Ecuador

Ecuador is a fan-made character for the anime and manga series, Hetalia: Axis Powers. Her human name is Corisande Madalena Fernandez Romero. Born the 24th of May, she is the third eldest of the New Granada siblings.

Appearance
Ecuador has short wavy chocolate brown hair and amber eyes. She is most often seen wearing a navy blue blazer with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows, a yellow striped shirt, red skinny jeans, and a pair of black and white oxfords.

Ecuador's choice of uniform consists of a tan military jacket with 3/4-length sleeves, a midnight blue neckbow, brown trousers, and a pair of dark brown tall boots with rounded white cuffs.

She refuses to go anywhere without the chakana pendant, Peru gave her when they were younger.

Personality and Interests
Being the middle child, Ecuador hates to be ignored and will often act out by behaving badly or being loud. Despite her love of attention and compliments, Ecuador has difficulties expressing herself so she often lashes out at those she cares for. She also has very little patience and a quite low boredom threshold, so she tends to abandon tasks she finds tedious, despite this she is still very studious and when she sets her mind to something almost nothing can deter her. She also can tend to be very rebellious.

Ecuador loves music and spends a majority of her time singing and dancing to upbeat songs. Though she is a great cook, she hates taking the time to cook, but very much enjoys sampling new and exotic cuisine and will often be found eating something she had her big brother, Spain, make for her and there is nothing she loves more than chocolate. She loves literature and other artistic pursuits, and she is well known for her traditional style paintings. She loves to play football (soccer), and is quite good, as well as tennis and basketball.

Ever since not making the FIFA World Cup finals in 2010, Ecuador has taken as much time as possible to practice for the 2014 finals. She has recently reached her highest position ever, number twelve in ranking, in touching distance of the top ten, where her continental rivals, Argentina and Colombia, currently reside.

Though she would never admit it, she is a closet fan of both rugby and bullfighting. Even though she loves all these activities, her favorite thing to do is to study the rare and beautiful flora and fauna of her country.

Her biggest kept secret is her extreme interest in and love for pirates. She has always had an affinity for adventure and finds their lifestyle to have been both fascinating and exhilarating. The only one to ever know of her secret fixation on them is Spain and when he found out she nearly died of embarrassment and locked herself in her room for a week.

Spain
When they were very young Spain took Ecuador and her siblings in and raised them as their big brother figure. Ecuador, despite hating being controlled, immediately loved having a goofy big brother to dote on her. Even though Spain paid very much of his time with her, Ecuador couldn't stand it when he spent time with anyone else. Soon as Ecuador got older Big Brother España, as she often referred to him, began to spend less and less time with her, in an effort to get his attention she began to rebel, but when that failed to get her anything aside from a punishment, in an attempt to rationalize with herself she said she didn't need him and could take care of herself, so she decided she would become independent. Despite the grudge she held against him for quite a while, Ecuador eventually warmed back up to her older brother and is often seen hanging around him. When spending time with him she will often say things about how she is doing fine on her own and that she doesn't need him, but will run to him for comfort constantly and is always asking him to play her a song on his guitar.

Colombia
The relationship between Ecuador and Colombia has always been a rocky one and the two of them are known for their many disputes. Many of these disputes end in them not even acknowledging each other's presence for sometime afterwards. They never stay on good terms for very long, because one of them always begins to antagonize the other.

Venezuela
Ecuador has always gotten along with Venezuela, very well. The two have been very close ever since Spain took them in and have only grown closer since. Ecuador always enjoys spending time with Venezuela and the two almost never disagree.

Peru
Ecuador and Peru had initially been very close, but after a small conflict the two spoke to each other less. Even though she tends to tease Peru with her seniority as the older sibling, Ecuador is still quite attached to Peru and will grow very defensive if her younger sibling is ever threatened. Ecuador still has the pendant Peru made for her when they were younger, and treats it as one of her most treasured possessions.

England
Ecuador and England get on wonderfully and can spend hours upon hours simply chatting about the things they have in common, despite this they will randomly start arguing over insignificant details and though these arguments never last long, because the two of them experience trouble communticating with others and are so obstinate, they may sulk for days or even weeks before apologizing. They share similar tastes in literature and music, and even though most people are repelled by it, Ecuador doesn't find anything wrong with England's cooking and in fact enjoys when he cooks. Due to Ecuador's strong belief in magic, spirits, fairies, and various other fantasy-related creatures and her capabilities to see and communicate with these creatures as well as preform some magic herself, the two of them are always going on about their magical friends and different incantations. Although they are great friends, when asked about their friendship they suddenly become red in the face and embarrassedly respond that they are simply aquaintances and they barely even know each other. Ecuador has always harbored a bit of a crush on England, but because of her pride and her issue communicating, she wouldn't even dream of telling him. For now that is.

Sealand
Ecuador had once met Sealand at a world meeting and ever since then the two have grown extremely close and despite the opinions of her fellow nations, Ecuador sees Sealand as one of her best friends. The two of them spend time together doing anything from pulling pranks and playing video games to cooking and taking naps together. Ecuador can almost be like an older sibling to Sealand in the respect that she can be overprotective and that she tends to grow very irritated when anyone is threatens Sealand or is even just rude to him. Ecuador even wants to recognize him as a sovereign nation, but her boss is opposed to the idea. Even so, she promises Sealand that once he's finally recognized she'll be the first to be his ally.

China
Ecuador absolutely adores spending time with China and they have become great friends. Because China finds her so cute he dotes on her and Ecuador loves all of the attention he provides her with. They spend a lot of time together and work together in advances in trade and economics, science and technology, and culture and education. They are both very supportive of each other and are always providing each other with things they need.

India
Although they've only recently become acquainted, India is one of Ecuador's closest friends. They are always striking new partnerships and spending time together. Whether they're doing business or simply hanging out, they always manage to have a great deal of fun.

Australia
Australia and Ecuador share a fairly close relationship. They have been known to bond over their shared love of interesting wildlife. They will often go out on hikes to observe each other's rare flora and fauna, as well as play a few games of rugby together.

America
America and Ecuador have a close friendship based on their similar mutual interests in politics. They have worked together on many things such as; combating cannabis and cocaine, building trade, investments, fostering Ecuador's economic development, and doing business with each other. America also loves to tour Ecuador's home and Ecuador is always happy to show off.

France
They are quite good friends. France had met Ecuador when she was younger, through hanging out with Spain. Ever since they had met France has been quite protective over her and treats her like his own younger sister. He pretends to get very irritated that she is friends with England, but when England's not around, France constantly goes on and on about how cute of a couple they would be. He never misses an opportunity to tease Ecuador about her affections for him.
