Portugal (Luisa Valente Afonso)

(NOTE: I am aware there some official deisgns for a Portugal and another Portugal on this wiki, this is merely my own Portugal. Thank you.)

Appearance
Luisa has light copper brown hair that reaches the middle of her back, she has lightly tanned skin, bright green eyes and a curvy, hourglass body.

In Portugal, appearance means a lot and it shows with Luisa. She wears a white silk bow blouse, a long sleeved light tan coat with all of the buttons undone and it reaches the back of her knees, a black skirt that falls just above her knees, black ballet flats and black sunglasses.

When she's at World Meetings she wears a cap sleeved red dress, brown leather sandals and a green silk scarf tied in her hair with the tails hanging down behind her.

During WWI she wore a grey single breasted tunic coat, grey pants, black flat soled boots and a five pointed star badge on her left breast pocket to show her rank of general and next to it a badge with two crossed sabres to show she was in the cavalry.

Her national costume consits of a white embroided button up shirt, a sleeveless embroided red dress, a red head scarf, white socks and black flat soled shoes.

Personality and Interests
Luisa is a very formal and polite person who is also very serious. Out of her and Antonio, she was the one who took after Afonso the most (Anicent Iberia, their father). She was the most well-behaved and worked hard to gain her father's approval. This personality trait has continued on later in her life, as she often tries to earn the approval of people around her and it has turned her into a 'people pleaser'. In recent years she has tried to 'shake it off', but it often comes back around people she desperately wants to impress such as Arthur or her boss.

Luisa is also very proud and independent as she hates asking for help and doesn't like having help. She will only accept help from people she knows and trusts and even then it isn't very often and very reluctantly. Even during the Pennisular War when she was invaded by Napolean, she didn't ask Arthur for help at all, he just forced her to accept it.

Despite that, Luisa cares deeply for her friends and family (even Antonio) and will do anything for them. She is a very 'mother hen' type figure and she kept constant watch over her colonies when they were still living with her and she was very protective of them (another trait from her father).

In her spare time, Luisa loves to sail out into the ocean. She enjoyed her navigation days and she wishes she could relive them. Becuase of her love for sailing, she has five small yachts. She has great 'sea legs', however, she cannot stand heights. Whenever she is in an airplane she will lie down on the ground and 'think ocean-y thoughts'. Because of this she will only travel by plane to World Meetings.

Arthur (England/UK/Britain)
Arthur is Luisa's oldest friend and there is a strong feeling a trust between them. They tell each other everything and they are each other's confidant and trusted advisor. They are also madly in love with the other. Arthur first fell in love with Luisa during the Spanish Inqusition and Luisa ran to him for protection. Seeing his usually proud and independent best friend like that hurt Arthur and as he looked after her, he fell in love with her. Luisa fell in love with Arthur when the Duke of Wellington liberated Portugal from Spanish rule during the Peninsular War (she also fell in love with the Duke of Wellington at that time). Neither one of them has confessed these feelings to the other as they value their friendship too much (however, Arthur knows Luisa was, and still is, in love with the Duke of Wellington so this also makes him hesitate to confess his feelings to her). They also talk about times back when they were still empires and has colonies. Luisa invites Arthur to go yacthing with her often.
