Stupid incredibly fluffy plot bunny! Okay, since I don´t have enough time to do a proper update, I´m afraid you´ll have to settle for this fluffy drabble (the actual story is only a little over 200 words, ugh). This takes place after episode 93 (and somewhere 1200s-1400s) but it really doesn´t have much to do with history, at least until the end. I´ll post an actual chapter on the treaty of Windsor soon…
Oh and one more thing: thanks 2662Sophya and Radaketor for reviewing and following, that´s pretty much why I haven´t given up on this yet. Also Radaketor sorry about that mix up with Salazar, I dont really know what kind of government Estado Novo was. In the lastest version of Portugal´s character sheet I edited that a bit: see bottom.
"O que aconteceu, what happened England?" Portugal asked her old friend.
"Nothing really," he replied scowling. In reality England´s attempts at being fashionable had failed, yet again."
"Come on, you can tell me," she nudged him. "Was it France again? Really, it should be harder for him to insult you when he is wearing a dress. "
England laughed a little. "yeah, I guess it is rather silly of me to get so worked up on something so foolish. " Portugal smiled, and he felt a warm feeling in his chest. "Thanks Porty."
Portugal frowned. "Don´t call me that! It´s Portugal!"
"Okay, I won´t. Just please do not call me Iggy. Call me Great Britain!" he replied puffing out his chest. Portugal giggled, then stopped for a moment.
"I think we´ll need an empire first before we can get titles." She said thinking hard. "You know, sometimes I wonder if there´s anything out there past the sea. I know there is land to the east, people who are different. People who don´t believe in our God."
"Can we ever reach there?" England asked curiously.
"Maybe. Maybe one day we can." Portugal said with a gleam in her eyes. "One day we´ll each have a empire"
Here's the info for Portugal, there's weird spaces that I cannot seem to fix
Country: Portugal
Capital: Lisbon
Birthday: either June 10 (Portugal day, day of death of her famous poet Luís Vaz de Camões) or June 24 (day Afonso Henriques proclaimed himself prince and later king of Portugal)
Official Language: Portuguese, you'll often hear her speak it when she doesn't want anyone else to understand at Hogwarts.
Official Flower; Lavender
Human Name: Maria Henriques
Gender: Female (I know there are people who out there who prefer male!Portugal so I try to compromise by having her pretend to be a guy throughout history.)
Looks: Generally like the sketches, she has brown hair often pulled into a braid tied with a green ribbon and green eyes. Normally wears worn boots and an old jacket she uses for fishing onto of a whie cotton t-shirt. The only jewelry she wears is a gold cross with Jesus on a necklace and earrings shaped like the Order of Christ symbol. There is a scar on her left eye. There is also a less known but much larger scar on her stomach meant to represent the Lisbon earthquake. She is about 5 feet 3 inches (about 160 centimeters) and weighs around 120 pounds (54 kilograms).
Personality: A bit stubborn, but generally smart as she actually has one of the oldest universities in the world. She also is very defensive about herself as she has maintained her borders for centuries. You do not want to insult her, as she can pack a punch. However when you don't piss her off she will be polite to you and respectful. She also nicknamed silver-tongue occasionally because of her preference of diplomacy over war.
Choice of weapon: Her favorite is the sword, and it tends to be the Gladius she inherited from Rome. But she will also use a baker´s shovel.
Relation to other countries:
England: She is his oldest ally but they have an awkward relationship. Their feelings of romance are a bit confused. They are not dating anymore because of the railroad incident when both of them wanted to build a railroad connecting their colonies in Africa but England won out. This incident happened because of the British ultimatum where the Portuguese could either go to war against them ending their treaty or humiliate themselves by relenting. They relented and twenty years later, it was one of the causes of the ending of the Portuguese Monarchy when the last king and his heir were assassinated. The current Portuguese national anthem, A Portuguesa was written in response to the British Ultimatum and England tends to be moody whenever someone sings it. The treaty of Windsor always seems to work in his favor. On a lighter note, Portugal is also the one who introduced tea to him, and he is forever grateful. They also worked together in the Napoleonic wars as France never conquered both of them and France attacked Portugal three times.
America and Canada: She cares about them a lot since she knew them ever since they were little. She has empathy for Canada as their brothers overshadow both of them. She is good friends with America as she is the first to recognize him as a country and many of her citizens live in the United States.
Spain: Can't stand her brother, she had far too many wars with him. She knows even now he wants her to become a territory of his. One of the reasons she carries around her sword, but she gets along better with him nowadays. After all, siblings have to stick together.
Asian Countries: Are good friends with them, as she traded with them. She was the first one to reach Japan after she shipwrecked on his island. They traded for a while but he kicked her out when the Europeans started trying to convert people and the introduction of guns destroyed the bushido code. Macau was the last of her colonies to leave her in 1999 but they are on good terms.
France: she slaps him every time he flirts with her. The other reason for carrying her sword, she is still wary of him after the Napoleonic wars. He fortunately was never able to conquer her. However, Portugal and France do side on a few things, but it tends to pertain to cooking and wine.
Germany: she has a respectful relationship with him. In WWI she was dragged into the war when she honored the Anglo-Portuguese alliance by seizing his ships. In turn he declared war on her and she lost seven-thousand citizens. In WWII she had her own problems, since at that time her boss was Salazar, under the Estado Novo. He admires one of her soldier's bravery (Aníbal Milhais) in the war who had defended the rest of the retreating allies with just his machine gun. He sympathized with the Axis and traded with them, but didn't support them in war. With the Allies Portugal allowed them to use a naval base in Azores though Germany didn't attack her because of that. In the modern world she gets along with him better than some other European countries, since he never tried to invade her. He also gets along well with her since he thinks she is the only one of the Roman Empire's descendants who really tried to live up to his name. (This is a bit longer than others since I thought it would take a bit of time explaining. Annoyingly my textbook never mentions Portugal entering WWI so I googled this and used a book from the library)
Roman Empire: Her adopted grand-father. She inherits her dark hair and created her own empire, one of the first to do so in centuries (the Holy Roman Empire doesn't count since it wasn't holy, it wasn't roman, and it wasn't much of an empire.) She also inherited an obsession with fish (it was a staple in their diet).
The Italy brothers: She gets along well with North Italy since she knew him when she was Lusitania. She is a bit protective of him since she thinks he is so adorable. She is on bitter terms with South Italy due to his relation with Spain, and the fact that he annoys the cod out of her.
Hungary and Ukraine: Whenever she wants to feel like a girl she goes to the two of them, though this isn't often. She is good friends with Hungary as they both like to team up to scare and prank the male countries. She is also the first to recognize Ukraine as a country.
Muslim Empire: Her adopted mother. She kicked her out because of clashes in religion and her people wanted freedom and to not be controlled. However her language changed because of the Arabic, and became the poetic language we know today. She also adopted architecture and art from both the Muslim Empire and the Roman Empire. She also still has an astrolabe invented by the Muslim Empire. (This is my own idea, and the Muslim empire occupied Portugal from about 700 A.D. to 1143 A.D. if I am correct.)
Likes: Fish and fishing, cooking, soccer, poetry and music
Dislikes: Her brother Spain and (depending on the situation) France, anyone who messes with her or her colonies and England.
Religion: Catholic
Crush: Um… fine it's England, though it will be tough to get her to admit it.
Pets: Galo (rooster/cockerel) de barcelos, a black rooster with symbols on it named Cruz (cross) and a rare Iberian lynx named Augusta, and finally Portugata, a brown cat similar looking to Spain's cat. Portugata somehow has a brown stripe of fur on her eye greatly resembling Portugal's scar.
