Wy (ワイ, Wai) is a minor character in the series Hetalia: Axis Powers.
Appearance
First color picture of Wy. Australia pictured in the bottom right corner.
Wy is a young girl of small stature and with small, but bushy eyebrows. She is depicted in shorts, a tank-top with a pink smock, a bandaid on her forehead, and a red ascot. In stand-alone pictures she is usually carrying around a large paintbrush. Her hair is fastened in a short and curly side-pony, and her scrunchie has a flower on it.
Personality And Interests
Wy appears to be the most mature of the introduced micronations, admonishing both Sealand and Seborga for their behavior when they visit her garden. While she emphasizes the fact that the mayor of the surrounding township has recognized her independence, she realizes that she is not classified as better than either of her micronation peers.
It is implied that both she and her King are artistically gifted.
Relationships
Sealand
Main Article: Sealand
When Sealand heard about her declaration of independence on the news, he goes to introduce himself and hopes that they can be friends. However, Wy acts somewhat cold and points out that, unlike him, she has been recognized. Despite this, the two appear to become friends.
Trivia
A painting by Prince Paul of Wy seemingly depicting the character.
- Wy's character card mentions that another Austrialian micronation, Hutt River, is her mentor, and that she doesn't really understand them. It also mentions that Australia is her older brother, and while she seems content that he recognizes her, is still frustrated that she hasn't gotten her highway yet.
- Her birthday corresponds with the day in 2004 that artist Paul Delprat declared his property's independence from the surrounding township of Mosman, New South Wales.
- She was created created because Paul Delprat was not allowed a highway on his property because the country would not allow him to. Thus, he had gone to the mayor and asked them for independence.
- On September 13th, 2010, Prince Paul of Wy posted a painting on his blog of Wy with her trademark paintbrush and easel, her rabbit, and what appears to be Sealand in the background. While there was no direct reference to Hetalia in the post itself, it is known that he was informed of the character's existence. The post contained the phrase: "Wy believes that all disagreements between nations, large and small, should be resolved by art, music and poetry competitions" as well as the lyrics to the micronation's anthem.
- In her first comic appearance, Wy is holding a large rabbit. However, it is unclear whether it is a real rabbit or a plush toy.
