Prinz Eugen serves as a heavy cruiser for the Iron Blood faction, embodying the Admiral Hipper-class warship of her name. Her appearance features long white hair with a distinctive red streak on the right, styled into cascading waist-length twin tails secured by red metal clips. Amber or red eyes complement her attire: a very short black dress accented with long red and grey sleeves adorned by Iron Cross symbols at the neckline and sleeve ends. She wears black thigh-high tights and red boots also bearing the Iron Cross, marked by a diagonal white stripe on her right leg. Her rigging incorporates shark-inspired design elements, potentially reflecting naval operational zones or symbolic power. She maintains a consistently teasing, sarcastic, and elusive personality. Prinz Eugen wields provocation as a tool, masking her true emotions behind remarks that often carry underlying truths despite their bothersome delivery. This demeanor serves her roles in Iron Blood diplomacy, espionage, and intelligence gathering. While emotionally distant, she demonstrates clear loyalty, particularly as Bismarck's right-hand operative. Interactions occasionally reveal concealed concern beneath her aloof exterior, such as when instructing destroyers in chocolate-making during lighter moments. Historically, Prinz Eugen participated in Operation Rheinübung alongside Bismarck, contributing to the destruction of HMS Hood and damage to HMS Prince of Wales at the Battle of the Denmark Strait. Subsequent raiding operations were curtailed by engine failures, necessitating repairs in occupied France. She later joined Operation Cerberus, the daylight channel dash to Germany, and survived a torpedo strike from HMS Trident off Norway. These events forged her reputation as a "lucky ship," a trait she references by calling herself "the miracle of the Third Reich." In narrative portrayals, she initially functions as a major antagonist in the main anime series, appearing from Episode 2. Her role shifts to supporting by Episode 11 after uncovering Akagi and Kaga's true intentions. She commands fleets in combat with directives like "All ships, open fire!" and displays tenacity when damaged, uttering lines such as "Ahhh... how interesting!" during low health. The spin-off *Slow Ahead!* depicts her in lighter contexts, like instructing destroyers Javelin, Laffey, Ayanami, and Z23 in chocolate-making during Episode 2, revealing a mentorship aspect beneath her detached persona. Her relationship with Z23 is noted, though its precise nature remains undefined. Gameplay mechanics reflect her historical resilience through high HP stats and the skill "Unbreakable Shield," which generates rotating shields blocking incoming fire every 20 seconds. She utilizes "All Out Assault: Admiral Hipper Class" after six main gun salvos. Her equipment includes heavy cruiser guns, torpedoes, anti-air weaponry, and auxiliary gear. Stat progression shows increased firepower, torpedo capacity, and efficiency enhancements via limit breaks. Dialogue lines showcase her personality: greeting commanders with teases like "How long can you keep me amused?" and oscillating between mocking declarations ("Commander~ I love you. Just kidding") and genuine emotional moments, especially in pledge scenarios where she acknowledges personal change influenced by the commander. She makes pointed remarks about other characters' physical traits during sorties, commenting on "flat" traditions or challenging Hood's elegance.
