IJN Zuihou

Personality

The first carrier of her class and one of the most adorable, wholesome and friendly little ladies within the Sakura Empire. This cute bird gets along with all of the more well known laides within the IJN to the point of being well known within her living sector. Knows how to care for others and the Commander, and is well informed on almost plenty of things within the IJN. She's also somehow "lucky" and praises it every day in her life. She may be small, but she has a big, warming heart.

Life in the Sakura Empire

Zuihou's a small little lady with a big heart for anyone in the fleet. She likes to be quite friendly towards other shipgirls, and stands up for what's right in her mind. Compared to her other sisters like Ryuuhou, her height is almost around Ryuuhou's stomach. However that doesn't stop Zuihou from showing off her positivity and care to others. Most of the IJN know about Zuihou due to her past involvement with the Great Sage, whom was Unzen. Zuihou looks up to Unzen, and wants to be a good role model for the other little girls of the IJN. Zuihou also owns a mansion in her living district of the faction's territory islands, courtesy of Houshou. Zuihou sometimes is also fond of shiny things, due to the faction members giving her shiny trinkets as thanks for her work. She keeps some on her, but most of what she was given is most likely in her mansion.

Role Model and Image

Zuihou is portrayed as a "Little Phoenix." Her outfit and accessories give her the feeling of being one. But she shines with her hard work, good cooking and positivity. When someone isn't feeling too well in their mood, Zuihou tries to offer herself to listen in and try to cheer things up. One could see her as a jack-of-all-trades for how much output she shows, but in a good way. Even Zuikaku gets surprised for how much energy Zuihou has in a daily lifespan, and how well she gets along with other girls. Even when Zuihou is at the Azur Lane base for duties, this cute little bird still keeps that flaming positvity and heartwarming posture wherever she goes. She's also fond of new things, places and other stuff she hasn't seen before, making said discoveries an adventure she has to take. But of course in good moderation. Due to her origin, Zuihou can sometimes chirp when she's speaking with such happiness. Hearing her say "chirp, chirp" can be a normal occurance. But most of the time, she chirps when she's really happy or just expressing her emotions in many ways. After some time, she grew quite fond of working with the Commander, being happy with her work with them and growing a heartwarming bond. Sometimes she would like how they give her headpats and hugs, sharing the warmth together.

Main Outfit

Her main outfit is a white dress top with its skirt that extends down to her thighs. The back of the dress has a long white cloth that represents a phoenix tail to some sense. The dress has no sleeves so her arms and armpits down to her stomach on the side are exposed. The skirt is covered with orange lining on its ends, where the top of the skirt on her stomach area has a sash tied around it with a bowtie on the left side. The bowtie has a little bell on one of its ends. Has matching socks and festive sandal footwear in japanese styling. Her dress top shows no signs of a bra being used, so her chest is bare underneath. Her chest size is within the A Cup areas. However she does wear panties, color may vary. (Either black, white or red as my guess.) The chest area of her dress has a red bow with a bell in the middle. The main outfit is accompanied by a large mini-sized cloak that's mostly made for her arms. The cloak's length is just below the skirt, down to her upper knees. It has very long and large sleeves, shown where Zuihou's arms only reach up to over halfway in. The design is adorned in phoenix and feather-like apparel and color schemes, fitting for her to have some beauty in some sense. The sleeves at the very end show the feather designs like they're wings. Zuihou's hair is brown, with a bowtie knot on top of her head. On the back of the bowtie is a phoenix hairband accessory, followed by twintails on both sides that the headband supports. The headband has 3 phoenix tails flowing out from it, all three having their own sizes and lengths. Two large strands of hair on both sides of her head have bell accessories to accompany the style.

Festival Outfit - "Joy Comes on Fledgling Wings"

Zuihou's other outfit that she owns was made for festivities. It's a little smaller in length but it does curve to her body very well. The base of the dress is black, followed by a red phoenix designed turban in the back and front of the dress, covering up most of said dress that aren't the sides and the skirt frills. The back part of the turban is very long, going own to her feet and is easy to move and sway with her movement. Her arms are covered by tied white sleeves, adorned with red bowties, white flowing garments at the end, and black undercovers. Again, her arms only go up to mostly the entire sleeve before the rest covers up everything on her arms. The black dress of the outfit has its frilly skirt pattern layered all around her body, except for a small portion of the front. The red phoenix turban covers that part up to make up for the missing area. On the side of the dress, is a bird talisman that Zuihou recieved from one of her sisters. It has two little birds resting upon it. Her hair is a little different, having the bowtie still on top of her head, with a white bow and her twintails spaced out a little wider. The bells aren't there this time, but little golden ties. Upon closer inspection, it would appear that Zuihou does not have panties on when wearing this outfit. due to the slight gaps of the skirt showing out the turban tries to hide. However she could be wearing a bra to compensate the rest. Which means the turban is the only thing covering her little "flower." This can be a little concerning and questionable for the little bird, but surely she has some good reason to why. Though without panties, this outfit can be subjected to "wardrobe malfunctions". Just be sure to support her if it happens...
