Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a fanmade character for the series Hetalia: Axis Powers created by Himaruya Hidekaz. She represents the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka. Alternatively, she is known as  'The Pearl of the Indian Ocean' and as  'The Nation of Smiling People.'

Her human name is Priya De Silva

Appearance
Sri Lanka has long black wavy hair often seen in a single long braid, around her waist, with a mid parting of her bangs and brown eyes. She also wears a red Bindi. For her casual clothing, she usually wears a fitted green belly top, with a matching long skirt, with a purple or red coloured cloth wrapped around it. Her military uniforms differ, depending on what part of the military she is taking part in.

Personality and Interests
She is initially quite timid around strangers, yet she can be very kind and helpful. Sri Lanka tries to be kind to everyone she meets. She has a fondness for curry, coconuts and cricket. She also tends to spend time with the countries she deems close friends.

Sri Lanka enjoys dancing, sparkly dresses and accessories and elephants. When she is feeling especially happy, she will dance. Sri Lanka loves tea and will mostly be seen drinking some in her downtime. She also loves sewing her clothes and she adds sparkly beads or sequins. Sri Lanka is famous around the Indian ocean for its different types of dancing, including her Kandyan, Sabaragamuwa, and Low-Country dancing.

She has a seemingly unlimited supply of coconuts, spices, and tea inside her school bag. Her cricket bat sometimes pops out and when she is bored, she will start practising her swings. She shakes her head when she means yes and when she nods, she means no.

India
While many think of her and India as siblings, their relationship is more that of neighbours. India brought a lot of culture to Sri Lanka but it has now become her nation, similar to Japan's relarelationshiph with China. India has helped Sri Lanka during her civil wars and they are relatively close because of that.

Pakistan
A closer friend than India. In return for Sri Lanka letting him fly through her house during his wars with India, Pakistan supplied her with military supplies and armed forces and helped her during civil wars.

England
Her former boss of sorts. She has a slight underlying grudge against him since colonial times, yet remains seemingly neutral towards him now. However, when she was under his control, she acted meekly and would try not to offend him, fearing that he would punish her with his food or pull her hair.

China
Sri Lanka values the help that China gives her, especially with building ports and other structures, but is sscepticalof why China is so keen on aiding her.

Indonesia
The two have a lot in common which causes them to be friendly with one another. Sri Lanka and Indonesia are usually seen alongside Singapore when they are together. Sri Lanka greatly values her relationship with Indonesia and it seems he feels the same.

Singapore
Much like Indonesia, Sri Lanka greatly values the relationship she has with Singapore. She trades produce with Singapore and trusts him more than most of her friends. She is usually seen in Indonesia as well when she meets with Singapore.

Maldives
The closest, and best, friend to Sri Lanka. The Maldives and Sri Lanka were quick to befriend each other because of their similarities. Both the country's bosses are also on good terms which let them visit more. Sri Lanka shows her care for the Maldives by training the military and trading half of her exports to her. When the two cannot physically be together, they talk over the internet through an underwater cable they built which connects the girls.

Trivia
She has relations with the following countries: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Russia, The U.S.A, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and China. Sri Lanka also has close ties with the member states of the ASEAN.

Sri Lanka owns a lot of jewellery and gems but rarely wears them out casually.
