Personality and Interests

But as a contribution to the color red of her flag, Indonesia is strong-willed, detirmined, and owns a constantly flaring enthusiasm for sports (especially soccer). She is still very tied with traditional cultures (ex. No kissing before marriage) and is also very religious and knowledgeable about spirits and the spirit world in her country. Indonesia is very trusting, but that causes her to be guillable and easily tricked. When not in her cheerful state, Indonesia is extremely lazy and stubborn.

Indonesia excels in magic such as Indonesian Voodoo and fortune-telling. But she also specializes in pencak silat and a few Chinese martial-arts (Thanks to China). Indonesia loves exploring animals and adventures. Like Australia, she also has a variety of plants and wildlife where she shares his passion for adventure. Indonesia particularily has a high sense of curiousity and somewhat of a short attention span, so she needs to move on to one subject to another before she bores herself.

Indonesia has lots of veriaties of clothing in her wardrobe. That being the cause of the many traditional cultures she has. Indonesia is a talented dancer and singer. She is capable of doing many traditional dances and songs within all her territories. Indonesia is also bilangual.

Malaysia (Alisa Kirkland[?])
Indonesia sees Malaysia as a sibling. In fact, they are in the same race and once lived together in the Majapahit Kingdom.

They argue over many things; over land, resources and cultural claims. But still, they are siblings and they care for each other. They both share the island of Borneo, with some states belonging to Malaysia and the others to Indonesia. They both became rivals over the past years and fought over land, resources, and other unimportant things.

China (Wang Yao)
China is a big brother figure to Indonesia. They have a strong economic and cultural relationship that goes far back. This relationship also goes for India and other Middle-East countries.

Netherlands ([?])
Netherlands occupied Indonesia (after Portugal and Spain) for 350 years. He was the one who gave her the name "Netherlandsche Indie" or "Hindia Belanda" when translated in Indonesian. Many wars started between them because she wanted freedom. Althought Indonesia proclaimed independence in 1945 (with the help of Japan), he acknowledged Indonesia's freedom in 1949, four years after the actual independence.

Japan (Honda Kiku)
Japan occupied Indonesia in 1942 for 3,5 years in WWII. Japan is a sibling of Indonesia, since both are raised by China. Japan convinced her to leave Netherlands by promising her independence for joining him. As it turns out, Japan's rule over her was far worse than that of Netherlands'. But after Japan's largest city was destroyed, his forces were forced to draw back and Indonesia took the advantage to proclaim her independence in 1945. But after the proclamation, Netherlands came back for Indonesia and Japan fought alongside her to force Netherlands out the land as a sign of apology. Since then, they have had a strong relationship with each other.

Australia (Jack Kirkland[?])
