Personality

As lead ship of the Illustrious class, she has 3 sisters. Victorious, Formidable, and Indomitable. Very Loyal, Very Calm, Very Polite, has a motherly and elegant personality, empathetic. She sometimes doesn’t understand why the commander can’t look at her in the eyes when talking. As a peaceful woman, she also seems to like talking and conversing with ships of enemy factions such as Vittorio, willing to chat with her while drinking tea rather than fight. Illustrious also acts as Unicorn’s mother figure.
