Appearance
Australia's character design consists of him having thick eyebrows along with an adhesive bandage (band-aid) across his nose. He appears to have a hairstyle similar to Austria's (but with two ahoge instead of one), that references tot he similar English spellings of their nation names. He owns a pet koala and in most of his appearances he appears to wear a WW1-era Australian Digger uniform.
Personality and Interests
Australia appears to be somewhat of a 'boisterous bruiser', often seen messing around with other countries in fanon pictures. This is because Australians are typically seen as laid-back and outgoing people. He is seen close to Arthur Kirkland (England), Alfred F. Jones (America), Wang Yao (China) and Kiku Honda (Japan) because of military alliances, government agreements etc. He is a rather free-spirited person and proud of the fact that he is a free country and is his own continent. He is used to hot, dry seasons and loves to go to the beach.
Australia is a well-educated person as he received 11 years of compulsory education from the ages of 6-16 (Years 1 to 10) before he undertook two more years (Years 11 and 12), where he went on to University. However, University is quite expensive in Australia so he just managed to pull through the basic 4-year course.
Some of his interests include swimming, surfing, rugby (union and league), AFL, cricket, netball and soccer. He is absolutely fantastic at swimming and surfing, and is rather good at rugby and netball. AFL is 'indigenous' to his country and so of course he would be far better than the other countries at it.
He absolutely loves animals. Even though the world's deadliest stringray, octopus, fish, crocodile, shark, snake and spider live in his country, he's all right with them; although he's scared of the stingray because Steve Irwin was killed by one and that made basically his whole country terrified.
Relationships
Arthur Kirkland (England) - Being a former British colony, Australia respects him and is shown to see him as a father figure. He faithfully fought alongside him in both World Wars and several other minor wars, and to this day they still remain on good terms with each other, although it's mainly because Australia is run by England in terms of government and politics so it kind of comes with the package.
Kaelin Kirkland (New Zealand) - New Zealand and Australia have a sibling-like relationship and they are very close.
Alfred F. Jones (America) - Since Australia is a close ally of America's, he tends to be dragged into a lot of things, such as wars. However, they still remain good friends. When America suffered the bulk of the Global Financial Crisis, however, Australia was fine as he could rely on his mining industry and low debt to pull him through. America is still suffering a bit to this day, although occassionally Australia will help him along.
Ludwig (Germany) - Despite fighting each other in WWI and WWII, Australia and Germany are on good terms with each other.
Yao Wang (China) - China and Australia are quite good friends. This is mainly because China buys all of Australia's uranium and Australia imports a lot of Chinese products. .
Lovino Vargas (Italy) - Australia, New Zealand and Italy often hang out with each other and they enjoy each others' company. Since most Australian children have to learn a LOTE (Language Other Than English), one-third of them choose Italian. Australia and Italy speak Italian often when New Zealand is around to annoy him/her.
Netherlands - Even though the Dutch arrived in Australia before the British, they didn't stick around for very long as they arrived in Western Australia, basically where desert meets ocean, and Australia resents Netherlands for that.
