[[Kantai Collection]]'s depiction of HMAS Perth (D29), drawn by [[Kusada Souta]]. HMAS Perth was one of three modified Leander-class light cruisers used by the Royal Australian Navy during the early part of [[World War II]]. She was originally called HMS Amphion before being renamed after "the capital city of the state of Western Australia":[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perth]. She is the game's first Australian shipgirl.

Visually, Perth has [[purple eyes]] and [[long_hair|long]] [[blonde hair]] tied in a [[braided bun]] with a [[braid]] across the front. She wears a [[school uniform]] consisting of a [[short sleeves|short-sleeved]] [[white shirt|white]] [[dress shirt]] underneath a [[green vest]] with a [[blue necktie]], a [[blue skirt|blue]] [[pleated_skirt|pleated]] [[plaid skirt]], a pair of [[green legwear|green]] [[thighhighs]], and [[brown footwear|brown]] [[loafers]]. Her [[machinery]] includes a pair of [[adapted turret]]s and a [[searchlight]]. She also has a [[green cape]] draped over her left shoulder, fastened by a large [[badge]] that strangely resembles the [[Icelandic flag]] and six seven-pointed stars which resemble those found on the Australian flag.

Because she is originally British, she does not exhibit the stereotypical mannerisms and preferences associated with Australians. She does make a reference to "Vegemite":[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegemite], a popular Australian sandwich spread, and is often accompanied by a [[koala]] in fan art (due to one clinging to a fairy version of her, the 6-inch Twin Rapid Fire Gun Mount Mk.XXI fairy).

She was originally commissioned for the [[Royal Navy]] on 15 June 1936 and was sold to the Royal Australian Navy in June 1939. She was sunk during the Battle of Sunda Strait on 1 March 1942.
