Delaware

Evan (エヴァン, Evu~an) is my version of the fan-made character Delaware (デラウェア, Derau~Ea) for the anime and manga series: Hetalia. He was born on December 7th. Delaware was the first state to ratified into the Union.

Appearance
Evan has long, frizzy black hair that is usually tied into a messy bun or ponytail. His hair is almost goes down to his waist. He bleached his hair blonde to represent the personification of Sweden more. Evan has multiple scars from the Revolutionary War, the American Civil War, World War I and II, also a scar from the time of the Great Depression, when someone attacked him for food. He's mostly seen wearing a white button-up shirt. Very loose, plain purple tie that has the Swedish flag decorated on it. Plain blue jeans. Purple lace-up shoes or wearing a black button-up shirt. The same purple tie. Plain black jeans and dark purple dress shoes.

For war, he'll wear a violet-red trench coat that goes down to his knees. An arctic blue bow tie on his trench coat that acts as a belt. The bow is also very large and also used as a weapon. Underneath the trench coat, Evan wears a teal blue shirt, pants and elbow-high gloves. His boots are the same color as his bow and are thigh-high. On his boots, he has two medium sized, violet-red bows that can be also used as a weapon. Evan also has a large hammer that he uses as a weapon (I think you already knew that) on his back.

Personality and Interests
Evan is extremely strict and serious. He can be loud at times, like to shut everyone and get their attention, angry, etc. Though he is quiet most of the time. The other states say that he's apathetic because he doesn't seem to care about anyone, no matter who they are or if he knows them or not. The only reason Evan is this way is because no one seemed to care much about him when he was a child. He's thankful for Alfred because at least he tried. But with so many children, Alfred couldn't spend all of his time with him. Alfred also had work so he always put Evan in charge. When Alfred left, Evan always would get picked on and no one would listen to him when he said that they couldn't do something. Sometimes the others would hurt him. When Alfred came home, he would find Evan crying. The others would be punished harshly for it but they never seemed to stop. All because of this, he finds it extremely hard to open up. The only people who have been able to do it is Matthew (Canada), Alfred, Angel (Kansas) and the 5 Nordics (Sweden. Finland, Tino. Denmark, Matthias. Norway, Lukas. Iceland, Emil). But despite all of this, he can be a great brother figure (younger or older) if he wants to be. He only will show his weaknesses if he feels deeply connected to you. Evan will only fight you if you antagonize him, he doesn't like to fight because of the Revolutionary War.

Evan has a pet gray fox named Clemence (クレメンス, Kuremensu). Clemence is either pulling at Berwald's or Matthias's (mostly Matthias's. It's how it shows affection. Clemence also does it with Tino, Emil, Lukas, Matthew, Angel and Alfred) pant leg or nipping at the others to stay away from Evan. Clemence has, at least, four forms. One is a small, harmless and a less intimidating form. The second is a much larger, hurtful, less friendly and much more intimidating form. The third is about a medium sized, flying fox that is more friendly than the fourth. The fourth is about the size of a horse (Evan will usually ride Clemence in this form) and can turn invisible at any time.

Evan loves to listen loud music and sing along with it when alone. He loves archery, playing the nyckelharpa (a traditional Swedish instrument), crocheting scarves, cuddling with Clemence, annoying his siblings and yelling at people in Swedish, likes to 'play fight' with his siblings (I mean they use their weapons to 'play fight' with each other) and hunting animals. He loves nature to run away from his reality and his family. He doesn't like to talk but he'll talk to anyone who persistent enough.

When he was a child, He was often forgotten because of his quiet nature compared to the rest of his siblings. The only person who as quiet as him was Pennsylvania (ペンシルベニア, Penshirubenia) but Pennsylvania didn't really want to talk to him. He tried to be invisible like Pennsylvania to hide any evidence that he was there so he wouldn't get picked on. As he grew older, he realized that people would only take you seriously if you speak loud enough. That's when his personality changed from quiet, friendly, empathic and open to apathetic, can't open up, hostile and kind of loud. Alfred doesn't like the person Evan is now but has accepted the person he is now.

America (Alfred F. Jones)
Evan and Alfred's relationship is pretty stable compared to other relationships that America has with his states. Alfred took care of Evan when no one else did. When Evan needed a shoulder to cry on, he would turn to Alfred. Alfred always listened to Evan when he needed someone to listen rant about work or his siblings. Alfred also cooks something different for Evan when he couldn't eat the things the others were eating. Alfred taught Evan about hunting to release his mind from reality. Evan had seen how depressed and quiet Alfred was during the Great Depression and the Great Recession and he tried to help Alfred. Alfred loves Evan and Evans loves him back. End of story.

Canada (Matthew Williams)
Evan and Matthew have a good relationship. Evan was hesitant to talk to Matthew despite his calm and quiet nature. Evan had heard about how Matthew was able to reduce Alfred down to tears with a 3-hour rant about all of his flaws. Evan was very unhappy to talk to Matthew because of this. "It wasn't Alfred's fault that he has the entire world's languages, religions and cultures all in one place!" Evan had yelled at Matthew when he first talked to him. Matthew was shocked at this and tried to talk to Alfred. Alfred just walked away. So Matthew chased after Evan to tried and talk to him about his brother. It took a little while for Evan to start to warm up with Matthew's constant persistence. After a while, Evan told Matthew about Alfred's ED and about how he wants help to stop it. Evan and Matthew talked about Alfred for an hour straight (or maybe an hour gay). Because of this, Matthew vents about Alfred and how he needs to stop being an idiot and Evan tells Alfred to stop pretending to be clueless. Kumajirou and Clemence like to play when they talk.

Kansas (Angel Køhler)
The other states call Angel and Evan's relationship 'the best relationship in America'. Evan is always around Angel no matter what. Angel has said that he doesn't know why Evan's always around him but he doesn't really mind. No matter how loud Angel gets, Evan enjoys his company. Evan protects Angel from anything that comes his way nor does Evan let anyone near him unless Angel says it's okay.

The Other States
Evan doesn't have a good relationship with any other state other than Kansas. Evan tolerates them but just can't have a good relationship with them. The only other states that have a relationship with Evan similar to Kansas is the other American Nordics (Connecticut, Clementine Steilsson. Tennessee, Empress Väinämöinen. Colorado, Denver Køhler (Yes, I associate Greenland with the Nordics). Philadelphia, Payton Bondevik).

Washington DC (Winter Bresnahan)
They don't talk outside of work but they do enjoy each other's company. Like when Winter's reading and Evan is watching TV or playing chess with Clemence. They do have a pretty good work relationship, with Evan often helping Winter with the states or Richmond.

England (Arthur Kirkland)
Evan and Arthur don't talk much. When they do talk, they usually get into arguments about Alfred (like Arthur not coming to Alfred's birthday because he never loved Alfred. That's what Evan says and Arthur says "That it's not true,". Evan said, "Then, at least, come to his birthday. You'll never love him if you don't come to his birthday," before turning around, ending the conversion). Overall, they don't have a good relationship but Arthur tries to make it right (obviously it's not working).
