Fan-nickname: 装備妖精 (Soubi Yousei, literally "Equipment Fairy")

Collectively, they are the many [[minigirl|tiny girls]] who appear in the equipment cards (and presumably operate them) in [i][[Kantai Collection]][/i].

Several of them, especially the more recent ones, are [[look-alike|look-alikes]] of certain ship girls, as they represent their signature equipment. For example, The fairies of the Type 32 Surface Radar Kai "resemble Ise and Hyuuga":/posts/2044610. Alternatively, the Skilled Lookouts fairies "resemble Ayanami and Choukai":/posts/2200303.
