Appearance
Indonesia has long dark chestnut (but often just said as black) hair, chestnut colored eyes, and a slihgtly tanned skin. Her attire is never certain since she represents the whole Indonesian country in which there are many different cultures and clothing in each territory. The example of this is her appearence in her Javanese kebaya when in one of her Java territories, and her appearence Balinese attire when in one of her Bali territories. Despite her many changes in clothes, her hair only has few variations which consists of a bun, a ponytail, and simply let down and side-swept.

Aside from her cultural appearence, Indonesia is also often seen in her TNI military uniform. Most fans say that she owns a pet komodo which follows her around.

Name Origin
Indonesia derives from the Latin and Greek Indus , and the Greek nèsos, meaning "island".

Personality and Interests
As a contribution to the color white of her flag, Indonesia is a cheerful, warm, naive, and innocent girl who just can't seem to say no to anyone. But as a contribution to the color red of her flag, Indonesia is strong-willed, detirmined, and owns a constantly flaring enthusiasm for sports (especially soccer). Indonesia is extremely proud and she holds her head high, sometimes even too high.

She is still very tied with traditional cultures (ex. No sex before marriage) and is also very religious and knowledgeable about spirits and the spirit world in her country. Indonesia is very trusting, but that causes her to be guillable and easily tricked. When not in her cheerful state, Indonesia is extremely lazy and stubborn.

Indonesia excels in magic such as Indonesian Voodoo and fortune-telling. But she also specializes in pencak silat and a few Chinese martial-arts (Thanks to China). Indonesia loves exploring animals and adventures. Like Australia, she also has a variety of plants and wildlife where she shares his passion for adventure. Indonesia particularily has a high sense of curiousity and somewhat of a short attention span, so she needs to move on to one subject to another before she bores herself.

Indonesia has lots of veriaties of clothing in her wardrobe. That being the cause of the many traditional cultures she has. Indonesia is a talented dancer and singer. She is capable of doing many traditional dances and songs within all her territories. Indonesia is also bilangual. Her languages consists of Indonesian, English, Japanese, Chinese, and occasionally Dutch.

She is crazy about her traditional food and drinks, and she is a big fan of wayang golek, soap operas, and the Mahabarata, Barata Yuda, and Ramayana novel series (Courtesy of India). Indonesia is known to be quite athletic. She is a pro at badminton and a good soccer player.

Malaysia (Alisa Kirkland[?])
Indonesia sees Malaysia as a sibling. In fact, they once lived together in the Majapahit Kingdom. The two argue over many things. Whether it is over land, resources, or cultural claims. But still, they are siblings and they care for each other. Malaysia and Indonesia both share the island of Borneo, with some states belonging to Malaysia and the others to Indonesia. They both became rivals over the years and whenever these two are together, you can expect some wild cat and dog fights.

China (Wang Yao)
China is a big brother figure to Indonesia. He is Indonesia's number one customer when it comes to sea cucumbers and spices. China had developed a caring attitude towards her since he has taught and influenced her with some of his cultures, eventually having Indonesia celebrate some of his festivals and events as well. She loves it when China comes and tells her about his myths and legends, since Indonesia is a sucker for stories. But over the passt years, the two's relationships had grown rather dormant, but they still do care for each other.

Netherlands ([?])
Netherlands took Indonesia under his rule in 1602. He treats her like a maid as she does everything for him in her land. Netherlands forced her to use most of her land to plant sugar canes, tea, and coffee to pay the crop tax. She almost starved to death since she almost didn't have no land at all to plant food for herself. Other than that, Indonesia was also forced to mine for gold, build his buildings, and dig out his secret bases in the mountains. After years of colonization, Netherlands eventually learned to love her. He shared many of his cultures and language with her, which some is still being used by her today. Even with his tolerence toward her over time, Indonesia doesn't seem to catch his gestures of affection and is in fact completely terrified of him, but eventually, he did start to grow on her. In 1942, Indonesia was taken away from him by Japan. After 3 and a half years, Indonesia proclaimed her independence when Japan was forced to surrender. Netherlands came back for her in hopes to reclaim her again, but to no avail. He was forced out of her land with aid from Japan, who was trying to repay his cruelty towards her during his colonization. Netherlands eventually learned to accept Indonesia as her own country in 1949 and the two had stayed close ever since.

Japan (Honda Kiku)
Japan occupied Indonesia in 1942 for 3,5 years in WWII. Japan is a sibling of Indonesia, since both are raised by China. Japan convinced her to leave Netherlands by promising her independence for joining him. As it turns out, Japan's rule over her was far worse than that of Netherlands'. But after Japan's largest city was destroyed, his forces were forced to retreat and Indonesia took the time of empty rule to proclaim her independence in 1945. But after the proclamation, Netherlands had came back for Indonesia and Japan fought alongside her to force Netherlands out of the land as a sign of apology. Since then, they have had a strong relationship with each other.

Australia (Jack Kirkland[?])
A neighbour and a very close friend to Indonesia. Indonesia traded cloth, rice, metals, and spices with him in exchange for sea cucumbers and pearls. The two are known to be best friends and are extremely talkative. She and Aussie secrety have a crush on each other, but they cover it well with their competitive relationahip with each other where he would eventually make bets with her and ask her to do something 'unordinary' (A kiss on the cheek, being a personal maid for a day, etc.) They were separated when the VOC (Netherlands) invaded Indonesia and Australia was colonized by Britain. But after WWII, their relationship had sadly grown more dormant.

America (Alfred F. Jones)
Is also a very close friend of Indonesia. Their diplomatic relationship is very close in economics, politics, and military. Somehow, America had managed to heavily influence her in culture in which case Indonesia drinks sodas and the variations of burgers, hotdogs, and popcorn was added to her menu. Indonesia is a huge fan of his movies. The two have a lot to talk about when it comes to movies and superhero stories. America sees her as a little sister, and they are very protective of each other.

Egypt ([?])
The first country to acknowledged Indonesia as a country.

Ottoman Empire ([?])
They were ingaged in a trade for weapons such as canons and guns in exchange for spices such as cloves, and nutmegs.
