bon homme richard (meta) (azur lane)
The personification of the Essex-class aircraft carrier USS Bon Homme Richard in Azur Lane, albeit in META (Ashes Faction) form.
Character design by Shisantian.
She was historically named after:
- John Paul Jones' eponymous frigate from the American Revolutionary War
- Benjamin Franklin (albeit rendered as "Bonhomme Richard")
Appearance
Unlike the other Essex-class carriers already implemented, Bon Homme Richard is depicted in a younger physical form, and it is implied to be the form that she will appear in her normal Eagle Union Faction form. She sports short white hair with a belt hairband that is reminiscent of Shirogane Noel. She has red eyes in META form and blue eyes in her Eagle Union form (as attested by a cutscene CG in the event she starred in).
She wears a cape with long straps and a scarf, with a white belt to her front with the hull number CV-31 printed on it. She also wears black thighhighs. As she is portrayed in Ashes Faction META form, her clothes are black, yet they can be hinted as the same as her eventual Eagle Union Faction form. She also doesn't appear to wear any panties in this form.
As for her rigging, she uses the same split-flight deck design of her sisters with her hull number "31" painted on the front of her left flight deck.
