PERSONALITY • Belgium is a mature and cheerful nation. She loves to cook and talk to her friends -when she isn't being a wall flower. When she isn't cooking, she's cleaning or playing. Yes, playing. Belgium loves children, children are the future. So they say. Belgium can be a bit scary at times -but only when she's seriously fighting or having a 'lovers' quarrel" with her best friend. Well, if you pick on children, that will also upset the woman.

Depending on her mood she can be loud and rambunctious -if she feels comfortable. Or timid and meek when she's being shy. Belgium is easily pushed around because of her more submissive nature -mostly by Netherlands and Luxembourg.

Even with as positive as she is and as mature, she can easily break into tears at being bullied. But when it comes to things that truly matter, things that make her eyes sting -she hides herself from the world. Letting them see her childish tears is okay, but she dreads the idea of them seeing her heart-broken tears.

( Did you hear your favorite song )
just one last time..

[/b] A young Belgium snuck out of bed and poked her head out the door. Seeing no one, she tip-toed down the hall and made her way to the kitchen, followed by a young Netherlands. Bel rummaged around in the fridge, collecting eggs and milk from it and then she searched around for the flour and oil and a little baking powder. What, you ask, could Bel be doing? Making waffles of course! She wanted to give them to Canada as an offering for friendship. Bel mixed the ingrediants prepared the waffle maker.

After each one was done she sat it in the small picnic basket she had brought into the kitchen with her. She didn't notice until three of them were gone -Netherlands was stealing her waffles! Bel jumped from the stool and fisted her small hands up infront of her mouth before waving them around, angrily. She sprinted toward Netherland -who seemed to be mocking her, trying to scare him out of the kitchen. She turned and ran back to making her waffles without finding out if it worked.

Whether it worked or not, no more of her waffles were stolen. She managed to safely deliver a basket of waffles to Canada's door-step, but she didn't go in or wait for him, she ding-dong ditched them on his door-step, leaving before anyone would reach the door. She was certain Canada would know it was her who made them -if not there was a card inside the basket with the waffles that said 'Let's be friends!' with a smiley face.
