Atago (Azur Lane)

**Atago** is a character from the *Azur Lane* anime and game.

Atago is a Heavy Cruiser from Sakura Empire and is part of the Takao-class.

In the XP4 fics, Atago debuted in the XP4 Heroes Coalition - Azur Lane.

## **Appearance**

Atago is a tall woman with a slender figure and a large chest. She has long, waist-length black hair tied with a white ribbon and black wolf ears on top of her head. She has brown eyes and a beauty mark under her left eye. She wears a white military uniform with a high collar and yellow buttons, a white pencil skirt with side slits, black thigh-high stockings, white high heels, and white gloves.

## **Personality**

Atago is a clear onee-san type. Ironically, she's not actually the eldest, but some of Takao's lines seem to imply that she still acts as one towards the *actual* eldest sister. She's also trying to become one to the Commander, too, aggressively so in *Queen's Orders*.

According to Takao, Atago is afraid of ghosts. Given the presence of Shiranui, who has ghost theme going on, Kagerou and her ghostly turrets, or Eldridge's Astral Projection however, this might not be that absurd. Queen's Orders reveals she's not good with scary things in general, as she was knocked unconscious when Shiranui tricked her and Queen Elizabeth into seeing a horror movie.

## **Abilities**

She has a skill that boosts HE damage, burn chance, and burn damage.

## **Trivia**

* Atago's skill which boosts HE damage is called Arsonist which is an achievement in World of Warships and a reference of her high chance of setting enemies on fire in that game.
* Atago's acting like a big sister to all three of her sisters despite not being the eldest is most likely a reference to the fact that she was the first one to be commissioned (About 2 months before Takao was commissioned), despite being laid down at the same time as Takao and Takao being the first one launched (about 1 month before Atago launched).
* Like Takao, Atago has a Shiba Inu with ears similar to her own, though it only appears in her winter kimono skin.
