Antarctica (Claire Ellsworth)

Antarctica (南極大陸, Nankyokutairiku) is a fan-made character for the anime series, Hetalia: Axis Powers.

She is rarely referred to as Terra Australis (メガラニカ, Megaranika), but often referred to as the South Pole (南極, Nankyoku).

She is given the human name, Claire Ellsworth (クレア エルスウォース, Kurea Erusuwāsu).

Appearance
Because of her continent's landmass and its natural resources, she possesses a very tall height. She has ice/water-blue eyes, very pale skin, layered shoulder-length grey hair with asymmetrical bangs that are swept to the left covering her scar, and a slightly well-endowed chest that symbolizes the Transantarctic Mountains.

As a child, she wears a dark grey cape with a hood that is slightly torn on the ends, her forehead's scar was still fresh and noticeably larger, and her hair was shorter.

She possesses a rather well-toned and curvy figure. She usually wears a dark blue-green trench coat, a long dark-grey scarf, jet-black knickerbockers, and dark-brown boots.

For her alternate attire, she dons a black sweater, black leather gloves, grey knickerbockers, black boots, and a short blue scarf with the Antarctic Treaty Emblem on is loosely tied on her neck.

Personality and Interests
Antarctica has a personality just as cold as her continent's temperature. She never talks a lot, making her a very taciturn and straight individual. She rarely smiles, reflecting her cold and tough demeanor. Fortunately, she has a sweet and affectionate side to her too. She tries her best to make friends with the other countries, no matter how hard the situation may get, albeit she keeps a blank expression on the outside. And likewise, she became very inquisitive about learning the other countries' languages.

She is however unsociable, as she acts very grouchy towards others. Yet, there are some times that she feels gloomy about not having people around her. She has a very mischievous personality, though she keeps it as a secret from the others, this shows that somehow, she has a playful and humorous side.

Nonetheless, she also says that being grouchy can save oneself, even though she keeps the reason to herself. She usually says the interjection "che~tsu" whenever she's bored or frustrated.

It may not look like it, but she has a sweet tooth. She once picked up an éclair from one of France's outlying bases on her continent without him noticing. She thought to herself, it was the best thing she ever tasted. This also shows one of her sensitive sides.

She also has a bit of a laid-back personality and is not very lively; nevertheless, she is also abnormally strong and is very keen towards her surroundings, which helped her adapt to the environment she is in. She is shown to be tomboyish as she uses the masculine term "ore" to refer to herself, and is always preferring her fists to do the work.

She speaks in an Umpaku dialect.
