Rashinban Musu / Compass Girl
- The Dreaded: Every Admiral is at the mercy of the compass. Pray that the compass fairies don't send your fleet into a dead end after a series of hard fought battles.
- Four-Temperament Ensemble: The four Compass Fairy fit this, even with their limited script.
- Sanguine: The one with a chick. Her face in permanent X3, she talks in Motor Mouth, and she's always trembling with excitement every time she spins the compass.
- Choleric: The one dressed like a witch. The most noticeable of the four, dressed gaudily even for the fairy's standard but her speech bubbles always filled with tad bit of trivia.
- Melancholic: The one with the hair clip. Doesn't really stand out, but most hard-working. Ambivalent of anything.
- Phlegmatic: The green-haired one. Always looks sleepy, doesn't talk much, and even that she's pretty apathetic.
Error Musu
- The Dreaded: The greatest enemy no Admiral ever wants to encounter: a connection error.
- Girlish Pigtails: With ribbons.
Fairies
- Badass Adorable: They man every piece of equipment and pilot every plane in the game. And they are cuter than a box of kittens.
- The Greatest Story Never Told: Very rarely appear in media, despite being essentially crew of the ships/pilots/maintenance personnel.
- Fairy Companion: For the ship girls. due to them manning and operating all the equipment on behalf of the shipgirls. In some fanworks they tend to follow around the girls in day to day activities as well.
