Akatsuki (Kantai Collection)

"I'm Akatsuki! Treat me like the fully-fledged lady that I am!"

- Akatsuki Akatsuki (暁 Dawn?) was the twenty-first Fubuki-class destroyer, or the lead ship of the Akatsuki-class destroyer (if that sub-class is regarded as a separate class), built for the Imperial Japanese Navy in the inter-war period. When introduced into service, these ships were the most powerful destroyers in the world. They remained formidable weapons systems well into the Pacific War.

Appearance
The Akatsuki-class wears a white and dark blue serafuku with a "III" somewhere on themselves as well as some form of black legwear.

Akatsuki herself has long black hair, pantyhose and wears a flat cap. The "III" is on the left side of her collar. She also wears armor attached to her shoes for some reason.

Personality
Does her best to act like a true lady and thus, doesn't like to be treated as a child. This has the side effect of making her look even more childish.

Trivia
