ビスマルク(アズールレーン) ビスマルク 俾斯麦
[i][[Azur Lane]][/i]'s personification of the German battleship [i]Bismarck[/i]. Character design by [[Hao (patinnko)|]], voiced by [[Fukuhara Ayaka]]. 

She is portrayed with [[blue eyes]] and [[long_hair|long]] [[blonde hair]]. Her normal outfit consists of a black [[military uniform]] with [[German flag print|German flag accents]] on her skirt, while her [[peaked cap]] is accented with symbols of the German Empire. She also wears a [[fur_trim|fur-trimmed]] [[cape]] and a pair of fur-trimmed [[black_footwear|black]] [[thigh boots]]. Her [[Bismarck (coat of arms)|coat-of-arms]] is displayed on her left shoulder, and like her sister Tirpitz, she carries a [[flag|pennant]].

She was present in the game since its beginning, serving as the boss for the tutorial. In May 2019, as part of Azur Lane's second anniversary, she was formally introduced as a playable character in the [i]Scherzo of Iron and Blood[/i] event. The announcement of her addition to the game also happened to coincide with the release of the song [i]"Bismarck":[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVWEb-At8yc&vl=en-US][/i] by the Swedish [[power metal]] band, [[sabaton (band)|Sabaton]], leading to Azur Lane's official English twitter account "quoting the opening lyrics to the song":[https://twitter.com/AzurLane_EN/status/1126879577207271424] as a hint to her addition to the game.

h4. Personality
Personality-wise, she is actually a shy person despite being the main flagship of the Ironblood fleet, though during combat she displays a more stern appearance. Even though she is the flagship, she is able to mingle around with lesser ships, particularly the submarine [[u-556_(azur_lane)|U-556]] (who was historically sent to retrieve Bismarck's logs after she sank).
