Willem de Ruyter

Netherlands is a pleasant coworker and a reliable business partner. He won't go back with someone if something bad happened because it's a tad embarrassing and everyone'll gossip about it. In his earlier years of being a country, he was shown to be awe struck at difference in wealth between himself and Belgium and thus began his stingy ways when he saw what having money was capable of doing. Because of his new love for money, he often tries to profit from nearly anything or anyone he can. Of course, this did not mean he was greedy with friends.

He tends to smoke cigarettes, but will not argue if asked politely to put them away, showing he does seem to have self control and manners to a high degree. He also owns a pet bunny, showing a softer side of him, despite his seemingly stern appearance.

His younger siblings, whom he holds dear, are Luxembourg and Belgium, who both describe him as a clean, composed, stern, straight to business kind of guy, but deep down someone who can also have fun if convinced. Belgium especially thinks her brother is secretly a big softie.

Appearance: Netherlands has somewhat short, spiky blond hair with sideburns, and blue eyes. He is shown to be quite muscular and is usually a bit taller than many other nations, standing at about 6 feet and 2 inches tall, but still shorter than Russia and Sweden. He has a small vertical scar on his forehead over his right eyebrow. He also wears a long, blue and white striped scarf, as well as a double-breasted khaki jacket half-unbuttoned with blue designs on the sleeves, a white belt with a large pocket on its left side, dark gray riding pants, tall black laced boots with white soles, and a blue tank top underneath his jacket.

He can often be seen with a somewhat stern or intimidating expression which causes others to be nervous to be around him. But, perhaps he is much more gentle and kind than he appears.
