Description Ah Himaruya-san... how I love you for clarifying that the other British Isles' siblings do exist, but how my brain also broke when you explained that they're all guys and that England is the youngest. There goes my headcanon of Wales being a girl and the youngest member of the family too.

Anyway, decided to re-design my Wales OC to a guy. Now that 'she' is a 'he', I'm going to have to revise some of the character traits I'd given to my OC prior to finding out Wales is a guy. It's not quite the same having a 'guy' squee over romance novels and being shy around other nations >__>

So, for now, the only things I can think of are:

1) He still has a baby pet dragon called 'Lludd' who seems to be constantly napping whenever he's around. Out of all the family members, Wales is the only one with an affinity towards dragons (and vice versa), so dragons tend to be fond of him.

2) He loves to read fiction novels, especially those of the fantasy genre. He's occasionally curious towards the occult, though no where near as bad as England. Wales does not perform rituals in his basement.

3) Like his brothers, he also has the 'eyes' on him, which means he can see fairy folk and other mystical creatures.

4) He's suffered the longest having to live 'together' with England since the 1200s. In a way, he's probably the brother who is closest to England, but at the same time, he almost wishes that weren't so. Though nowhere near as bad as Scotland and England when it comes to fighting, Wales often disagrees with his younger brother, but those usually result in arguments more than physical fighting.

5) He has an excellent singing voice and perfect pitch, though it irritates him just a little that his older brothers Scotland and Ireland are better than him when it comes to playing musical instruments, especially the harp.

6) He's immensely proud of the fact that he is one of a handful of 'Celtic' nations still in existence. He's also doubly glad that England isn't one of them.

7) He dislikes leeks, but they do make an excellent, non-deadly weapon when he requires the use of physical force to get his brothers' (England, Ireland or Scotland) attention.

8) He met Iceland a long, long time ago - back in the days of when vikings ruled the seas, but it wasn't until recently that he started to interact with the Nordic nation more. They have a joint business venture set up over at Wales' home, a super market chain named 'Iceland' owned by Iceland but ran by Wales. As such, it isn't unusual to find Wales talking 'business' with Iceland, but the majority of the time he's usually asking Iceland if he can borrow some of his 'sagas' to read.

9) In terms of fighting, Wales isn't all that strong, but he doesn't shy away from military responsibilities during times of war and conflict. He might not be headstrong and recklessly brave as Scotland, or as calm and collected on the battlefield as Ireland, nor is he as ambitious and dominating as England; but Wales manages to find a way to get the job done, and that's all that really matters to him.

Okay, so now I feel like I'm creeping on your gallery, but I just saw this and I had to comment. xD

It's freaking me out how similar your headcanon is to mine. I think I totally agree on just about everything--Wales should have been a girl, he has a pet dragon, he loves books revolving around fantasy, he can sing...even he's friends with Iceland. Did you like, write down my thoughts or something?! xD

LOL! Awww, that's awesome that you have a similar headcanon for Wales! I really do hope Himaruya makes him (sadly Wales is a guy *sighs* ) friends with Iceland ~_~ He has to at least give him a pet dragon! I'd be a little miffed if he gives the dragon to England the way he gave Scotland's unicorn to England *__*

Me too, a pet dragon would be awesome. And I never understood why Arthur got the unicorn. It's the Scottish emblem; why would the English man have it...?

I think Himaruya wanted to emphasize England's affinity with fairies and mythical creatures so threw in every mythical creature he could think of - including the unicorn.

I've asked about though, and most English people I've asked admit that they're nowhere near as into fairies and magic as the Celtic nations like Ireland, Wales and Scotland are. I hope when Himaruya FINALLY introduces Scotland and the others, they'll all have their fairy companions too. I kind of want Scotland to have a Kelpie water horse since England already took his unicorn >_>

Makes sense too as it's an imaginary creature associated with Britain in general anyway (besides, of course, actual British people).

He'd better! I think a Kelpie pet would be awesome!

Kelpie as a mythical pet; and Nessie as a real pet... I like how both of Scotland's 'pets' live in lochs XD

Perhaps Scotland is a water-loving guy. ~.~

It suddenly struck me that Norway and Scotland both have a continuous chain of mountains with lakes/lochs in common too. Maybe I'm thinking about it too hard. xP

Well you know, the word 'firth' is derived from the word 'fjord' - which basically means when viking!Norway came over to invade Pictland and take over his land, he saw the many channels of water and called them fjords, which were later renamed firths when Scotland got his land back. It's funny though because Scotland's many firths, including the Pentland Firth (or Pettslandsfjord/Pictland's Fjord as it was known in the viking days) really are NOT fjords! ~Sado-Nishi and I call them Scotland's 'fake-fjords'

Is it really? Then I guess I wasn't far off base, then! But I guess that firths wouldn't really be the same thing as fjords, even if they are similar.

Yush. While Scotland's firths are impressive - as are his lochs - they don't quite fit the criteria to be called a 'fjord' like Norway's fjords. You can think of them as a form of fjord, just not as awesome and beautiful as Norway's ones. I really want to visit Norway some day and sail along one of his fjords

Yeah, I don't think anywhere's quite the same. I'd love to visit either, personally! They both sound so gorgeous and definitely something you can't find in the U.S.
