The right answer is already given. Murakumo is different because originally she didn't join her sisters, so she's considered a bit of an outsider in DesDiv 11. The official 4-koma points this out three times: 1) When DesDiv 11 deployed for their first sea practice, Murakumo gave up her place so Miyuki could sortie; 2) When Kitakami was hanging out with the Fubukis she pointed out that Murakumo was an outlier and outsider in BOTH DesDiv she was part of; 3) When DesDiv 11 had to do their first special quest after Fubuki's kai ni was announced, they (including Murakumo) were surprised to find that it was with the version including Murakumo, but they (including Murakumo) then included Miyuki anyway because the quest required DesDiv 11 and 2 other ships (the other one was Ise). Miyuki (and Ise) then abandoned them when the second DesDiv 11 quest popped up, proving that Murakumo is more worthy of her position.

Basically the 4-koma shows her as a bit lonely and tsundere but a very nice and thoughtful girl overall. This is how Murakumo is depicted in the Kancolle world, and her unique design emphasizes this.
