Attributes

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Appearance

Annabelle has short dark brown hair that has a small curl sticking out towards the left. She also has a large hair curl more towards the left that resembels a ram's horn (much like the canon New Zealand). Her eyes are dark green and her skin is lightly tanned. She has small and lean body build.

She often wears simple but clean clothes, more often than not this consists of a plain t-shirt, a pair of jeans, sneakers, a black scarf and, sometimes, a blue, white and red tri-coloured beret.

During times of war when she is involved she wears the uniform of the Air-Commodore-in-Chief of the Royal New Zealand Air Force. She also wears every medal that can be awarded to a New Zealand soldier, including the Victoria Cross. However, at Gallipoli and Greece, Annabelle would wear the uniform of the New Zealand army.



At the royal wedding, and other events like it, Annabelle wore a satin dress that was an ocean blue colour and that gathered to the left at the waist. Covering the gathers was a midnight blue velvet bow. She also wore white satin gloves, black stockings and black pumps.

Personality and Interests

Despite still being a young nation, Annabelle is very mature and kind and she is very highly respected by the nations that know her well. She is a very loyal nation and has stood by nations that she is very close to at times of war and grief. She doesn't express her emotions very often and puts on a strong face and keeps a 'stiff upper lip'. However, when she does express her emotions, she is known to be very emotional and sometimes 'very scary'. She is also very down-to-earth and rooted and has a rather small ego; she says this is because she isn't noticed often and that she isn't very big. She has also been called 'stubborn' as she sticks by her causes and beliefs and it isn't very likely that she'll back down.

Annabelle is very outdoorsy and athletic and enjoys playing sport, inparticular rugby. Although she also enjoys swimming and soccer.

She also enjoys music and has been called a 'very talented singer', she says that she is very proud of the music that comes out of her country and of the musical talent in her country. She tends to favour Maori waiatas and tha haka and she is very good at them.

Food is another one of Annabelle's loves and she is often up for 'any sort of grub, even Arthur's'. She has a food fesitival that she attends if she's able to, which is very often. Annabelle tends to favour fish and chips and 'a good old fashioned Sunday roast dinner' and enjoys them very much.

She is also very punctual and often shows up to meetings and conferences before the other countries.

Name

Annabelle is a French name and it means 'grace and beauty'. Hilary is a reference to Sir Edmund Hilary, a very famous New Zealander and Kirkland obviously comes from Arthur Kirkland, a country Annabelle has long seen as a mother figure.

Annabelle says that before Arthur came along and named her Annabelle and New Zealand she was called Aroha and Aotearoa. And for a sort time, she was known as 'the hellhole of the Pacific', however, she doesn't like to talk about this time as it is a great source of pain for her.

Relationships

___________________________________________________________________________________________

England/UK/Britain (Arthur Kirkland)

Arthur is very much like a mother figure, mother because of how kind and nutureing he was towards her. He took her under his wing and taught her English, cricket and many other English things. When he fed her his food Annabelle said it was 'pretty good', much to Arthur's delight. However, there were times of great tension between the two of them. One of these times was the Maori Land Wars, and the time of the 'hellhole of the Pacific', during these times, there was little if any contact between them. But as time wore on, the two of them became close again. These days, they have a very good relationship and Annabelle admires him greatly.

The Netherlands

The Netherlands was the first European country to find New Zealand, although this ended very badly as a few Dutch sailors were killed by the natives. These days they have a much better relationship and they sit next to each other at World Meetings.

Australia (Jack Hawke Kirkland)

Jack and Annabelle have a very close sibling relationship. Despite being very competitive with each other they care deeply for each other. They fought at Gallipoli and defended Greece together and both claim to be each other's best friend. However, many countries suspect that Jack's feelings for Annabelle go further than just as best friends. Jack often denies this though.

Canada (Matthew Williams)

Matthew and Annabelle have a very good friendship mostly founded on that the two of them are often forgotten. Matthew and Annabelle often have pleasent chats and it has been hinted that the two of them have very strong feelings for each other. The two of them denies this however.
