AU Background: Since this is merely an AU where Canada was female, Canada's basic history never changed. The difference came in how she perceived it and how she personally related to the major players in her time as a nation. Like the male Canada, she was a loner nation for much of her early life. Her only interactions were with the nations who controlled her and they were often in and out of her life in brief flashes. She barely remembers her time with the Dutch and her self-awareness began with France. The woman was her mentor for a long time, the kind but stern mistress of her life. As with many colonies, her relationship with her governing nation was at times strained, but France always held a special place to her. The woman taught to read and write and was a heavy influence for nearly 200 years.
When she was given to England after the Seven Year's War in 1763, her irrational hopes that France would keep her safe forever fell to pieces. What time would do to her relationship with England was done in mere moments with France and although she has reconciled with France in recent years, things were never the same after that time. She often felt betrayed but being closer to England made her closer to America, her neighbor the South. The younger colony seemed to grow as much in less than a hundred years as she herself as grown in two hundred and it was not until another few hundred later that Canada felt them to be equals in age, physically.
The forced closeness with America grew to true fondness, but Canada was not the rebellious sort. When America and her passionate speeches turned into real action and real revolution, Canada shied away. Part of her supported and admired America's bold actions, but she remained unconvinced and pushed America back to her own land time and time again. When America, full of newly won freedom turned north once more, Canada fought back with England, pressing America back into her own land time and time again, trying to talk America out of it and then using force when necessary. She was left with a scar on her heart and in her mind. Canada had trusted America and it had proved to be an awful mistake, even if America's attempts to steal her from British rule had failed. For a long time, she fretted over this, building up defenses against the potential invasion of America. For her, there was times of peace, to grow and prosper and watch the rest of the world with a detached eye and America with a wary one.
