BB Colorado

Codename: Colorado Age: Late 20's Gender: Female Eye Color: Blue Occupation: Shipgirl, US Navy. Colorado-class BB, member of the Big Seven. When combat equipped, her rigging consists of four 16inch twin cannon mounts in a split-hull configuration providing cover on either side. Low anti-aircraft complement. Appearance: Clocking in at a shorter than average for a serviceman, 5'5", Colorado is a bit of a shortstack. Of the Big Seven, she's noticeably the shortest along with her sister, who goes by the codename Maryland. Doesn't mean she's particularly lacking in any regards other than height though, with a nicely shaped figure that's partially the result of military training and partially some side indulgences; her breasts are a modest and pillowy D-cup while nice, subtle bits fat cling to just the right places around her hips and belly, culminating in a pretty big ass. Rather proud of herself for toeing the line between slim and worked, her build isn't too shabby if she has anything to say about it. Blonde hair is kept in a stylish short cut that has it spilling just to her shoulders in immaculate curls while a pair of prim braids trail from the top like the silhouette of a hairband. Colorado's standard uniform consists of a sleeveless white blouse that exposes both her arms and a generous amount of sideboob paired with a navy blue mini skirt. Above that, she wears a gray fabric corset designed to resemble an armor bulkhead, held in pace by a belt while its frilled sides fall in an additional layer over her skirt. Rounding out her usual is a horizontal mast-like headpiece trailing from above her ears to the back of her head, a pair of long gray elbow gloves with black finger sections, a tiny gray garrison cap, and dark pantyhose underneath it all. When cold or at sea, she wear a gray capelet with blue insides around her shoulders. Her blue tie is also marked with her pennant number underneath a white star. Her style of underwear is ostentatious black lace. History: At one point in the Abyssal war, Colorado had been lost in action with moderate injuries that proved fatal when seized by Abyssals; a barely living Colorado was implanted with their stem cells, which merged with her own DNA until she ultimately became a fully fledged Conversion Type. In her Abyssal form, later dubbed the "Abyssal Pacific Princess" by United Nations forces, both her skin and hair had fully turned white while the blue of her eyes became even more prominent. Paired with a whale-like male Abyssal as escort, she led a large scale operation to seize Pearl Harbor from the humans stationed there. It was a Japanese strike force led by CarDiv1 that rallied with American survivors before both took the fight to her, defeating the Pacific Princess and bringing Colorado back to her senses. Now, there isn't any trace of the Abyss' fingerprints on her genome after a full recovery and she has returned to active service. All her memories of when she was an Abyssal are blurred out and hazy, too. Personality: A rather forward woman, Colorado exudes a sense of confidence despite her small size and rather limited application on the battlefield compared to more advanced designs. Slow going when compared to later mainstay FBBs, though with more reliable armor and fatter cannons than her pre-WWII contemporaries. When it comes to shelling, it's all the same either way when 16inch rounds start coming down. That's what keeps her secure, unbothered by what she doesn't do well to focus on what she does. Sometimes though, it might slip into some borderline hubristic behavior as she overstates her own impact, but it's all good fun in the end with any ribbing that might get shot to or fro. Meanwhile on the battlefield, she does know how to temper herself so that she doesn't overextend... though her speed is likely to keep her from wandering regardless. The fact that she's essentially died once already hasn't put anxiety into her disposition, but rather given her a freer, more optimistic outlook that's broader than just herself. At the same time, it does mean that she is very much one to make the most of the moment. Seize the day, as you will. Takes her duty seriously, though sometimes her big sister energy might leak out a little. Sexual: In terms of her strong suit, it's obvious what Colorado herself would say. It's the armpits, right? They're right out there flaunted for a reason, and she knows that for some men it's the perfect kryptonite. Seduction isn't something that's out of her wheelhouse in the slightest, putting in a little bit of womanly edge with a strategic blush here or a coy refusal there. Downplaying things as a method of reeling someone in. Though, it's not like she'll perform for just anyone or anything like that. Likes: NY Strip Steak (well with lots of steak sauce), liquor that suits the occasion (usually beer for hangouts but wine for the refined) Relationships: The eldest of her siblings (even if it isn't by much), Colorado has two younger sisters who go by the codenames Maryland (Mary) and West Virginia (Weevee) respectively. Maintains a good relationship with the other members of the Big Seven, particularly her foreign nameship counterparts: Nelson and Nagato. They are infrequently in contact, but do send each other a line a couple times a year.
