Character
Required by Quest A30.
Appearance:
Abukuma is depicted to have long dark blond hair that is tied to the sides of her head forming a unique bun shape that has a loop coming from the top while the remains ends on the bottom form side tails. She has blue colored eye and wears a a tale collared colored, white sailor uniform with black buttons going down the front, a tale skirt, and black long boots much like Kinu and Yura from the Nagara-Class wear. The rigging she wares is a basic ship components along with some basic 14cm Naval Guns and on her arm are also the same guns that are attached to her forearms like a brace.
At around the time she reaches Kai Ni, her entire uniform changes drastically with Abukuma now wearing a grey collared, beige sailor uniform with a red ribbon along with a black jacket that is worn open, and a grey skirt with rusty red trimming in the end of it. She also now wears black fingerless gloves on her hands and black spats underneath her skirt along with the black boots she still wears from her previous former upgrade.
Her rigging is more complex in this form as she now dual wields two 12.7cm Twin High-Angle Mount (Late Model)s with a radar, some AA guns and part of a hull strapped to her left arm. She also has a boiler that is attached on her belt that comes up from behind her and is also armed with two Quad Torpedo launchers on mid section of her boots.
Personality:
Abukuma is commonly depicted as being a rather shy and timid girl who's desperately tries her hardest to prove that she can be worthy of working for her admiral. When she's not on duty she tends to act more cheerful in her personality.
By the time she reaches Kai Ni, her personality takes a shift as she becomes more confident in herself and begins to at least try to prove that she can lead more efficiently in battle.
In-Game Tips
While Abukuma is rather average for a light cruiser in combat, her shining moment comes once she reaches Kai Ni. Once she is provided a blue-print and has reached level 75 she can become a unique light cruiser that has the ability to use Type A Ko-hyoteki and Daihatsu. Because of this Abukuma is considered to be a very valuable light cruiser for use in both combat and expedition situations.
Since she is a light cruiser that can use Daihatsu she can used to help gain extra resources while not partaking in sorties. At the same time, in sorties, Abukuma can be useful for situations involving Amphibious beach landings with Daihatsu and being able to launch preemptive torpedo strikes against abyssal units. While her torpedo strength isn't nearly as strong as Kitakami, Ooi, or Kiso, the main advantage she has over them is her accessibility.
Thanks to the fact that Torpedo Cruisers can be restricted from certain maps and especially in various event maps, light cruisers such as Abukuma are mainly here to aid in backing up and bring the necessary strength of some form of preemptive torpedo strike against the enemy where torpedo cruisers aren't allowed to. Some regular map examples which Abukuma can be useful in to help give an advantage in are 3-5 and 6-3
Trivia

- On October 1930, Abukuma collided with light cruiser Kitakami. Abukuma lost her bow while Kitakami sustained only light damage above the waterline. She was later fitted from the old spoon-shaped bow to a new double-curved one.
- She was escorted by Ushio en route to repairs when she sunk. Ushio then rescued more than half of her crew.
- Her name exist in Abukuma-class Destroyers Escort in JSMDF naming from the World War II along the ship names from Ooyodo,Sendai-class and Tone-class cruisers.
- Sunk 26 October 1944: bombed by USAAF B-24 Liberator bombers off Negros Island, Mindanao Sea 09°20′N 122°32′E.
