[b]朧[/b] ([i]Night Haze[/i])

The personification of the Japanese destroyer [i]Oboro[/i] in [i][[Kantai Collection]][/i]. 
Character design by [[Drew (drew213g)|]], voiced by [[Hayasaka Kozue]].

h4. Appearance
[tn]See post #2082938 for base form.[/tn]
Like other [i]Ayanami[/i]-class destroyers, she wears a [[serafuku]], carries her [[turret]] in her hands, carries a [[smokestack]] as part of her back gear, and has [[torpedo]] tubes strapped to her thighs. Her particular trademarks are that she has a [[bandaid]] on [[bandaid_on_face|her cheek]] and [[short_hair|short]] [[orange hair|orangey]]-[[brown hair]]. From Christmas 2015, her [[Oboro Kai (Kancolle)|first remodel]] was refined to a new form reflecting Drew's improved art style; see the page for more details.

Her real-life counterpart had a problem with [[crab|crabs]] getting into her, so her official art shows a crab peeking out of her smokestack. She is frequently depicted in fanart having the crab with her 24/7 such as on her [[animal on head|head]] or [[animal on shoulder|shoulder]] and treating it as a [[pet]]. Sometimes fanart will also depict crabs crawling out of her turrets when she least expects it.

h4. Alternate outfits
In her early summer seasonal CG (post #2050553), she wears a green two-piece swimsuit with the bottom under her usual skirt. Her serafuku top is on her left arm and she wears an orange [[wrist scrunchie]]. She carries around a bucket with a crab inside. When damaged, two other crabs appear.

In her autumn CG (post #2117328), she is wearing a green [[yukata]] with a "hazy moon" or "[i][[object_namesake|Oborozuki]][/i]" motif with a matching blue [[obi]] along with some [[hair_ornament|hair ornaments]]. She is holding a skewered [[corn]] cob along with some books. She still wears her backpack gear and her pet crab is on her shoulder.
