Movie
Description
Arthur Kirkland, also known as England, possesses distinctive features: messy short blond hair, sharp lime-green eyes, and notably bushy eyebrows humorously described as cursed into bushiness. His typical World War II attire includes a green military jacket, brown Sam Browne belt, green pants tucked into knee-high boots, and a slightly darker green tie. He matches France in height and presents a slender build.
Personality-wise, he cultivates a gentlemanly facade but exhibits deep cynicism, bluntness, and a sharp tongue, frequently employing British colloquialisms like "bloody" or "git." A strong believer in magic, fairies, and supernatural entities, he wields abilities to cast spells, summon creatures, and communicate with spirits across cultures, including Japanese youkai. Paradoxically, he ridicules others' beliefs, such as America's faith in aliens. His interests encompass embroidery, literature, rock music, and critiquing American films. He is notoriously poor at cooking, a trait that negatively influenced America's taste preferences. England displays a tsundere nature—outwardly harsh yet privately caring—and fiercely values his nation's pride. He experiences recurring emotional distress around July 4th, reflecting unresolved tensions from America's independence.
Historically, England operated as a pirate who tormented Spain before becoming America's guardian. He formed a deep bond with a young America, which fractured after the Revolutionary War. England surrendered upon finding himself unable to harm America, a loss leaving lasting emotional scars manifesting in drunken nostalgia and bitterness. He also governed Canada, who remained loyal during conflicts like the War of 1812 and cared for England during his post-Revolution illness.
His relationship with France is defined by centuries of rivalry, childhood teasing, and mutual respect, compelling them to cooperate against external threats despite frequent arguments. With Japan, he forged a friendship rooted in shared loneliness, admiring Japan's politeness and cultural elements like hot springs, though puzzled by Japan's inability to see spirits. He maintains strained yet protective ties with his brothers, including Sealand, whom he watches over despite constant bickering over micronation recognition.
During the events of *Paint it, White!*, England united with other nations to combat alien Pictonians invading Earth. Forced to partner with France infiltrating a spaceship, their arguments jeopardized the mission until England insisted they cease "bickering for bickering's sake" to survive. He later attempted to appease the aliens by offering his scones, but their disgust triggered an attack. His magical abilities and spirit communication played implicit roles in the broader effort to restore global color and happiness, culminating in a joint victory.
