[tn]See post #3033369.[/tn]

She is portrayed with [[long hair|long]] [[pink hair]], [[pointy ears]], and [[blue eyes]]. Her outfit consists of a two-tone cape with an [[aiguillette]], [[epaulettes]], and a [[popped collar]], a [[double-breasted]] [[red jacket]] that is open at her [[cleavage]], a [[black skirt]], [[pantyhose]], and [[strappy heels]].

Her rig consists of her historical 356 mm quad gun mounts emblazoned with the real life ship's badge on the turret roofs, and two 133 mm twin DP mounts to her right. She also wields a gold-hilted sword with a black blade.

In the Azur Lane universe, Duke of York is a vampire with a gothic aesthetic, as well as speaking, and behaving with an old english theme, using words such as ‘thee’ ‘thou’, etc. While not [[yandere|as intense]] as [[Akagi (Azur Lane)|]] or [[Roon (Azur Lane)|]], she still wishes to make the Commander hers, with most of her lines stating how handsome and admirable they are, even as so far as giving him nicknames such as Adonis, Skylark, Sparrow, Nightingale, etc.

h4. History
