Ceuta

Ceuta is a fanmade character for Hetalia: Axis Powers. He represents the Autonomous City of Ceuta, which is located on the Strait of Gibraltar and is bordered by Morocco to its south. His human name is Juan Maximo Teodoro Fernandez Carriedo, and before his annexation by Spain, Desiderius Claudius Cassius.

Appearance
Juan has short brown hair and blue eyes. He wears a brown shirt and shorts, and he has a red kaffiyeh on his head, symbol of the city's Muslim population and to keep his head cool on those veranos muy calientes (very hot summers). He carries a wooden walking stick with him. Although he looks young, he is actually older than either Spain or Portugal since he had been around since the time of Ancient Rome.

Personality and Interests
Juan likes beaches. He can't seem to get enough of it. He constantly builds sand castles on his shores, and he likes throwing pebbles at his neighbors Spain, Portugal, Morocco, and Gibraltar. Morocco claims him as part of his territory, but Spain would have none of it.
