Explanations for personality::

Hospitable/Generous- Based off an Albanian stereotype, i've also noticed how people that have been to Albania say that they are hospitable/generous.

Flirty/open/outgoing- Based off another common Albanian stereotype.

Good cook- Seriously...Look up Albanian cuisine and you'll understand why I have this listed.

Sneaky- Based on sterotypes, as well as how in 1967 when Albania was declared the world's first atheist state, practices of religious activity were banned, but some citizens practiced secreatly.

Her likes include... Music, dancing, cooking, sports, talking, mint, vegetables, lunch (In Albania, lunch is the main meal. It usually consists of gjellë, the main dish of slowly cooked meat, and a salad of fresh vegetables, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, and olives. The salad is dressed with olive oil, vinegar, and salt.), Bread (Bukë[Bread] or Bukë misri[Corn bread] are ever-present on the Albanian table. Hence the Albanian expression "Për të ngrënë bukë" Can literally be translated as "Going to eat bread.".), Dolma (Stuffed pepper with rice and meat.),Tavë kosi(A dish of baked lamb and yogurt.), Byrek (An Albanian vegetable pie; it can also have feta cheese, spinach, cabbage, tomatoes, or meat; it's a layered pie also known as "Pite" or "Pita".), tollumba (Fried dough pieces in syrup.), fruit juice, Albanian wine, soft drinks, football (Also known as soccer, not to be confused with American football.), volleyball, basketball, gymnastics, mythology, poetry, farming, painting, Skënderbeu(The first Albanian epic film, with cooperation with Soviet artists, chronicling the life and fight of Albanian national hero Skanderbeg.)
