Romania (Maria Dragomir)

(NOTE: I am aware that there is an official Romania design and that there is another Romania on this site, this is merely my own Romania OC.)

Maria Dragomir is a fanmade character for the anime and manga Hetalia: Axis Powers and she represents Romania.

Appearance
Maria has black hair that is dead straight and it just reaches the top of her back. Her eyes are dark green and are almond shaped. Many people have said that they look very 'sharp and watchful'. Her skin is deathly pale and she has a very willowy body build.

She is usually seen wearing long a sleeved blouse with white lace on the sleeve cuffs, a black leather jacket with the zip undone, a black and red checked miniskirt, a chunky black belt with silver studs, a black lace headband with a black lace bow on it, black tights with lace rose details and black over the knee high heeled boots.

Her military uniform consits of a black jacket that reaches her thighs and has silver buttons that are all done up except for the very top one, a white Victorian-era blouse underneath, a black skirt that reaches her knees and has a split going up the sides for a few inches, a black belt with a silver rectangle buckle, black opaque tights, black shin high leather boots with a high heel, black leather gloves and a black French style beret.

At more formal functions she wears a 'little black dress'. It is pure black that falls just a few inches above her knees, has short cap sleeves and it has a very defined waist. She also wears high heeled black booties with black laces and a black clutch. For acessories she wears a pearl necklace (Homemade) and a black rose brooch (Also homemade).

In the Nekotalia version she is a cat with sleek black fur and she wears a black lace bow on her tail.

In the Nyotalia version, her male self wears white button downs, black blazers, black slacks and black chucks.

Personality and Interests
Maria is often written off as 'creepy' due to Romania's affiliation with vampires. However, when you take the time to get to know Maria she is actually very intelligent and has a 'whip like wit in that it is very quick and often very hurtful'. She is also very curious and often reads about things she is interested in and is curious about. She also very indicisive and often can't be relied open to make a decision and stick to it. But, despite that, is a good and loyal friend.

Another reason why people don't usually get very close to Maria is because she doesn't socialise very often and she is quite shy, this is due to her need for privacy and her resepecting other people's privacy. She also does not trust very easily and she only trusts nations that she has known for a long time. She is also very formal and calls older nations that she resepectes by titles (she uses 'Domnul' for male nations and 'Doamna' for female nations.)

Maria loves dogs. She herself only has five dogs but she loves them all. She often walks her dogs and goes for runs with them. She says that she loves her dogs so much that she would rather spend time with them than with her boss and the other nations. However, she has been known to make exceptions.

Maria loves music. She can play the violin and the piano although she likes the violin the most as she 'doesn't have the patience for the paino'. She loves Romanian composers (of course) but she also likes Tchaikovsky, Litz (Although she'll never tell as he's Hungarian) and Wagner. She has confessed to trying to teach her dogs how to play piano but it hasn't worked (No surprises there).

Maria is very creative and loves making things. She mostly makes jewelry and clothes and she wears them to 'show them off'. She makes her own clothes and jewelry to save money as she isn't very wealthy. She also makes gifts for her friends and she gives her gifts to them at 'very random times'.

Although Maria is very loyal to her friend she can be very unforgiving and she holds grudges for a long time. She still hasn't forgiven Ivan for forcing her king to abdicate and forcing her to become communist.

Name
'Maria' is a female name and it means 'bitter'. This could be a reference to Maria's unforgiving nature, it could also be a small reference to Queen Marie of Romania, a woman whom Maria greatly admired. 'Dragomir' is a Romanian last name and 'Drago' means 'precious, peaceful' in Slavic.

Hungary (Elizabeta Hedervary)
Maria and Elizabeta don't get along very well due to their anicent conflict over Transvania. However, things have gotten better between them as Elizabeta helped Maria get into the EU, which Maria appreciates. However, They still annoy each other from time to time.

Austria (Roderich Edelstein)
Roderich was the first person to recognise Maria's independence from Sadiq and they had good relations until Romania declared war against Austria-Hungary during World War One. Afterwards relations were resumed but were again suspended due to Asutria being annexed by Germany. Today, the two of them get along very well despite their differing relationships with Elizabeta.

Greece (Heracles Karpusi)
Maria and Heracles get along extremely well and they are like brother and sister. They 'grew up together' when they were both part of the Ottoman Empire and they still stayed in touch and stayed close after they became independent. However, they stopped seeing each other when Romania became a member of the Soviet Union and was forced to become communist. They regained their closeness afterwards and Heracles is very protective of Maria.
