to assist them in their conflict against the NDP, all the German ship girls get to work and fight alongside Japanese and British ship girls alike.
* {{Trigger}}: all German ship girls have some kind of passive debuff, perhaps as a NecessaryDrawback to prevent them from being overly superior stats-wise. For Graf, this comes in the forms of decreased combat performance when she herself loses HP, if she witnesses other carriers sink, or if something bad happens to Akagi.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Yorktown-Class]]

!Yorktown

The ship girl incarnation of the U.S.S. "Yorktown", CV-5. Based on Yorktown from ''Fanfic/PacificWorldWarIIUsNavyShipgirls''.

* AffectionateNickname: called "Yorkie" by her fellow American ship girls.
* ArcherArchetype: while she isn't this on land, she is this at sea, using an enhanced composite bow that fires either plane-launching bolts or explosive bolts.
* BerserkButton: potentially Wisconsin in the sense of anyone hurting her, which contributes to the OddFriendship between them.
* BoomHeadshot: taken quite literally in chapter 336, when Yorktown hits a Wo-Class carrier from downtown with an explosive arrow right in the back of the head before the arrow blows up.
* CoolHat: a traditional cowboy hat, to reinforce her cowgirl persona.
* {{Cowboy}}: affects a cowgirl persona, complete with the stereotypical cowgirl accent featured in old Western movies.
* TheDreaded: curiously, she's this to Imuya, even though Yorktown's the one who got sunk by her at the end of Midway.
* EnhancedArchaicWeapon: her Sparrow composite bow. Assuming it looks more or less like the one it's referencing, compared to, say, Aquila's simple Roman composite bow, Yorktown's bow is certainly this.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: when her Red Dead Revolvers ability is active, her eyes have big red X's drawn over her pupils.
* FriendlySniper: as opposed to Enterprise's ColdSniper.
* GunNut: geeks out over the sniper rifles they receive in the secret weapons cache stowed away in Damon's would-be coffin and takes the Barrett M107-CQ for herself.
* GunsAkimbo: is particularly fond of and very skilled at this, apparently: in chapter 242, her weapons besides her newly acquired Barrett sniper rifle are a pair of lever-action shotguns and her own pair of fifty-caliber revolvers.
* HandCannon: like her fellow carrier Enterprise, her main sidearms are a pair of S&W Model 500 revolvers.
* HiddenDepths:
** it's stated that Iowa, Wisconsin, Yorktown, and Enterprise all know how to speak Japanese fluently, and it's yet to be explained why they learned Japanese and how.
** apparently, she and the veteran American ship girls are all quite adept at riding horses, having learned the skill out of necessity during the Federation War, as chapter 294 shows.
** and in chapter 297 and 298, Yorktown demonstrates that she knows how to fly helicopters.
* HorseArcher: becomes this in chapter 294 - except with rifles.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: a stretch of this trope, but chapter 242 specifically describes the rate at which Yorktown fires her two revolvers as physically improbable for normal humans to do given the one-handed nature of their shooting combined with the revolvers' heavy recoils and tough handling.
** shows this off again in chapter 294, when she perfectly headshots ten Whitewater mercenaries in five seconds using her Red Dead Revolvers ability - on horseback, riding at full gallop, next to a train, at a distance of anywhere between fifteen to thirty meters.
** and again in chapter 336, this time with her Sparrow composite bow, when she hits a Wo-Class carrier with an explosive arrow at over eleven hundred meters.
* InHarmsWay: like Iris, she seems to have taken a great thrill from running out of the mortar strike's area of effect in chapter 313, as her subsequent dialogue with Hatsuyuki shortly shows.
* InterfaceScrew: when using her Red Dead Revolvers ability, her eyes perceive time much more slowly but can continue to see in real time, albeit with a grainy red layer that turns the whole world an obnoxious shade of red.
* MoreDakka: given the weapons that she's used, Yorktown might actually go into combat with a pair of lever-action shotguns, a pair of high-caliber magnum revolvers, and a high-caliber sniper rifle.
* NationalStereotypes: she definitely embraces many of the stereotypes of the United States, such as loving guns (particularly BIG guns), loving big explosions, etc., but in a more humorous way and not entirely a self-effacing manner, either.
* OddFriendship: with Wisconsin, who wasn't even launched by the time she sunk. As much as their personas clash, she gets long surprisingly well with the battleship, to the point where she will unabashedly shove her face into Wisconsin's midriff and ask for a head pat.
* OneHandedShotgunPump: while not a pumping motion, Yorktown, because she's dual-wielding lever-action shotguns, does this with her Model 1887s out of necessity in combat.
* RevolversAreJustBetter: uses a pair of S&W 500s as her sidearms, as stated above. She even uses a fully suppressed [[http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2009/03/03/sw-625-fully-suppressed-revolver/ S&W 625 "PSDR-3"]] .45 ACP revolver for her stealth missions.
* {{Shoutout}}:
** Drops several lines from [[VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} Jesse [=McCree=]]] and is even implied to use his Deadeye ultimate with her own suppressed PSDR-3. She also references Creator/ClintEastwood and his movies.
** Another one is her pair of lever-action shotguns, which are an explicit reference to the [[GameBreaking Model 1887s]] featured in VideoGame/CallOfDutyModernWarfare2's multiplayer.
** Her sniper rifle, the M107-CQ Airforce, is a sniper rifle variant featured in VideoGame/CombatArms.
** in chapter 294, gives one to VideoGame/RedDeadRevolver with her ability "Red Dead Revolvers" (which actually functions much more like the Dead Eye ability seen in VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption), one to VideoGame/KillingFloor2 for her fancy reload sequence with her dual revolvers, and one to VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} for her BondOneLiner of "Like shootin' fish in a barrel, that was."
** in chapter 334, her weapon for launching planes turns out to be the Sparrow Composite Bow featured as a Specialist weapon in VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps3.
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: to further reinforce her Wild West cowgirl persona, she swings around a pair of lever-action [[http://chiappafirearms.com/products/82 Winchester Model 1887s.]]
* SweetTooth: her favorite ice cream is mint chocolate.
* {{Tsundere}}: shows a few signs of this towards Damon, but nothing full-blown.
* VeteranUnit: she was part of Seal Team Six (different from Sanford's Seal Team Six), the elite Navy Seal Team that comprised of the four American ship girls and !Samidare, who served throughout the first half of the nuclear apocalypse defending the United States from both human and Abyssal attackers during the Federation War and the Typhoon Wars.

!Enterprise

The ship girl incarnation of the U.S.S. "Enterprise", CV-6. Based on Enterprise from ''Fanfic/PacificWorldWarIIUsNavyShipgirls''.

* AbnormalAmmo: she's able to fire a yellow-flame bullet with presumably enhanced power out of her S&W 500 to shoot the pilot of an Apache attack chopper in chapter 247. This is probably because she's using Damon's energy that she absorbed prior to this mission to give her bullet the power it needs to penetrate the bulletproof windshield of the helicopter's cockpit.
* AffectionateNickname: called "Ellie" by her fellow American ship girls.
* BadassBandolier: her first appearance in the story depicts her carrying rockets for her Bazooka in bandoliers around her chest.
* BoomHeadshot: point-blank-domes Suzuya in the center of the forehead with her S&W 500 Magnum. Ouch.
* ClintSquint: pulls one off while using her ability "Aces High".
* ColdSniper: more sociable than a true ColdSniper, but one nonetheless.
* CoolHat: wears a naval peaked hat everywhere she goes, even into battle.
* DeadpanSnarker: loves to be one when Damon and Yorktown are talking.
* DemolitionsExpert: Enterprise is the ''only'' ship girl currently who bothers carrying around a dedicated explosive platform in the form of a rocket launcher, her XM-6. The ones who come even anywhere remotely close to this are the Kagerou-Class, who only use 40mm grenades from their undermounted EGLM grenade launchers (and they've been known to shoot other kinds of 40mm grenades from them too, like smokes or flares), and Johnston, but...that's a little bit different.
* {{Determinator}}: her endurance rating is a huge 15.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: gains one very briefly when using her "Aces High" ability, when both of her pupils grow the patterns of sniper rifle scope crosshairs.
* TheGambler: seems to be quite proficient and lucky at poker games, as seen in chapter 268.
* HandCannon: her [[http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product4_750001_750051_764947_-1_757771_757767_757751_ProductDisplayErrorView_Y S&W 500.]]
* HiddenDepths:
** it's stated that Iowa, Wisconsin, Yorktown, and Enterprise all know how to speak Japanese fluently, and it's yet to be explained why they learned Japanese and how.
** apparently, she and the veteran American ship girls are all quite adept at riding horses, having learned the skill out of necessity during the Federation War, as chapter 294 shows.
* HorseArcher: becomes this in chapter 294 - except with rifles.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: she uses her S&W Model 500 to perfectly headshot an enemy at more than sixty meters with a single bullet, thanks to the aid of her Aces High ability.
* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: Enterprise holds the unique distinction of being the only carrier to deploy her planes via rocket launcher, through her XM-6 Bazooka, as opposed to the conventional traditional bow or crossbow launching medium.
* MoreDakka: while compared to the other American carriers, she might pale in comparison in the bullet department with only a single magnum revolver sidearm and a sniper rifle that isn't the biggest caliber that's used by the fleet, what makes up for this is her XM-6 Bazooka that she carries with her into battle for anti-vehicle or anti-squad use.
* NotSoDifferent: has this view when [[HumanWeapon comparing ship girls like herself to guns and other weapons]], saying that both of them have been constructed to kill and destroy, otherwise there would be no point to constructing them in the first place.
* {{Shoutout}}: in chapter 242, an apparent ability Enterprise has is called "Aces High", a reference to the famous song of the same name by Iron Maiden.
* ThePerfectionist: hinted at in chapter 294: when Enterprise misses a shot with her sniper rifle out of the many she's already taken by that point, she's described to scowl very heavily at her own mistake.
* {{Shoutout}}: her primary sniper rifle, the MK-21 PSR, is the militarized version of the Remington MSR featured in VideoGame/CallOfDutyModernWarfare3.
* SmallGirlBigGun: while the story doesn't specify the heights of the American ship girls, if the source material is any indication, it's possible that Enterprise is the shortest among them. Not only does that not stop her from using big sniper rifles like her MK-21 PSR and even the Barrett M-95 that she picks up later, but in her introduction scene in chapter 219, she's depicted carrying a modernized Bazooka that's as tall as she is and a S&W 500 revolver.
* SmokingIsCool: like Damon, she seems to have a great liking for candy cigarettes and is rarely seen without one outside of combat or duty.
* TheStoic: definitely friendlier than the usual examples, but is still the most even-tempered of all the American ship girls. There are a few times when Yorktown does manage to make her flustered, however.
* TakeThat: When Damon asks her in chapter 242 if she doesn't want to use a more convenient firearm like an assault rifle instead of limiting herself to her bulky, unwieldy, and unnecessarily powerful S&W Model 500:
--> Enterprise: "I've got [[Film/{{DirtyHarry}} the most powerful handgun in the world]] right here. Why would I feel the need to take something inferior?"
* ThemeNaming: seems to have a thing for cards, as in chapter 242, she demonstrates two instances of this: her Aces High ability (which is supposed to be a musical reference first and foremost) and her BondOneLiner of "Straight...ten high". Reinforced when the story depicts her playing poker with some of the other capital ships, as she's very good at it and eliminates Yorktown from a match.
* VeteranUnit: she was part of Seal Team Six (different from Sanford's Seal Team Six), the elite Navy Seal Team that comprised of the four American ship girls and !Samidare, who served throughout the first half of the nuclear apocalypse defending the United States from both human and Abyssal attackers during the Federation War and the Typhoon Wars.
* WeAreStrugglingTogether: is compelled to shoot and force Suzuya to non-action to prevent her from killing the mission VIP. In addition, when Mogami shows up, she mediates the two of them by force by keeping them away from one another.

[[folder:Lexington-Class]]

!Saratoga

* AlternateUniverse: the author has made a few changes to Saratoga's canon design to make it ''slightly'' more urban-combat friendly. Her white dress is shorter, only going down to her knees, and it doesn't hold her drum magazines underneath the folds; instead, the drum magazines are kept in a double layer around her utility belt.
* BadassBandolier: as mentioned above, a change made by the author to make her uniform make a little bit more sense in the context of urban combat is to have the fifty-round drum-magazines that are seen in Saratoga's default ingame CG as fastened inside the fold of her dress instead be kept in bandolier form around her utility belt. She still has her thirty-round box magazines as smaller bandoliers around her thighs, however...[[MoreDakka probably because there just wasn't enough space on her belt.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: she intervenes just in time to save a few wounded Delta soldiers during the skyscraper assault in Little Rock.
* BigOMG: averted, she's yet to be seen gasping this like she does ingame.
* {{Charisma}}: a 9 in her Charisma stat.
* CoolGun: her canon Thompson plane launcher is repurposed into a sleek white modernized Thompson variant in the story, the LDS M-2029 Thompson, with flip-up LED optics.
* DeadlyUpgrade: her Nuclear Fusion Core basically gives her a form of energy that she can use as an auxiliary power, but the more she uses it, the more she contaminates herself with radiation. When her radiation reaches critical levels, her body will begin to malfunction and eventually shut down if she doesn't rid her core of its radiation.
* FriendlySniper: now qualifies as this, with her pleasant persona and her new sniper rifle that she comes equipped with to join the rest of the fleet at Little Rock following her repairs and proper calibration, an M40-A5.
* GratuitousEnglish: averted wholesale, as with all ship girls in the story.
* GoneHorriblyWrong: Saratoga finds out the hard way that the Smartsteel in her body, for whatever reason, is not working properly - specifically, she cannot tank bullets like every other ship girl does and gets terribly injured when trying to secure the Little Rock VIP.
* HighSpeedHijack: while not necessarily at high speed, she does jump out of her Cloaked Banshee stealth chopper into an enemy Little Bird to toss its pilots out to hijack it and save some soldiers from being shot by the Little Bird.
* HistoricalInJoke: just like the ones listed on Saratoga's canon entry, in this story, Saratoga is explicitly described to be handling her Thompson left-handed to reflect her carrying her gun left-handed in her canon artwork.
* ILoveNuclearPower: subverted. The Nuclear Fusion Core augmentation she comes with is causing her body to accrue nuclear radiation that will eventually cause her body to break down within an hour if she doesn't find a way to calibrate her body to handle the augmentation, which is impossible unless she flies back to base or goes back to Lukenstor. She doesn't even know what it's even supposed to do for her in the first place, at least not at the time that she reaches Little Rock in this state.
** with the update to Saratoga's entry in the stat sheet, we now know that it's because Saratoga's Nuclear Fusion Core isn't calibrated properly that is causing her body to accrue unnecessary radiation and consequently shut off her usual ship girl durability and make her just as weak as a normal human.
* InSeriesNickname: Sara, just like in canon.
* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: unlike all of the rest of the carriers in the story, Saratoga alone uses a close-ranged submachine gun as her primary firearm, but then again this may be because she didn't have any other weapon to use other than the gun that she came with.
* MightyGlacier: is this with her stats, with an 8 in defense, 4 in speed, and higher armor/health points than the average carrier in the fleet.
* MoreDakka: while all of the other carriers have big sniper rifles and pistols, with the American carriers packing just a little bit more heat, Saratoga is the only carrier to carry a submachine gun for close-range engagements...not to mention there may or may not be a pistol somewhere on her person besides her sniper rifle and submachine gun. And don't forget those fifty-round drum mags around her belt.
* OneHitPolykill: Saratoga scores a double-kill with one bullet from her M40-A5 sniper rifle in chapter 313.
* RippedFromTheHeadlines: like Warspite, she gets this treatment as well, implemented into the story a week after her canon introduction.
* TheSmartGuy: is this among the American carriers, with a 9 in intelligence and a 9 in negotiation.
* TheSouthpaw: heavily implied to be left-handed, given the way she handles her Thompson, reloading it left-handed and shooting it left-handed.
* {{Shoutout}}: as her gun's stencils reveal in chapter 297, her M-2029 is one to the M-1927 Thompson featured in the Mob of the Dead zombies map for VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps2 as a purchasable wall weapon.
** her M-2029's ELO sight is one to VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps3.
** her Nuclear Fusion Core augmentation is one to VideoGame/StarcraftII and one to her RealLife counterpart's demise, being sunk as a test target in the nuclear tests of Operation Crossroads.

[[folder:Queen Elizabeth-Class]]

!Warspite (''VideoGame/WarshipGirls'' version)

The ship girl incarnation of the H.M.S. ''Warspite'', pennant number 03.

* ElegantWeaponForAMoreCivilizedAge: while not explicitly mentioned on her part, seeing that she never uses a gun for the entirety of the assault on Whiskey Hotel, it's safe to assume that she shares this view with the other Warspite, in contrast with her contemporaries the Orions who have no such qualms.
* InSeriesNickname: goes by "Winifred" whenever she's together with the other Warspite for the sake of ease of differentiation.
* {{Ojou}}: carries herself with the air of an elegant, high-class English noblewoman, though she's definitely a level haughtier than the other Warspite.
* ParryingBullets: how she's compelled to fight when attacked by gunfighters.
* RoyalRapier: a {{Shoutout}} to Lucina's sword from VideoGame/FireEmblem and shares the same name, the Parallel Falchion.

!Warspite (canon version)

* AffectionateNickname: gets called "Wicky" by Iris, based off her first nickname, Wikolia.
* AltumVidetur: a very small example: she utters the phrase "in terra", which means "on land" when she's talking about her decision to remain faithful to her sword as her only weapon during land engagements. Warspite is the only person in the entire story who's included even a smidgen of Latin in her speech, possibly as an indication of her gentlewomanly British persona.
* CallingYourAttacks: pretty much does this for every special attack she performs with her Falchion.
* CoolChair: averted from the game - Warspite has no such chair in this story, as she's seen standing whenever she fights.
* TabletopGame/{{Chess}}: is seen playing chess with Iowa in chapter 268.
* DontMakeMeDestroyYou: issues Iowa (canon) one of these after the two Warspites defeat her together, which Iowa is all too glad to accept.
* ElegantWeaponForAMoreCivilizedAge: explicitly states in chapter 249 when Damon offers to give her his submachine gun for her to use that she feels that using guns for her is "unseemly", in contrast with her contemporaries the Orions who have no such qualms.
* FlashStep: like Wisconsin, she uses this to be mobile with her sword.
* HiddenDepths: when she speaks with Damon in chapter 267, she reveals to him that her current fear with being a recent newcomer to the fleet is coping with possible feelings of homesickness as time goes on.
* InSeriesNickname: goes by "Wikolia" whenever she's together with the other Warspite for the sake of ease of differentiation.
* LadyOfWar: even more so than her ingame rendition: not only does she serve in a long-range battleship bombardment against the White House, but she's a talented swordwoman [[LetsFightLikeGentlemen who refuses to stoop to the level of using firearms in land combat]] and almost matches Iowa's levels of MinnesotaNice.
* LightningBruiser: even though she's very much so a battleship and can run through bullets like they're [[{{Pun}} BB pellets,]] she's also very quick and agile, as she needs to be in order to fight with just her sword as her personal creed dictates.
* LudicrousMeleeAccuracy: uses her Tipper attack to land a DiagonalCut onto Iowa (canon) during their fight and slashes her down the chest, perfectly in between her breasts. Since Iowa (canon) has an impressive, let's say, upper hull armor, and given the size of Warspite's Falchion, assuming it's more or less the same as the one [[VideoGame/FireEmblem it's referencing]], it's a mystery how Warspite even lands a hit like that.
* RepressedMemories: the thought of her wartime crews who served aboard her during her times of active warship service in both world wars brings Warspite to tears in chapter 267.
* RippedFromTheHeadlines: just barely a week after she was implemented ingame, like Graf Zeppelin before her, Warspite finds her way into this story as well.
* RoyalRapier: a {{Shoutout}} to Marth's sword from VideoGame/FireEmblem and shares the same name, the Falchion.
* {{Ojou}}: carries herself with the air of an elegant, high-class English noblewoman, and she seems to be considerably more polite than the other Warspite. Given her design as recently implemented in the game, this practically comes as no surprise.
* ParryingBullets: how she's compelled to fight when attacked by gunfighters.
* {{Shoutout}}: an obvious one for anyone who is into competitive [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros. Melee]]: Warspite (canon) executes an attack called Tipper and hits Iowa with the tip of her Falchion in a downwards slash down to the floor, sending Iowa flying and hitting a wall so hard she bounces off it, all references to Marth's forward smash attack ingame and his special Tipper mechanic that inflicts absurdly higher knockback than usual.
** she uses Marth's down-B counter in chapter 300 and his neutral aerial attack in chapter 301. She also uses Orie's Sacred Arrow and Divine Thrust attacks from VideoGame/UnderNightInBirth.
** also has one for Dudley from VideoGame/StreetFighterIV, as the one attack she employs during the assault on Whiskey Hotel that doesn't involve her sword is called the Corkscrew Cross, Dudley's Ultra II combo.
* StaffOfAuthority: averted from the game, like her Coronation Chair - Warspite in this story has not yet shown either her scepter or orb at all, as her only depicted piece of equipment is her Falchion.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Littorio-Class]]

!Littorio

* AlternateUniverse: a very minor one: the brooch on her chest has the emblem of the Regia Marina, the wartime Italian Navy, stamped on it.
* CombatMedic: Littorio's opening description explicitly mentions the Rod of Asclepius on her headdress, heavily implying this.
* {{Determinator}}: all Italian ship girls have an 8 in endurance, with varying degrees of high CDR and Will ratings.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: averted, there is no sign of Littorio being goofy or quirky like she is ingame or in the 4koma.
* GratuitousItalian: averted, as with all foreign ship girls, they're fluent in their own native languages.
* NothingUpMySleeve: keeps her Assassin Blades [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed in her sleeves, under her wrists.]]
* PatrioticFervor: cemented as a passive ability that grants them considerable combat stats for fighting either on Italian soil or in Italian waters.
* PoirotSpeak: the Italian ship girls are all frequent users of this.
* {{Shoutout}}: the Italian ship girls' hidden blades are called [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Assassin Blades.]]
* SiblingYinYang: Littorio is the graceful, kindhearted, and courteous side.

!Roma

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: almost expectedly, Roma in the story is much more sharp-tongued and decisive, and she's prone to a few profanities in Italian.
* AlternateUniverse: a very minor one: the brooch on her chest has the emblem of the Regia Marina, the wartime Italian Navy, stamped on it.
* {{Determinator}}: all Italian ship girls have an 8 in endurance, with varying degrees of high CDR and Will ratings.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: averted, there is no sign of Littorio being goofy or quirky like she is ingame or in the 4koma. Roma is still quite the responsible sibling, however.
* GratuitousItalian: averted, as with all foreign ship girls, they're fluent in their own native languages.
* ImNotHereToMakeFriends: Downplayed. As she tells Littorio in chapter 319, she doesn't see the need for friends... outside her countrymen.
* NothingUpMySleeve: keeps her Assassin Blades [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed in her sleeves, under her wrists.]]
* PatrioticFervor: cemented as a passive ability that grants them considerable combat stats for fighting either on Italian soil or in Italian waters.
* PoirotSpeak: the Italian ship girls are all frequent users of this.
* {{Shoutout}}: the Italian ship girls' hidden blades are called [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Assassin Blades.]]
* SiblingYinYang: Roma is the cold, stoic, and calculating side.
* StoicSpectacles: Roma in a nutshell.
* TheStrategist: she's the flagship of the Regia Marina.
* WarriorMonk: heavily implied; just like how Littorio has the Rod of Asclepius on her diadem, Roma has the Vatican coat of arms on her own.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Aquila-Class]]

!Aquila

* AlternateUniverse: Aquila sports a few additions to her canon design in this story: her unique eyes, her quiver full of plane-launching arrows, and her eagle glove on her right forearm.
* AnimalBattleAura: not just an aura either, the eagles she can produce with her arrows serve as allies that can distract enemies, light up their immediate vicinities because of the energies that they give off, and blind enemies by exploding like flashbang grenades.
* AnimalMotifs: as one would assume from her name, her abilities are all eagle-themed, and she can summon eagle energy companions from her arrows.
* ArchaicWeaponForAnAdvancedAge: in an era of modern warfare, firearm technology, and carrier ship girls who all use high-powered, high-caliber sniper rifles as their personal weapons, Aquila uses a simple composite Roman bow - albeit with Smartsteel-piercing arrows. [[BewareTheNiceOnes And she's lethal with it.]]
* ArcherArchetype: unlike most of the carriers featured in this story, Aquila actually uses a traditional bow, the same bow she uses in canon. As strange as it is to consider, Aquila of all carriers is perhaps the most faithful to her original ingame design as far as her weaponry and equipment go.
* {{Determinator}}: all Italian ship girls have an 8 in endurance, with varying degrees of high CDR and Will ratings.
* FriendlySniper: just like her canon self, she's very kind and very approachable. She also doles out headshots with her bow and arrow just as easily as she launches planes.
* GratuitousItalian: averted, as with all foreign ship girls, they're fluent in their own native languages.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: with a bow. She lands a perfect headshot at ''over 800 meters'' with just a composite bow and arrow. As a reader put it in comparison, the current world record for the longest accurate archery shot is around 283m.
** her active ability, Eagle Eye, specifically allows her to land a guaranteed hit on anyone within a kilometer, assuming that she's given enough time to lock onto her target.
* MeaningfulName: "Aquila" is "Eagle" in Italian, and she has eagle-themed traits and equipment.
* NothingUpMySleeve: keeps her Assassin Blades [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed in her sleeves, under her wrists.]]
* PatrioticFervor: cemented as a passive ability that grants them considerable combat stats for fighting either on Italian soil or in Italian waters.
* PoirotSpeak: the Italian ship girls are all frequent users of this.
* {{Shoutout}}: in her initial description, Aquila is said to have [[Film/EagleEye small but bright red dots in the centers of her pupils, surrounded by black rings.]]
** the Italian ship girls' hidden blades are called [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Assassin Blades.]]
* VerbalTic: averted, as Italian ship girls don't know how to speak Japanese in this story, Aquila's canon tic is impossible.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Commandant Teste-Class]]

!Commandant Teste

* AlternateUniverse: she's seen wearing black dress pants instead of a skirt and has a small French flag emblem on the middle rim of her beret.
* BlatantLies: tells the Queen of England that France has no fleet of ship girls...when she ''is'' one herself.
* UnexpectedCharacter: it's fair to say that seeing Commandant Teste as the French president caught quite a few readers off guard.

Subverted a little because, well, it's most likely not HER money that's being used to pay for those damages.]]

* HiddenDepths: Of all the people you might expect, it is surprisingly enough Musashi of all people who asks in chapter 311 if there's really no nonviolent solution to [[spoiler:the imminent Italian civil war.]]

* DefectorFromDecadence: as evidenced by her intervention in the fight between Damon and Blackwood, as she must have actively rebelled against her own command prompt that forces her to recognize Blackwood as her Admiral in order to fight him.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: goes on one [[spoiler:against the second Water Demon in chapter 303, when the latter insults Shoukaku's mysterious daughter Chizuru.]]

** she uses Marth's neutral aerial attack in chapter 301. She also uses Orie's Sacred Arrow and Divine Thrust attacks from VideoGame/UnderNightInBirth.
