Phycial Appereance and Clothes
She had long, brown hair that was tied into two low ponytails. Her eyes were large and kind of a soft, hazel nut/amber colour. She also had tanned and soft skin. She wore a dark brown tank top and light green shorts while she walked barefoot. That was before she was found by England.

Then, her hair was tied into a long braid. Her eyes remained the same except that it turned into a darker, muddier brown colour. Her skin and everything else stayed the same. Her wardrobe were then changed into a bunch of pure white and blue dresses.

During the Japanese Occupation, her hair was cut short(due to a prank she pulled on England before). Her clothes were all thrown away and were replaced by red-based kiminos. She found that her skin had turned paler and softer by that time.

In the present, she wears a cropped red tank top with a light-weight grey open jacket over it. She also wears dark-washed demin shorts and pure white ballet flats with beige sockings. She decided to grow her hair back to the original length, around her mid-back and she now lets it loose. Her skin has also gotten tanner and her eyes have been a slightly brighter, redwood brown, with it previously been a Tawny brown.

She's short, her height being 143 cm, for her age. But she says that it's good because she's lighter. The male asian countries also agree because it makes it easier for them to carry her home. She is also very flat-chested. She also usually is seen with wide glasses.

Personality and Likes
She's a fun-love and relaxed person all around. However, she can also be sharp and cunning at times, for example: trying to set her OTPs up. Other than that, she it a country the other countries find hard to hate, even Belarus finds it hard to hate her.

With an high level of maturity for her age, the other countries also find it easy to deal with her without starting a war. The problem is that is a little too relaxed at times and loves to complain and pick at little things. Especially when she finds it unfit, convinent or when she feels dead bored.

Of course, she can also act like a child sometimes. Like when it comes to games or music. It was not like she is like that at all times.

Malaysia
He's not so close with Singapore. They treat each other like siblings, though Singapore sometimes feel too dependent on Malaysia. They had a merger in 1963. Now that she's independent, she feels like she's burdening her neighbour. Singapore relies on her Malaysia for natural recources and water.

China
He acts like an over-protective brother. Since Singapore is just a tiny dot on the world map, China feels the need to protect her with his life. And Singapore takes full advantage of this. Like when England or France apporaches her, she will scream for China and he will be there in a sanp to deal with the proble (e.g; beating up France or scolding England).

Hong Kong
They are very important trade partners with each other since Singapore relies on Hong Kong for majority of her products or everything that is ever made in China.

Japan
She dosen't really like him that much, but due to the rise of otakus, she has to communicate with him a daily basis. To either talk about their bussiness deals or to argue about WWII and who was right. Otherwise, they have a bumpy relationship with it being like a extreme rollercoaster. Alamakmylaksa (talk) 20:37, March 11, 2014 (UTC)(edit by alamalmylaksa) this is actually pretty offensive. "She doesn't like him that much" is inaccurate. The Japanese tortured and killed people including childrena and pregnant people. They killed Chinese people and murdered people just for wearing glasses or those who did not greet them in Japanese. They would rape any young girl they liked. It was absolutely horrific and I don't even want to go into all the details but "argue about WWII"? You need to get your crap together. Seriously. You're just boiling it down into something so passive.

Commonwealth Family 

The commonwealth is like a second family to her. They all have the same things to talk about and although she was reluctant to let England rule over her again, she agreed but he promised to her that she would give her all the freedom she wants. She joined in 1965.

The United States Of America
She likes America in the friendly way, looking up to him and his economy. She even once promised him that if he was to go into debt, she would give him some of her money. Considering their relationship, the Asian countries approve it and sometimes even want them to date. Though, both Singapore and America deny those type of feelings and say that their relationship is purely plationic.

Triva

 * Her independence from Malaysia is the 9th of August
 * Her name (Chole) means ' blooming young green shoot." 'Blooming' realating to the fact that she is only a young country and is still improving.
 * Her Chinese name (Ching Lan) means 'beautiful orchid'. This is a refrence to the fact that the national flower of Singapore, the Vanda Miss Joaquim, is a hybrid orchid and is very beautiful.
 * Her eye colour change depending on what mood she is feeling at the moment.
 * Although she treats everybody as friends, she depises England the most.
 * She is a neat-freak and tries to prevent any mess.
 * People like to make fun of her name, asking what if the Sumatrian Prince saw a pig instead of a lion. Turing her name into 'Babipura'(Pig City) instead of 'Singapura'(Lion City)
 * She and Hong Kong compete over who has the better airport, leaving the other countries alone. So far, Singapore is winning in the argument.
