Welp, I've been busy these days...so much Mystery Skulls! I have almost abandoned my Hetalia fanfictions because I am so busy making doodles and drabbles for the Ghost Gang. ^_^"
Anyway, while browsing some writing blogs, I decided to try and make a thorough character study based on my character Fern. I tried to make it delve as far as I possibly could into her personality quirks OUTSIDE her rather dark past, and try to focus on her interests, habits, and mannerisms. So please enjoy!

- Type: ESTJ
- Home: Before moving to Adventure City and living in the castle with Ryn and Sonic, Fern actually had a small traditional house in Chun’nan. It is still her property, but she almost never really stayed there long enough to really call it “home”. She sometimes does take time out to just go back and stay by herself in the house, but in the end she misses her friends too much and always comes back early. On the outside, her house would look like this. The inside would look like this, and her room would be like this.
- Eyes: Unlike Sonic’s emerald green eyes or Amy’s bright green ones, Fern’s eyes are the color of fresh lime juice. Her eyes have this unusual tendency to sparkle when in perfect light, which makes her look really pretty. She doesn’t realize how pretty her eyes really are, but still doesn’t like it when Sonic accidentally calls her eyes “limeade-colored”.
- Hair: Fern does take good care of her hair, but doesn’t think much about styling it. She used to wash it in the waterfalls by her old house, and whatever was in the water made her hair really clean. It feels like silk and is really long, and she never really thinks about cutting it. She also feels very attached to her sidetails.
- Clothes: Fern didn’t like dresses at all when she was a kid, and still didn’t like them much when she met Ryn and reunited with Sonic. However, once Chip had been resealed and the team “started over”, Fern decided to start wearing dresses and fancier wear as a sign she changed.
- Animals: Fern has a big attachment to pandas. Mostly because they remind her of Sky Island, where there were a lot of pandas. She once raised a baby panda as a kid, named Meronpan. She misses him to this day. (Sonic is planning to get her another panda for Christmas, though.) In general, though, Fern adores animals and doesn’t like to hurt them, even when they scare her.
- Accent: When Fern first left Sky Island and started mingling more in Asia, she started developing a bit of a Japanese accent and speaks in Kansai dialect. She still kind of rolls R’s unintentionally and puts accents on L’s more than necessary.
- Food: Despite her skinny figure and usual airiness, Fern really does love food. While her favorite would have to be coconuts (anything coconut: ice pops, candies, cakes, cream pies, milk, etc.), she also enjoys fish (especially fatty tuna and yellowtail), red meat, and apples. She also tends to be one of those people that will try absolutely anything, like grilled pork guts or something. However, she is allergic to peaches.
- Instruments: Fern plays electric guitar in the team’s band, but has mastered other instruments. She is decent at drums and piano, but she’s actually very skilled at the erhu. She learned it from an old monk in Chun’nan, and sometimes plays when she’s really stressed.
- Worry: When Fern worries, she worries. She often spends a lot of time thinking about the person she’s worried about, and sometimes can’t sleep because she’s so terrified they’re in need. Of course, due to her Tsundere nature, she never admits that she does so.
- Voice: Fern’s voice’s main trait is that it constantly changes pitch. Her voice isn’t rough or scratchy, but not exactly feminine (think of Natsumi Hinata’s voice). When she’s mad or yelling, it gets lower, but when she’s excited or being inquisitive, it gets higher.
- Theme Songs: When it comes to Fern, her themes are usually some brand of Asian electronica (such as Izure Ayame Kakakitsubata or TSUBAKI). Because Fern is a rather complex but very fiery person combined with her involvement in Asian culture, I thought Fern’s themes and battle BGM would be some sort of Chinese/Japanesque sort of music (such as mixing erhu or traditional-style with dubstep or electro house).
- Body: Fern’s body certainly is unique. She’s not that tall for her age, but the way her limbs are you’d get the impression that she is. Her arms and legs are really long and sort of lanky, and they give her a loose impression when she waves her arms or lets her arms swing as she walks. Figure-wise, she’s hourglass-shaped, and sometimes feels self-conscious around the other girls for having a more curvy figure than most.
- Nationality and Culture: Fern is, in all essence, totally Asian. We’re not actually aware of where exactly in Asia she came from (because she does practice some Chinese customs but also practices Japanese martial arts and has knowledge of both cultures), but no matter where she’s from she is supposed to be a Chinese/Japanese sort of mix. In a way, Fern sometimes feels a little embarrassed that she acts more Asian than the Milky Twins (who are from Hokkaido).
- Religion: Fern isn’t the most religious around, but she does believe in something. She currently practices Shintoism, but according to her she used to be a Taoist (but gave it up after running away from the army).
- Dragons: Fern has always been absolutely awed by Chinese dragons. To her, they embody true godliness, and she always dreamed of being in the presence of one. Sonic enjoys commenting on her “oriental mindset” because of this.
- Blood Type: Fern has AB blood.
- Handwriting: Because Fern does do calligraphy from time to time, her handwriting is sort of swishy.
- Combat: Fern is strictly a hand-to-hand combat person. Her tuition of samurai technique has made her extremely lithe and almost graceful in her movements, which aids her a lot in her attacks. She’s especially good at using bladed weapons (mostly her leaves and katanas) but has used daggers, naginatas, and scythes. She just can’t use a battle axe or halberd for the life of her.
- Hobbies: Fern does a number of things for pleasure when she’s got nothing to do in particular. Because she enjoys travelling, she often collects postcards from numerous location and puts them in a box in her room (most of them are either from China or from Thailand). Even though Fern doesn’t think of herself as an artist, she also occasionally draws comics or paints pictures when she feels inspiration. Once in a while, she even takes things from Kululu’s labs and attempts to teach herself mechanics, even though it never was her strong point.
- Quirks: Fern, when she’s calm, is actually a very strange but very interesting person. When she’s not engaged in some sort of conversation (especially with Sonic), she tends to reveal a lot of her rather strange mannerisms and interests. When Fern is bored, she’ll sometimes read books upside-down or try to read backwards to entertain herself (and it works). She also talks to herself a lot and occasionally to plants if there’s no one in the room to watch her do so.
- Pokemon: In-TWA-universe, Fern does enjoy playing Pokemon. She’s doesn’t like to admit it to Sonic, though, that she thinks the Pokemon are extremely adorable and she’d love to have one for real. In Poke-verse, though, Fern is an extraordinary leaf-type trainer; she loves her pokemon like they were her own children, and they love her back just as much (if not more for some).
- Her Pokemon Team:
- Leafeon (Haru, male, Careful nature) - Fern caught the Eevee once when exploring a bush in her early days, and also ended up fighting over it with Sonic to catch it. When it turned out to be a Leafeon, Fern took it in as her favorite and named it after the season she found it in--spring. Haru may or may not like her as more than a mother.
- Meloetta (Utau, female, Gentle nature) - Fern was led to finding the Meloetta one night during a campout and saw her singing in a tree. Fern managed to gently coax the pokemon down and caught her before asking if she wanted to accompany her as her Pokemon. Utau has been Fern’s best friend along with Haru.
- Phantump (Yuu-Yuu, male, Bold nature) - Fern encountered the Phantump during a festival, where he attempted to scare her. When the attempt failed, Fern remarked on it’s cuteness and decided to catch it, eventually befriending it.
- Ralts (Odoru, female, Timid nature) - A tiny Ralts Fern found stuck in a thorny bush. After nursing it back to health, the Ralts became so awed by Fern that it followed her everywhere afterwards, even calling her something like “mama”. Fern caught it after giving in, and has become a mother figure to it ever since.
- Zygarde (Nazonazo, male, Mild nature) - Fern actually fought the Zygarde before capturing it when it ambushed her on a path. The Zygarde found her to be a worthy opponent and became her Pokemon. It might be...tsundere towards her.
- Froslass (Oujo, female, Relaxed nature) - Fern found the pokemon when adventuring in the mountains with Sonic. The Froslass caught off guard and she caught it, only realizing how useful it would be to have one. Froslass is the only one that actually frustrated Fern.
- Linguistics: Fern does a bit of a talent for linguistics. With English as her main tongue, she is fluent in Japanese (speaks in Kansai) and Mandarin Chinese. She also knows a reasonable amount of Thai and Vietnamese, but Cantonese and Taiwanese are two languages she has trouble with. As for European languages, she knows enough conversational French, Italian, and German to get through a day.
