Movie
Description
France appears as a blond, blue-eyed man with shoulder-length, wavy hair and slight facial hair, believing it lends him a "big brother" look. His signature attire features a long blue coat with a capelet, red pants, and brown boots, evolving from earlier depictions with white spats. He is frequently seen holding a rose, which also functions as a censorship device.
His personality embodies a romanticized, artistic, and hedonistic outlook; he proclaims himself "the dandiest among the dandies," prioritizing beauty, love, and elegance. He is openly affectionate, making frequent sexual advances towards others regardless of gender or age, drawn to "exquisite bodies" or "cool but passionate" personalities, yet he respects firm rejections. He avoids loud personalities like England and favors floral scents. Despite his amorous nature, he shows responsibility, refusing alcohol to underage America. He frequently references his old age, complaining of aches while rejecting being called a "grandpa." He harbors specific fears, including computers, Germany, Russia, Switzerland, Turkey, and England's anger, though he interacts with Germany and England during leisure activities like gaming.
Historically, France was a powerful nation early on, but his military prowess declined after Napoleon's death. Reliance on figures like Jeanne d'Arc for regained glory ended in mockery after her early death, forcing him to depend on others' strength in conflicts, leading to joining the Allied Forces in World War II. He believes in reincarnation for those "toyed with by history," feeling confirmed upon meeting a girl he thought was Joan of Arc reborn.
His relationships are complex. A deep-seated rivalry with England involves constant arguments over language and culture, yet they share mutual respect and cooperate against threats, recalling childhood moments like England letting France pretend to conquer him. France initially sought to control Italy as a child, developing attraction as Italy grew, defending him and showing concern. He views Spain as an inseparable though "undesirable" companion, communicating via a bird named Pierre, and acts protectively towards Monaco. His relationship with Germany fluctuates with history, though they spend modern time together, like visiting a maid café. He exhibits obsessive behavior toward Austria, including stalking and declarations of desire, despite historical discord.
In *Paint it, White*, France joins the "World 8" responding to an alien invasion by the Pict, who drain Earth's color and emotion. Paired with England on the alien spacecraft, their bickering leads to capture after aliens misinterpret their relationship. Later, he showcases French cuisine alongside China to appease the Pict, deemed "odd" by the aliens. His role reinforces his artistic flair, collaboration amidst rivalry with England, and participation in group efforts to restore normalcy.
