Character name: Belgium
Fandom: Axis Powers Hetalia
Timeline: After Germany went through Belgium to get to France in World War I
Age: She appears to be about 19, but a few hundred years
~*Magical*~ abilities and strengths: How cool is that she eats like crazy, has a really bad apatite for sweets, waffles, and beer and yet not gain a single pound? Yep! I wish I had that ability. Naturally, underneath it all, she does a good job of making sure Holland stays out of trouble. She also makes crazy good Belgian waffles. Other then that, she is a nation, but she doesn't seem to have any extrodinary powers to mention.
How would they use their abilities?: None of these abilities will make much difference.
Appearance:
Background/Personality: Sad enough, Belgium is a relatively minor role in Hetalia. As of currently, she has only had about 5 seconds in the anime and who knows in the web comic/manga. She’s less recognized then Canada [Anime/web comic terms, not popularity terms], though that doesn’t particularly bother her. Though, it is known that she has two siblings. One of them is her older brother Holland/the Netherlands and the other is her little sister Luxembourg. They form what is called the Benelux Trio. They were all territory of Spain in the late 1500s, but not all of them wanted to remain as such. Holland rebelled against Spain, expecting Belgium and Luxembourg to follow in his footsteps. Why? He attempted to become closer to Belgium. That didn’t work exactly as planned, however. Neither sister went along with him and instead fought on Spain’s side. Since then, Belgium and Holland’s relationship together has been somewhat strained and has turned into more of a love-hate relationship.
Times went on and in the early 1800’s Holland made a big attempt of reuniting with his sister. Though, a good 300 years does a lot to separate people who have not really contacted each other in a long time. Belgium didn’t care for this and rebelled against him for her own independence. Eventually, she became her own country, not ruled by anyone else. When 1914 came about, war broke between the Axis powers and the Allies. Belgium has always been more of a neutral kind of country and disliked fighting if she could help it. However, when Germany declared war on France, she had no problem with it… until Germany decided to go through her first in order to weaken France. Now it was her problem. If he thought that she was weak, in which case she was somewhat, then he was clearly mistaken and she wouldn’t stand for it. It cheesed her off just at the thought he would have the audacity to do so. She managed to survive outnumbered and out-skilled for about a month.
What are some of the relationships she has with other nations? Well… Belgium watches over Luxembourg and over Holland to make sure he doesn’t cause too much problems, as he can be very… devious. Ever since the failed attempt at doing a joint rebel against Spain, their relationship has become strained and they tend to speak on difficult terms. Even though that is the case and that he drives her up the wall, deep down inside she deeply cares for her brother. Naturally, being under Spain’s rule, along with Luxembourg and South Italy [Romano], she has grown attached to both. She, which is a lot clearer then Holland, harbors a crush on both Spain and Romano, though it’s not shown all that easily. That’s natural when you grow up with those very people and when they become close to you. Aside from that, she thinks of Hungary, Spain, and Romano as her best friends. Spain had always been there for her and during those days she stayed with him, Spain, Romano, and Belgium formed the Tomato Trio. She adores Romano and insists in any way to help him out with his studies. Though, she tends to tease him a bit. Hungary has been one of her best friends. During the times that she was staying with Austria, she'd be seen with Hungary a lot of the times.
How about Germany now? Oh god! That wasn’t a good thing to get her started on Germany. Before the invasion of her country, she respected Germany and had nothing against him. After his actions, however, she began to really dislike Germany. Play with fire, you’ll get burned. Usually Belgium isn't one for violence or disliking people, but Germany’s actions pressed her buttons and she got really annoyed by that. He is probably the only one she would show dislike for or even glare at, but over all, she would do the best not to do what she really wanted to do. She didn't want to hold grudges, though it was increasingly hard when it was Germany she was talking about.
What about the other Allies? She has a great respect for England, though America and France are somewhere there. She's thankful for all the times that England had been there for her. She's determined to be that one person who would always be there for him if no one else will. So far, she thinks that America is somewhat idiotic, but for the most part, she does respect him. She’s learned to kind of overlook his actions unless they become too reckless or stupid. France is about the same respect as America, which really isn’t all that bad. For France, she just finds him a little… crude. The flashy clothing and actions don’t really help that opinion. Especially since his idea of “romance” is a little extreme. Though, aside from a few varying factors, she has a respect for them all. She can’t say much for China, Russia, and various other nations because she doesn’t really know them all that well.
--------------
In general, she is a well-mannered girl who would rather solve problems by talking it out. She will sometimes, however. Though, if you peeve her off, odds are that might differ slightly for you. She -- for the most part -- tries to be mature about things and get both sides of an argument before jumping the gun. In her attempts to try to remain mature, she tries her best to be open minded to different situations. That, however, can prove to be a very difficult task at times. Open-mindedness isn't always a good thing, though.
Her open-mindedness makes her what we would call naïve. She’s easy to believe things, despite her attempts to be smarter then that. Belgium believes that neutrality is the best way to go about things because she is a pacifist. She will only fight if it is absolutely necessary and that’s the only solution to the problem. If there is one thing she wants, it’s to improve relationships with other nations and try to make them to good ones she can rely on. Just because she is friendly, it does not mean that she won’t fight back if needed. She's a bit tom-boyish, however, and does not really like wearing skirts or dresses much, but given certain events and circumstances, she will if she has to.
Her favorite things would be chocolate, waffles, and yes, beer! Though, she’s mostly interested in sweets, sad enough. Her waffles usually consist of a lot of toppings. She loves putting chocolate syrup, cinnamon ice-cream, chocolate-dipped strawberries, blue berries, and maple syrup. Wow, talk about a sweet tooth. She adores beer! Though, she’s a friendly drunk, so no worries. Though, she tends to be a little more… clingy drunk.

Have you read up on how the game works?: FlammingFerret; Three ways to earn money on the ship are to do missions, freelance, or mooch off of others
1st person sample: Where am I? I don't remember this place. It looks like some sort of ship or something...
Romano...? Spain? ...Holland?!
[When there was no reply back from anyone, she began to worry even more.]
Okay... Just call down Belgium. I'm sure this is just some sort of dream. Just... no more waffles before bed... especially not ones soaked in beer...
Neem me niet kwalijk*... Anyone there? I need to find my way back home. Isn't there anyone here that can help me out... just a little!?
[She looked to see the guide on the ground, picking it up.]
Did somebody drop this?
[Neem me niet kwalijk* - Excuse me]
3rd person sample: Belgium was doing her daily chores. She wasn't aware of where Luxembourg was currently, but she just hoped that she was doing alright. She wiped her forehead with the back of her hand.
"There! That should be everything" she exclaimed, feeling relieved to finally be done for the day.
As she started to find Spain, she over heard very loud noises. She sighed; it was probably Spain's "teaching" that was the culprit. Romano didn't take well to it; Then again, he wasn't really the "easily accepting" type. Most of the things Spain tried teaching, he blew it off and said it was too hard to learn or too confusing. She knew just as well as Spain that he could learn under certain circumstances.
What kind? Well... at the moment, Belgium wasn't completely sure, but she had a theory. It seemed that whenever she popped her head in to say hi and commented about his studies, Romano seemed to pick it up just fine... and use it if the time was right for it. She shrugged, deciding to pop in and check if everything was okay. It didn't matter if it was for that reason or not; She still had to inform Spain about being done, anyways.
"How is everything coming-" she started, glancing at the people.
Three people present... There was one more then normal. Holland.... He was busy arguing with Romano about something or another. It probably didn't matter anyway. They stopped when she had entered. It seems that Holland to take the chance to get up and rush over to her.
"Belgium, we're leaving" he told her.
It was obvious he wasn't suggesting it. It was some kind of order. He simply sighed. She shook her head, taking his hand off her shoulder. She wasn't going to leave, just like that. Sure, she was under Spain's rule, along with Luxembourg, but it wasn't like they were treated bad; And for Holland to try to fix things when it's already been so long... it wasn't the right time for it.
"No. I'm not going anywhere. I'm looking out for Luxembourg. She can't be alone here. Don't say that we'll take her with. We're not leaving" she explained calmly.
"What are you talking about? It would be better if you and Luxembourg joined me in unification. It's okay! Really! You're older brother is here for you" he told her with confidence, "so let's get going."
"Broer, I said no. It's too late for that" she said, ending it there and then.
She really didn't want to have to deal with this right now. She walked back in, smiling to Romano. He needed encouragement, obviously by the face he was giving. She calmly told him to keep trying Spain's Spanish lessons. He could do it; Belgium knew he could, even without even demonstrating. He was a smart kid. She looked to Spain.
