AU Background: Nyotalia is the name of this alternate universe, created by Himaruya, the author of Hetalia. The world of Nyotalia functions much the same way as the world of Hetalia. The culture, history and setting of the world of Hetalia (the same as our own world), including wars, alliances and historical events that affected the nations, are all the same as the one of Nyotalia. However, the nations in Nyotalia are all gender swapped with somewhat different personalities. The majority of the cast are female.

Personality: Much like her male counterpart, Alice is an incredibly contradictory character, though not necessarily in the same way as Arthur Kirkland. Whereas he might only insist he was a gentleman, and often prove otherwise, Alice finds it easier to present herself as an elegant lady. This occurs more often when she’s trying to make a good first impression to someone, however, and it doesn't detach her from being snippy, arrogant or sarcastic to others. Often she will appear elegant, ladylike and in control, but still behave in a way that may confuse others. Indeed, one way in particular in which she appears so contradictory is that her snide and sarcastic side often comes out when she’s around the people she likes, as well as when she is with someone she dislikes or is being defensive of her culture or behaviour to others.

A good example of this particular contradiction between what Alice feels and what she puts across would be how she treats America. England raised America; she was very kind to the colony, though not always the best guardian or carer, often disappearing from America’s life for huge quantities of time. Eventually, the young nation revolted, greatly upsetting and hurting Alice in the process. The revolution is still a sore spot for Alice, though she hides it more easily than her male counterpart. Alice still holds strong affection toward America, but continues to hide these feelings under a blanket of grumbling and snideness. Which is not to say she is never kind to the American; she worries about her often, and will be kinder when America is upset – as long as she is not the one that caused America’s upset, in which case her pride may get in the way. Often her complaints to America are a sign of her doting protectiveness. She will complain about America’s loud nature, her diet, her political actions, but she only does so because she worries about America. Alice still believes she knows what’s best for her former colony, and is never afraid to say as much. Whenever Alice gets close to anyone and holds affection for them, yet feels she must hide it, there will be moments when she treats them in a similar way, though perhaps not to the same degree as she treats America. She often appears cold or uncaring, but that is only because she refuses to show how she truly feels. Despite this, if she is truly happy and comfortable in someone's presence, she will still let herself smile and be kind to them (especially if said someone is an adorable, magical creature).

Alice is more in control of her emotions than her male self often appears— whenever she is hurt, she will find it easier to hide those feelings behind a façade of stoniness or an uncaring manner. This is not to say she is an expert, however, and there are things that can break down her façade— things that hurt, scare or anger her on a more extreme level will break down that uncaring appearance and she will react negatively or even violently, bringing out the “punk” side she was described as having by the Hetalia creator.

England’s background and history is something that shaped her personality tremendously. Alice grew up a very lonely nation; her country was invaded a lot in her early years, and she had few friends – certainly, very few who were nations. France was someone she met early on and developed a long and complex rivalry to; she became the closest nation Alice had to a friend back then, though Alice would never admit to as much. The two of them remain rivals, constantly bickering, fighting and taunting one another, but their rivalry is complicated and though Alice would never admit to it, she does care about France and it would hurt her deeply to ever lose the Frenchwoman in any way. There were humans that Alice grew close to as well, but they died far too quickly for her to get too attached to them– and she learnt early on not to try anymore, though she has always remained loyal to her people, especially to the Royal family and to her Prime Ministers. Her primary contact when she was very young though was her friendships with supernatural creatures. As such, she will defend her friendship with the creatures to no end if anyone makes a comment against them.

The loneliness she experienced (and still experiences) is something that has hardened her to the world around her and made it difficult for her to trust people or make emotional attachments easily. There are some exceptions to this; a big one would be a America, particularly when America was young, even though after the colony revolted it only made it more difficult for Alice to get emotionally close to others. It is usually a long time before she will commit to becoming anyone's friend. As well as lonely, Alice has also always been an extremely proud nation. She takes pride in herself, her country and her people, and will always defend her own behaviour, as well as her English culture and people, wherever necessary.

Abilities: All nations are far stronger than humans. They also have the ability to heal much faster and can live for longer. Their endurance is also more pronounced. In addition, Alice in particular has the ability to perform magic, though she doesn’t always get the best results. She can also see and speak to magical creatures, such as fairies and unicorns, where others can't.
