Shima Tateishi

Chief Artillery Officer of the destroyer-class ship, Harekaze. She comes across as quiet, reserved, and soft-spoken. Her speech is halting, limited to just a word or two; when answering, she simply says "Oui." It was the school's decision to assign her to the Harekaze in the hope that the experience would improve her communication skills. As her list of special talents suggests, she excels at softball; she is a true professional who delivers results, even though she says little more than "Oui" during matches. She also loves curry—so much so that she once ate it for every meal for two whole weeks. In fact, she becomes quite articulate whenever the conversation turns to curry. While one might think eating nothing but curry for a fortnight would get tedious, it apparently wasn't a hardship for her at all.
