Syria

Syria is a fan-made character in Hetalia-Axis Powers! She represents the Syrian Arab Republic.

Appearence
Syria has long black hair (though it is hidden most of the time because of her Hijab). She has tan-light brown skin and amber colored eyes. She can often be seen wearing fancy earrings even though she is Muslim, as she does not follow Islam strictly. Syria wears a khaki Syrian Army officers unifrom as her outfit, but her causal clothes are typical religous garb. She has a number of scars and gashes from fighting with Isreal, and some from the uprisings in her nation. She also has a diamond shaped birthmark on her shoulder, it represents Damascus

Personality
At first glance, Syria would appear to be a quiet and shy nation, as she usually would not talk much when meeting strangers. But the reality is that Syria is actually quite sociable and talkative. At times she can be rather sweet. She is also very passionate about what she believes in, and can go to extreme's (even violence) to convey her opinions. Because of this she tends to be labeled by others (especially the West, yes I'm looking at you America) as another violent Muslim. Syria can also be quite stubborn and can come off as bitter unintentionaly. When nervous she tends to stutter awfully, and when in a room she tends to look around absent-mindedly which can give the impression that she's staring at you, when she really isn't. Syria also likes weapons and military items, as she's rather fond of missiles, and is always eager to bomb the holy hell out of her enimies.

Relationships
Isreal- Syria hates Isreal with a heated passion. Her troubles with Isreal began when Britain and the UN pushed Palestine out of the way to make a home for him. She once joined up with Egypt and was determined to wipe him off the face of the planet. They have been fighting ever since, and Isreal's many attacks and missle strikes have left scars on Syria.

Turkey- Turkey and Syria's relationship goes all the way back to the 19th century, when the Ottoman Empire invaded and conquered her. At the time, Syria hated him but now things between them have calmed, but their relationship is still strained.

Egypt- Syria considers Egypt to be her ally. She used to have a giant crush on him. Though Egypt considered her more of a little sister, and didn't return the thought. They have an extremly close relationship, Egypt enojoys times with her, but didn't find her as a "crush", and a little sister, more of.

Iran- Iran is often called Syria's closest ally. She used to hate him after he (Iran was known as Persia at the time) conquered he. During the Iraq-Iran war she sided with him in beating up Iraq. As of 2006, they hold military training sessions together.

Jordan- Jordan used to want to invade Syria during the 1920's, which caused Syria to complain to the Arab Leauge about it. Nowaday's, though, the relationship between the two women have much improved.

France- France used to control Syria (and Lebanon) after the Ottoman Empire was dissolved. After Germany lost control of France during WWII, she became independant. Today France considers her a foolish child, as he and America wanted to punish Syria for her violent actions.

America- The relationship between the two of them is tense. America tends to view her as a savage Arab that needs help from an external force, like him. Syria opposed the Iraq war, which sort of pissed America off. Now America believes that she posseses WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction).

Ancient Rome- Rome used to control her and her brother Lebanon until he vanished. She was glad to be released from him, yet she feels a bit bad for being glad that he died.
