CHARACTER INFO
Character name: Taiwan
Character journal: bubbleteaqueen
Fandom: Axis Powers Hetalia
Point of Canon: Present time (2011) [Due to Hetalia not having an actual plotline]
Tattoo number: 13288
Appearance: One Two Three
Personality: At first glance, Taiwan appears to be an fashionable and outgoing teenager. Though talkative and easily distracted, she is always polite around strangers and is somewhat incapable of hiding her emotions. Friendly and kind, she never judges people until she had gotten to know them and she will even defend complete strangers who are on a losing side of an argument or situation. Taiwan is a great listener, often giving out bits of advice when she can (but usually she's the one asking for advice). She has a cheerful demeanour despite her awful habit of constantly worrying over trivial matters. One moment, she'll go along with a crazy plan and the next, she'll start getting nervous and wonder about what could go wrong. Despite her cheerfulness and optimism, Taiwan does frown just as often as she smiled. She struggles to be positive in certain situations, but she is determined to change that. Otherwise, Taiwan is a trustworthy, eager to please sort of person. Of course, once people start getting to know her, they can see that there's more to her personality.
Though most people rarely suspect it, Taiwan is capable of being assertive. She's a stubborn girl who refuses to back down, and will always defend her views and friends even if they're wrong. If she realises that she's wrong, she rarely ever admits it. When somebody insults her, Taiwan won't hesitate to retort. In fact, she can be very straightforward to the point where she doesn't realise how insulting or rude it sounds. Though she may have a lot of faith in people, she definitely knows how to fight back when being threatened. Taiwan is also a perfectionist. She can't stand sloppy work, and everything has to go just as planned. She is the sort of person who will work slowly and carefully to make sure that everything is done correctly. In fact, if someone were to ask her what she feared the most, failure would be one of her answers. Taiwan is an overachiever. Thus, her need for perfection and her assertiveness make her appear bossy, though this side of her is rarely shown to strangers.
Taiwan cares a lot for her friends and family. She holds them close to her heart, and in certain cases, she would prioritise them over herself. It can be hard to believe at first when one sees her interact with her family. She is easily annoyed by South Korea and often gets into arguments with China. Without a doubt, she prefers Japan over China due to their history, but still calls him Gege (meaning older brother in Mandarin). Taiwan is close to the rest of the Asian family as well. When interacting with the other nations, she is polite and smiles a lot.
Powers/Abilities: Taiwan is basically the personification of her country and thus she has lived for over a hundred years. An accepted theory is that nations are incapable of dying by normal means, and it appears that they can disappear if their country has been destroyed or has fallen (much like what happened to the Roman Empire). In which case, Taiwan could be considered somewhat immortal.
History: (Considering that Hetalia is a series about anthropomorphic nations, Taiwan's history is the same as the actual country. Even if I were to type out all the facts or just summarise the country's history, I can't be too sure how the historical events affected her.)
Here and here
Journal sample: {Taiwan is having difficulty keeping herself calm. She finds herself near a large fountain in an unknown city, even though just moments ago, she was at a world conference meeting in Berlin. She attempts to take deep breaths, though the shock hasn't worn off yet.}
W-where am I? I could have sworn... th-this doesn't look like the meeting room at all. Where is everyone?
Gege? Korea? Japan? A-anybody? This isn't funny!
{Receiving no response and unable to sense another nation's presence, Taiwan sits down on the ground and tries to stop herself from panicking. Upon hearing the sound of laughing children, she looks up but finds no one there}
What is this place?
Prose sample: It had been a while since Taiwan felt so scared. She had no clue where she was, and she was positive that just a moment ago, she had been sitting in the meeting room and listening to Germany drone on about something. How did she end up here? Maybe she had fallen asleep and was having a bad dream. Taiwan pinched her arm to make sure, but nothing happened. She was still sitting next to the fountain in the middle of some city. It didn't really look like Berlin either. It was then that she noticed the numbers 13288 on her arm. That definitely wasn't there before. She tried to rub the numbers off, but to no avail. It was probably tattooed there, and it reminded Taiwan of the numbers that prisoners sometimes received. The thought didn't comfort her at all and she suddenly wished that she hadn't noticed it.
"Gege? Korea?" She called out, "Japan?"
There was no answer. In fact, she couldn't even sense the presence of another nation. This had never happened before, and Taiwan was becoming even more nervous. Surely this place was in a country. The possibility that there was a landmass without a nation like her was nil, and this alarmed her. No, she had to calm down. Taiwan thought of Japan, and how he would have reacted in a situation like this. Of course, he probably wouldn't panic as much as she did. Instead, he would assess the situation and go around asking people where he was. Then it hit her, there had to be people living here, right? She could ask them for help. Just as she took one final deep breath, she heard the sound of children's laughter. There was something about it that terrified her, as if it was a mocking sort of laughter. She looked around, but there were no children in sight.
"I-it's like a ghost town..." she muttered, unable to stop herself from stuttering. Maybe if she walked around a bit more, she could find some actual people. Taiwan couldn't have been the only one here, right?
Anything else: Nope, I don't think so.
