Laos (Jeanitha Yodsuwan Phraxai)

Laos (ラオス Raosu) is a fanmade character for the anime and manga Hetalia:Axis Powers. She represents the Lao People's Democratic Republic. Her human name is Jeanitha Phraxai Yodsuwan. Jeanitha means "bringer of happiness," implying her optimistic and humble personality. Phra indicates royalty, and Xai indicates victory. Yodsuwan is Thailand's last name, and was because of the two's close relationship. Laos had Bonnefoy replace Yodsuwan when France was her boss, but she dropped it after gaining independence.

Appearance
Laos has slightly tanned skin due to work in the sun. Her dark hair is usually up in a bun, though she never manages to keep all her hair in one bun. She has brown/black eyes. On the back of her hair, there is a small ahoge shaped like the Lao part of the Mekong River. She has scars from being the most-bombed country in the Vietnam war, but she always hides them.

Her most common outfit consists of a Suea Pat and pants or a skirt, but she does occasionally wear a Suea Pat under a Xout Lao. Though she enjoys wearing high-heels, she tends to more commonly wear shoes that are easy to move or farm in, like sandals.

Laos's Military uniform contains a button down dark green shirt with red and yellow strips on the shoulder. The left sleeve has a seal on top, and she wears a green skirt with it.

Personality and Interests
Laos is portrayed as a rather humble and optimistic character. She is strongly influenced by Buddhist beliefs. Her daily life tends to be quite the toil, causing Laos to not mind hard work. The young chap has been through an awful lot, but she tries not to let it get to her.

Laos is considered a big fan of Lam music, and will dance to any tunes. She enjoys Rhinoceros Beetle fights. Her pet rhinoceros beetle, Thi Kehm (a shortening of the Lao word for strong), has a winning streak. Lao also enjoys a martial art known as Muay Lao.
