Yugoslavia

Sonja Bosnjak is a fan-made character in the series Axis Powers: Hetalia/Hetalia: Axis Powers. She is the representation of Yugoslavia, most commonly the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY).

Appearance
She has long platinum blond hair that partially hangs over her shoulders, and teal/aqua green eyes. She wears a slate-colored, (originally gray-blue), military uniform, being almost never seen actually wearing the shirt. Instead, she prefers to wear it over her shoulders, seen in a variety of ways. Sonja also wears a black tank-top shirt and black knee-high boots with silver rings around the ankles.

Upon closer inspection, Yugoslavia also wears silver stud earrings in her ears, which are said to protect erogenous zones that lie in her earlobes.

Personality and Interests
Sonja is described as a deep thinker, friendly, yet always having her head in the clouds. Having grown quickly as a nation, she doesn't have much to remember up to being dissolved. On a few rare occasions, she has flashbacks of World War II and the Yugoslav Wars, which put her in a state of paranoia and mild anxiety, as well as a few abandonment issues.

Yugoslavia usually stays neutral in terms of argument unless dragged into the conflict, if which happens, she will defend her friends and allies until the very end. She is usually very friendly toward the other nations, having no desire to make any enemies, though she is known to have a few. She's also known to be a bit cowardly, using methods of "attack-and-run" to win her battles. She seems to be rather laid back when things are calm, sometimes found humming to herself and frequently heard telling others, "don't worry".

Sonja's biggest flaw is procrastination. She waits until the very last moment to do anything, be it important or not. She tends to daydream more about doing things than actually doing them, which brings her to lose her senses of fantasy and reality. In addition, she is also very lazy until something absolutely has to be done. Her hobbies include swimming, sleeping, and writing stories about her time as a nation in World War II or simply things she wishes she could have done in the past. Her speech is sometimes a little strange, as she sometimes leaves demonstrative pronouns, (words like "it", "this", "that", etc.) out of her sentences when she talks.

Yugoslavia's feelings toward France can be described as nothing less than best friendship. She usually thinks of him first when it comes to searching for company, seeming to simply dismiss his perverted nature as a factor.

Another person who Sonja looks at as a close friend. Though England had been the one who wanted her to join in on World War II, she still thinks of him as a good friend rather than a bad one. England, along with France, had been the ones to help her from harassment from Italy's boss in 1927.

During World War II, Russia had grown to become Yugoslavia's closest ally. She takes a lot of inspiration from him, such as with the Yugoslav Partisans and their communist lead. It's also known that Russia was the one to save Yugoslavia in her fight against Germany in 1944. Because of this, she doesn't have a distinct fear of him.

Ludwig (Germany)

The two had always shared a bitter relationship in Yugoslavia's earliest years, having dealt with endless conflict and battles between their bosses. As time had progressed, however, Sonja had started to become rather fond of Ludwig, especially after an award of Friendship of Nations had been given to Yugoslavia's greatest boss, Josip Broz Tito.

Met through Germany, Prussia and Yugoslavia had shared a bitter relationship for a much longer time than that of the one between her and Ludwig. After both had become "dead" nations, however, their relationship softened and they now share a distinct friendship through their similarities as former nations.

During World War II and up to the 1980s, the two had a decent relationship as far as alliances go. It had been noted that Yugoslavia once saved a fleet of 600 American Air Force fliers after they'd been shot down in battle. However, after the Yugoslav Wars had started, their relationship had grown cold. They'd become enemies after America had bombed Belgrade, (Yugoslavia's capital), with NATO forces.

Trivia



 * Yugoslavia's states of being include the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia respectively, though she is most commonly referred to as the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
 * Her birthday corresponds to the date of Yugoslavia's formation, December 1st, 1918.
 * Sonja was designed to be of Serbian heritage. Because of conflict of interest in the countries, a few things do not correspond to Serbian traits. Her surname, Bosnjak, comes from that of Bosnia and Herzegovina while her hair and eye color would be more similar to that of people in Slovenia.
 * In her military status, Yugoslavia was given two different positions she'd taken. The first was a Yugoslav Royal Chetnik. After the breakout of World War II, she had quickly converted to a Partisan to free herself from Axis control.
 * Yugoslavia is also known for her strong connection to some of her national heroes, such as Stjepan Filipović and Josip Broz Tito. This connection can be compared to that of Prussia's relationship to Frederick II.
