    Well, you are right. She is the serious one among the Northampton-class. post #1876856
    BTW they nicknamed her "Lulu"/"Loo-Loo"

    I accidentally clicked downvote rather than reply. x)

    We've actually not really seen anyone compare her to Kaga, but then again, their personalities are really nothing alike. If anything I've seen more folks on the Chinese side compare Mary to Myoukou because of the similarity in primary colors. xD

    Unfortunately in terms of art, it's our stylistic choice. Plenty of Chinese don't feel like our stuff's loli or kawaii enough, but it's how we choose to interpret our ideas.

    Of the three Northampton class CAs Louiville's my favorite, partly because she does look like Kaga and there's good reason for that judging by her history. Plus, there are other characters that look similar to Louisville and Kaga so there is that; it's not like Kaga's design is something completely original, and hell I think Shibafu purposefully did that to show the more human side of shipgirls.

    The only other shipgirl I can see looking like one of the KC shipgirls (aside from MD) is Iowa; I've seen comparisons between her and Fusou but considering Iowa more or less pulled a Mutsu in 1989 it's not surprising that she might be the unluckiest of her class.

    I guess I like familiarity, so seeing some girls looking like each other is a plus.
