Germany

**Germany** is a country located in Central Europe who takes the form of a 13-year old boy. He is the deuteragonist of the CS Franchise.

## Appearance

Germany is a fair skinned boy, who has straight light brown hair, with his bangs being divided in two perfect halves, showing a portion of his forehead and covering a part of his eye. His hair is kept short.

His usual outfit consists on a light platinum shirt, covered in its majority by a fluffy, oversized goldenrod sweater that contains his flagacce in the form of an embroidery on the left side. He also wears a pair of bright denim jeans with darker denim decorations sewn on the sides of the top part, the jeans are decorated by a bead chain that holds a ribbon in white, dodger blue and orange red colors at the height of his thigh. His footwear consists on crimson sneakers with a black decoration on the top part, black shoelaces and black ribbons on the tips. During the warm months, he replaces his usual shirt and sweater by a short-sleeved shirt and an oversized vest of the same fashion.

## Personality

Germany is, possibly, one of the kindest people one could meet among the countries. He's a soft-spoken, empathetic and sweet boy who is always thinking about ways to make the world better, always putting others before himself in all possible scenarios. He cares deeply about everyone and has stated many times that his happiness comes from seeing others smile.

Positive feelings such as joy, excitement, happiness and sympathy are a relatively new concept to Germany, so he still has a bit of a hard time processing them or putting them into words, especially with complex actions such as "crying of joy"; however, many around him have assured him that he will be able to understand them in due time, and that he shouldn't worry about describing them, but should just allow himself to experiment them. This goes hand in hand perfectly with the concept of 'taking it easy' many of his friends have been teaching him.

After all, Germany is quite the perfectionist, he likes the feeling of everything being in order mainly for self-reassurance reasons: If everything around him is okay, then he is okay, and if he is okay, then there's nothing to worry about. This perfectionism isn't completely out of the blue, as it is the way Germany's mind found to cope with his past; a terrible past pretty much everyone has heard about, a past he can't escape and can't forgive himself for, a past he sees as an overbearing shadow eternally tormenting him, never letting him forget who he was or what he did. Even the kindest of efforts by his loved ones fail to prevent him from seeing himself as a monster due to this.

## Trivia

* Germany's human name is "Lukas Klein"; as "Lukas" stands from Lucany, an Italian region and "Klein" means little, when translated, his name would mean "Little one from Lucany"
	+ This name was chosen by himself as part of a bet he did with Italy once; the loser would have to rename himself as a region of the winner. In the end, Germany lost and used his rebirth to fulfill the bet. A similar reasoning goes behind his surname "Klein"

* Germany's character is a classical example of a "cinnamon roll", a character that is very kind and sweet but faces more hardship and suffering than they truly deserve.
	+ Comes from the usage of an article headline from 'The Onion' titled 'Beautiful Cinnamon Roll Too Good For This World, Too Pure.' to describe a person or character that is very good but faces a lot of pain in their life
* Germany's magical ability is called "Color your Feelings", and it consists on Germany's capacity of making everyone else feel what he is feeling by creating a wave of different colors that spread along the place.
* Germany has recurring body language, usually when he is standing up. He "shrinks himself" with a hand down and another one closed in a fist, covering his chin
* Germany's favorite food is chocolate chip cookies, especially the ones Switzerland bakes, with peanut butter cookies coming as a close second
* Germany is the son of Prussia, which is the reason he sweetly exclaims "Papa!" every time he is mentioned
* The colors in his jean accessory represent the flags of Berlin and Bavaria, his main caretakers inside of his territory.
* Germany's favorite passtime is building models of all sorts of transports, from planes to cars to trains.
	+ He also enjoys reading all sorts of fairytales as a passtime
* Many traits of Germany's character were inspired by the character Higashi Setsuna from the anime Fresh Pretty Cure!, and his theme color, crimson, was picked as an affectionate wink to Setsuna.
* The design of Germany's shoes is lightly inspired by the theme of the Virtual Youtuber Kureiji Ollie.
* His designated oshi mark is the sparkling heart (💖)
