She has an earnest and fairly trusting attitude, and acts deferential to her older sister, Agano, which stands in stark contrast to Agano's teasing and sexual harassment. Noshiro doesn't particularly fight back, so she's unusual in being one of the few light cruisers who are frequent targets of canon sexual harassment.
Her combat gear includes a bridge, smokestack, and mast worn in a backpack-like arrangement, with two swing arms carrying twin cannons on three turrets controlled by joysticks on their side. She has another turret on her right ankle, and a flight deck on her left leg, and wears armored boots.
The real-life Noshiro was commissioned in 1943 to replace Jintsuu as flagship of the Second Destroyer Squadron, lost in Kolombangara. She was later sunk by US carrier airstrikes in the day following the main battle of Leyte Gulf.
