ROMANO LOVINO VARGAS
-SOUTH ITALY-
 " Why do you always talk to that potato bastard?! CHIGI!"
Name: Romano Lovino Vargas
Origin: Rome, Italy
Gender: Male
Religion: Catholic
Orientation: Bisexual? No one's really sure any more...
Birthday: March 17
Age: 22
Languages spoken: Italian, Spanish (But he refuses to speak it)
Personality: Romano is all bark and no bite, most of the time. He'll mouth off a lot, but as soon as he's in danger, he's your average Italian, running away and hiding behind someone. He may act tough and such, but he's still a coward and will call for Spain when he's in a situation he can't get out of. He denies relying on Spain, liking Spain, or even having anything other than hostile feelings toward Spain, which is a load of lies, and everyone knows it, but he still does it.
Romano is easily scared by France, and is prone to running away from him, or hiding behind someone. He's equally scared of Turkey, and will simply keep as far away from him as he can. Not to mention, his first meeting with Argentina ended with him being just as scared as the others, and vowing to stay at least 20 feet away from her, and to never make her mad at him. However, he's since lost his fear of Eva and is much more comfortable around her, considering her his daughter, though he usually refuses to be called 'Mama' or 'Madre'.
Romano is addicted to tomatoes, thanks to Spain introducing them to him, and will often demand to get some, throwing fits if he doesn't get any. Then again, Romano will throw a fit about almost anything, so it's not that noteworthy, though some of his fits can get him in trouble if he's not careful, it really depends on who's around. Also, Romano is a master at making pasta sauces, and keeps a large collection of spices in his kitchen so he can experiment a lot.

Relationships:
NORTH ITALY: Romano is the older twin of the Italy brothers, and is often very harsh toward his brother for associating with Germany, accusing him of becoming 'macho' for eating wurst and potatoes, and yells at him a lot. Even so, Romano does care for his brother, and will do anything he can to keep him safe.
SPAIN: On the outside it seems like Romano utterly hates Spain, and will readily insult him and cuss him out, but in all reality, Romano relies on him, no matter how much he denies it. When Romano gets into a situation that he knows he can't get out of, or if he's scared out of his wits, his first reaction is to scream for Spain to come save him. Once the ordeal is over, he'll go back to his usual gig of denying everything. However, this has been abandoned for simply loathing everything about Spain since theirt big fiasco, and still holds bitter feelings about him.
FRANCE: Romano is terrified of France, similar to how Feliciano is scared of England, but less likely to run screaming if he thinks France is around. Instead, he'll get nervous and jumpy, and once he sees France, he's gone.
TURKEY: Ever since Turkey tried to kidnap him as a kid, he hasn't trusted him since, doing his best to stay as far away as he could from him, or hide behind Spain if he gets close. Romano doesn't like to admit a lot of things, but his fear for Turkey is very obvious.
GERMANY: Romano seems to have a grudge against Germany, or just hates him for no reason, no one's quite figured it out. As far as Romano is concerned, Germany is corrupting his brother and trying to make him big and muscled like the blond by feeding him wurst and potatoes, and Romano's most usual nickname for him is “Potato Bastard”.
PORTUGAL: Romano is nice(ish) to Portugal, since she is a woman, he is automatically nicer than he is toward men, however, thanks to her horribly embarrassing him when they first met, he's wary of her and partially treats her with the same rudeness as he treats guys, more likely to cuss around her than normal women. Still, he's been around so few women, thanks to Spain, he gets horribly shy when he IS around them, and Portugal is doing her best to get him more accustomed to being around girls again.
ARGENTINA: While Romano was under the impression that Eva was terrifying, he's since warmed up to her and, despite originally denying the title, now allows her to call him Mama, referring to her as his daughter. He's highly overprotective of her, and can get quite scary when defending her.
VENEZUELA: Romano also considers Alma to be his daughter, allowing her to call him Mama as well, and is glad that both of his girls are at his side throughout the problems he's trying to get through.
