Seychelles

Seychelles (セーシェル, Seeshieru, human name unknown) is a character in the series Axis Powers Hetalia. She represents the island of Seychelles. She first appeared as the main character in the dating sim game Gakuen Hetalia, and has since appeared briefly in the actual manga.

Appearance
Seychelles has long dark hair, tied into two pigtails with red ribbons. She wears a short blue dress with puffed sleeves, and is often shown holding a fish in art. Her skin tone varies from being brown to light tan depending on the image, though in some images she is also depicted with very light skin. In some artwork, her dress is depicted as having a flower print to it.

In Gakuen Hetalia, she wears a white sweater and red plaid skirt, as part of her school uniform.

Interests And Personality
Seychelles is described as a country girl with too big of a heart and some sloppiness. She can't cook on her own, and laments over her high cost of living. Her language is an odd mixture of French, English, and many others.

She has only made one major appearance in the comic to date (in We're Shipwrecked Too!), though she also makes a cameo in Comic Diary 9, where she rants about people not even knowing of her existence (after overhearing the other characters mention their countries' stereotypes and reputations).

In the Gakuen Hetalia universe, it is revealed (via flashback) that he helped raise her as a child, while in the present day he carries a strong affection for her and attempts to undress and grope her, much to her shock and embarrassment, apparently desperate to see what her body has become like.

Their relationship in the mainstream Hetalia universe has not been mentioned, outside of Francis appearing with her in Shipwrecked and an illustration in Christmas Rampage 2007, which depicts him groping Seychelles yet again.

Trivia

 * Her birthday corresponds with the date that Seychelles gained independence from Great Britain, on June 29th, 1976.
 * In the scrapped sequel to Christmas Rampage 2007, Seychelles winds up stripped of all her clothing by "Noto-sama", as a crossover with Susume! Kitakou Housoubu! (another webcomic by Hidekaz Himaruya) occurs.
 * Due to the island of Seychelles having no original inhabitants, it is believed by some fans that her lighter skin tone and the variations in it are meant to be reflective of its diverse population.
