*Though a "glasses character", many fanart choose to depict her as a bespectacled brawler, tagged under [http://dic.pixiv.net/a/%E3%83%9E%E3%82%A4%E3%82%AF%E3%83%81%E3%82%A7%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%81%AE%E6%99%82%E9%96%93%E3%81%A0%E3%82%AA%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A1%21 "マイクチェックの時間だオラァ!] " ("It's mic-check time, dammit!") in pixiv. This is a nod towards her performance in the aforementioned Battle of Guadalcanal, where she gave the newly built USS South Dakota a hard knock, taking out the much younger battleship's fire control systems and communications. Not too shabby, especially if one considers her age by then (she was launched in 1913 as a battlecruiser and was rebuilt in 1927 and 1934 as a battleship). Her exceptional firepower (for a non-Yamato ship) after her second remodel may also be a nod to this brutal side of her.
