Giga Giant Iceland

Appearance:

Iceland has silver-white hair, described as being somewhat tousled or "bed-headed". He wears a deep brown military jacket, a white dress shirt with a ribbon tie underneath, deep brown straight-legged pants, and white half-laced boots. He also sports a pair of white gloves.

He's usually seen with a Puffin-like bird, which sometimes sports a pink bowtie. Himaruya revealed in Volume 3 that his puffin's name is "Mr. Puffin" and what differentiates him from normal puffins is his black belly and pink bowtie. Mr. Puffin looks cute, but speaks and acts like an Italian Mobster.

In his original character design and a header by Hidekaz Himaruya, his eyes were colored blue, though they were changed to violet in later artwork (such as a chibi version of him and his manga design sheet shown in the guide for the movie).

Out of the five Nordics, he is the youngest.

Personality and Interests:

He appears relatively cool and composed on the surface but is warmer and passionate ("hot-blooded") deep down. However, he doesn't show it because he's embarrassed and afraid of getting teased by it. It's the same for his accent. Iceland tries to hide his distinguishable accent and prefers to speak in English if he can. Rather than be called weird, he's widely known as aesthetic and very different compared to other European countries. Iceland appears calm, cool and doesn't talk much. He appears to be matured but is actually trying to hide his childish sides. He is a bit uninformed of the latest news since his house is separated from other countries but keeps up with American websites.

He seems to be rather modest as, when forced to strip to check him for the mark during the 2010 Christmas Event, he was very upset and unwilling, and seemed somewhat traumatized by it the next day, despite that it was for a good cause. He's very fond of licorices and hot springs.

Due to his recent financial problems, Russia has been helping him. Though he is treated kindly by him, he can't help but feel suspicious. When Hungary implements that he's one of the younger ones and can't be exposed to a sensitive ghost story, he simply denies that he's not one of them. He's short-tempered when it comes to Mr. Puffin.

Iceland is mildly angry when the other Nordics pester him to call them (Norway especially) "Onii-chan" (big brother) because he's confirmed to be an adult and wants the others to stop treating him like a child, he wants to feel like a part of the crowd (he already is). He could see fairies and magical beings, as proven when Norway tries to persuade him using fairies called The Bøyg but prefers to pretend he can't.

As a child, he was introverted and lonely. He sent out letters hoping people would be interested in him but to no avail. As he got older and things began to improve, people began taking an interest to him but with Denmark and England quarrelling and almost being captured by African pirates, he wanted them to leave and felt that being lonely was better.
