Laffey, a Benson-class destroyer of the Eagle Union, carries a perpetually drowsy aura and speaks in a flat, disinterested tone when not in combat. Her silver-white hair flows into messy twintails adorned with bunny-eared clips, contrasting vivid red eyes. Her playful wardrobe blends a pink bunny-themed jacket, a red pleated miniskirt, thigh-high socks, and sturdy boots.
Despite her lethargic demeanor, she demonstrates unwavering loyalty to her comrades, including peers like Javelin, Ayanami, and Unicorn. Collaborative missions and casual interactions reveal her gradual bond-building through picnics, escort assignments, and bread-knife competitions. Subtle dry humor surfaces in deadpan warnings against touching her faux bunny ears.
Combat ignites her ferocity: high reload rates and the "Wargod of Solomon" skill echo her historical clash at Guadalcanal, where she crippled the battleship *Hiei* in close quarters. A retrofit unlocks "Annihilation Mode," accelerating barrages and reloads. She employs torpedoes, anti-air guns, and a unique module that regenerates health while briefly hindering movement.
As one of four starter ships, her retrofit variant (Laffey II) transitions to an Allen M. Sumner-class destroyer, maintaining her sleepy persona while boosting combat efficiency. This upgrade integrates supply storage within her rigging for logistical pragmatism.
Spin-off narratives depict her in cross-faction alliances, countering threats like the Sakura Empire and Sirens. She strategizes in storm rescues, coordinated assaults, and ceremonial gatherings, balancing apathy with battlefield precision. Across adaptations, her consistency lies in melding lethargic charm with crisis-stabilizing prowess.
