Ship Name: Yayoi Library No: 164 Ship Class: Mutsuki-class, 3rd Ship Ship Type: Destroyer CV: Rina Hidaka Artist: Sota Kusada Appearance: Pale purple hair and deep green eyes. Her hairstyle is a bob with long sideburns, adorned with a crescent moon hair ornament similar to the Mutsuki-class ships from Satsuki onwards. Her outfit is a navy blue sailor suit of the same design as Mutsuki and Kisaragi, featuring a dazzling midriff-baring (belly peek) look. Her rigging also shares the design with Mutsuki and Kisaragi, but with subtle differences: like Uzuki, her single-mount guns are mounted on her arms, and the funnel she carries on her back is decorated with white plum blossoms. Incidentally, the language of flowers for plum blossoms is "Nobility," "Fidelity," and "Patience." White plum blossoms add "Elegance" to this. Furthermore, a tattered red ribbon is tied to the barrel of the 12cm single gun she holds. Since she witnessed the final moments of Kisaragi and Mutsuki in historical fact, it is said that this might be a memento from them. Indeed, there was a scene suggesting this in the official 4-panel comic, Chapter 36. When moderately damaged, she shows a lot of skin like Mutsuki and Kisaragi, but while her two older sisters wear bras, she wears a sarashi (chest wrap). Personality: Quiet, serious, and clumsy. She has a personality that doesn't show much emotion, and because she often has a grumpy-looking pout even when she's not angry, she is frequently misunderstood by people who can't read her expression. Perhaps because of this, she has a bit of trouble communicating. By the way, in the official 4-panel comic, when she gets truly angry, she apparently makes a face that makes the other destroyer girls tremble in fear. As a result, people around her tend to walk on eggshells more than necessary. Since Uzuki, who was implemented at the same time, has a very energetic personality, it's possible they were intentionally made to be contrasts, including hair color. Their uniform design is also a matching set only with Uzuki. She trusts the Admiral (Guest) deeply and is generally positive toward them. Even if left idle, she says things like, "Don't rush, take your time. Yayoi is right here," suggesting she is satisfied just by being by their side. On the other hand, based on her lines during the Marriage (Provisional) and her saying things like "You don't have to be so formal with me," she seems to want to build a more frank relationship with the Admiral, but she seems frustrated that the Admiral holds back out of politeness due to her inherent clumsiness. Conversely, due to her historical combat record, she takes on a much more serious demeanor in battle. During night battles, she shouts powerfully, "Don't underestimate the 30th Destroyer Division!" At the start of night battles, she also makes statements to the effect of "Leave the pursuit to me," showing that despite her quiet everyday self, her fighting spirit is quite strong. Overview/Details: A 3rd ship of the Mutsuki-class destroyers added along with Uzuki in the late January 2014 update. In terms of performance, she is similar to other Mutsuki-class ships. Her stats are slightly lower than other destroyers, but in exchange, she has low fuel consumption and is suitable for expedition fleets. She can be obtained as a boss drop in the 2nd to 5th sea areas of the normal maps, and can also be obtained through construction with ALL 30 resources. For those who finish their daily construction with ALL 30, she might be a girl who pops up unexpectedly. Upon her implementation, the related missions "Organize the 30th Destroyer Division (1st Generation)!" and "Sortie!" were introduced. These require forming a fleet with Mutsuki, Kisaragi, and Mochizuki, and using that composition to sortie to the waters off Kis Island and reach the boss. You don't need to defeat the boss, but since where you go depends on the compass, reaching it itself is a somewhat difficult mission. While some documents use the old character form "彌生" for her name, in KanColle, it is written as "Yayoi."
