Vatican City

Vatican City is a fanmade character for Hetalia: Axis Powers. He represents the Vatican City State, a landlocked sovereign city-state whose territory consists of a walled enclave in the city of Rome. His human name is Alessandro Giuseppe Cardinal Vargas.

Appearance
Alessandro has dark brown hair and amber eyes, and he has an ahoge on the right side of his head, just like South Italy. In fact, although he used to be located in northern Italy, Alessandro acts more like Romano in the South, aloof and grumpy. But underneath that passive front is a devout Catholic, who is ready to devote his whole life for the Christian faith.

As an ordained bishop and therefore a cardinal of the Catholic Church, he wears the ordinary dress of a cardinal: black cassock with scarlet (red) piping and buttons, scarlet fascia (sash), pectoral cross on a chain, and a scarlet zucchetto.

Personality and Interests
Simply put, Alessandro is the older, holier version of Romano. He acts tough on other countries, but in reality, he just wants a peaceful place where he can pray. During the time of the Borgia popes, he became a sort of a playboy with the women, but when the Borgias were finally removed, he once again became celibate.

It may not seem obvious, but Alessandro likes to dance. He won't tell anyone what kind of dance he likes, though.

Alessandro's nephews. He adores them, cares for them, and tells them that they're the best nephews in the world, but inside his prayer halls, he prays that North would finally "man up," and that South would "stop chasing skirts."

Alessandro and Aurora are good friends, particularly because a saint founded San Marino, but back when he was still the Papal States, he tried to "convince" her to enter his seminary.
