APH Moscow

Moscow (モスクワ) is a fan character in the series Hetalia: Axis Powers. Her creator gave her the human name of Nastasya Arlovskaya-Braginsky  (ナスト ヤ・アルロフスカヤ・ブラギンスキ, Nast Ya Arurofusukaya-Buraginsuki, Russian: Настасья Арловский-Брагинский).

Appearance
Moscow has short platinum blonde hair and dark blue eyes, closely resembling her mother, Belarus. She usually wears a long purple coat with a light pink bow in her hair. She's been described as 'cute' by her aunt, Ukraine.

In one old sketch her creator made, she appeared in a 'traditional Russian-style' dress, though it was stated that she rarely wore it.



Personality
She is a young, emotionless-seeming young girl, who doesn't speak much, especially to strangers. She rarely smiles, and usually just stares blankly or coldly at those who attempt to talk to her. However, when alone with her family, she is more cheery, and very clingy. Russia commented that she 'just needed to warm up to people'.

Despite her sometimes hostile acting, she never seems to fight for herself, opting to let Russia defend her, however, if someone attacks or insults her family, she will try to fight back, but being a child, she generally does have to rely on her father.

In a bio by her creator it's stated that she likes animals better than people, because they are quieter, and they're not judgemental.

When she was a toddler, Moscow was prone to tantrums (because of the large amount of riots in her early history.).

Despite the many languages spoken across her city, she only knows fluent Belarusian, Russian and English. This is because she is only a child in nation terms and struggles to keep up with the diverse languages of her people. She tried learning Ukrainian with her aunt, but wasn't very good at it.

She likes the colour purple because It reminds her of her mother, (Belarus' dress) and father (Russia's eyes), which makes her feel safe. She also likes sunflowers because they make her feel warm and remind her of her father.

At one point, her creator revealed that Moscow dislikes costumes, stating that she won't 'dress up' except on very special events, where she wears her traditional Russian dress. Otherwise, she prefers dressing practically, or for comfort, mostly in her favourite coat.

Belarus
Moscow is close to her mother and is often seen hugging her tightly, especially when she feels as though Belarus will leave. The two look very similar, and Belarus is very motherly and protective with Moscow.

Russia
She and her father are very close, and he is always the one she runs towards if she feels threatened. However, in a story written but unpublished by Moscow's creator, Russia gets quite upset when he thinks that if something happens to him, his daughter will have to take his place and take the burden of being a nation. He seems saddened about the idea of her growing up at all.

Ukraine
Moscow rarely sees Ukraine, something she resents and would like to change, not really understanding why her aunt won't often come to see her. However, when she sees Ukraine, she is often happy, clinging to her aunt, and hugging her a lot.

Trivia
•Moscow's birthdate does not correspond with any historical date, however the day she was due to be born (in the roleplay in which she was created, 8th of may), is the day Moscow became one of twelve Soviet cities awarded the Hero City title.

•She was born 'late' to symbolize the fact that her creator changed the dates of her mother's pregnancy and Moscow's birth to allow more time to work on the character, and for other unstated reasons too.

•Originally, Moscow was shown with longer hair and more ornate clothing. She was edited after her creator fixed her human age. However, different designs for older Moscow have been shown.



Notice
Please note that this is not intended as a serious OC and is in fact a character from one of my roleplays. Also, I don't mean to be rude but here's a saying my mother taught me, can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all, so please heed that when commenting oki? :) Thanks.
