What would a xianxia cultivation setting ship be like if summoned as a ship girl?

I've had this idea for a little while of running a quest where a xianxia setting ship is summoned. There would of course be options for customization of the ships background that would influence her capabilities and personalities. I'm curious what you guys would think of the idea and what ideas you have for possible backgrounds? What kind of personality and abilities and weapons would a flying ship of the Ascending Divine Lighting sect have? what about a ship of the Eternal Ice Palace sect? What do you guys think? And would this kind of quest be something that you would be interested in?
 
Well, you would almost certainly get a lot of formation weapons like a Radiant Lightning Lance array or defenses like a Winds of the North screen. The ships could be very oddly shaped too, literal floating fortresses on clouds, odd constructs made of forged rainbows, anything really depending on how far you lean into the Xainxia theme. Personality wise they would almost certainly all be battlejunkies, and also most likely be rather formal and ask to duel people a lot. They would also almost certainly never obey orders from a basic mortal human, unless they have no choice, seeing as any actual cultivation ship construct will have absorbed that cultivator arrogance against vanilla mortals.
As for being summoned as a shipgirl back fro the dead… honestly they'd probably just start cultivating spiritual Qi, forge themselves a new internal system/spirit and sustain themselves that way. Depending on what type of Sect built them they might even use Abysals as cultivation reagents if those are a thing in your setting.
