The Commonwealth of Dominica

Dominica
The Commonwealth of Dominica or just Dominica is a fanmade character for the series Hetalia: Axis Powers. She is the physical representation of the Commonwealth of Dominica which is located in the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean. She is humanly named Janet-Dominique Cross.

Appearance
She has long, tightly curled, sandy blonde hair, representing her beaches, and cerulean blue eyes. Although her hair and eye color are quite contrasting to the inhabitants of her island, she mainly hosts inherited traits from European, Kalinago, African, and possibly other backgrounds. She usually wears a preparatory school girl uniform consisting of a white colored polo and a folded green skirt. She is sometimes seen with a green beret representing the Boiling Lake.

She is one of the tallest nations, not because of the inhabitants on her island, but because of her Kalinago name, Wai‘tu kubuli which translates as "tall is her body" . 

Personality and Interests
During the New World Age, Dominica preferred to isolate herself from other invading nations and would even attack those who tried to colonize her. Until France appeared and claimed the belligerent nation, she remained fierce and unfriendly. Despite this however, she and her neighbors were on good terms in the past and still remain so in the present.

Today, Dominica is a warm-hearted, patient, motherly woman who reaches out to any one in need. During WWII, her island inhabitants opened their homes to Martinique and Guadeloupe in order to protect them while France was seized by Germany.

Mainly interested in nature and natural beauty, Dominica refuses to wear makeup and only keep a eco-friendly lifestyle. She is fascinated by the diverse birds that visit Martinique's island and will often visit just to witness the migrations. Outside of nature, Dominica holds her religion close to her heart and practices it faithfully.

As a pass-time, Dominica will read her scriptures or visit Town and shop for great-tasting English-styled food. When she's not out and about she is on the mountain trails, hiking or sight-seeing. Due to lack of technological access on the island, she doesn't own her own cell-phone, but this is not a disadvantage. Rather than moping about at home watching television, she goes out and stays active in her community and world.

She's mostly afraid of becoming angry.

England
Dominica's father and once colonizer. The two do hold a pretty good relation as far as colony and colonizers go, however Dominica tries to resist becoming too close out of fear of becoming dependent again. When her sister returned, England had done exactly as she feared and became more protective over her than necessary. Nowadays, she tends to avoid him and stretch out to others countries.

Bermuda
Dominica's closest friend whom she considers a "big sister". When they first encountered, Dominica had thought Bermuda was younger until the elder revealed her actual age nearly being three hundred years older. These two usually don't see eye-to-eye on everything, but both care for each others deeply, with Dominica treating the older as if she is the "little sister"

America
Not much is known about their relationship other than Dominica offering to teach medicine to America. While both do appear to be friendly with each other in person, one could say they were like distant siblings, they acknowledge each other, but that's it.

Russia
These two are on friendly terms, that may become even friendlier. Very polite, and yielding to run away in panic, Dominica tries to keep their ties strong, but does her best to find new company in another country. Russia, however, does not seem to mind having a new friend who lives in the Caribbean territory.

China
Dominica considers China as a teacher, as he is resourceful in the start of her island and taught her many of the combative moves she utilizes in her police force. Although they do not interact much in person, Dominica pays deep respect for China and welcomes his opinions whenever she feels they are needed.

France
Although England pretty much raised her, France has the most influence in her life. The two are quite close in relations as Dominica's neighbors, and current states of France, Guadeloupe and Martinique were once protected by her during the Second World War. Unlike England, more France has closer access and is constantly visiting the younger island whenever he can.

Redonda
At first he was mistaken as the feuded territory Isla Aves (Bird Island), and accidentally claimed by the female. Now she is considered the adoptive son she's always wanted. She is quite oblivious to his perverted comments about her physical form, and treats him as if he is a baby who needs constant pampering. It is thought that Redonda doesn't mind this, as his older siblings don't pay him as much attention as he'd like.

Dominican Republic
Because everyone gets these two confused, Dominica has grown a strong rivalry against this innocent island. Republic is actually not aware of this growing grudge against her, and tires to create a positive environment between the two of them. Dominica tries to do the same, until someone confuses her for the Dominican Republic again. It irks her when there is a map or list of countries that the Dominican Republic is either written twice, or her name isn't even on it.

Guadeloupe
Her closest neighbor and friend. At some point Dominica protected her despite having little herself. Even though the two hardly interact, it is clear these two are the best of friends when they are put together.

Martinique
Dominica doesn't know much about her, even though they've been together through everything. They do have a common love for football (soccer).

Canada
Dominica's other "older brother". They have the closest ties out of anyone outside of the Caribbean.

Fanfiction
Dominica has yet to appear in a fanfiction.
