Marianne Bonnefoi

Marianne Bonnefoi is the personification of the Republic of France. She speaks French fluently but also English as well, but when she does, her English accent comes off as a proper British dialect.

Because France historically has one of the best fighting records overall in wars, Marianne is quite proud of the strength of herself and France, though she'd much rather a more peaceful approach nowadays, especially after enduring both World Wars on her land. She had an intense rivalry with England and loved to argue with them over trivial topics, but since the days of them becoming allies in the early 1900s, this became less and less frequent. She will still occasionally poke fun at England sometimes. Her hobbies include gardening, fashion design, sketching, singing, and talking on telephones, as well as wandering around the art museums and fashion boutiques of Paris. She likes places that are a little odd or chic.

Marianne is infatuated with many of the other nations, being a very affectionate nation herself and often displaying this with little gestures such as cheek kisses (la bise) and warm hugs. She is very romantic. She is also quite fond of giving others gifts of flowers, wine, crepes, macarons, and chocolates. She has said "be gentle to the people and be gentle to the earth" is her motto. She has displayed affection for both men and women before.

She likes men who have exquisite bodies and give her a good impression, and has no exact preference in their personalities, so long as they are not loud, morally awful, or obnoxious. She has said before that she would like cool but passionate women and might latch on best to someone who is good at singing. She has also mentioned that anyone who smells awful is an instant turn off for her as well, preferring a lovely smell of flowers or lavender if she had to choose how someone smelled.

She has stated before that she is afraid of computers, mostly because she can't quite wrap her head around them. She finds them confusing, but thinks that anyone who can use a computer skillfully must be a genius.

Russia, especially recently, terrifies her, but whenever she is in a group, such as alongside Germany and England or other allies, her fear vanishes and she quickly puts on a brave face. In most cases, she does not fear fighting other nations, but it seems that taking on stronger nations like Russia, America, or China would be quite daunting and scary to her unless she has help.

She likes to play console video games with England and Germany each weekend, showing that she also has a bit of a nerdy side in the video game department as well (though she doesn't appear to be very good at the games they play, she has fun with them regardless). To Marianne, she has recently considered England and Germany to be her closest friends, especially since putting their rivalries aside. For her and Germany even, it is sometimes said they are the two gears that keep the European machine going.

Marianne complains about back pain and hip pain at times, often blaming it on her large breasts and age as well as experience in the World Wars. She often states that she has to go to bed early because she feels old sometimes despite having the appearance of a 26 year old lady. Despite this, she will still get upset if called an old lady.

In World War I, Marianne was on the front line as a combat medic. She states that she was incredibly saddened by all that she saw back in those days. In World War II, after Paris fell, she refused to surrender and continued to fight alongside England, showing that Marianne is a determined and stubborn woman when her people are in danger. She swore to keep fighting until her home was liberated, which it eventually was in 1944. But after WWII, Marianne became tired of fighting, desiring more peaceful approaches, hence her hesitation to fight unless absolutely necessary nowadays.

Marianne sees Canada and Seychelles as her children while seeing Monaco as her younger sister, having a great affection and protective nature for all three. Canada especially, Marianne seems to show how proud she is to see how strong of a nation they have become in the modern day. Even so, she still has that motherly attitude and is unafraid to defend the three of them, even if it puts her in harms way.

Marianne also has a positive relationship with Spain, Belgium, Italy, and Turkey due to being historical allies or having shared histories. Her relationship with America is usually positive, but she often worries for their health, especially lately. Marianne does not typically fight or argue with other nations, except Russia whom she is vocal against, though she typically won't stand up to them unless England and Germany are there to assist. Otherwise, words are all she may offer.
