Finland

About Finland

Finland (Suomen Tasavalta) Republic of Finland Capital: Helsinki Languages: Finnish, Swedish National Flower: Lily of the Valley Human Name: Tino Väinämöinen Finland's the cheerful Nordic guy who basically doesn't feel cold. He's got pale blonde hair and violet eyes—though the anime switched him to brown, and older artwork shows blue. Pretty much unfazed by northern European winters. Historically, he bolted from Denmark's place with Sweden and ended up terrified of him at first. Turns out Sweden's actually decent underneath, and they've been tight ever since. They even share a dog that Finland named Hanatamago. Sweden's openly gay and calls Finland his "wife," which Finland constantly denies, though it's clearly complicated. Personality-wise, he comes across as gentle, honest, and genuinely warm. He's the hardworking type, and weirdly strong when things get serious—definitely someone you want on your side. Most people peg him as shy and quiet, but honestly he's a talker once you get him going. He loves throwing bizarre festivals (his friend Estonia's usually in on it), sauna time, making jokes to cheer Sweden up, and salmiakki, that notoriously disgusting salty licorice that he somehow actually enjoys. He's also kind of the unofficial Santa Claus—Finland's mountains are where Santa's traditionally supposed to live, after all. Out of all the Nordics, though, he's had it rough. He's been through the wringer historically.
