I was a very small nation when they found, but they saw something inside me that made them want me to be their sister. I took on a German name, Reinetier. My name, it means 'Pure Animal'. My eyes scared them at first causing them to flinch, but when they seen the tears form in my big, white eyes, they stayed with me. Before they had found me though, I had seen two brothers on my land. They were German and one had the same strange eyes as me, but they were red. They were older than me by a few years, so I watched them for a while from the branches of a tree with my pet Sabre-toothed cat, Schneetier. They didn't seem to notice we were there though, but it didn't bother me. That was the reason I was in the tree in the first place. I couldn't understand what they were saying, but there was one phrase that the brother with blue eyes used that I fell in love with. The words 'Reine tier'.
That day I gave myself a name. "Reinetier," I said in my soft voice. I liked my name so much that I wanted to one day learn the language it came from, but I waited until I was a more stable nation. It was actually a few months later that the nations England, America, and Canada found me and made me their sister. I didn't know much, so they had taught me how to be a nation. England taught me how to be strong, America taught me how to cook, and Canada, well, he taught me how to be stealthy. I had lessons with each of them every day. The lessons were long, but they were useful for me. After a while, they told me their human names and I came up with mine. I said my name was Rebecca Beilschmidt. Beilschmidt was another word I heard the two brothers I had seen use before.
A few months later when Arthur had finished teaching me about world conference, he told me that he was going to take me to my first one and introduce me as a new nation. My eyes widen with fear and excitement at meeting other nations. I stared in his green eyes, "But-but what if something goes wrong? What if I make myself look stupid in front of all the other nations?!" My lips were quivering with fear of being made fun of or attacked in some way by another nation when I was so young.
Arthur, of course, being my brother tried to reassure me by saying, "Don't worry little sister. You'll be fine, and if someone does try to hurt you, I'll be there to protect you. Alfred and Matthew will be there too, so there should be nothing for you to worry about. We'll protect you. I promise." He hugged me tightly and wiped my tears of fear off my face with his thumb like he always did when I cried. I held onto him shaking slightly, but glad he was there for me.
The time came for the worlds conference and I held onto Arthur's and Alfred's hands so tightly I thought I was hurting them. We were there before the other nations so I wouldn't feel as overwhelmed as I would if I came when everyone else was here. Alfred let go of my hand so he could get the world conference room ready. This of course caused me to stick closer to Arthur out of fear and shyness towards new people.
Arthur reminded me of a few things because I asked him to. After words, I asked him where I would be sitting. He told me since I tended to hold his left hand, that he would being sitting to my right. He also told me where every other nation was likely to sit as well. Then at the end of his word he told me about the nations that would be closest to me. He said Prussia would be sitting to my left and France would be sitting right across from me.
So, I sat down where I was suppose to and drew pictures of uniform ideas. I had yet to find an idea for a uniform, so I wore normal clothing. I kept staring at the blank sheet of paper until Schneetier rubbed her head against my leg letting me know that someone was coming over. I looked up and saw a man with long, blond hair, blue eyes, and a very fancy blue, cape-like uniform on come in and sit right in front of me. 'That must be France,' I thought to myself, "but why is his uniform so girly?' I tilted my head to one side in curiosity.
After a few moments other nations began to enter the room. The second scariest nation I saw was a very tall one with a scarf around his neck. I grabbed Arthur's hand when I first saw him look at me with his dark blue almost purple eyes. I had to hide my face in his shoulder as well to keep my tears of fear at bay. All of the nations were staring at me. Alfred told me it would happen, but he didn't have as many nations looking at him. Arthur slightly nudged me off of him whispering that it was alright.
I looked up from his shoulder with my white eyes closed tight. I remembered how my brothers had at first been scared of their color, so I didn't want the other nations to label me as something I wasn't before they got to know me. I heard all of the nations talking at once and it hurt a little. I knew they were all talking about how I kept my eyes closed. 'I should have worn a blindfold. That way, maybe I would look as weird,' I thought with a trimmer of fear going down my back when I heard someone say, "Become one with Mother Russia, Da?" I shook my head at that point out of fear that the voice came from the very tall nation with the scarf.
"Velcome Reinetier. Ve are glad to meet you," a familiar voice sounded from my left. Two very familiar voices I have heard before. I couldn't hold my eyes shut any longer. I needed to see the source of the voice. My white eyes popped opened at their voices. I heard many gasps at my white eyes, but I blinked my eyes and looked to my left where I heard the voices.
"You-you have vhite eyes?" the red-eyed brother I had seen a few months ago was sitting directly at my left side. 'Prussia. His name is Prussia. Why? Why is even he shocked at my white eyes? Am I-am I really that scary? Will I always just be the girl in the corner that looks like some kinda of monster?' I thought to myself. I felt my whole body shaking, my lips quivering, and my eyes slowly watering up. I swallowed back my tears and quickly made a sledge of my hand to Schneetier. A sign that I used when I want to leave a place quickly. She came over to me and made me get on her back. She quickly got me out of there as I closed my eyes and sobbed into her neck as she ran. Arthur yelled after me, but Alfred ran after me without words. He wasn't able to catch up though, of course, because Schneetier had been doing this since I was born.
