霰 (Hail)

Arare was the ninth ship launched (and the tenth, last, ship laid down) of the [i]Asashio[/i]-class destroyers. Her voice actress is Miyagawa Wakana.

h4. Appearance
In [i][[Kantai Collection]][/i], Arare is a timid girl with [[short_hair|short]] [[black hair]] and [[brown eyes]]. She wears a [[hat]], a [[short_sleeves|short-sleeved]] [[white shirt]], a [[skirt]] with [[suspenders]] and [[black socks|black]] [[kneehighs]].

For her [[arare kai ni (kancolle)|second remodel]] see the respective tag.

Her self-introduction is "霰です……。んちゃ、とかは言いません……。よろしく…… (I'm Arare… I don't say something like "[[dr._slump|N-cha]]"… Thank you…)"
However, she often says that phrase unthinkingly.

h4. History
The historical Arare was sunk by USS Growler, in one of the few successful early war submarine attacks by the US Navy. Off the Alaskan coast at Kiska, Commander Howard W. Gilmore fired a spread of 4 torpedoes against Arare, Kasumi and Shiranui. Every torpedo hit, and Arare was sunk immediately, while the other ships were so badly damaged they had to be towed all the way back to Japan.
