ah...now I actually think of her being at least 1000 (assuming she came into existance when the first Polyniseians arrived...around 900AD[taking the later date...though it might have been as early as 300AD])...assuming her age count starts when meeting Igi though...it's more like 100-200(...can't remember if the age of being 1000 came before or after writing this...probably after)...I even have an idea that Hawaii and Igi had a childhood relationship, even though they never meet physically...it's more of meeting through dreams...this comes form HI's strong belief in the supernatural(Pele, nightmarchers, menehune, etc)

...like most nations, once in the teen-20s age, they don't really age...I think that she looks 18...but is actually 20ish(partially comes from the asians...they look young(teen-early 20s), but are actually kind of old(older twenties...))...when first meeting the western countries though, I imagine her as a chibi...most countries only start to "grow" once they have western laws and government(yes...HI had laws from the chiefs and kings, before westerners come but...I don't know...I always thought they grow once western law starts to come into play...but that's not true for China and Japan...@___@...I'm not really sure anymore >___<;;;)

...on height...yes native Hawaiians are tall...but I just can't imagine it...if she's tall, she would probably be taller then Igi...and I just can't see it...if she's tall, she loses something to me...I just imagine her to be really cute, short, and the opposite to America...Ame(tall, handsome, selfish, a tad stupid) vs HI (short, cute, caring, intelligent)

...on language...I can imagine the pidgin, that would be funny!...but some reason, it wouldn't totally work...I don't think Igi would allow it when he's teaching her about the world, and helping her(Kamehameha actually) on uniting the islands

I know there are a lot of Asians...but I perfer her name to not include anything Asian...Asians only started to come due to the plantations...and I assume she would have a name before that...I also chose the name because it sounded stereotypical/commonly known(...everyone knows Kamehameha right?...I mean...DBZ right there)...and Aloha, I just think it would be cute if her name meant love(she is accepting of all cultures, races and etc) XD

with the thing on Al...I guess I'm a romantic...I see it that he's had a crush on her since the time they first met(he actually asked her to marry him when they meet...not historically accurate...but funny), and since then he's been doing whatever is in his power(even if it's cruel, like the Overthrow) to make her his...(did that last part make sense >__<;;;)...also...I see her as a mother figure to him...I think she already has 8 "kids"(the actual hawaiian islands...I know there are more in the north western side...but then that would be too many...maybe 9 if you count Loihi too)...so she's maternal towards him...I think he would like someone to "baby" him/take care of him

...on marriage...I don't see it as forced...marriage=statehood and dating=annexation...by the time Hawaii becomes a state, most people in HI wanted to join the US...when Hawaii is annexed, she's his "girlfriend"...yes, that was forced...but after awhile, she calms down about it and accepts it...another point on marriage...I see it as that it has always been her dream, she enjoys the freedom of being a nation, but she also realized that she is pretty powerless on her own, and that it would be positive for her to "marry"...I mean seriously, without Ame, she would be weak, and would have been taken over by someone else...maybe Germany XP...though most likely Japan

on the thing with Spain...some reason I imagine him as a ship-wrecked survivor, and she "saves" him...(actually, it was the turtles that saved him from drowning, but she takes care of him after)...supposedly she also kind of met Netherlands before Igi...I thought France too, but I'm not 100% on this anymore >__<;;;

...I realize when typing this, I don't know "A LOT" about Hawaii history(wasn't really my fav class in school)...but I'll try to research it a bit more ^-^;;;...btw...sorry about the long reply

...random question...which library do you work for?...I also work at a library XD
