Azalea

## Summary

Azalea was a mental model from a version of the Arpeggio of Blue Steel Verse that was taken over by a

Mass Effect Verse some time before the events of The Ancient Ones II. Her AI was suppressed, and sold to Tadayoshi, who believed it was a simple system along the lines of Siri on a smartphone, but just used a Union Core for improved processing power.

During the events of the 2nd Ancient Ones, Wilfre stole Azalea's Union Core, transforming her into his own ship. They battled the Ockham's Razor several times, until a final confrontation above Tadayoshi's homeworld proved to be the last battle between the two forces. During the battle, Wilfre teleported those

directly involved to Antarctica in what would be revealed at a version of the Ars Nova Cadenza Arpeggio of Blue Steel Verse. Azalea was able to destroy the Ockham's Razor, but due to the prolonged battle, was left with considerably weakened shields. Soon after, she was forced into the water, where Kongou arrived and sunk her.

## Personality

Azalea, much like Kongou was for some time, is obsessed with following the Fleet of Fog Admiralty Code. However, due to exposure to Wilfre's magic, her interpretation of the Admiralty Code has been extremely corrupted, to the point that she believes that the Fog should wage total war on humanity, and attack any and all human civilizations, including those on land and those holding civilians. She is easily excited over the chance to destroy things with her weapons, and takes any correction on her views of the Admiralty Code as a personal insult.

### Notable Losses:

VS Kongou: Kongou defeated a crippled Azalea during the battle against Wilfre, sinking her with ease. This was easily accomplished due to Azalea having already lost the use of her shields.
