The seventh ship of the Benson-class destroyer, Laffey, is a prominent character in the series alongside Javelin and Ayanami. Despite their differences, Laffey hopes to befriend Ayanami. However, due to the Sakura Empire's declaration of war on Azur Lane, she must face her.
Laffey wears distinctive clothing including a white boot with a red sole, anklet with a red detail plate, all-white tights, a blue shirt with a white centered line, and a pink jacket over it. She also sports a red bow on her head and rabbit ears stuck in her hair. In combat, Laffey utilizes a Single 127mm (5 "/ 38 Mk 30) and a 533mm Quintuple Torpedo Mount.
Despite appearing sleepy and uninterested in her surroundings, Laffey is fiercely protective of her friends when they are endangered, similar to her relationship with the Commander in the game.
