Personality and Interests
Being the middle child, Ecuador hates to be ignored and will often act out by behaving badly or being loud. Despite his love of attention and compliments, Ecuador has difficulties expressing himself so he often lashes out at those he cares for. he also has very little patience and a quite low boredom threshold, so he tends to abandon tasks he finds tedious, such as chores, despite this he is still very studious and when he sets his mind to something almost nothing can deter him. He also can tend to be very rebellious.

Ecuador loves music and spends a majority of his time out at festivals where there is singing and dancing. Though he is a great cook, he hates taking the time to cook, but very much enjoys sampling new and exotic cuisine and will often be found eating something he had his big brother, Spain, make for him and there is nothing he loves more than chocolate ice cream, and some cola. He loves literature and other artistic pursuits, and he is well known for her traditional style paintings. He loves to play football (soccer), and is quite good, as well as tennis, basketball, and his own form of volleyball. he sometimes sings and dance if the rhythm for him is right.

Ever since not making the FIFA World Cup finals in 2010, Ecuador has taken as much time as possible to practice for the 2014 finals. He has recently reached his highest position ever, number twelve in ranking, in touching distance of the top ten, where his continental rivals, Argentina and Colombia, currently reside.

Though he would never admit it, he is a closet fan of both rugby and bullfighting. Even though he loves all these activities, his favorite thing to do is to study the rare and beautiful flora and fauna of his country.

His biggest kept secret is his extreme interest in and love for pirates. He has always had an affinity for adventure and finds their lifestyle to have been both fascinating and exhilarating. The only one to ever know of his secret fixation on them is Spain and when he found out Ecuador only denied it.

Gran Colombia

Spain
When they were very young Spain took Ecuador and his siblings in and raised them as their big brother figure. He spend some time with Ecuador throughout the years as Ecuador got older. Ecuador, despite hating being controlled, immediately loved having a goofy big brother to dote on him. Even though Spain paid very much of his time with him, Ecuador couldn't stand it when he spent time with anyone else. Soon as Ecuador got older Big Brother España, as he often referred to him, began to spend less and less time with him, in an effort to get his attention he began to rebel, but when that failed to get him anything aside from a punishment, in an attempt to rationalize with himself, he said he didn't need him and could take care of himself, so he decided he would become independent. Despite the grudge he held against him for quite a while, Ecuador eventually warmed back up to his older brother and is often seen hanging around him. When spending time with him he will often say things about how he is doing fine on his own and that he doesn't need him, but will run to him for comfort constantly and is always asking him to play him a song on his guitar to make him feel better.
