facts!

• The necklace she wears is a shark tooth, which she... ripped out of a shark's mouth herself.
• As she gets drunk, her accent becomes steadily more British. No, she's not legal, but hey, she does it anyway.
• Some of her personality is inherited from the English that sailed over, and the convicts they brought with them; originally, she was a serene and peaceful spirit of the land.
• She has a thing for excessively flashy shows. Especially fireworks.
• She didn't conform to Christianity like England ordered her to; she pretended to, of course, but to date, she still believes in Aboriginal Australian mythology.
• She can speak and understand a wide range of languages - mostly only very simple, tourist-level phrases, though - but is dreadful at reading/writing in them. She's most fluent (which still means a bare minimum of important phrases) in Japanese, German, French and Italian, and she speaks passable Mandarin.
• She's very easily influenced, particularly when it comes to England and America. Unfortunately, they tend to tell her completely opposite things, so she gets kind of muddled.
• The nations she considers her immediate "family" are England, America and Canada - her father and two brothers, respectively. She's quite convinced at this point that Portugal should be considered her mother (or her second father, at least) and just considers everyone else her family in an indirect way.
