〈Appearance〉 Normal Mode True to her British origins, she has blonde hair. One strand of her bangs is braided and pinned above her left ear with a green ribbon. Her hair is styled in a bun at the back. In her Valentine's mode, the bun comes undone when she takes moderate damage. Some interpret her braided strand as a braided cowlick. Her eyes are a bluish-purple (violet), and she often gives a prickly impression with her lips tightly set and her eyebrows slightly upturned. Her outfit resembles a schoolgirl's uniform rather than an Australian military uniform, consisting of a white blouse and a navy blue tie. Over this, she wears a dark green sleeveless jacket. Her skirt also has a schoolgirl-like design, primarily navy blue with plaid patterns on both sides, paired with over-the-knee socks. The overall color scheme is unified in green, and a green cloak draped over her left shoulder is fastened to her jacket with a clasp featuring the Australian White Ensign (Union Jack and Southern Cross). (However, since the Union Jack isn't perfectly accurate, it's likely intentionally blurred, similar to how the Yamato-class's chrysanthemum crests are slightly stylized.) Swimsuit Mode Implemented in the July 15, 2021 update. In contrast to her usual stiff appearance, she wears a light blue and white horizontal striped bikini with a pareo featuring tropical leaf patterns. She is seen frolicking brightly with a beach ball; perhaps the midsummer sun softened her expression. While there were suspicions she might be "hidden busty," this implementation confirmed she possesses significant chest armor. She seems to be the type who looks slimmer in clothes. Valentine's Mode Implemented in the February 5, 2021 update as her first limited graphic. Appearing in private clothes, she swaps her blouse and vest for a black T-shirt and white hoodie, topped with a pink apron. She holds a plate with Lamingtons (an Australian traditional sponge cake dipped in chocolate and coated in coconut) in her right hand and a teapot in her left. According to her voice lines, the Lamingtons are homemade, and the pot contains Earl Grey tea. When moderately damaged, her underwear is visible through the tears in her skirt. Due to shadows under her eyes, admirals initially rumored she stayed up late making cakes, but the illustrator, Kusada-sensei, clarified in a YouTube stream that it is simply makeup. 〈Behavior/Personality〉 First person: I (Watashi). Second person: you (Anata). She addresses the player as "Admiral." Before her remodel, she accidentally introduces herself by her British name "Amphion" during fleet organization or sorties before quickly correcting herself to "Perth." This likely reflects the period immediately after her sale to Australia. After her remodel, camouflage patterns from her historical service are added, marking her formal identity as part of the Royal Australian Navy. Notably, unlike Warspite, Ark Royal, or Gambier Bay, she has several lines that are entirely in English, particularly in her home port lines. Her pronunciation features an Australian accent (as her voice actress is also from Australia). She is extremely serious, stiff, and lacks sociability. She doesn't even offer a polite smile to the Admiral. This remains true after her remodel; while other ship girls often soften their expressions after remodeling, hers remains rigid. Her speech is a mix of polite and casual forms, giving a cold and blunt impression. When she looks dissatisfied, she asks "What?" in a grumpy tone. However, she is loyal to orders and recognizes the Admiral's military competence, behaving as a straightforward soldier. Regarding physical contact, she dismisses it with a "Well, fine." In her post-remodel hourly announcements, she seems to open up slightly, her tone and attitude softening as she shows a more honest side. That said, her midnight announcements are blunt time-readings. When the Admiral looks dissatisfied, she mistakenly thinks they want tea and serves coffee instead. The Admiral seemingly accepts this, and she stops looking dissatisfied thereafter. Regarding food, she serves Earl Grey with a Continental Breakfast (no hot dishes, centered on uncooked items) in the morning. Lunch is light, like sandwiches, but she prepares them properly. For dinner, she honestly praises the Admiral's cooking skills when she eats what they've made. At lunch, she serves a certain fermented spread (Vegemite, the Australian version of Marmite). Her culinary style is clearly under British influence. Socially, she often interacts with Houston and De Ruyter, who fought alongside her in the ABDA Fleet, and feels at ease with them. She also mentions Mogami, Mikuma, and Shikinami, recognizing them as allies without panicking like De Ruyter or Atlanta might. She even accepts a gift from Shikinami after dinner (who was part of the fleet that sank her) with surprise and joy. When asked by the Admiral, she holds no grudges about the past, treating them as comrades across nations and time. While she rarely breaks her stiff demeanor even with the Admiral, it is simply because she is socially awkward; deep down, she harbors significant affection for the Admiral that she cannot easily express.
