Other Distinguishing Features: His eyes are true to the meaning of "The eyes are the portal to ones soul." The shine with a twinkle that can stun some people with the sheer sight of them. And because they are dark they are always mysterious to people that look into his eyes.
Overall Appearance: Being an older nation, you would think that he would look older but China, in fact, looks very young for his age. He has a girlish body that houses gentle curves and a flat torso that makes him look even smaller. Long brown reddish hair flows from his scalp and ends at his petite waist. His semi-dark brown eyes are a startling feel to them once he gazes upon someone, and they show his emotions perfectly making him always unable to lie. The red tint in his eyes and hair contrast with his pale coffee colored skin tone, making the red pop to more life and his skin to look paler than it is. His expression tell you everything you need to know about his personality, from the curve of his brows to the tilt of his chin.

Overall Personality:
Yao is a very confusing character to say the least. He has a very temperamental persona about him, always switching from calm to explosive and loud. Usually he is a caring, mild person that would do anything to better himself and others as he sees fit. His mind is wrapped around order and traditions that have always made his people strive for nothing but the best. And because of this he is a natural leader, his confidence helps him handle things around him with precision. He loves to do things, he's a type of person who is always doing something or the other. Also, he loves his power over people and some few other countries.
While he is a very loving character, Yao also does have his "distaste" for people obvious so there is no confusion about his alliances. He hates people judging him because of his high standards and culture; even though he is a big judge, it's usually for a good reason. He has a strict moral code that never leaves his mind and the first of his priorities is to empower and help his own people and others like them. He can tell who he can trust and who he can not, so many things do not escape his eyes or mind.
In Yao’s head, he is undoubtedly every Asian nation spirits’ big brother; but, sadly, most of them do not see him as their big brother in return. He tries his best to be in charge of the other Asian nation spirits, too, but they never listen to him. Whenever he tries to be the leader of the other Asian nations, he only receives a curt “No thank you.”
He tries his best to stay cheerful and upbeat all of the time, and he usually manages not to show his gloomy side. But he sometimes descends into a deep depression whenever he thinks about all the time he spent isolated from the world and how far technology had advanced without him. Despite his attempts to stay nonchalant, he can be agitated quite easily, especially when his ‘brothers’ and ‘sisters’ deny that he is their older brother or when he is being ordered around by the other nation spirits.
Yao is incredibly prideful. He is set in his ways and he does not plan on changing anytime soon. His pride usually does not make him a jerk, but instead confident and stubborn. Yao often mistakes his pride as honor, though to many other nations there is no difference. His pride can cause him to start wars or believe that he is the reason that some of his siblings are prospering. Though his pride can bring him success in the things he does, it can also lead to his downfall. Often, if he lets his pride get in the way, it will become hard for him to win the war he is fighting in war later.
Yao appreciates all forms of art from literature to dancing. He himself is a great writer, painter, and dancer, but he does not have many chances to show off his talents. He is proud of his artistic abilities, but most of the other countries don't understand how his arts are beautiful.
Concerning religion, Yao would most likely be an Atheist, and he never feels the need to push his ideals onto others. He does not really believe in all of his old myths anymore, but he does find that they are fun stories to tell his ‘little’ siblings. He is, however, extremely superstitious. He follows all of the superstitions he hears, not matter how silly they are. He often asks other nation spirits about their superstitions so he can make sure not to break any of them.
He is an extremely hard worker. It’s not that he does it because he takes pride in his work – although he does—it’s more that he does not want to look back at something and regret that he had not put in a hundred and ten percent of his efforts. Even if he might not be good at something, he will try his best to not shame himself.
When he has to be serious, Yao can be extremely determined and stubborn. He does not enjoy fighting with his fellow nation spirits; but, if he is forced to, he will; but sometimes, if the other nation has picked on him first, he will start a fight to get them back. He will try his best to just help out other countries instead of fighting. He tries his best to avoid getting mixed up with other countries’ battles, but if it involves one of his little brothers or sisters, he will most definitely try to meddle.

You've got it backwards! Backwards!
Hurry up and throw it! If you don't hurry up and throw it, you'll go "boom"!
This was an off day for me and I promise I'll do better but everything else kind of tired me out. This is a small sample of Yao's loneliness because of isolation and untrusting behavior; and also his mood changes upon people.
A ghost of a small smile faded from Yao's face, his mood changing drastically to a shallow depression. His mind had wandered to a place of darkness, loneliness. Ever since this country was born he had always been distant from all the other countries, except for a specific few. His country was always isolated and he found it dismounting how technology had advance... All without him. The Opium Wars had a major toll on him, had him paranoid and secretive. The Opium was a terrible idea, but it promised him so many things. It all backfired.... Horribly. Now, he wished that he'd never even seen that disgusting drug.
He sat up quickly, his hand coming to slap his cheek softly, as if to remind himself to not think of it. As small as the gesture was, it worked and his thinking went back to normal. He looked down, noticing the tea for the first time. His neck turned his head and he peered at a man in the doorway. One of his under-linings, specifically his more senior adviser. A bright smile was on the other man's face, his face glowing with warmth and comfort. It was hard to not smile back, until the man stood straight an bowed.
Yao's lips formed upwards into a respected smile and he nodded to the man. "Thank you kindly, Hui." Hui bowed once more and turned, leaving the room with a smile still upon his fatherly face. "Good-Day, Yao." Yao smile held, him mood transformed to that of warmth and happiness.
Grasping the small bowled tea cup, he brought it to his lips and sipped. The Oolong tea flavored his mouth deliciously, bringing on a wave of satisfaction and peace. He set the cup down softly, making not even the slightest noise. He brought up some papers that littered the desk he sat at.
Now for work..
