Character Name: Feliciano Vargas, aka North Italy
Character Series: Axis Powers Hetalia
Character Age: Italy appears to be 20 at the start of WW2, so I'll stick with that.
Background: Feli's biography and a little bit about what Hetalia is. In a nut shell, Hetalia is about the "Nations"; personifications of various countries of the world, and their interactions with each other. The setting of the series takes place during WW2, but Hetalia has never had a strict timeline and it's common for episodes to jump from the past to the present, and then back again. For a better rundown of Feli and his biography: As a child he lived in Grandpa Rome's house, where he was happy just drawing and painting. Grandpa Rome also showed Feli preferential treatment and had taken the child with him when he went travelling. However, with the disappearance of Rome, Feli ended up back at his home and, due to his poor strength and lack of apparent fighting ability, he was soon subjagated by Austria. He spent most of his childhood and his teen years living in Mr Austria's house as a servant. It was also there that he met his first love, the Holy Roman Empire. Having been mistaken as a girl, Feli had long held the attention and secret admiration of HRE. However, before puberty struck and threw their maybe-it-is, maybe-it-isn't relationship into a mess, HRE went out to conquer the world and he never came back. When Feli finally hit puberty and his true sex revealed, Austria quickly purchased clothes for the now recognized younger man. And as Feli grew older, he would eventually gain his independance from Austria, reunite with his older brother Romano to form the Kingdom of Italy, and end up meeting the man who would be his best friend, Germany, while hiding in a tomato box in WW1. Their relationship, from that off captor and prisoner, took an abrupt 180 degree turn in WW2 when Feli became Germany's first friend. Hetalia canon hasn't mentioned what happened immediately after WW2, but as Feli and Germany are still portrayed as good friends in the movie Paint it White which takes place in modern times, it's probably safe to say they have remained as good friends even in the aftermath of losing WW2.
Personality: Where can I start with a country? I guess Feli's chief characteristic would be how big a coward he is in the face of the enemy. Hetalia drew upon stereotypes of the citizens of that particular country in order to create the personification, and apparently Italians were horrible at both wars, with a reputation of being very efficient at retreating from the enemy. As such, Feli himself is not that brave a person; he will cry, he will scream, and he will run away like the coward he is when faced with the enemy. Germany himself cannot understand how North Italy is so-so in training, but the mere threat of England sends him sprinting even faster than the (then) militaristic and super-fit Germany. Even in WW1, Germany met North Italy while the man was hiding in a tomato box from him. The man is simply a scaredy-cat, driven by his fear of being punished or hurt by others stronger than him.
Oddly enough though, North Italy is not as weak as he may seem. Hirumaya, the author of Hetalia, once said that Italy could be strong if given the right reasons. And as hard as it may seem to believe, he once chased away the Mighty Ottomon Empire as a smaller child with his Navy. Perhaps the Italians are better at sea warfare, but for tiny North Italy to take on Turkey at his strongest is still quite an achievement.
Which brings me to my next poing about Feli. Feli fought the Ottoman Empire because he wanted to protect Mr Austria, who was in effect, his captor. Feli is actually a very loving and caring individual, even to those who treat him horribly. Austria was a strict master, and he would often punish Feli if Feli made any mistakes, or tried to regain his independance in the early days. However, much much later when Spain fought Austria and tried to convince Feli to come with him, Feli instead chose to remain with Austria although he had often regarded Spain as an older brother. He could not abandon Austria at a point in his life when Austria was at his weakest. Another example would be with Germany. Although Germany has treated North Italy harshly at some points; eg. making him run lots of laps, gave him a job with really bad pay, and was once feared by Feli, Feli eventually grew fond and friendly with the Germanic Nation. Feli also shows concern for Germany and Japan. Once, when the two other Nations abstained from their favorite food, Feli tried to convince them that it wasn't too bad to eat what they liked, but only in moderation as it wasn't healthy to abstain in entirety from drinking beer or eating salted fish.
Lastly, Feli is a bit of a lady's man. He has been known to flirt with girls at any occasion. At a party where Germany first met Japan, Japan's first impression of Italy was the man who was flirting with all the ladies. When Germany, driven to desperation by Feli's carefree nation about his imprisonment, released the man just so he could get rid of him, Feli merely walked off, chatted and made friends with some ladies, before heading back to his cell. Feli is less seductive though, and more of the friendly and cheerful sort of flirting. Feli is very affectionate and treats women very well, something that's shared between him and his brother Lovino.
To sum North Italy up, he is like that cuddly, family-friendly dog who runs away at strangers, but who'll stay and guard you if he must.
Abilities: As a Nation, Feliciano has immortality in the sense that unless he has been abolished as a country or stops representing a population of people who identify themselves in a country, he cannot die. Wounds are not fatal, and he is tougher to kill than a normal human. Feli is also fantastic at running away, and you have to be quick on your feet to catch him once he starts sprinting away. Lastly, he is a great cook, a great painter and in my headcanon, a great opera singer if only because Italians are known for their opera singers and their higher standards of opera.
Sample Entry:
1. Making Pasta for Mayfielders:
Ve, ve, everybody! I've made some nice pasta for all of us to share! It's got bolognaise, parmesan, and lots of Big Brother Spain's juicy tomatoes. Best of all, it's really nice to eat pasta under the hot sun with your family and friends, and we can all have a siesta afterwards too! Germany used to complain that my siestas were a waste of time, but I think its important that we all get enough sleep and rest, so that we're all charged for the rest of the day! And don't worry, it doesn't taste like that bad English food; it's delicious Italian food so you don't have to be afraid of getting a bad tummy ache later.
...
What do you mean I can't use the milk? You need the milk to make things creamy and nice to eat! And the nice Milkman gave me so much this morning as well. Isn't he friendly?
So eat up! I made it ESPECIALLY for all of my good friends here!
