Character survey // wip
I wish to point out the answers will be a mix of canon, headcanon and meme canon. I apologize if anything is wrong or doesn't make sense.
Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
He's quite tall. Around the same height as his brother America. He's thin, but he has pudge in some places. Namely his butt. I would say his muscles are quite average wth slightly bigger biceps thanks to his ice hockey obsession.
2. How old is he?
He's kinda old as a Nation obviously. His appearance age is harder since Himaruya never said anything about it. I like to think he's around the same age as America, so that means he's 19.
3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?
Oh, he slouches a LOT. However when he's in meetings or around important people, he tries his best and have a perfect posture (even though he probably strains his back doing so).
4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
He's quite fit I'd say. Canada plays a lot of sports, but he eats as badly as America. The sports would help him burn the fat quicker.
5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
A bit tense. Always very wary of his surroundings, so he doesn't rush about (unless he's late for meetings).
6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?
Since canonly he looks just like America and everyone finds him attractive, I would say the same goes to him.
When Canada looks in the mirror, he doesn't see himself as super good looking. He thinks he's okay.
7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
Very pale. During summers he gets a good tan though with those awful tan lines.
8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style.
Colour: a dirty blonde with a slight ginger undertone.
Texture: Very soft and slilky.
Style: wavy, swishy and it ends just under his ears.
9. What color are his eyes?
They are purple I think, or a violet-blue.
10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
He has a long curl that extends from the top of his forehead (in his hair) to his chin. It also has a little loop in the end of it.
11. What are his chief tension centers?
His back and head. He gets a lot of pain in those places due to being stressed and playing sports.
12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?
Causual with the odd smart suit he reserves for meetings. Canada likes lots of hoodies. Baggy and thick is his style. He also likes baggy pants that are worn but trustworthy.
13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?
No they don't. Even his suits are a tad tight on him, but he doesn't mind.
14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences?
He wears a suit for his job. As soon he gets home, he doesn't take it off immediatedly, he just takes the tie off and the jacket and chill.
15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
Boxers! He wears briefs when playing sports though.
