Answer questions 1-5 &15 OOC and 6-14 IC
1: What is your OC’s human name and which country/city/state does it represent?
Alegria Delphia Solana Xalbadora Imaculada Antonioz de Castillo, Toledo, España
2: What is that character’s personality and how does it correspond to the country you wish to roleplay?
No longer the imperial capital of Spain, Toledo is the capital of Castile- la Mancha. This elevates her ego, of course. But she’s sneaky with showing it. Alegria is a very nice person, so long as you let her keep talking. When she was the capital of Imperial Spain, Toledo was one of the most culturally tolerant places around, housing Christians, Muslims, and Jews with no problem. Even today, the Alcázar and the Cathedral still sit near each other. She has a lot to brag about, but all of it is humanitarian. If you’re stuck in an elevator with her you might hear how her summer was spent with a remote African tribe learning that life is all for the living and not about petty desires and how you’ll never get to learn that lesson because you’ve never been to live with a remote African tribe. Mostly she knows so much because she’s afraid one day she wont know something and look stupid in front of people.
She probably knows more than you do, and she’ll say so. A lot.
3: What are their relationships with other countries?
She’s pretty much good at connecting with any other country, whether they like it or not. She’s closer to the Arab world than the rest of her family.
4a: How much do you know about the history of your character? Give us a little backstory on him/her.
Like many European higher-uppers, Toledo was populates since the bronze age and only came into prominence when the romans came to town. After the Romans left, it was the capital Visigoth Spain, then viciously taken from them by Moorish Spain beginning in the 8th century, and called Tulaytulah, their capital. This began the golden age of religious tolerance, called La Convivencia, the coexistence. When that caliphate fell, Toledo was the center of combat between Christians and Muslims of northern Spain. By 1085, Alfonso VI of Castile directly controlled Toledo, ending the muslim rule. Arab libraries were never destroyed, and in Toledo books were translated from Arabic to Hebrew to Spanish or Latin, and the knowledge spread all throughout literate Europe.
During the 16th century, it was the capital of Castile, and had already housed many great artists, writers, and philosophers like
Al-Zarqali, Garcilaso de la Vega, Eleanor of Toledo, Alfonso X, and El Greco ((the best out of all these B) ))
The city was never really a fan of that whole Inquisition thing. But she couldn’t predict it if she didn’t expect it.
And during the 1500’s the capital of castile switched to Madrid, that’s when Vienna came into the picture. She still blames her for that.

10: You see a student with a broken leg?! What do you do?
At what age were you taught how to walk? And how many years of practice have you had at it since then? Yeah, that was a waste. Get yourself to a nurse.
