Kosovo (male)

Note: Kosovo is a fan-made character. Kosovo (Косово/Kosovë/Kosova) is a supporting character in the series Hetalia: Axis Powers. He represents the sovereign state of Kosovo, a Balkan country.

His human name is Bajram Krasniqi.

Appearance
Kosovo is a young boy with shoulder length brown, almost black hair that he keeps in a ponytail. Although, he used to have a buzz-cut before and during leaving Yugoslavia. His skin is only a shade or two lighter than his neighbors. And his height is average for his age, around 162cm. He usually has no interesting expression on his face, generally looking angry or disinterested.

He normally wears a podgur for men that has warm colors of orange or red and an off-white, complimented with black pants. He’s sometimes seen with a white Qeleshe, but not often. He has a more casual outfit of a blue sweater and black pants.

Personality
Kosovo is seen as ‘salty’ and (as said by Serbia) ‘disobedient’ for trying to become his own country. He has a high temper, making him prone to getting angry at a lot of countries (some say it’s due to the high Albanian population in his country~). He doesn’t speak to many countries and keeps to himself. Some also see him as someone who gets pushed around a lot due to how much he’s been ruled over, barely being able to get independence. Although being taken over many times, he still keeps buildings in place from these eras as bitter memories of his past. This is especially true with how many of Serbia’s churches are in his backyard still.

Similarly to how people view the country itself, he seems very unpleasant to be around until getting to know him better. He really enjoys spending time with people he loves, making sure to have good alliances to keep himself on 2 feet. Despite this, many just want to brush him off as annoying and act like he doesn't exist. Despite what others think of him, at the end of the day he believes that the only day you shouldn’t be happy is when you’ve died. (Even then, he finds it hard for himself to follow this self made rule due to the disrespect he gets..) He works hard and appreciates that even 1 country supports him.

Albania
Kosovo and Albania keep a very strong relationship, being brother-like countries. They embrace their love for eachother so much that people mistake Kosovo for being one with Albania. He really does look up to him and greatly appreciates how much help he’s gained in becoming independent. Even though he formerly was against it, he generally wouldn’t mind merging with him (though, his main concern is getting annoyed by his loud personality).

Turkey
Turkey and Kosovo have a sort of distant bond. As of late, they’ve tried to help eachother and began healing from the effects of the Ottoman Empire. They’ve got a long way to go but they both hope to be close some day. Their mutual connection is Albania.

America
Similarly to Albania, Kosovo greatly looks up to America. He feels the need to thank any American he sees for the services the country has given him. America doesn’t mind it, even glad that someone would look up to him as the true hero he is. He loves going out and getting coffee with America.

Serbia
The word hate is not a word deep enough to describe his emotions towards Serbia. The allies that Serbia has makes it impossible for Kosovo to be recognized, making him angry. He wishes that he was able to leave Yugoslavia peacefully so that he wouldn’t have to deal with this at all.

Russia and China
Kosovo hates Russia and China with the same rage that he does towards Serbia. They both belittle him often and make him very mad. Although Albania is embarrassed to admit it, Kosovo knows that China used to be friends with him before and sometimes wonders what would have happened if they stayed that way. He heard something similar about Russia but doubts it quite a bit…

Croatia
Croatia and Kosovo get along quite well. Though they don’t talk much, Kosovo appreciates Croatia for being so adamant on insisting that he’s independent. He wishes they could talk more.

Bosnia
Kosovo is able to have some fun with Bosnia and Herzegovina too. It seems a bit hard to believe as Bosnia hasn’t formally recognized Kosovo yet, but he will assure you it’s because of Srpska.

Trivia

 * He’s seen as disputed territory between Albania and Serbia by many.
 * His love for his own country and Albania is strong within, making him very proud of who he’s friends with and his history.
 * He picked up a trait of teasing people from Albania.
 * He’s a devout Muslim, which Serbia also disagrees on. Claiming he’s “Serbian Christian land”. This difference in religion also led to the reason why he wasn’t allowed out of Yugoslavia for so long.
 * He also picked up a trait of farming from Albania, he’s not too excited when having to do it though; he can never get his people to cooperate. But, he does really enjoy baking and cooking, another trait that he got from Albania.
