Turkey is best known as the successor to the Ottoman Empire—a passionate guy with dark hair, gold eyes, and olive skin who straddles the line between Europe and Asia both geographically and culturally. He's got that distinctive double-curled ahoge at the back of his neck, much like his rival Greece.
His personality is a mixed bag. He's genuinely merry, lively, and loyal with friends, but also stubborn, competitive, and nosy to a fault. He's a total showoff who treats entertaining tourists like a hobby and is constantly reinventing himself to stay relevant. There's an undeniable gourmet side to him—he's obsessed with sweets and baths, loads his coffee with sugar, and apparently never goes anywhere without apple juice on hand.
Historically, Turkey had imperial ambitions and terrified much of Europe. These days, ironically, he desperately wants to befriend those same European nations. The problem is his past, especially with Greece. He conquered Greece multiple times, and the two of them still can't stand being in the same room. They've called a truce, but fans note they'll probably never genuinely get along or stop competing. He also used to mess with Hungary and tried taking Romania until Spain shut that down.
One last detail: his human name, Sadık, means "loyal" in Turkish—fitting for someone who values loyalty above most things. He's also the only country that officially recognizes the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
