akebono (kancolle)
Kantai Collection's personification of the Japanese destroyer Akebono. Character design by Drew, voiced by Hayasaka Kozue.
Appearance
She is portrayed with purple eyes and very long purple hair in a side ponytail, plus a hair flower and hair bell at the place where it is tied. Her default outfit is shared with the other Special Types, consisting of a short-sleeved shirt and blue pleated_skirt. She also typically wears black kneehighs and loafers outside of her combat gear.
Her rigging consists of her funnel-mast set worn like a backpack, a handheld 12.7 cm twin gun mount, and carried over a shoulder strap. Her shoes are armored, and she wears dual torpedo turrets on her thighs, like many in the Fubuki-class.
Personality
Her most salient trait is her tendency to refer to the admiral/player as a "Shitty Admiral," and is seemingly always angry about something, stemming from her ill experiences during the war (see the phrase's wiki for details). In some fanworks, calling the admiral "shitty" is so ingrained in her, she even calls the admiral "shitty admiral" when she's in love, like other girls might say "darling". She's typically portrayed as a tsundere with almost no dere, at least not verbally, or a bitter-tongued tsukkomi. Oftentimes, she's seen playing a big sister role to Ushio, who is often portrayed as the most childish and clumsy of the 7th Des Div.
Along with the rest of the 7th DesDiv, Akebono has been one of the most frequent targets of limited-time special event artwork. See the dedicated Costumes section below.
