Age: UnknownSeychelles is the main protagonist of the Gakuen Hetalia game and shows up regularly throughout the anime and manga. She's got dark brown hair and brown eyes in most recent depictions, though earlier artwork showed her with black hair and blue eyes instead. Her skin tone varies in the source material—the manga usually goes for a tan, while the official Gakuen Hetalia release and anime gave her fair skin.
France raised her, and in Gakuen Hetalia he's one of her potential love interests (though he was a "bad end" in the game's prototype). They're close enough that he visits her sometimes, but Seychelles finds him genuinely gross—he's tried unwrapping her clothes under the excuse of checking how she's grown since childhood, which. yeah. Her other love interest is England, the student council president, who literally collared her and made her his colony the moment they met. The game plays this love triangle for drama, but the manga hints that Seychelles actually holds real resentment toward England for how he's treated her.
Personality-wise, she's basically a good-natured country girl with a tsundere streak. The big thing about Seychelles is that she's completely dependent on imports—she's got almost no natural resources and relies on everyone else's input for food and cooking ideas. She worries constantly about her absurdly high cost of living and the fact that nobody really knows she exists out in the Indian Ocean. She's a bit disorganized too. Tourism brings in some cash, and France and England stop by occasionally, so she manages okay despite everything. Her voice and language are distinctive—this weird mix of English, French, and other languages that fans describe as "mysterious." There's a running gag about her being obsessed with fish; she's constantly holding one in pictures.
In the original prototype, she lived with her grandfather. One of the series' best moments happens when it's revealed that the island where the Axis and Allies got shipwrecked is actually Seychelles herself—she's just watching them from a distance in her anime debut, wondering how the hell they ended up there.
Fun detail: early artwork gave her mismatched eyebrows (one thick, one thin), probably a nod to her colonial past under both Britain and France.
