照月 照月(艦これ) 照月(艦隊これくしょん)
[i][[Kantai Collection]][/i]'s personification of the Japanese destroyer [i]Teruzuki[/i]. Character design by [[Shizuma Yoshinori]], voiced by [[Komatsu Mikako]].

h4. Appearance and personality
She has [[long hair|long]] [[light brown hair]] in [[twin braids]] with [[propeller_hair_ornament|propeller hair ornaments]] on the tips as well as [[grey eyes]].

Her [[rigging]] is her own pair of [[Chou-10cm-hou-chan (Teruzuki's)|]] (both have a closed eye, one of them is biting a bullet as if it was a cigar). Her default outfit consists of a white [[sailor shirt]] with a [[black sailor collar]], sleeveless [[black bodysuit]], [[black skirt|black]] [[pleated skirt|pleated]] [[miniskirt]], [[red footwear|red]] [[rudder footwear|rudder]] [[boots]], [[neckerchief]] with her real-life fire control director, and [[thigh strap|thigh-strapped]] drum magazines for her Chou-10cm-hou-chan. 

Teruzuki has a very soft-spoken tone and nervous personality, and looks up to her sister-ship [[akizuki (kancolle)|Akizuki]]. When damaged, her worries about torpedoes and desire to jettison her own munitions stem from how detonation of her depth charges sank her historically.

h4. History
The real-life [i]Teruzuki[/i] sank only 105 days after being sent into active duty, one of the shipgirls in-game with the shortest service careers alongside [[Takanami (kancolle)|]] and [[Suzunami (Kancolle)|]]. Serving in both battles of Guadalcanal, she did assist both [i][[Hiei (kancolle)|Hiei]][/i] and [i][[Kirishima (kancolle)|Kirishima]][/i], and rescued survivors. However, a month later, she was hit by PT boat torpedoes on a transport run in Guadalcanal, and fires spread to her depth charges, starting a chain reaction that ultimately sank her.
