Sagiri, in direct contrast to her "older sister" Amagiri, is portrayed as soft-spoken and highly "girly". Her official voiced lines portray her as lacking in confidence in battle and easily panicking upon being damaged (or when poked by Amagiri). She and Amagiri both have lines implying that Sagiri enjoys cooking for Amagiri and others.
The historic IJN Sagiri served for a very short period of time during the war. At the time of the Attack on Pearl Harbor, Sagiri was in DesDiv 20 of DesRon 3. On Dec 24th, 1941 (not even three weeks into the war), Sagiri was torpedoed by the Dutch submarine HNLMS K XVI, detonating her aft magazine. About half her hands were lost, with the survivors being picked up by sister-ship Shirakumo.
