Ushio/Sandbox

Appearance

 * She wears a serafuku and black knee-highs. Her cannon is pink, and which has a :3 face upon its top so that looking down at it, the cannon barrels look like ears on a bunny. She normally hugs her cannon tightly to her chest (to hide her chest, presumably). She has long black hair with a notable ahoge. The torpedo launchers strapped to her thighs have puppy, kitty, bunny, and other cartoon animal stickers on them.
 * In her second remodel (Kai Ni), she comes with green-and-brown camouflage painted on her rigging, boots and weapons. Her pink bunny-gun is replaced with a wrist-mounted double-barreled turret on her right arm, and a forearm-mounted pair of triple-barreled turrets on her left, reflecting her all-AA cannon loadout. A long white ribbon is worn like a headband, tied in a bow that flutters behind her, and she has depth charges worn looped on her skirt belt. When taking medium or heavy damage, her CG also now reveals she wears bear-print panties.
 * She also has a seasonal CG for Autumn for both versions. Her unremodeled version features her wearing a lavender cardigan with a bunny on a while holding a bag full of sweet potatoes and a broom along with some dead leaves on and around her. For her second remodel, she also holds a grilledsaury plate and a tairyou-bata is secured to her gear.

Personality

 * She tends to behave in a shy and clumsy manner. Her voicework portrays her being quite unsure of herself and very soft-spoken. She also gives off a signature "HYAA!" scream, especially when repeatedly "poked" by the player. Combined with her pink cannon and stickers, she tends to come off as a girly-girl.
 * As an extension of this, she's also used in works portraying her as a serial sexual abuse victim... whether for comedy or drama is up to the artist.
 * Her most salient trait is that in her Official Art, after reaching medium damage, she pulls her cannon higher while her clothes were all but destroyed, revealing her surprisingly large breasts for a destroyer/young girl. (The reason for this may be that "Ushi" is the word for "cow", so she has "Ushi Oppai", or "cow tits", which is how some Japanese mock women with large breasts.) Many more recent destroyers have had large breasts, but prior to their introduction, she was the only destroyer with an explicitly large breasts in her official art, making her the "oppai loli". Even though Hamakaze has stolen a bit of her thunder, and there are a few others that have significant chest size, a combination of the fact that it had already become meme, and the fact that Ushio seems so shy about it makes her a particular target for large breasted little girl jokes.

Trivia

 * She is also the only ship that was part of the Japanese Taskforce that attacked Pearl Harbor to survive the war.
 * Surrendered August 15, 1945, scrapped in 1948.
 * Her name means "tide" or "current".
