Isola di Poveglia

Isola di Poveglia (イソラ・ディ・ポヴェリア Isora di Poveria) is a fan-character for Hetalia: Axis Powers. He represents the infamous Isola di Poveglia, a small island in the Lido currently owned by the Italian state and is known for being haunted. His human name is Fortunato Pratti. (フォルトゥナート・プラッチ Forutunato Purachi).

He was created by Manu d'Souza, a.k.a FreakInBlueMustaches (http://freakinbluemustaches.deviantart.com/ )

Appearence
Fortunato is a young man who seems to be about Italy's age. He has a fair skin complexion and dark green eyes. His hair is dark brown, smooth at the roots and curls up as it goes to the tips, and he has two hairstems on the top of his head, whose function is believed to be the same as Italy's curl. He has a beauty mark on the left side of his upper lip, and a small scar on his right cheek.

He uses a black priest robe, a white fabric tied around his hips as a belt, black leather boots and a silver cross pendant. He has his left ear pierced with several black hoop earrings. He  also owns a white plague doctor mask and a cane which can turn into a war scythe, usually hidden inside of his robe.

Personality and Interests
Poveglia is a quiet and extremely shy character, with several phobias and that freaks out very easily when exposed to new situations. Although he is actually a very nice and caring person, he doesn't know how to socialize, so he's always stuck on his room unless Italy or Seborga are around to make him feel comfortable. You can find him easily, either wandering around the corners with a black cloud of negative thoughts above him, or inside the church studying and hiding from the social contact as much as he can.

He loves taking care of birds, sea shells, reading, playing guitar, singing and studying.

Italy
Italy is Poveglia's older cousin, and one of his childhood best friends. Poveglia admires him verily, despite Italy's incompetence and cowardice, and someday wishes to be cheery and bubbly as him. Italy seems to like him back, only disliking when Poveglia locks himself away on his room, or when his black cloud of negative thoughts start making black stains on his house's wall.

Romano
Unlike Italy, whom he has a friendly relationship, Poveglia seems to dislike Romano, a lot. He never specified his reasons publicly, but the most obvious ones are Romano's hot temper and foul language, which bothers Poveglia. Poveglia also seems to preffer Spain's tomatoes other than Romano's, which bothers him even further.

Seborga
Poveglia is rather fond of Seborga, and he likes him by his cheery behavior. However, Seborga is rather afraid of Poveglia, and seems to avoid him very often, which makes Poveglia wonder "what he's done of wrong".

Russia
Poveglia is one of the very few country entities (if not the only one) that doesn't fear Russia, but actually enjoys his company. Poveglia admires on how big his country is, and also admires his friendly personality, even though most persons doesn't agree with him, including his own family. Rumour has it that they get along due to having similar negative auras, thus resulting on a positive and friendly aura around them (Algebra logic of "Negative + Negative = Positive")

Grandpa Rome
Although he wasn't the favorite out of the Italians - and he was aware of that. -, he was still beloved by Grandpa Rome. who'd often play with him and help him with the Church on his free-times. He learned how to fight with swords with Grandpa Rome's help, and he got his silver cross from him as well.

Trivia

 * Poveglia's human name, Fortunato, means "blessed" and was given by Grandpa Rome. However, on the present days, it is considered more of a cruel joke other than anything else. Pratti is a common Italian surname.
 * In his early development, Poveglia was supposed to have a psychopat temper, white-grayish eyes and he would use a topper in his outfit. But he soon was changed as he looked much more of a villian than a regular character.
 * He is diagnosed with General Anxiety Disturb, and his main phobias are Arsonphobia (fear of fire), Hypochondriasis (extreme health care), Agoraphobia (fear of crowds) and Anthropophobia (fear of society).
 * His mask, while it was verily used in the days of Plague, is now useless and Poveglia only keeps it because he likes to scare others with it.
 * Unlike the other Italians, Poveglia does not have an Italian accent when speaking English.
