When I look into all of your stupid faces
I think how fun it will be to pound them into dust
Hair:Light Blonde
Height and Weight:5’8 150
Other Distinguishing Features:rather pale skin.
Overall Appearance: Sissilla looks very much like her brothers with, long and wavy, very light blonde hair and bright blue eyes. She’s a little on the taller side due to her land-mass at five feet eight and one hundred and fifty pounds. Much of it is actually lean muscle from all the hunting, fishing, and exploring she does. Her face is a little more child-like in appearance, due to a sporadic economic growth and her dependence on Denmark, and her blue eyes are always wide and curious. At first glance she does look a little fragile and harmless at times, but don’t let that convince you because she certainly isn’t. The girl can hold her own just fine against most wildlife and certainly in your average scuffle.

Man up or I'll beat you with my peace prize!
Dislikes: having to be so dependent on Denmark, too warm of weather, soccer regulations (just because she can’t grow grass gosh), being mostly alone all the time,
Strengths: physically fit, can stand very cold temperatures, hunting/fishing
Weaknesses: warm weather does not bode well for her / sunburns super easy, very dependent on Denmark, a little socially awkward at times
Fears: the world warming up too much, becoming independent then failing miserably and having to crawl back
Secrets:Is conflicted on whether she wants independence or not.
Any Quirks/Habits:worries herself into panics often, tends to hide behind her brothers if they are around.
Overall Personality: Sissilla is a tough but slightly innocent not quite nation. She’s spent a lot of time on her own, so she knows quite well how to handle herself. The girl is able to hunt and fish, as well as defend herself from any average threat such as wild animals or slightly hostile humans. Spending so much time alone, she had to find a way to take care of herself after she came into existence. Thus she’s rather self-sufficient in the case of taking care of herself. What she’s far more worried about, is dealing with other countries. She’s had very little contact with most countries, and so is quite nervous when dealing with them most of the time.
Thus, while a little on the quiet side, she’s also rather innocent in her nature. She does sometimes hide behind her brothers if they are there, but if they aren’t she tends to keep to the background. She’s kind of shy most of the time, because other nations make her a little on the nervous side seeing as she spent so much time alone, and thus doesn’t know how to really interact with them too much. Usually she’s rather cheerful though, when she isn’t worrying about if she can handle more independence that is. She worries often too, about if she’s going in the right direction, and if her government is making the right choices. There are lots of things she worries about, but she tries not to let them make her unhappy at least. She tries to look at the positives most of the time, but it doesn’t always works and she often ends up worrying herself over all sorts of things.
