She wears a Baju Kurung/Kebaya with a Hibiscus flower on her head to represent the national flower of Malaysia but she'd rather wear a white T-shirt and a pair of black or dark blue 3/4 pants so she can be able to move around more. She always dress to impress when it comes to New Year celebrations and other celebrations.

Personality and Interests
Fun-loving, caring, strict, hot-tempered,cunning, air headed, talktive and patient. Being surrounded by other Asian nations, Malaysia has a varied culture. She takes on different parts of Asia, in food, dress and festivals. She's known to be outspoken, and never hesitating to voice her own opinion. She also tends to use sarcastic phrases a lot, often mocking the words of others. Malaysia likes solving problem in court rather than fighting because she doesn't want to get involved in unnecessary/nonsense fights.

She's very hardworking, especially in her studies, always aiming to reach the top (although she doesn't often reach it because of Japan). She gets disappointed easily, but sets herself new goals just as easily.

She has a love of cooking, often using a variety of plants, spices and ingredients others would not dare to try. With the tropical temperature, her country also provides a large variety of fruits, and is often found eating various fruits such as mangoes, jackfruit, durian and longans.

She also has a love for music. She mostly enjoys playing guitar, but she can play other tradisional instruments as well, since culture and tradition makes up a big part of her.

She has a verbal tic of adding 'lah' or 'mah' to the end of her sentences.

Name
"Maya" in Malay language means "Illusion", Salena in Arabic means "Moon". When she was under the control of England, Arthur named her Alisa Kirkland.

Portugal
She was first raised by Portugal, Malaysia was later handed over to the Dutch, and eventually falling into the hands of England. Due to this, she lost most contact with him, but does not hesitate to greet him if she happens upon him. In Melaka has many Portuguess decendent and has a surname "Fernandes".

Japan
Malaysia is a fan of his anime drawings and his manga but she keeps that a secret from Japan. Nowadays, Japan's car brand, Computers and PC are widely sold in Malaysia.

South Korea
Both Malaysia and South Korea enjoys dancing and singing, more than anything else. Malaysia really enjoys South Korea's music.

England
Malaysia was under the control of England for over 100 years. During this time, she had little control over her own assets, which were almost entirely run by England. He mostly used the Malaysian islands as bases for ships when trading in China.

Due to his excessive control over her land, she grew slightly annoyed at him over the years. Now free from him, she tends to turn a blind eye when seeing him, and enjoys making fun of him behind his back but she was usually caught and end up getting a long lecture from him.

Singapore
Malaysia's "rival". Once part of Malaysia, Singapore eventually separated from her due to a political disagreement. Although Malaysia gets along with Singapore most of the time, they still fight and often have political disputes against each other, forming a slight rivalry. They often just pass it off as sibling-rivalry.

Besides all this, they maintain a friendly relationship in other ways. For example, the share one of the largest trading campaigns in the ASEAN region, and have a shared defense system where they will help each other out if needed.

Indonesia
Another country that Malaysia sees as a sibling. Their languages are somewhat similar to each other, and can converse with one another to a certain extent. They both share the island of Born eo, with some states belonging to Malaysia and the others to Indonesia.

They have arguments over land(Such as Sabah, Sarawak and Sipadan), resources and cultural claims, with Malaysia accusing Indonesia of using objects originating in Malaysia as Indonesian-created items. Today, Indonesia is Malaysia's rival in sport games and PSP games, instead of fighting over land, resources etc.

Philippines
They are shown fight over lands especially Sabah. Phil. never quiet claiming that it is hers because half of Sabah was once hers but England gave it to Malaysia. Philippines and Malaysia has gone to court for 2 times but Phil. still fail to take the place Sabah. But even after fail to achieve Sabah in court for 2 times, Phil. still claim Sabah as Phil.'s. But they are very friendly and close to each other.

Brunei
Even though Brunei is attached to Sarawak and Sabah, they still don't want to join Malaysia. Which made her kinda sad.
