[b]若葉[/b] ([i]New Leaves[/i])

Wakaba is the third ship of the [i][[hatsuharu (kancolle)|Hatsuharu]][/i]-class destroyers in [i][[Kantai Collection]][/i].

She has [[short_hair|short]] [[brown hair]] and [[brown eyes]]. She wears a black [[blazer]] over a [[pleated skirt]] like [[hatsushimo (kancolle)|Hatsushimo]]. She wears the blazer open, the shirt open at the lower neck with a corner of it has slipped over her skirt, and the necktie loose and down to the sternum. She also wears black pantyhose.

Her personality is mature, serious, and quite stoic. Fans tend to give her a masochistic personality due to her in-game line when getting hit (痛いぞ！だが。。。悪くない。 ([i]It hurts! But...it's not bad.[/i]). She is also seen smoking in fanart due to her sharing the same name with a "Japanese brand of cigarettes":http://www.cigarettespedia.com/index.php/BrandWakaba.
