The City Of London

The City Of London is a fanmade character of the series Hetalia: Axis Powers. She is a district of London, capital city of England, UK. She has a square mile of land within London and a whole other government. She is the oldest part of London, dating back to the Roman era and some traditions dating back to medieval times.

Her city is where the majority of financial trade is taken place in the United Kingdom, however She has a small population of 8,000. She is the workplace of many people and although some may not live there the streets can be filled with more that 300,000 workers and people.

The city has it's own police force (The City of london Police) and Mayor (The Lord Mayor of London) who wears a very swanky hat and sash.



Personality
Although her city is fancy and very well established, she is a punk kind of girl, she loves anarchy although usually she's too scared to really do anything she says she will. She loves to rebel against England and hates to admit when he's right.

Her past times are generally sitting around and being lazy or calculating her income, she also knits and drinks large quantities of all kinds of tea, her favourite being earl grey with one sugar. When she gets drunk (usually after one too many gin and tonics) she will storm out of England's house, claiming she is going to go 'Mess with the pigs', a common phrase meaning to mess with the police. In reality, she takes herself to a farm or petting zoo and plays around with the piglets.

She loves to bother England, however she gladly eats and even compliments his cooking. She will help cook and mainly burn the food they make but somehow always manages to get her favourite food right, that being Toad in a Hole (Pastry that has dips in it for sausages to fit, best served with gravy and mashed potatos).

She's a fun character and owns a bearded dragon called Tom who usually sits on her shoulder and watches her deal with money and watch TV, his tank has a large anarchy symbol painted on the inside and despite generally being taken out of his tank for long periods of time he manages to stay warm even in the bipolar british weather.



Appearance
London isn't unlike England in appearance, she has dark green eyes and her hair is dyed mainly black with red, acid green and even white highlights, it is spiked to one side and the other side is red, short and usually gelled against her head, she is still debating weather to completely shave that side of her head.

She generally wears a black, baggy tank top the the Anarchy symbol on the chest, along with a red arm band with her 'street name', "LuciD" (Showing her Human name, Lucidia) to hide a deep scar left after the German's attack on her city. She wears black leather shorts and black and red long socks that go up to the middle of her thighs with a pair of large army boots. During cold weather she wears a large baggy camo jacket.

She also wears one fingerless leather glove on her right hand and a netted arm band that goes from the top of her arm to her elbow. On occasions she will wear a leg brace on her right leg instead of her black long sock as her leg is damaged, she says it isn't always a problem so it's not always on. Her sock hides the screws that hold the leg brace in place.

On her back she hides some truely awful burns from the Blitz, they are dented and painful so she will keep contact with people to a minimum, such as shaking hands. Other burns up her legs and hips are from the great fire of London, they are equally as painful but less sensitive.

Most of her scars are from the Blitz and the great fire of London.

Breif History
The City of London is the site of the Roman city Londinium, the remains of the wall that seperated Londinium to the rest of the country are on display at the museum of London.

The city contains many churches designed by Christopher Wren including St Paul's catherdal. It was also the site of the great fire of London, 1666.

During World War II the city of London was a main target of the Blitz, on sunday 29th of December the city lost 19 churches, 16 of which designed by Christopher Wren after the great fire of London. However, St Paul's Cathedral survived the attack, unfortunately a bomb pierced the dome of the cathedral leaving the high alter in utter ruin. The whole city was in flames. Out of the 34 guild halls, 31 were decimated. And when Paternoster Row, centre of London’s publishing industry, was destroyed, around 5 million books were lost.

The city was left in tatters, somehow, many of the main business streets had limited damage, the Bank of England and the stock market were not hit.

After the attack, Lucidia was left badly burned, damaged and never truely got over the attack, it is the cause of her punk behaviour to attempt to hide the scars she holds.

Relationships
England

She has a very close relationship with England, they will sometimes cook togther or sit in England's house of London's apartment, drinking tea and reading. As close as they are they rarely ever talk, generally they apperciate eachother's company. However when she gets board, London will attempt to bother England. This usually consists of burning bras and threataning anarchy and sometimes threats to become a seperate country, mainly though, she will put her pet bearded dragon on his head while he reads.

Scottland

London trades with Scottland on a regular basis, they are not friendly but certainly don't hate eachother. It's rare but sometimes they will give eachother a smile, their usual greeting being a simple nod, a tired grunt (as their trade often takes place early in the morning) and the signing of a form of some sort.

Germany

Again, She trades with Germany regularly also, but they engadge in far more conversation. London is fond of Germany's beer and culture, she enjoys hearing about how her own has imprinted his history. When they meet there is always some memory of the Blitz returning although London has forgiven him, the scars remain.
