South.pngAppearance
South Vietnam has an identical appearance to her sister, North Vietnam (who is currently the unified Vietnam) albeit with an orange to peach colored ao dai with the white pants swapped out for a white flowing skirt. She also carries two baskets that are tied onto both ends of a stick. Inside are some lotuses, hay and two chicks (one with a half shell on their head). Like her sister, South Vietnam has honey gold eyes with dark brown hair. Before the two were split, she had long shoulder-length hair tied into a low ponytail. During her time as a French Colony, she wore a messy bun. She cuts her hair shorter after the split and uses a white ribbon to tie it into a half ponytail. South Vietnam's structure is petite and has a hidden curvy figure. South Vietnam is also shorter and lighter than her northern counterpart; most likely due to the differences in strengths.

Personality and Interests
Originally a noble turned farmer, South was described by others as ingenuous and demure. While she was forward with her words, she was unpredictable in her actions. Despite this, the girl was easy to intimidate and would constantly worry over everything; obsessing over her mistakes and whether or not she was bothering others. She harbored an interest in Western Culture and disliked anything that was too expensive to afford. South Vietnam was noted to have been frugal with her money but often sold things at cheap prices. Out of the two, South Vietnam was always weaker and more  submissive. This meant she was often a favorite of whoever was 'taking care' of them due to her easy-to-control personality.

North Vietnam was implied to have killed South Vietnam during the Fall of Saigon on April 5th 1975.

North Vietnam AKA Vietnam
South Vietnam maintained a positive, close and healthy relationship with her older sister up to 1955. Before the split, the two spent almost every second with eachother. Enjoying many activities together despite their contrasts in personality, They thought highly of eachother and cared for eachother dearly. As an older sibling, North Vietnam was the one who mostly protected South, while South Vietnam mostly hid and dissaproved of the violence. However, they did aid eachother as much as they could during their time of need. The sisters often wanted what was best for eachother, and thus was what brought on their fateful argument over Communism and Capitalism, marking a rare moment of disagreement between the two sisters (another being the Trinh-Nguyen war).

Upon North Vietnam's return to South Vietnam's house in hopes to reunite them both in 1975, it was implied North was forced to kill her after South struggled in desperation to keep her independent status going. In present day, North still remembers her sister but many don't bring South up in a conversation around or with her. South Vietnam called North Vietnam "chị lớn" while North called South "em gái".

America
Both her former mentor and best friend, the two nations held a symbolic relationship which impacted the rest of the world even after her dissolvation. During the time the spent together, America had doted on her lovingly saw South Vietnam as a seperate individual from her sister with her own value. South Vietnam  reciprocated his friendly affection for her and thought of him highly; believing that he was really a hero who would save her. At times, some could say that they really loved eachother.

Despite this, America was never able to understand the Vietnam sisters, and at times ended up contributing to South Vietnam's downfall. Towards the end, the genuine friendship between the two grew sour as more and more nations began to disapprove of how America was dealing with her situation. After learning of her death, he formed a mixture of depression and guilt nicknamed " Vietnam Syndrome " until winning the Gulf War almost 15 years later. In present day, he is one of the few nations who remembers her.

France
During the time of French Indochina, South Vietnam was one of the first to be forced into his empire. While originally showing resistance towards him, she dejectedly submitted to him after a crushed uprising in 1916. France, on the other hand, found her more gentler and less of a problem to deal with than her sister. In summary, South Vietnam had a mostly quiet life  as a French Colony and her government was given International Diplomatic Recognition in 1950. In the present, he avoids talking about her in public but does when someone brings it up in private.

Japan
Prior to the end of the Nguyen dynasty, The Vietnam sisters and Japan had gotten along relatively well. With a good enough trade that was even allowed after his isolationism (though Netherlands, of course). During WW2, France surrendered his Indochina to Japan. This caused some rifts as even though Japan seemed to cater more about South Vietnam, she didn't really like him or the way he treated their situation. However, she did respect him to some degree as he did try to promise her independence away from France and him if Japan won. During the Vietnam War; Japan tried to encourage some negotiations between the two.

Trivia

 * South Vietnam's birthday corresponds with the founding of the State of Vietnam in June 14th 1949 (which later became the Republic of Vietnam in 1955). However, the date of the State of Vietnam referendum (which was the official day that a new government would be decided for the State of Vietnam) was October 26th 1955, which could count as a birthday. Another birthday could be July 20th 1954, when South and North were split in the Geneva conference. As the State of Vietnam was the root of the two latter birthdays, the creator went with the founding of the State of Vietnam.
 * She may be referred to as South Vietnam or the Republic of Vietnam. Her former title was State of Vietnam until the State of Vietnam refurendum.
 * Her original design was a young woman wearing an orange ao dai with long front bangs and a short back. Another was quite similar, but her hair was chopped messily to chin-length and had two Hoa Mai flowers placed between both her ears.
 * She had a bike and motorcycle as a means of transport. According to America, South could also perform some pretty 'sick' moves with them too.
 * South Vietnam is knowledgable in hand-to-hand combat as an expert in Vovinam. She uses an AK47 Rifle as a weapon of choice.
 * The Vietnam Sisters are twins. However, the possibility they may be fraternal still stands due to their different eye shapes and height.
 * It's also possible that a third family member existed, which could've been middle Vietnam (Annam). Prior to 1949, it's likely that this Middle Vietnam acted as a motherly or fatherly figure to both Cochinchina and Tonkin before it was split in two to contribute to both North and South Vietnam.
 * While her human name is yet to be decided, several choices have been: Mai An, Tien Ba, Xuan Tuyen with a last name of Chung, Trinh, Nguyen or Trung. As an english name, Cheryl would be nice.
