If it’s alright to ask can I know more about your OC?
OMG of course!
My OC is the personification of the Grand Duchy of Draostein, a fictional country I created just for the sole purpose of making a Hetalia OC.
Draostein is a small island nation a few miles off of Germany’s northern coast, near Denmark. I don’t have much else when it comes to the geography of the country yet, but I’m open for suggestions!
Anyway, Draostein’s human name is Remismund Bruns, formerly Beilschmidt— he informally changed his surname in the early 1950s.
Draostein was a state of the German Empire up until the November Revolution; a year after, in 1919, he declared independence. Remi spent his early life living with Germany, who’s technically his father. In any case, though, he looked up to Ludwig a lot. He honestly put this man on a pedestal, so he was heartbroken after WW2. (Feel free to correct me if I have any historical inaccuracies here btw, I did my research but I’m not perfect)
This is the design I have for his flag, I’m not exactly a graphic designer so it’s just a recolored, slightly edited Wirmer flag:
Tumblr media
Personality-wise, Remi’s an oujidere. On first impression, he’s a stuck-up, snooty asshole. On second impression… nothing really changes, actually. He’s impatient, rather childish, and will say anything to save face. This holier-than-thou attitude stems from the betrayal and heartbreak he felt back during WW2 and the subsequent development of a superiority complex. He looks down on the other nations (especially Germany), even though he doesn’t have the room to. The only exception to this is Luxembourg, whom he considers an equal due to his status as a grand duchy.
Remi is also… painfully out of touch with the world, despite being a younger nation. He considers himself to be "too good for the Internet” and is so unwilling to learn how to use technology that he's managed to lock himself out of his own cellphone for the next century. Outside of world meetings, the only ways other nations can contact him are via snail mail or telegram.
A few other things about him:
His birthday is October 13.
His favorite foods are schnitzel and chocolate. He also loves French fries, but only enjoys them in private, as he thinks potatoes are “peasant food.”
His favorite drink is seltzer water. Red flag.
He’s embarrassed himself during world meetings on multiple occasions, but refuses to admit it.
Physically, he’s 17-18 years old and 5’8”.
Aside from a concept design that I made in a dollmaker, I don’t have any colored art of him yet. I do have a few doodles of him though! (plus a bonus America and Iceland)

That’s all I got of him for now, thank you so much for asking anon!

Bergamot: Germany. Vanilla: Draostein
Bergamot: What gesture of kindness made the biggest impact on them, and why?
It may seem corny, but the biggest impact that kindness ever made on Ludwig was when he met Feliciano. The Italian was his first friend; though he irritated Ludwig sometimes— okay, well, most of the time— Feli changed his life just by being there. His presence gave Ludwig, a lost nation with no memories of his childhood, hope for the future, something he hadn't had in a long time.
Even today, Feliciano is one of the few people who can make him smile. Sometimes, Ludwig wonders where he'd be, had he never found that tomato crate.
Vanilla: What is a food or scent that carries a lot of nostalgia for them? How do they feel if they smell it now?
Remismund has a bittersweet relationship with the smell of roses. In the 1920s, his first decade as an independent nation, he'd formed a very close relationship with Draostein's newly-crowned monarch, the young Duchess Lucienne, who was also known as the "Lady of the Roses" due to her love for said flower. Remi and Lucienne loved each other, were in love with each other, and were planning to be married until Lucienne tragically died of influenza at only twenty years old.
To this day, Remi carries a small portrait of her at all times, and he's had several rose gardens planted in her memory. He often finds himself wandering these gardens when he misses her. The smell of roses brings her back to him, if only for a few, fleeting moments.

remi! who do you see as your best friends?
Tumblr media
"Not many are worthy of my company! But my fellow grand duchy, Luxembourg, is a dear friend of mine. I also think that the Baltic nations are entertaining to have around."
