The Character
Country Name:
Republic of Belarus - Belarus
Human Name:
Natalya Arlovskaya
Gender:
Female
Appearance:
An easy way to describe her physique is "ice princess." Her long, platinum blonde hair is adorned with a white bow, her dark blue eyes almost violet, always containing a rather serious glare or scowl. Her eyes are like daggers, striking those who are in her line of sight. When calm and uninterrupted, her eyes are just tranquil twin sapphires, mesmerizing to gaze into. Though people have rarely been able to gaze into such eyes. It just isn't recommended. Her eyes would also sometimes contain a questioning, inquisitive look, or a forlorn, distant, crestfallen... with a touch of sadness and realism. Her features seem sculpted to perfection, her nose slightly pointed, not as large as her older brother's, and everything about her just feminine, curves in the right places. She is just delicacy.
She is average sized with height, maybe a little tall. It is sure that she is taller than her older sister, Ukraine. Though her bust isn't as gifted and heavy as her sister's, it is sizable enough. Her build is thin, like a dainty ballerina figurine, though it would be incorrect to think of her as harmless. Her dainty hands are skilled with knives. She has strength to be able to knock down doors, but really, that is only when she is under the influence of determination. Her strength is perhaps less than her farm-worked sister, most of her danger lying in her sharp aim and coordination. Her skin has rarely seen the working sun, used to the cold weather and snow, so you can compare her skin to alabaster.
She dons a dark purple, long-sleeved dress with a white waist apron, the ribbon tying it to the dress striped fashionably. This dress was given to her by her brother, and she treasures it, taking great pains to keep it clean, easily bloodying her hands than bloodying the dress. She wears black stockings and shoes to keep warm. Her hands are gloved in black.
Though this is perhaps something that probably won't go into appearance, she often has a knife in her hand. Light enough to throw, but heavy enough to cause damage in hand-to-hand combat. She has several knives on her at all times. Which includes in her garters. Her garters strap to her thighs two large knives. In her sleeves, she usually is able to have one or two knives per arm ready to use for attack (especially since it's a bit awkward to reach up into your skirt to retrieve a knife). Even her apron conceals quite an arsenal of knives. She will not state how many knives she has on her. Though the knife count isn't unlimited, she will easily find a way to conceal more knives if she needed to replenish her knife supply. But let's just say there's quite a few knives in there. And especially in a dangerous situation, she will often have at least one in her right hand.
Personality:
Even the term "ice princess" can describe her personality. She rarely smiles, she rarely warms up to people, she leaves you feeling cold. Only things worthy of her smile will be given that smile. Which means only her brother. She is intimidating and harsh, radiating a hostile atmosphere wherever she goes. But of course, the reason for this is because her outlook on the world is a rather bleak one, where everything around her is plain evil and corrupt. She carries a scowl, glare, or just a serious face because of this. However, despite this depressing outlook on life, she has a strong heart and an equally strong will, willing to protect whoever she cares for, willing to lay down her life for that person, not giving up, needing to see things through. Unfortunately, she only cares for her brother, and maybe her sister just a tad bit. Her strong heart and will perhaps be her survival. Her loneliness was perhaps the aspect that gave her that harsh outlook on life.
Even with her ice princess demeanor, she is quick to temper, quick to become frustrated. If it concerns her brother, she will easily resort to temper, but other than that, she is mainly asocial. Every compliment will be returned with an insult, or something along the lines of calling the person insolent or stupid. She sees many of the people around her as stupid, problematic, and she must stay out of their business in order not to trouble herself.
She had once been a nice, sweet girl, but the troubles of war had cracked her deeply. It was only once she decided she needed to become one with Russia was when she had truly cracked and became violent and destructive in nature, but of course, that only happens when she dubs necessary. She doesn't go far, either. Most of her damage is through intimidation. Most of her damage is psychological. If you can get past the intimidation and hostility, you may, just may, be worthy of comeradeship. Her knives are for defense, mainly. She won't torture you and not sink so... low. Her view on humanity is already bleak enough, but she sees herself as above it.
She can be kind. Those golden days, when she was once kind, sweet... she misses those happier times when blood was shed as often as a person flushed the toilet. Her kindness only extends to those she cares about, namely her brother. She can tolerate her sister. She is only slightly sadistic.
She can be a bit spacey, not in the stupid way, but as if she were seeing into another world (see reason in abilities section). She is an independent woman who dislikes incompetent leadership, will respect competent leaders, and dislikes being bossed around in general. She would be an effective leader, and would be blunt and straight to the point. Her sense of humor is a bit dark, or just questionable. The questionable part is probably prank calling Lithuania and just being a bit harsh to Poland.
In her loneliness, she tends to think of lamentation and melancholy. Really, she just doesn't want to be alone. Even if she says she doesn't fear death, she fears it alright. She fears it, but even more, she fears dying alone.
Weapon:
Knives. What else? She isn't known for her unarmed combat. So knives of various sizes will have to do.
Abilities:
These are derived from Belarus's Personality section on the Hetalia Wikinet, which clarifies her sight and premonition abilities. I do not know if these are of interest or not.
☭ Sight
She has the ability to see ghosts and other spectral beings of interest. Whether or not that is useful will depend on certain factors. She can sense whether a spirit/unholy being/ghost/holy being is present. She will obviously not be able to see a powerful spectral if it has concealed itself, but she will receive strong signals from it. Included with said sight is her ability to talk to such beings. Most people will take her sight for spaciness.
☭ Premonition
She is reportedly a good fortuneteller. It depends on the event in the future. She won't know exactly how far into the future she is seeing, and sometimes she just won't see too much. Or, she will know exactly when something is going to happen. Maybe she'll see everything. It depends, and she hasn't figured out how the events are shown to her, why she can see certain things and can't see other things. She has taken to a habit of not telling people what she has seen because of fear of being wrong, being ridiculed, or because she could use the information to her advantage. She will give you a fortune, but for a price, of course.
The way her premonition works is she would see the vision, which accounts for her spaciness. In cases where it is violent, she might react as if she were really in that vision, with fright, or knife throwing. The way she could tell someone an individual fortune would involve that person having to pay a price, many times not even in the sense of paying for a glass of milk. And her predictions are usually correct.
