[Nyotalia] Greenland ref sheet

Description

right okay onto our next one which is Greenland and yes, this bio had been plan out for a long while! Now before anyone starts to comment;

Do not say that Greenland is canon or Hima already sketched Greenland! yes I am aware of this and I don't care!



So anyway, I guess I should start with why I pick a female over a male for Greenland;

Why I prefer Greenland as a female
So before we start I'm just going to say; please don't use these reasons to make your GL OC a female or male -

Why people make Greenland a girl? 'oh lol because Hetalia needs more girls and it's completely okay.'
Why people make Greenland a boy? 'because I feel awkward to see a girl living with a bunch of guys so I think a male could suite for Greenland.'; despite the fact that Greenland lives far away from the Nordics anyway, having Hungary, Belgium, Liechtenstein, Ukraine, Belarus and Czech Republic living with a bunch of guys yet those nations are female.

So please, don't use these reasons to make a nation a female or male because that is a bunch of load.

Anyway, if you wonder my reason I pick a female to represent Greenland. It is due to Greenland's people referring to the country as 'the lady of snow' and 'white haired motherland' which I'm not sure how a male!Greenland would respond to being refer to as a female a lot of times. Also the national anthem is something I notice with this as well;

'Our country, which has become so old your head is all covered with white hair.
Always held us, your children, in your bosom and gave us the riches of your coasts.

As middle children in the family we blossomed here Kalaallit,
we want to call ourselves before your proud and honourable head.

Humbleness is not the course, Kalaallit wake up and be proud!
A dignified life is our goal; courageously take a stand.'

The part is bolded is referring to children and pretty much a women's chest so it made me consider a female would fit this country a lot better for me.

Now I know people will think if the rights are bad, well actually that isn't the case with Greenland.

'Gender roles among Greenlandic Inuit are flexible; however, traditionally men hunt and women prepare the meat and skins. Most marriages are by choice, as opposed to arranged, and monogamy is commonplace. Extended families are extremely important to Inuit society'
source

while yes, men tend to prepare the meals more often the roles can change based on situation and kinship is quite important to the Inuits.

Now does this mean that a male!Greenland is bad? no! this is more based on preference then anything, as say a male could represent Greenland as much as a female can and gender roles in Greenland are quite flexible so a male or female could work for Greenland either way.
