On March 18, 2022, the Azur Lane English Twitter account unveiled RN Impero's "Languid Librarian" skin, a cozy school-themed outfit for the sleepy Sardegna Empire carrier, teasing her arrival in docks soon after.
The artwork captures Impero lounging on a library rug amid towering bookshelves, pencil in hand and book open, dressed in a plaid skirt, off-shoulder sweater over a partially unbuttoned blouse, black stockings, and loafers, with falling autumn leaves adding a whimsical touch. Chibi expressions showcase her range from bashful blushes to drowsy yawns, emphasizing her laid-back personality against a warm, wooden interior backdrop. Voiced by Omori Nichika, this skin promised new voice lines and animations, available via the shop during the "Virtual Tower" event for 800 gems. Commanders eagerly anticipated how it complemented her base design, blending academic charm with her signature lethargy for a fresh take on Sardegna fashion.
The post quickly racked up over 2,600 likes and dozens of replies, with fans gushing over Impero's adorable uniform and relatable tiredness. One commander declared, "Impero looks so damn cute in uniform," praising how it retained her original outfit's charm points like the short skirt and open sweater. Others fixated on her "DAMN PEEEEEFECT THIGHS," loving the skin's emphasis on her legs in stockings. Playful comments like "Friendship ended with vittorio now impero is my best waifu" highlighted her rising popularity among Sardegna enthusiasts. Many expressed outright affection, with one librarian approving: "My love for her grows every day! BEST SKIN!" The overall vibe was one of instant wallet-opening excitement for this "lovely outfit for an equally lovely girl."
While praise dominated, some fans sparked debates over the skin's slightly revealing elements, like the unbuttoned shirt, with one lamenting, "Maaan, school outfits are supposed to be wholesome! Why you gotta give her a shirt that doesn't fit properly?" Counterarguments defended the design, noting "There are plenty of wholesome outfits" and that Azur Lane caters to varied tastes, including lewd and cute. Foot enthusiasts expressed mild disappointment, saying "Oh god she's wearing sock 🤩 but why didn't you put her feet up? Damit it Yostar 😢," prompting suggestions for alternate poses with more focus on her soles. Others zoomed in on details like her far-off gaze or comfy setup, joking "She’s gonna fall asleep 😴" amid the books. These mixed reactions underscored the community's passion, blending critique with creative ideas for future skins.
Impero's Languid Librarian skin launched shortly after on March 24 as part of the Virtual Tower event, quickly becoming a fan-favorite for its Live2D animations that captured her drowsy animations and scholarly quirks. It boosted engagement in Sardegna fleets, with commanders oath-ing her for the added voice lines and thematic synergy with event lore. Fanart and memes proliferated, often highlighting her "sleepy Italian Laffey" vibe and library escapades. Obtainable via permanent shop today, it remains a go-to for collectors, enhancing Impero's meta presence with visual flair. By 2025, this skin stands as a testament to Azur Lane's knack for blending cuteness and sensuality, keeping Sardegna's carrier queen eternally beloved in docks worldwide.
