Summary

Known officially as the French Republic, with Paris serving as its capital, this character is represented by the human name Francis Bonnefoy. He stands at 175 cm tall and appears to be 26 years old, celebrating his birthday on July 14th, which coincides with the national flower, the Iris. Defined by an infinite well of pride and a deep appreciation for beauty, he has endured a cycle of strength, decline, and renewed weakness that has persisted since his early days. His relationship with England is rooted in their shared history; although they grew up together, France was a teenager when England was still a young child. He took great delight in teasing the younger nation, and while they constantly argue and compete over trivial matters, they are capable of collaborating when necessary. Italy views France as a big brother, addressing him as such despite them fighting on opposing sides during World War II. While Italy is affectionate toward him, Romano despises him, often hiding behind Germany, who he also dislikes, whenever France makes an appearance. Additionally, France serves as a brotherly figure to Monaco and was the one who raised Seychelles. Francis is notably dirty-minded and perverted, seizing every opportunity to make suggestive comments or advances toward anyone regardless of sex or gender. His hobbies include wine, singing, agriculture, fashion design, sketching, and touring art museums and boutiques. He firmly refuses to learn English, claiming that French is the most beautiful language in the world. Despite his confidence, he openly admits to being terrified of computers, as well as Germany, Switzerland, Russia, and an enraged England. His surname Bonnefoy translates to good faith, while Francis means Frenchman; originally, the creator Hidekaz Himaruya had considered the name Jean Epine for the character before changing it.
