Description This is a request from my teacher, yes, my teacher, who is using Hetalia to help students learn about geography. Last week she emailed me about a project that she was starting to fill in countries that haven't been Hetalia-ized yet. I was so happy when she told me that she wanted me and my other friend who were in her class two years ago to make a few Hetalia OC's. Since I already had Curacao, Bonaire, and Aruba, those projects were already done.

During vacation, I spent a few hours doing research on European countries. One of my cousins, who lives in Norway, recommended that I should humanize Faroe Islands. I thought it was a great idea and she helped me put together her design

So, bio time

--
*means check character notes at the bottom

Basic Info

Country: Faroe Islands (within the kingdom of Denmark)
Name: Laila Hansen
Language: Faroese, Danish
Age: 16
Birthday: April 25
Height: *5'3
Weight: 100 lbs.
Gender: Female
Love Interest: *Iceland (secretly)
Symbols:
Scarf - Represents the colors of the Faroese flag (red-white-blue cross)
Sheep - Faroe = sheep in Faroese, but in her younger years she was pictured with a bird, because when the island was founded one part was called 'Bird Island' and the other part 'Sheep Island.'
Scar - After the vikings slaughtered most of the Faroese people, this left a great mark on the ethnics of the Faroe Islands - and a mark on her.

Uniform Guide

Normal - Faroe Islands wears a white-red-blue scarf with a dark blue vest overlapping a light blue long-sleeved shirt. She wears jeans below her knee-length white boots and has a black head band with two pigtails.

Chibi - As a chibi, Faroe wore a long white jacket with a hood over gray baggy pants and small black boots. She had messy, short blonde hair, making her look and mistaken as a guy.

Traditional - Faroe Islands wears this dress on rare occasions - it is a red and blue dress. The top is strapped by string and the middle has a black belt. The dress has a red bottom with a blue 'apron' over it and a blue mini-poncho over the top piece.*

Personality and Interests

Faroe is a very cold and shy at the surface, but has a warm and loving personality to her friends. Though she is nice, the only friends she has is Iceland (which is the second closest country to her house) and her sheep. Faroe isolates herself from the rest of the Nordic guys and hates being the center of attention. She is known for killing whales, which tends to make people panic, but Faroe is blinded by her cruelty to them, due to the fact that she has been doing it for so long. (Pilot whale killer D:<) Because most Faroese meals have fish, meat, and potatoes, she doesn't like sweet food. She has a scar

Relationships with Other Countries

Denmark

Denmark and Faroe have a very strange relationship. She doesn't really like how he claimed her island as his but appreciates how he helps her with the economy and everything.

Norway
Norway discovered Faroe Islands - she, like Denmark, feels neutral about him. He took care of her for a long time but after a while she decided to be independent. (There was actually a point in time when a lot of people in Norway went to Faroe Islands for religious freedom and avoid punishment, but eventually people went back to Norway.)

Iceland
Iceland is Faroe's only friend. (Forever alone much? lol) Though she's afraid to admit it, she has a crush on him~ To Iceland, Faroe is just a good friend. The two have worked together recently to solve economic problems (though Denmark does about 80% of the taxes, etc.). One day, Iceland gave Faroe Islands 52 million dollars, because (apparently) he felt woe for her bad money managment. ( I hate using Wikipedia but I couldn't find the original website I saw it on. But if you really want to, it's here: [link] In the economy section~) And whenever she (or any other Faroese people visit, in fact) Iceland discounts prices for all Faroese people (who apparently have to have a Faroese passport.)

England
During WWII, England decided to claim Faroe Islands. Denmark quickly got her back after Germany forced her into joining the Axis. (I guess that's one of the few times she actually thought he was okay )

Character Notes:
Since the average Faroese women is 5'7 and Faroe Islands is a micronation, I had to balance it out. So she is 5'4. (SHORTY.)
I didn't create this character just to pair her up with a canon character. (Yeah, I know this might sound weird, but this is the only Hetalia OC I have paired with a canon character.)
I didn't make the blue-and-red dress her normal clothing like other Faroe Island creators have. Since my cousin who helped me put together this character visited Faroe Islands five times already, she told me about some of the clothing Faroese women wear. the red and blue dress is TRADITIONAL. To put this in words for others - that's like making a Netherlands OC and putting on those pointy white hats, clogs, and black dresses, which is nowhere close to what Dutch people wear.

2 HOURS OF TYPING ARE FINALLY OVER BBY <3 If you read all that, I love you

If you have any suggestions or want to RP with this character, please send me a note. Advice is highly appreciated since I want this character as accurate - yet having stereotypes too - as possible Bedankt~!

Please do not steal, trace, or copy my artwork. I put a lot of time and effort into making FC's and I don't like people spending a few seconds taking them and claiming them as their OC's.

Enjoy my babies ;v;

Oh my gosh! I love this design! I love the silvery/platinum blonde hair and blue eyes, very nordic. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/> I like the way that the scarf is multi purpose. It covers up her scar, represents her flag and represents the climate as the islands are far up north.

One thing. She has only one friend, who she has a crush on. If they eventually get together she'll have no friends. :I

Apart from that, really good. I think if she does have friends, a prime candidate should be Curacao, as they are both your OCs. Anyway, really good job! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/>

Thanks so much for the critique

About the Iceland being her own friend thing - I guess at some point, Norway and Denmark can 'kind of' be her friends. Too bad she's all...

The first people to come to the Faroe Islands were Irish/Scottish, so would she not be influenced by them in anyway? But your OC is amazing, well done!

If you don't mind I'd like to give you a Dane's point of view?

Her Relationship with Denmark is off. On the Faroe Islands People are generally fond of Danes (trust me I've been there multiple times) They're kind and welcoming. In fact they're the only Danish territory that actually VOTED to stay Danish! In other words the only one of our territories who actually like us.
I'm not sure why but this actually offends me.... I may just be over sensitive but... Everybody assumes that my country is such an ass, as if every single Danish Region and Territory hates us. Even cute little Faroe Islands.


Your OC. could really need a bit more work.

(on another note She is really adorable, her hair should be a tad bit darker though)

Sorry for lashing out at you, you just made me really sad.

Leijon-Heart In reply to EllenMZ [2012-11-26 01:40:15 +0000 UTC]

Oh sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. You see, this character's design is a bit older then her newer one XD; ))

And I'm talking about the Hetalia version of Denmark, not the real life.

I'm now not really sure I have cousins living in the islands and they seem rather neutral to Denmark. So now I'm confused...

I didn't mean to hurt your feelings Sorry if I did

People say that my country's a pedophile and a smokes a ton of weed. ;-;

Oh I see, well stereotypes are a bitch to everybody I'm quick to lash out at people mostly beacuse the moment they find out I'm danish, I'm either awesome queen of the north(hetalia fans) or a pathetic alcoholic who speaks with a potato in her mouth (thank you Scandinavian brothers) or a thieving bastard (greenland, actually no, most Greenlanders are neutral to danes) Or the badass viking or the sore butthurt loser who weren't strong enough to hold on to skΓ₯ne and Norway (thank you sweden ... and Kong Christian (you little slut))
I hate most of these Titles however I find it funny when the Norwegians and Swedes taunt me with our number system(favorite number fireoghalvtreds 54)

sorry for being angry, whiny and bitchy... I shouldn't have acted up like that. what would Odin in Valhal not say! I'm addicted to that icon

I haven't exactly been far into the Faroes so I can't say how the rest of the people fell but the ones I've met has been kind and welcoming.

She is so much more adorable than I thought she was going to be .
YES, I DID READ ALL OF THAT LOL.
I WAS ACTUALLY REALLY INTERESTED IN THIS FAROE.
Though, I would kind of like to know if Norway just kind of barely missed her neck and hit where the neck and shoulder combine, or if he made a very shallow laceration behind her ear. -Has been watching too much Deadliest Warrior to be wondering this-

Anyways, nice job, m'wife~

It's more of a scratch beneath her jaw - I myself was cut there once as a little kid (don't even ask lol) and it's been there ever since.
