✖ My headcanon handwriting font for Lithuania is Felt Tip Woman Regular. It's scrawly enough to be a quick note taking type of handwriting and a little masculine, but clean enough to look official and slightly feminine in it's delivery. It's a decent, legible medium.

✖ When Lithuania was younger, all he could really do was fight to survive and ended up becoming extremely mature for his age and serious very fast. Until the Krewo union, he had no real peer relationships and didn't really know how to act like a kid. Poland was the first person that he could actually get close too and he taught him to relax and to have fun in an environment that was relaxing and free. ✖ Although he looks youthful, Lithuania's hands give away some of his age. Having worked hard all his life, he's got his share of scars and calluses on his palms and fingers. He doesn't mind except they'll hurt on some days, but it's not anything he can't handle; pain isn't a huge deal to him. Living with Poland, though, he gets irritated that his hands look a mess. He'll put lotion on them when he remembers but it's a lost cause. ✖ Lithuania doesn't really put much effort into his hair. He shampoos it when he showers, of course, and he'll brush it, but he doesn't put nearly as much effort into it as most people. It normally looks sloppy but he doesn't mind. There's bigger things to worry about. ✖ He still maintains a close relationship with America, partially because his friends live at America's house, but also because they do get along well and have a close friendship and can understand each other on certain levels. They'll meet up alone, on occasion, for lunch or just inviting one over to the others house, but it's really easy for them to fall back into their old roles as master and man-servant. When he or America leaves, Lithuania always has to stop and look back on how he spent the evening complying with America and serving him and shake his head at himself. ✖ Lithuania is still a nation that enjoys his old traditions, though some old ideals embarrass him. He enjoys being around in a time that's a lot more modern and accepting since his people are happy. ✖ Even though he's proved to be a strong country throughout his lifetime, Lithuania's self esteem isn't the best. He's submissive and unsure of himself still. He's rarely been truly independent until recently so he'll have a hard time being completely sure of some of the decisions he makes and of his ability to be good at this whole thing. He's getting better about it though, and he finds himself becoming more confident as the years go by. ✖ Lithuania works a pretty rigorous schedule, normally going from Monday to Saturday with unpredictable hours. Normally he'll try to keep Sundays off for church and a day to catch up on house work. It's been shown he blows of work for Poland on occasion, but this is an extremely rare thing, only if Poland requests it vehemently, and he's never really happy about it until he's finally relaxing and God, does that feel good every once in a while. ✖ He hates to kill and see people die. Of course, he's seen his fair share of bloodshed, but he was never happy about it. Now-a-days, he's in a position where it isn't necessary and he's perfectly okay with that. ✖ Lithuania is a virgin. Not only does he have no time (nor can he find the elusive opportunity) for romance as of late, but he's also extremely old-fashioned. Just holding hands elates him, let alone anything more intimate. That alone is a close, personal gesture. It would take MANY years before he could even comprehend having sex with someone, even someone he was currently seeing. ✖ Touching him isn't really the best idea. He's fine with the little things, ie: hand shakes, bumps, grazes, etc. Anything more makes him jump. Hugs are a little too up close and personal for him to really appreciate them fully unless it's given by one of a number of select people and is something he's expecting. Sneaking up on him is exceptionally violating to Lithuania. He'll freeze up and have a hitch in his breath, panic settling in, until he's calm enough to be assured it's a good touch, and not a bad one. The reaction may vary depending on the giver. ✖ While Lithuania is cheap and a penny pincher in these budding economic times, he does treat himself every once in a while to a new model of something he uses all the time: his cellphone. Because he uses it so often, for both work and personal reasons, he'll get a newer model for ease of use and the changing times. He's picky with the phones he does choose, though, and they're all still extremely practical, but they're obviously modern in both performance and look. He's loving this iphone thing America has going on. He pretty much one upped Japan on this one. ✖ He's also a really fast and accurate texter. Not to mention pretty good at being secretive about it. It takes skill to swiftly dispel Polish advances while all of the Seimas is watching you. He does understand, though, that texting is supposed to be fast so sometimes he'll leave out a comma or punctuation here or there. When he's sitting down and typing, he takes more time, but texting is personal, so that's not as big a deal. ✖ Lithuania knows a lot of different dances, including old traditional dances, waltzes, and more modern dances. Living with America in the 20's exposed him to a lot of culture, not all of which he adapted, but he did absorb a lot of it. He can pull a mean foxtrot, if only he had someone to dance with. ✖ He has a decent expanse of knowledge on martial arts, but no belts or credentials to back it up. He's not so much into the practice but more so the theory and meaning of it. It's all about being calm and tranquil and at peace with yourself and gaining strength from it. What more could he ask for? It's extremely relaxing to even think about and kind of a faith booster. ✖ Lithuania takes deep pride in his national diet. He loves to make food and feed it to people and it really sets the fire under his ego when he sees people enjoy it. Not only are they enjoying a part of his heritage, but something he put effort into. He also enjoys other countries food and taking things from other cultures to mix with his own cuisine. Cooking for America brought him a lot of joy and introduced him to a lot of combinations and ideas. ✖ A good date to him would be going out to dinner (not homemade; too much, too fast). Good food, a beautiful person, conversation. It's pretty much bliss. If you're courting him, expect hundreds of these kinds of dinners before you get anywhere near a base. Slow and steady wins the race, after all! Although it hasn't really worked so far. ✖ Quietly rips off twins headcanon. Occasionally, he'll find Poland attractive and it kind of makes him blink a second. It's more so like a Pygmalion complex where he's become so accustomed to his face that he could look at him and think certain things that aren't really what's expected when you look at your best friend. He felt the same way about America too when he lived with him, though it didn't happen quite as often since they didn't become as close and didn't spend nearly was much time together. He waves it all off, though. He doesn't have a problem with the idea of being with either of them, but he's just way into Belarus to take any of it as more than a passing fancy. ✖ Normally when the above happens, Lithuania will just kind of fall asleep as he does when he finds anything especially comforting and appealing. Narcolepsy is also his natural line of defense. When something triggers too many certain brain signals, his body really isn't prepared to handle it mentally or emotionally, and he's out like a light. ✖ Lithuania likes to grab asses and touch all up on booties, especially fatter, Polish ones.
