Disclaimer:I don't own Axis Powers Hetalia, if I did Ireland would have already appeared in cannon.
I always imagined Ireland having black hair, probably I keep associating my OC Ireland with the song 'Galway girl'
There were whispers of war in the mainland, she did not need that, her independence was young, she had no desire to threaten it.
Her boss was firm on this, she wasn't sure if she liked him much, he had caused her great pain in his stubborness.
She would stay out of it, this was not her battle. She would not fight his battles anymore, that was her right.
"No" she said, her face etched in stone, Arthur glared at her, she sighed and sipped her tea.
"Why not?" he demanded.
"I'm remaining neutral in this" she said, "I won't fight with you but I won't fight against you"
"Aoife" Arthur leaned forward, "You are a vulnerable position for me, you could be used to break my defences"
"Do you have that little faith in me Artie?" she smiled softly, "I managed to fight you for quite a while, and besides the Axis won't attack neutral countries"
"How do you?"
"My boss has been keeping quite the Iron grip on information, whether relevant or not" she smirked, "But some slips through, Sweden? He's still neutral with the Axis powers on all sides"
"I guess" Arthur sighed, "I assumed that we could fight this one together the a whole family, like old times"
Her smile became cold, "I did not fight you to follow you into battle, brother"
Arthur looked so forlorn, her stony expression softened slightly.
"But perhaps my neutrality could tip in the allies favour" she said.
"That…..doesn't make sense" Arthur said slowly.
She rolled her eyes, "I don't want to be invaded by either the Axis powers or you, so perhaps when I come upon information that could be…..beneficial to you, it found some way to you on and maybe if your pilots are shot down over Irish air, they somehow managed to make it up North"
She looked at her brother, "Of course, this is all ifs" she sipped her coffee.
"Of course" he smirked.
"And since if these accidents were to happen, it would terribly embarrassing for me" she sighed over dramatically, "And it would be a great favour if you did not mention them to any of the other allies"
"Oh, I wouldn't think of it" England grinned.
"That would be very much appreciated" Ireland smiled back.
During WW II, Ireland did have a very biased neutrality towards the Allies.
Eamon DeValara was running the country at the time of the war, after the treaty was signed, him walking out over the oath to the king was a major split in the Sinn Fein party and a spark for the civil war.
