France

**France** is a country located in Western Europe who takes the form of a 13-year old girl. She is the main protagonist of the CS Franchise.

## Appearance

France is a girl with pale skin and big, round deep sky blue eyes. Her slightly curly hair is brown and reaches her waist; she usually wears it loose, accompanying it with a pink beret that has her heart-shaped flagacce patch stitched to it.

Her outfit consists on a white T-shirt with a hot pink collar, stitches of the same color on the sleeves and a heart and butterfly motif printed on it. Over the shirt, she wears a fluffy cream white coat which she takes off during the warm months. She wears a pink checkered plaid miniskirt that reaches over her knees. Finally, she wears black school shoes with small maroon platforms along with ankle-length socks decorated by pink embroidery as footwear.

## Personality

A general summary of France's personality would be "a kind narcissist"; France has a huge ego that causes her to look down on others many times, and also has a tendency to say she's always right (coincidentally proven more than one time), she ends up qualifying many things of 'dumb' and doesn't even try to hide her judgemental moments.

However, France doesn't let her negative traits get the best of her in the slightest, along with all the previous traits she is also a sweet girl who tries her best not to be a burden to anyone, who cares for those dear to her and for her continent, someone full of interests and curiosity for the world, and most importantly, someone who's literally 'in love with love.' France loves all sorts of things and isn't afraid to show it, from fraternal love for her brothers, love for material goods or nature, love for her friends to romantic love for Germany, she embraces it all.

When matters are less casual and more serious and professional, however, France unleashes a scarily aggressive side of herself that she doesn't show under any other circumstance; her impulses of using intimidation or straight up force become so strong that in order for her not to act on them, it is required that many people calm her down and keep her on check. This side of her is popularly known as "the ghost's return", even if only a handful of her fellow countries know what it means.
