To put it simply, she's a tsundere with the "dere" (sweetness) removed. She maintains a thoroughly harsh and abusive stance toward the Admiral. When assigned as the secretary ship, she unleashes a barrage of biting remarks like "Trash," "Idiot," and "I told you not to touch me!" While it may seem like she hates you at first glance, this isn't because she hasn't opened her heart; rather, it's her unique way of expressing emotion. Her outfit after remodeling differs from the uniform look of the Asashio-class; her skirt has changed from a suspender skirt to a salopette skirt (though the color scheme and single white line design remain). Additionally, the rigging shoulder belts have changed from red to black (with small lights attached if you look closely), and a red ribbon has been added to her collar. These changes are theorized to reflect her history: - Being damaged alongside Shiranui while Arare was sunk by a submarine off Kiska Island while serving in the 18th Destroyer Division. - Inheriting the flagship role of the 1st Destroyer Squadron from the heavily damaged Abukuma during the Battle of Surigao Strait. From the moment she arrives, she pushes you hard, saying, "We're going full speed, try to keep up." If you dock her for repairs, she'll rain down merciless thunder: "Your timing is terrible!" or "What kind of command is this? It's a total nuisance!" ...Yet, her work as a secretary ship is flawless, attending to every detail. She also seems to look after her former comrades from past operations without being asked. And when she receives supplies herself, she doesn't forget to follow up with, "What, supplies? ...Well, they're necessary, I guess."
