CHARACTER
NAME: France | Francis Bonnefoy
CANON: Axis Powers Hetalia
CANON POINT: Modern day
AGE: Appears 26. Dirt though.
BACKGROUND: Wiki

PERSONALITY:

The Tolerable

He's happiest when he's surrounded by people, so he's a very social creature. Some nations are seen as being more secluded, perhaps only getting close to their immediate neighbors. France doesn't know a stranger, whether it be a fellow nation or human. The running theme is that he is brotherly, which fits his warm, somewhat flamboyant nature.

Ex 1: The Statue of Liberty is the ultimate bro-tier gifting.
Ex 2: Multiple nations actually refer to him as 'brother'.


France is generally very open about expressing his opinions but is seen to be quite observant where others are not. A good example of this is the running gag where Canada is often mistaken for America, even by England. France never makes this faux pas and actually shows an appreciation for the finer nuances in his former ward's cinema of all things. +1 Superior Parent Point to France.

When he's not taking on odd jobs to charm tourists and stimulate his economy [ Too Hot. NSFW. Oh My. ] he's being an odd little duck enjoying art galleries, coffee shops, and staring at his reflection in the Seine. Essentially, he was a hipster before it even became a thing. He is a man that is confident in who he is and what he stands for. Does that make him a bit embarrassing and verbose sometimes? That's part of his charm. He's a good storyteller and all too happy to be the one to tell it.

Ex 3: France is patient in how he explains to an inquisitive soldier just what he is. A boat. You're on a boat, motherfucker.

Ex 47a: Lisa was a tourist that France saw and knew was the reincarnation of Jeanne d'Arc. He then made himself her own personal tour guide and historian and threw in a bit of talk on second chances. Brotherly handholding ensues and the fandom sheds gross tears.


Takeaway: He does not shy away from explaining rather philosophical themes of immortality and loss with those willing to listen. He's also a sappy old man.

There is no personality section for France that goes without the mention of how...amorous he is. With how enthusiastic he is, some people could probably find it believable that he falls in love like he's going in and out of a revolving door. I wouldn't push it that far, although he does get charmed quite a bit and lust is definitely motivation enough. France has a reputation for a reason and his approach is quite bold. He's not into machismo behavior however and will respectfully stop trying to get in someone's pants if they tell him they're not interested. Good on you, buddy, respecting the ladies and the gentlemen.


WTF, France?!*

Unless you've known him for a while, France seems to be the lovechild of a Gucci campaign and a Disney prince. He's pretty. He's mysterious.

He's a petty, stubborn, manipulative piece of crap.

Essentially, France is a product of a long history of war and conquest. While other nations do indeed admire his culture – from his arts, language, and cuisine – it's because a long, long time ago he was governed by royalty and you know those dudes had a freaky “I will take over this entire continent” gleam in their eye. He was the Genghis Khan of ballet and tiny, frilly frocks – and if you had frilly frocks before him they certainly were not as beautiful as his. His language is now your language. Your favorite theatrical art is now ballet. Sit down and allow him to tell you the perks of Gothic architecture.

Peddling one's culture does lead to strained relationships and a superiority complex (with a touch of self-loathing, just to taste). While modern-day France seems to be a pretty chill dude making bank off of tourism and wine, he doesn't always maintain the smoothest relationships with his fellow nations.

Ex 81: France vs England: Originally pretty vicious toward one another. Now just viciously critical of one another for the hell of it. Just get a room. In separate hotels.


He can be deeply supportive! He can also complain you under the table. Seriously, one must wonder if Canada got it from his mama with that 3-hour guilt trip he pulled on America that one time. This complaining makes him look incredibly snobbish which he is. His language is the most beautiful. His food is the best. His hair is definitely twenty times better than yours. His character notes say that he's too proud and stubborn to learn English. I like to interpret that as him speaking solely in French if someone has irritated him and now must suffer. To-may-to, to-mah-to...


* Shout out to my boy Paul Taylor for WTF FRANCE which is my jam okay okay.

POWERS/ABILITIES:

Since I messed up and TLDR'd his personality, allow me to just link these

INVENTORY:

1. Pierre is France's pet bird (one of many birds, all named Pierre) that sends his love letters to other nations and perches on his shoulder and otherwise is a pain in the ass.

2. His reading glasses. He's old. He needs a little help.

3. The fanciest moisturizer from his vanity (only it's 20 oz instead of .5 like back home because somebody had mercy on him). Immortal men need moisturizer, right, France?

4. An electric mixer. How is he going to beat anything into stiff peaks without it?

5. A kitchen blow torch. Papa loves a good multitasker.

6. That hideous Paris snuggie. Stylish and comfortable.
MOONBLESSING: Cordis. He's a cat. He's always been a cat.
