Appearance

Cody Karpusi has very messy dark brown hair. She rarely does anything with it and when she does anything with it she often ties it in a low loose ponytail. She has light blue eyes, but that is often debated among the other nations as the color of her eyes range from grey blue to green. She is often seen wearing simple t-shirts, jeans, gloves, boots, a white beret (much like Heracles) and a jacket but she doesn't put her arms through the sleeves very often (again, much like Heracles). For special occasions she'll either tie her hair or straighten it (but that's only for very special occasions like weddings). She'll wear a white flowing Greek dress, silver Roman sandals and a deep purple kimono jacket.

Personality and Interests

Cody is very shy when you fist meet her but when she grows to trust you she'll do anything for you. She loves to read and loves music. Although she may not look like it she is very philosophical and she is a very deep thinker. She has strong opinions and she enjoys having debates. She loves horses and often goes riding. She also loves to act and she does so with great gusto. When it comes to war, she is neutral but supplies weapons and other resources to the feuding countries. She is very secretive and comes off as cold but she really does care. She has very low self-esteem and this stops her from making friends and branching out most of the time. She also a lover of sewing and of fabric and often makes her own clothes.

History

The Discovery of New Atlantis

After Atlantis sunk, Heracles tried to find his younger sister but instead found Cody and her country. Heracles thought that the country was much like Atlantis so he named the country New Atlantis. Heracles took Cody under his wing and cared for her and taught her Greek and about the Greek culture and the Greeks learned how to speak Atlantian and about Atlantian mythology. The two countries started trading and Cody and Heracles became like father and daughter. They loved each other very much and Heracles was the first person Cody grew to fully trust.

Japanese Colonization

Even though the Greeks discovered New Atlantis they never colonized it as they didn't see the need to. This made it easier for the Japanese to claim the country in the 1000s. Japanese language, culture and religion was introduced to the country. Kiku took Cody away from Heracles and raised her as his own despite protests from both Heracles and Cody. Cody resented Kiku for taking her away from Heracles at first but she soon grew to be fasinated by Japanese mythology. The two of them grew warmer towards one another and eventually they grew to trust each other. Shortly after that Japanese was made another official language of New Atlantis.

July 31 1670

On July 31 1670, New Atlantis declared itself an idependent nation and no longer a Japanese colony. Kiku took this very hard but Cody told him she just wanted independence and that she 'can't rely on other nations forever'. It took a while, but the Japanese did acknowledge New Atlantis as an independent nation.

The Invasion of New Atlantis

On September 5 1789, the kingdoms of Prussia, France and Spain allied together to invade New Atlantis and divide it amongst themselves. When Gilbert, Francis and Antonio went to New Atlantis they expected to see a feeble and cowardly army. Instead, they saw a strong army ready to defend its country lead by Cody Karpusi. The three kingdoms faught the island nation for just over a decade, but they were defeated on March 17 1806. Gilbert, Francis and Antonio grew to respect the determined and brave young girl and they soon began trading. Shortly after the trading began, Cody struck up a friendship with Gilbert, Francis and Antonio and she grew to trust them over time.

Trading With China, Taiwan and Turkey

On October 4 1820, New Atlantis signed a treaty with Taiwan and Turkey to begin trading. Cody kept her distance from Sadiq at first due to the stories Heracles used to tell her about Sadiq being a bad person. In the mean time, she grew to be friends with Mei and through her she got to meet Yao and the two of them started trading as well. Over time, Cody grew to trust Sadiq and they have an older brother-little sister relationship and she grew to have an older sister-younger sister relationship with Mei.

America

Cody and Alfred started off as trading partners but they soon fell in love and started 'going steady'. However, Cody left Alfred when she found out he was being unfaithful.

WWI And WWII

During both world wars, Cody kept her country neutral but she supplied weapons and other supplies to both sides. When Mei asked her why she did that she said: "War is a terrible thing, I don't dispute that. But its also a damn good bussiness." It turned out it was a 'damn good bussiness' as New Atlantis's economy did very well during the world wars.

The Treaty With Russia

Shortly before WWI, New Atlantis and Russia signed a treaty saying they would come to each other's aid if they were asked to. Cody's relationship with Ivan started out bussiness-like but they fell in love after Cody left Alfred. The two of them are now 'going steady'.
