Zion

Zion (シオン Shion) is a fanmade character for the anime/web comic Hetalia. He represents the Jewish People. Zion's country name shouldn't be confused with the hill that Jerusalem was built on, although all art that has a flag in it with him as well has Jerusalem's flag. His country name is actually after the Zionist movement. His human name is Zoher Avi Cochav, meaning "Shining Fatherly Star" in Hebrew.

Appearance
Zion appears to have short, dark brown hair with awkward bangs. Due to religious reasons, he always wears a kippa with the Israeli flag. Though he often wears a green uniform, he also wears other outfits. Most commonly worn is a striped polo t-shirt and jeans. He is shown to have a formal and conservative style, never wearing tank tops in public. He has cocoa brown eyes and fair skin with a slight tan.

Personality
Zion is a tsundere. He uses a tough face that never seems to smile or cry to mask all his emotions and pain. Although an exception is made for his little sister, Israel, who is his entire world. Although he doesn't realize it, he is selfless, although this trait isn't put to use often, seeing as though many of the other countries dislike him quite a lot. He's brave and is a strong warrior, much like his older sister Judea, and he has a big sense of morality, although he isn't very empathetic.

Though Zion is only borderline orthodox, he keeps many Jewish traditions Israel doesn't, such as no electronics on Shabbat and keeping kosher. It irks him every time his sister disobeys those customs. He treasures his religion and following virtues.
