Conceptual Fleet Maidens

This is a collection of "conceptual" or non-canon character concepts. The characters in this list were created as a way to demonstrate how ships and people can be connected and used to generate a Fleet Maiden as a unified concept. Any idea on this page is open for adoption, modification, and application.

All I ask is that if one is apped, she should be removed from this page to avoid any confusion.

Destroyers

Amelia Johnston

• Age: 13
• Patron Spirit: USS Johnston (DD-557)
• Summary: A young girl from New York, Amelia is best described as "fearless to the point of stupidity" by her classmates. She firmly stands on the belief that one should always finish their battles and that one should never back down. Despite her small size, she has a history of beating up bullies far larger than she is by being quick and crafty. However, she's a girl who only strikes out in self defense or when seriously offended.
• Trait: While fragile and relatively weak compared to a Battleship Maiden, Johnston's strength lies in her small profile, high speed, and hard-hitting torpedo arsenal. She is very difficult to hit, a trade off for how much damage even moderate artillery could cause through her thin Barrier Armor.
• Note: Her Spirit's past history with Yamato may be the cause of friction between characters.

Samantha Roberts

• Age: 13
• Patron Spirit: USS Samuel B Roberts (DE-413)
• Summary: A quiet and timid girl from Seattle, content to avoid others and read books as her way of connecting with the world. She was present during an Elvari attack on the Seattle port, which was ultimately fought off by Arizona. Before the enemy was defeated, however, the walker destroyed the library where Samantha had been hiding during the attack and directly threatened her. This pushed her into accepting the power offered to her by the spirit of the Samuel B Roberts. While soft-spoken, quiet, and evasive, she has a strong will when pushed hard enough to fight back. She loves books and feels more connected to characters in novels than to real people.
• Trait: The Samuel B Roberts grants Samantha a power unique among Destroyer Maidens. Her arsenal is quite weak compared to even other destroyers. This changes if she has an opportunity to present her full broadside, excluding her torpedos. When fired this way, Samantha's five-inch shells gain a significant boost in explosive power, becoming equivalent to a heavy cruiser or battlecruiser. After all, the Samuel B Roberts earned a reputation as "the destroyer who fought like a battleship".

Wilma Porter

• Age: 14
• Patron Spirit: USS William D. Porter (DD-579)
• Summary: Energetic and well-meaning, Wilma's life in Norfolk, Virginia, has been plagued by all manner of bad luck, misunderstandings, mistakes, and accidents. She's earned the nickname "Wrecking Ball" in her school. Seemingly cursed with all manner of bad luck, Wilma doesn't let it get her down. She constantly puts others' needs before her own, even if she probably shouldn't, and so it's hard to stay angry at her given everything she does has honestly good intentions behind it. Then again, they do say the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
• Trait: The William D Porter grants Wilma an ability unique among Destroyer Maidens. It has an unnatural influence over her admittedly-already-bad-luck. While it can't negate and may in fact even enhance her bad luck, it usually somehow manages to also cause something good to happen in the same incident. This is highly unreliable. It can also get very, very expensive.

Felicity Ardent

• Age: 14
• Patron Spirit: HMS Ardent (H-41)
• Summary: A 7th grade student at Thurso Boarding School for Girls near the British naval base of Scapa Flow. Felicity comes from a wealthy family but has been raised in a way that has managed to avoid spoiling her behavior. She is intensely protective of her friends and has been in numerous fights on school grounds, all owing to protecting those close to her from bullies. She has been hospitalized a few times over her bravado, but does not let this slow her down or dampen her spirits. Felicity takes injuries in stride and rarely dwells on the outcome of a fight, only caring that she stood up to someone stronger as she feels that proves her the better person. She obtained her contract with HMS Ardent during an Elvari attack at Scapa Flow, where she witnessed Hood's maiden capsizing and expressed her feelings of powerlessness in the face of the attack.
• Trait: The HMS Ardent gives Felicity an ability unique among Destroyer Maidens. When faced with an enemy that is physically larger than she is, Felicity's speed and the strength of her Barrier Armor both increase. This feeds into her natural bravado and her protective drive, allowing her to better shield slower or more vulnerable allies from incoming attacks using her Active Barrier. This is, however, limited by the fact that she is still a Destroyer and her armor, even when boosted in this way, does not match the defensive power of a Line warship.

Battlecruisers

"Scharnhorst"

• Age: 16
• Patron Spirit: DKM Battlecruiser Scharnhorst
• Summary: All that's known about the vassel of the Scharnhorst is her unflinching service to the German people. Little is known about her identity before she made her contract, and it seems like she has a vested interest in keeping that from getting out to public channels. With a terse personality, Scharnhorst has difficulty associating with other Fleet Maidens and typically operates alone, with the exception of her companion, Gneisnau. What is known is that her speed and maneuvering is higher than that of a typical battleship, while boasting weapons that are close to equal with them. The drawback is that her Barrier Armor is weaker than her class would suggest.
• Trait: While Scharnhorst's Barrier Armor is weaker than that of battleships, she has an almost supernatural ability to push through damage that would cripple other heavy cruisers. She will always be able to fight even if her body and Deployment are in a condition that suggests otherwise.

Battleships

Yamashiro Kizuna

• Age: 20
• Patron Spirit: IJN Battleship Yamashiro
• Summary: A highly spirited girl from Yokosuka, Kizuna is the second girl from Japan to accept a contract from a spirit and become a Fleet Maiden. Hot-tempered and lacking patience, she commits herself fully to any task and absolutely refuses to deviate from it no matter what others tell her. Not only will she not back down if the enemy tells her to surrender, but even allies can have a hard time reigning her in. Kizuna is an extremely passionate and emotional person, which carries through to how she approaches her orders.
• Trait: While Yamashiro has the might and barrier armor expected of a battleship, where she really shines is when she starts to take damage through her armor. The more heavily damaged Yamashiro's Deployment becomes, the more ferociously she fights. Guns reload and fire faster, her physical blows strike harder, and even the bursts of her artillery have more force. As this fury builds and the damage becomes more clear, she surrounds herself with an increasingly violent aura of flames.

Aircraft Carriers

Susanne Vespa

• Age: 24
• Patron Spirit: USS Hornet (CV-8)
• Summary: Chosen by the spirit of USS Hornet during the Elvari attacks on San Francisco, Susanne is one of the earliest girls to gain the power of a Fleet Maiden. Shedding her meager past, she has gone to great ends to reinvent herself as a rolemodel for girls across America. In combat, she prefers to stay on the back lines, coordinating her fellow Fleet Maidens as well as her aircraft. If forced into a close confrontation or if targeted by enemy weapons, she easily loses her head and may even panic.
• Trait: Hornet is able to launch dozens of small, doll-like girls with the wings, engines, and arsenals of the F6F Hellcat, SBC Helldiver, and TBF Avenger. She carries a full complement of 80 aircraft and can launch dozens at a time in multiple configurations of fighters, torpedo bombers, and dive bombers, while having the ability to coordinate all of them in organized attacks. Unique to Hornet, she can also launch and command B-25 Mitchell medium bombers, usually thought to be too large to launch from a carrier. If her flight deck is heavily damaged, launching planes becomes difficult if not impossible.
