Yogyakarta (Province)

Yogyakarta (ジョグジャカルタ - Jogujakaruta) is a fanmade character in the series Axis Powers: Hetalia. He represents one of the provinces in Java Island, the Special Region of Yogyakarta, and Yogyakarta Sultanate. His human name is Jayantaka Mangkubumi (ジャヤンタカマンクブミ - Jayantakamankubumi).

Appearance
Yogyakarta has a short black hair and a pair of dark-brown eyes. His military clothing is just like North Italy's, but the color's green. His formal clothing is a long-sleeve black shirt and wears a Batik Sarung, with Kawung motif. Sometimes, he uses black t-shirt, black hoodie jacket, and black trousers.

Personality and Interests
His personality really depends on who's he's with. He can be brave, kind, serious, and wise. At other times, he is childish, a crybaby, and is a spoiled boy. But, if he's talking to someone he doesn't like so much, he will use sarcasm a lot. Even so, he almost always uses indirect language and never swears. He likes to help others and always saying "I'm so sorry that I'm bothering you". Just like Japan, he will use at least 10 words to say no. Sometimes, he confuses his friends because of his very indirect words.

He gets a fever easily, due to the fact that the most active volcano in Java aka Mount Merapi is located in his place. Fortunately, since Mount Merapi's eruption isn't very big, he never gets a serious fever, unless in some exception. Even so, it always worries his friends really badly, because they afraid of something like the 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake will happen again.

Between the Javanese provinces, he speaks Krama (Formal) Javanese the most fluently. And he will use Krama Javanese when talking to others, instead of Ngoko (Informal) Javanese. It's really weird for the others, but they start to get used to it. He can write Hanacaraka (the Javanese script), and that amazes the others since there are not many people who can write it. He also can understand the Kawi script, but can't write it.

He has a big interest in philosophical things, and he does a tour guide in his free time. He enjoys explaining the Yogyakarta Philosophical Axis to some tourists and his friends. And he knows the philosophy of everything he sees, such as plants, symbols, etc.
