清霜 "Clear Frost"
The nineteenth and last ship of the Yuugumo-class destroyers in Kantai Collection.
She wears the standard Yuugumo-class uniform which consists of a purple/maroon halterneck dress over a white shirt, a teal-blue bowtie, grey/purple opaque pantyhose and lace-up boots. She wears her rigging on her back with yellow straps. Quadruple torpedo launchers are strapped to her thighs and she wields a standard 12.7cm gun with her right hand.
She has very long, multicolored hair that is grey on the outside and blue on the inside. She has a complex hairstyle involving a hair bun turning into low twintails, an ahoge, a strand of hair passing between her eyes and a significantly longer bang to the right side of her face. She also has grey eyes.
An excitable girl, she wants to become a battleship due to her admiration of the battleship Musashi. So, it is not uncommon to draw her with Musashi's (or another battleship's) rigging, if only to collapse under the weight.
Somewhat resembles a certain old-fashioned hermit in looks but much more in temperament.
Historically, Kiyoshimo was constructed late in the war, mid-1944, and the only notable battle she participated in was the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Kiyoshimo rescued the survivors of Musashi and then retreated after taking damage, and did not participate further. After repairs, Kiyoshimo was sunk returning to the Philippines by Allied air attack on December 26th, 1944, and most of her survivors were rescued by Asashimo.
