Duke of York

Personality:   King George V refers to her as "Yorkie". As can be seen in her introduction line, she uses a lot of O's, thees, thous, thys, and thines. Ashigara has problems trying to understand what Duke of York is saying in her character story due to this trope. The Foolish to Wales' Responsible. While she is skilled, most of her secretary lines (and many of her other lines) are her gushing over how attractive the Commander is, trying to seduce them, watching them sleep, etc. While she doesn't focus on them in combat, her lines are still extremely florid and poetic, mostly her revelling in combat or threatening her enemies rather than giving orders or encouragement. Her affection lines are less her falling in love with the commander or them helping her with some serious problem, and more the Commander finally returning her obvious affection. While she is playful, she is partially based off Prince Albert (later King George VI), who held the title of Duke of York at the time the ships were built. It's why she has high social skills and why she is a vampire-ish shipgirl. Her uniform barely contains her... 'Assets'. She's a vampire ship, including talking of eternal night, asking how sweet the Commander's blood could taste, and her second skin being heavily vampire-themed. Doubles as a subtle reference to how her historical inspiration narrowly survived the London bombing of 1940, "rising" from the ruins of the city, in addition to how Prince Albert was often bedridden due to major illness but later recovered none the worse for wear. While she doesn't have any trouble with actual sunlight, Prince of Wales states that, for all intents and purposes, her nemesis is King George V, who Wales describes as being like the sun. Normally she doesn't show up in person to stalk her Commander often, but during King George V's story, she did "kidnap" the Commander for unknown reason (she might have been monitoring their activity before). Unlike her two sisters, she isn't blonde and doesn't have (permanently) red eyes. Her uniform is also significantly less military, she doesn't take much inspiration from her namesake (apart from her skills in battles and socializing), and she carries a more fantastical arming sword with a black blade, while her sisters carry officer's swords. She uses very poetic language in all her lines. She sees Scharnhorst as a worthy opponent of hers. She often emphasizes on how entrancing the commander's eyes are.
