sheffield_(azur_lane)
Azur Lane's personification of the cruiser HMS Sheffield (C24).
She has blonde hair rings framing dull yellow eyes and pale skin. Like many other Royal Navy light cruisers, she is a maid. Her outfit is much more modest, revealing no cleavage like many other Royal maids, with a cross hanging from her neck. Her breasts are usually portrayed as smaller than her counterparts, though she bears no envy over it.
Unlike the other maids, Sheffield is much more serious about her duties and is very sharp-tongued and caustic towards the Commander (azur lane). She refuses to give into the lewd antics that the others (such as Sirius (azur lane)) finds themselves involved in. She also specializes in espionage and special operations duties, emphasized in the anime, which also reveals her somewhat ironic status as a different breed of commando.
Character design by Maya G, voiced by Kohara Konomi.
History
In real life, Sheffield was the third of the Southampton (Azur Lane)-class light cruisers, the first group of the Town-class. She earned the nickname "Shiny Sheff" on account of the fact that her interior fittings were done in stainless steel instead of brass, rare in the Royal Navy.
She took part in the sinking of Bismarck (Azur Lane), Arctic convoys, the battles of the Barents Sea and North Cape, the Salerno landings, and Victorious (Azur Lane)' attempts to sink Tirpitz (Azur Lane). Consequently, she attained 12 battle honours.
Post-war, consideration was given to turn her to a museum ship as she largely remained unchanged from her war years but she had deteriorated in reserve so Belfast (Azur Lane) was selected instead. She was scrapped in 1967.
