Attributes

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Appearance

Annabelle has short dark brown hair that has a small curl sticking out towards the left. She also has a large hair curl more towards the left that resembels a ram's horn (much like the canon New Zealand). Her eyes are dark green and her skin is lightly tanned. She has small and lean body build. She also has bushy eyebrows like Arthur, she calls them the bane of her exsistance.

She often wears simple but clean clothes, more often than not this consists of a plain t-shirt, a pair of jeans, sneakers, a black scarf and, sometimes, a blue, white and red tri-coloured beret.

During times of war when she is involved she wears the uniform of the Air-Commodore-in-Chief of the Royal New Zealand Air Force. She also wears every medal that can be awarded to a New Zealand soldier, including the Victoria Cross. However, at Gallipoli and Greece, Annabelle would wear the uniform of the New Zealand army.



At the royal wedding, and other events like it, Annabelle wore a strapless satin dress that was an ocean blue colour and that gathered to the left at the waist. Covering the gathers was a midnight blue velvet bow. She also wore white satin gloves, black stockings and black pumps.

Personality and Interests

Despite still being a young nation, Annabelle is very mature and kind and she is very highly respected by the nations that know her well. She is a very loyal nation and has stood by nations that she is very close to at times of war and grief. She doesn't express her emotions very often and puts on a strong face and keeps a 'stiff upper lip'. However, when she does express her emotions, she is known to be very emotional and sometimes 'very scary'. She is also very down-to-earth and rooted and has a rather small ego; she says this is because she isn't noticed often and that she isn't very big. She has also been called 'stubborn' as she sticks by her causes and beliefs and it isn't very likely that she'll back down.

Annabelle is very outdoorsy and athletic and enjoys playing sport, inparticular rugby. Although she also enjoys swimming and soccer.

She also enjoys music and has been called a 'very talented singer', she says that she is very proud of the music that comes out of her country and of the musical talent in her country. She tends to favour Maori waiatas and the haka and she is very good at them.

Food is another one of Annabelle's loves and she is often up for 'any sort of grub, even Arthur's'. She has a food fesitival that she attends if she's able to, which is very often. Annabelle tends to favour fish and chips and 'a good old fashioned Sunday roast dinner' and enjoys them very much.

She is also very punctual and often shows up to meetings and conferences before the other countries.

Name

Annabelle is a French name and it means 'grace and beauty'. Hilary is a reference to Sir Edmund Hilary, a very famous New Zealander and Kirkland obviously comes from Arthur Kirkland, a country Annabelle has long seen as a mother figure.

For a sort time, she was known as 'the hellhole of the Pacific', however, she doesn't like to talk about this time as it is a great source of pain for her.

Relationships

___________________________________________________________________________________________

The Countries

England/UK/Britain (Arthur Kirkland)

Arthur is very much like a mother figure, mother because of how kind and nutureing he was towards her. He took her under his wing and taught her English, cricket and many other English things. When he fed her his food Annabelle said it was 'pretty good', much to Arthur's delight. However, there were times of great tension between the two of them. One of these times was the Maori Land Wars, and the time of the 'hellhole of the Pacific', during these times, there was little if any contact between them. But as time wore on, the two of them became close again. These days, they have a very good relationship and Annabelle admires him greatly.

France (Francis Bonnefoy)

Francis was around a lot when Annabelle was growing up and she saw him as an uncle figure when she was younger. Francis has shown that he cares about her as he openly showed his dissaproval towards Arthur for allowing her to fight in both World Wars, despite her saying it was her choice. After the Rianbow Warrior disaster, Annabelle and Francis became estranged from each other. Thankfully however, the two of them reconciled and they are on better terms now. However, it has been hinted that Annabelle doesn't trust as much as she once did.

The Netherlands

The Netherlands was the first European country to find New Zealand, although this ended very badly as a few Dutch sailors were killed by the natives. These days they have a much better relationship and they sit next to each other at World Meetings.

Australia (Jack Hawke Kirkland)

Jack and Annabelle have a very close sibling relationship. Despite being very competitive with each other they care deeply for each other. They fought at Gallipoli and defended Greece together and both claim to be each other's best friend. However, many countries suspect that Jack's feelings for Annabelle go further than just as best friends. Jack often denies this though.

Canada (Matthew Williams)

Matthew and Annabelle have a very good friendship mostly founded on that the two of them are often forgotten. Matthew and Annabelle often have pleasent chats and it has been hinted that the two of them have very strong feelings for each other. The two of them deny this however.

Greece (Heracles Karpusi)

After helping to defend Greece in WWII, Annabelle and Heracles have become very good friends. They sometimes have naps together and they talk to each other (well, Annabelle talks, Heracles just falls asleep). They honour the men who last their lives for Greece every year.

Turkey (Sadiq Adnan)

Annabelle fought against Sadiq at Gallipoli, now ANZAC Cove, in WWI and neither of them have forgotton that. However, Sadiq respects Annabelle because of how well she fought and how determined she was to win. Annabelle also respects Sadiq for his skill and for winning the battle at Gallipoli.

Germany (Ludwig)

Annabelle and Ludwig do a lot of trading together and they get on a lot better than they did in the two World Wars. However, Annabelle has said that she didn't Germany and that she only fought him because of Arthur. She had congratulated him for trying his best after both World Wars, Annabelle sincerelymeant this although Ludwig was pretty confused. These days, if Ludwig shows up in Wellington they go out and have a drink. Ludwig has much respect for this small yet persistent country.

Military Fiji (Joeli Maikelekelevesi)

Joeli and Annabelle are very much like fire and ice. Annabelle says she despises Joeli and she openly shows her hatered of him by ignoring him, insulting him and even physicaly hurting him. She says that she finds Joeli 'dispicable' as he overthrew his father to gain control of Fiji. Joeli himself often acts lecherously towards Annabelle, which only makes things for him.

Fiji (Sitiveni Maikelekelevesi)

Sitiveni represents the Fiji that was democratic before the military coup. He and Annabelle got along well with each other and Annabelle has often said that she prefers Sitiveni over his son. After the military coup in 2006, Annabelle hasn't seen much of Sitiveni and she is very upset because of this.

Tonga (Toluta'u Faka'osifolau)

Annabelle and Toluta'u are on very good terms with each other and consider themselves as close friends. The two of them enjoy wtaching rugby together and playing against each other. They have good diplomatic relations and are always happy to see each other.

Samoa (Iloai Olopoto)

Iloai is one of the few female friends Annabelle has and the two of them are very close. If Iloai needs to tell the other countries something Annabelle will often volunteer to tell them herself. There is strong feeling of trust between the two of them.

Annabelle highly respected Kate as she made it possible for women in New Zealand to vote and made New Zealand the first country to give women the right to vote. The two of them were close friends and Annabelle admired her greatly.
