=== Appearance ===

=== Appearance ===

Brick red eyes and long black hair held together with a red hair tie towards the end, though nevertheless a little messy all around. Dresses in a black suit jacket with a matching skirt over a white button-down shirt and red tie; wears black socks and brown penny loafers. She holds two small main cannons in both hands somewhat resembling dual [[12.7cm Naval Gun|12.7cm naval guns]], though the left one only has a single turret, with what are likely intended to be [[61cm Triple Torpedo Mount|61cm triple torpedo mounts]] attached to either side of her torso. A [[Type 13 Air RADAR]] is apparent, resembling the one equipped by her real-life counterpart.

She holds two small main cannons in both hands resembling dual [[12.7cm Naval Gun|12.7cm naval guns]], though the left one only has a single turret (which was the standard for Hatsuharu-class destroyers until post-1942 when they were replaced with additional anti-air guns), with [[61cm Triple Torpedo Mount|61cm triple torpedo mounts]] attached to either side of her torso. A [[Type 13 Air RADAR]] is apparent, resembling the one equipped by her real-life counterpart. Her design from the point of view of her armaments appears to reflect the real ship at the outset of the war rather than the later years. 

=== Personality ===

=== Personality ===

Friendly and enthusiastic but professional. The majority of her dialogue is spoken in somewhat feminine but politely formal language. Hatsushimo is notably selfless and humble, talking about other ships (though none in particular) or the navy on whole in her MVP, Docking, Sortie Start and Sinking lines. Her Moderate Damage artwork and dialogue show a somewhat different side, however, with Hatsushimo much angrier-looking and determined not to sink. This is perhaps a reference to her very late sinking in real life, surviving even the suicide mission Ten-Gō. Serving as an escort frequently throughout the Pacific War, protecting others appears to be her top priority (she was very successful at doing so), and it's something she speaks of often.

Much of her personality may be based on her final and most significant captain, Sakawa Masazo (酒勾雅三), a devoted humanitarian. Many of Hatsushimo's traits seem to match up with his own.
