Sicilia

Sicily' (シチリア Sicilia) is a fan-made character for the series: Axis Powers Hetalia. She recieves the human name Giulia Forestieri.

Appearance
Sicily is a short, awkward woman with olive green eyes and tan skin. In an old sketch of Sicily, she is seen with bangs that flip outward slightly, before earning a few wispy bangs stopping bluntly at her brows. Her hair is of a warm brown color and is very curly, slightly puffed out at the side by her big ears. She has a big nose, and full brows and lips on that note as well. Her cup size is B-C, which is common in Italy.

She is often seen wearing casual clothes in the more modern day, most notibly an orange V-neck halter sundress with a light yellow belt cinching in the waist and reaching to her knees. Sicily hates skimpy clothes, seeing the Arab dominance has shaped her to dress modestly. During WW2, Sicily was a storage for the Axis and was attacked by the Allies, and is seen wearing the beige Sicilian WW2 uniform. In her closets, she has a variety of traditional dresses for folk performances.

Personality and Interests
Sicilians are known for warmth, hard-headedness, and being welcoming and loud, and this one is NO exception. She does have a bit of a temper, but she just doesn't like being outspoken by her peers. When you're upset, she will not leave you alone until she's knows what's wrong and if there's something you can do to make you feel any better. She does talk with her hands and will occasionally feel the need to talk over people, and will not let anyone leave until they know how she feels, she doesn't believe in hiding emotions and must know how everyone feels. She, despite popular belief, is quite flirty, but she "Does it for fun", she's not ready to commit to something serious. She does tend to over-analyze things and is unable to multi-task, and is very religious after once being taxed to practice religion. Sicily is flirty, quirky, and one of the loudest people you will ever meet.

Sicily is often seen handling tourists. She has a lot to share with other people, and she she is learning English to communicate with them. She enjoys riding her bike on this hilly island. At home, she writes in Sicilian, as most Sicilians do and speaks Italian publicly, occasionally throwing in the "Ciau, Bidda!" She has a garden of Zagaras, citrus, and some wheat. Being surrounded by water, you would often find her in a modest swimsuit "taming the ocean".

Relationships
Phoenicia

The first to settle in Sicily after the natives, Phoenicia is a father to Sicily. He was a rather stern colonizers and all of his colonies thogether were under his rule (Before the Cathigians and Byzantines came in, he even controlled parts of Nothern Africa.) but he treated each of them genderless.

Ancient Greece
A motherly figure to Sicily, who brought many things to Sicily, including grape vines and olives to Sicily. She is often protective of Sicily, had given her her dog, and has compared her eyes to olives.

Carthage
Fighting for the region, the violence lead to not-so good relations between him and the Sicels. Technecally Sicily's brother, she wasn't kind to him for obvious reasons.

Rome
The empire made little effort to Romanize the region, leaving a mainly Greek popularion. While basically ignored by the Romans, Sicily appreciated that he got rid of Carthage.

Germania
She was unsure of the Ostrogoths at first, they wished to inforce Roman culture, but they went away eventually. ((>>If the Vandals don't count as part of Germania, please correct me! This is 440 A.D. here and the Ostrogoths were a Germanic people!<<))

Byzantium
Sicily isn't all that proud of the Gothic war, but once of her cities was once the capitol, and that's when Latin was slowly replaced by Greek.

Persia
Sicily wasn't too happy with the Arab Dominance, and had taken sides with the Byzantine population of SIcily. The pretty Al-Khalisa (Kalsa) contained the Sultan's Palace, baths, a mosque, government offices and a private prison. Much to his distaste, Byzantium still ruled the east. She did like, however, the modestly way he had shaped her. ((>>Again, if this in inaccurate and the Arab dominators WEREN'T Persian, correct me!<<))

Normans
A MAJOR step in Sicily's history, Sicily was independent at this time, being her own kingdom. Many to thank them for, Sicily liked being a country, with her own flag, embassies, navy, along with being one of the 12 Middle Aged Kingdoms of Europe, along with France, Scotland, Poland, Hungary, England, and six others.

Spain
During this time would be that of the Spanish Silk trade, during his visit, she is seen wearing a ribbon pinned to her uniform. Welcoming by nature, she allowed him to make himself comfortable.

France
Still not complaining about the Kingdom of Two Sicilies, the Bourbons annoyed her to no end. The Napoleanic wars had them almost overthrown, she and Romano have much to thank England for, Nelson has escoted the Neopolitans and Sicilians to safety.

Italy Brothers
Being merged with Sardinia so suddenly kind of pissed her off, seeing as the economy didn't adapt so easily. She still holds the bombing of Palermo over their heads and was furious with them, most specifically Veneziano.

Mafia
She hates them and is relieved that they don't have as much power as they did back then. She denies the mafia's ever existance, given that they gave her region a bad name. Unemployment in Sicily is higher than in the rest of Italy, and is overall one of the poorest region. To the modern day, Romano and Sicily can relate to a lot after being bullied by the awful organization.
