Senegal

Senegal (セネガル, Senegaru) is an OC for the series Hetalia: Axis Powers and a character in the upcoming fan fiction series Afrotalia. Her human name is Fatoumata N'Diaye, sometimes shortened to Fatou N'Diaye.

Appearance
Senegal has caramel skin, short dark brown hair, and green eyes. Her most common outfit is a sand-colored kaftan tied with a grey belt, and a rose-colored hijab.

Personality and Interests
Senegal is incredibly polite and cheery. She greets her friends by bowing and shouts "as-alamu alaykum" whenever she encounters crowds (both of which are common customs in Senegal)

Senegal has a extreme passion for dance. So much so, that she spends most her free time dancing with her citizens and playing the sabar. When dancing, she usually shakes her hips, which makes her butt bounce in a very Ukraine-like fashion. She usually sashays when walking, and taps her feet when sitting. Senegal is also quite sporty, and loves to wrestle.

France
France captured Senegal after beating up Netherlands, and made her his colony. While under his rule, France tried to make her "more beautiful" by forcing her to speak only French and dressing her up in fancy clothes. Senegal eventually got fed up and declared independence. Her current relationship with France is very ambivalent. But France is very invasive toward Senegal, as he is with all of his former African colonies.

Mali
Senegal and Mali spent a lot of their lives together, once when Senegal was part of the Mali Empire, and again when they were French colonies. Senegal eventually fell in love with Mali, and proposed that they get married after they became independent. Their marriage only lasted a few months, but the two still maintain a close platonic relationship.

Name
Mali's human name is 'Fatoumata N'Diaye. The given name Fatoumata (or Fatou) is common in West Africa, and is derived from the Arabic name Fatima. N'Diaye 'is an incredibly common surname in Senegal, shared by by many celebrities.
