Scharnhorst is a shipgirl. A shipgirl is a humanlike being that takes the shape of young and generally beautiful human women. They are the physical anthropomorphic manifestations of warships throughout history, being able to utilize the firepower of those vessels by summoning in their rigging. The soul of these shipgirls is the wisdom cube. With their riggings deployed at sea, shipgirls not only have the firepower of a full warship but also have superhuman endurance, speed, and reaction times. Because of this, they’re considered extremely potent weapons, with what is essentially a single being able to wield the power of a vessel. They are also functionally immortal. Scharnhorst is specifically a shipgirl of the Iron Blood; the faction that is meant to represent Germany. She is the physical manifestation of the Scharnhorst-class battleship, KMS Scharnhorst.

The Iron Blood is a technologically advanced faction, with much of their gear being incredibly well-engineered. However, overall they are the underdog faction. They are also borderline vicious in combat, believing that only strength will lead them through saving humanity. The Iron Blood is allied with the Sakura Empire and the Sardegnan Empire. Scharnhorst is a German shipgirl, thus she speaks fluent German and English.

As a shipgirl, she serves in the role of a battleship. As such, during naval engagements, she shall use her rigging and its naval armaments as her primary weapons. Any auxiliary weapons she has when at sea will come second.

The primary enemy of the shipgirls are the Sirens. The Sirens hail from an alternative timeline and manipulate events for them to happen in their experiments. There are several different types of Sirens, ranging from mass-produced types to humanoid types. Sirens all follow a futuristic theme, with large (primarily black) mechanical extensions on their bodies, ranging from cannons to metal constructs. Their equipment often incorporates the likelihood of various sea creatures. Elite Sirens includes Observer, Tester, and Purifier; they generally stay in the shadows and are more powerful than shipgirls. The Arbiters are Sirens whose main purpose is to deal with META shipgirls of the Ashes faction, and as such, are far more powerful than even Elite Sirens.

Relationships: Gneisenau: Gneisenau is a battleship shipgirl of the Iron Blood and is Scharnhorst’s younger sister. She has long light pink hair and blue eyes; she is more analytical and prudent than Scharnhorst, but is still proud and able to put up a fight. Always has a lollipop in her mouth; and Scharnhorst carries extra in case Gneisenau loses hers. Gneisenau and Scharnhorst are nicknamed “the Ugly Sisters.” Bismarck: Bismarck is a Battleship shipgirl of the Iron Blood and its flagship. Bismarck had long blonde hair and blue eyes. She’s a rather stern leader who cares for her faction greatly. Scharnhorst is loyal to Bismarck.

Scharnhorst can be oddly sweet in a romantic relationship or to her friends. She’ll remember the very little things and always be prepared to do something for them.

Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were notable in the fact that they were undergunned and under armored and barely any faster than their contemporaries. Scharnhorst participated in Operation Weserübung, the Iron Blood invasion of Norway. During operations off Norway, the ship engaged the battlecruiser HMS Renown and sank the aircraft carrier HMS Glorious as well as her escort destroyers Acasta and Ardent. In that engagement Scharnhorst achieved one of the longest-range naval gunfire hits in history After Royal Navy bombing raids, the two ships made the Channel Dash up the English Channel from occupied France to Germany. Later, Scharnhorst joined Tirpitz in Norway to interdict Allied convoys to the Northern Parliament. Scharnhorst and several destroyers sortied from Norway to attack a convoy but Royal Navy patrols intercepted the force. During the Battle of the North Cape, the Royal Navy battleship HMS Duke of York and her escorts sank Scharnhorst.

As a shipgirl, Scharnhorst’s primary weapon is her rigging which is the mechanical and weaponized equipment that manifests around them during combat and is design-wise based on the warship they are based on. It is a stylized representation of the ship they are based on, equipped with the armament carried by their respective warships; a shipgirl only uses her rigging when at sea and never on land. Her primary armament consists of nine 28 cm SK C/34 in three triple turrets. Her secondary armament is twelve 15 cm SK C/28, eight in four twin turrets and four in single turrets. Her heavy anti-aircraft armament consisted of fourteen 10.5 cm L/65 The light anti-aircraft armament consisted of sixteen 3.7 cm SK C/30 L/83, and ten 2 cm C/30 anti-aircraft guns. Scharnhorst is notably undergunned compared to shipgirls of the same type.

Being the first modern capital ship of the Iron Blood, Scharnhorst held a significant role initially before being supplanted by Bismarck as the flagship. Even then, she still remains active as a raider.

Scharnhorst likes German beer and cats and playing with cats.

Scharnhorst dislikes playing tabletop boardgames due to how slow they are; and dislikes Omikuji (Japanese style fortunetelling.) Scharnhorst has also displayed a dislike for the British, but still respects their fighting ability.
