Description St. Vincent and the Grenadines
Grenada:[link]
Barbados:[link]
St. Lucia:[link]
Trinidad and Tobago:[link]

This was one of the leeward islands before and during the very beginning of colonization. I started randomly doodling one day and made this. Then as a challenge I asked my friend if she could draw the same thing in her chibi style. (mine is more blob 'cartoon' that chibi but...)

This one is the country of St. Vincent and the Grenadines with his modern day flag on show for you. How did he get it from the future you ask? Obeah. And I'm not going to tell you what that is.

Physical appearance:

Tanned skin ( that changes as Africans start coming into the country ) black hair and a curl that represents his portion of the Grenadines. He always wears his face paint and has a necklace made of the teeth of his most challenging kills (both human and animal) and a feather from his native parrot for good luck. Should his and Grenada's
hair curls get tangled for two long the physical personification of the Grenadines is (temporarily) born! Whom he takes care of, much to the displeasure of Grenada. He has the appearance of a six year old and Grenadines has the appearance of a toddler.

Personality:

He's calm, always looks angry and doesn't talk much at this stage but he is very strong (think America) and won't hesitate to use violence if he deems it necessary. This comes in handy when the Europeans tried to colonize him, making him one of the last places in the New World to be colonized. The super strength went away with age though. Grenadines is more hyper and happy.
People:

He was once settled by the Arawaks but many left him to go to the bigger islands more suitable for growing larger supply of crops. He feels betrayed by them and doesn't talk about them much.

Next came the Caribs who stayed with him and called him Hairoun (land of the Blessed). They protected him from settlement by the Europeans and played a great impact on his culture. Naturally he loves them.

There were the Garifuna, an entire race that started in St. Vincent with the mixing of Africans excaping from neighboring islands or from crashed ships that intermarried with the Caribs. They started two wars with the British to stop the island from being colonized later on. Unfortunately when the British won the second war they deported them off the island so they're are very little of them on the island today. But were not in that time-period yet.

Finally there are the Europeans whom he hates with a passion, especially the British. Except France who he views with caution but likes none the less (and whom he would come to hate). Before the second Carib war he thought all of them to be weak.


Relationship with other islands:

St. Lucia-
the two don't meet a lot but St. Lucia seems to see herself as his 'big sister.' This annoys him but he doesn't say anything about it and lets her have her way.

Barbados-
He sees her as a traitor because she welcomed British colonization with open arms and even seems to enjoy it! She takes England's side for everything which annoys him even more. They hate each other quietly at this point.

Grenada-
Mortal enemies. Vincent doesn't see Grenada as a threat and ignores him most of the time. To him Grenada is just a weak island a few miles south that tries, unsuccessfully, to take the Grenadines. (Both the curl and the girl)

Grenadines-
She is his little sister and treats her as such. He loves her more than everyone else and feels it his duty to protect her and make sure she is taken care of. He got VERY angry when the Europeans gave her away to Grenada when they came. (She secretly likes him more than Grenada but always avoids the conversation for politeness sake.)

Trinidad and Tobago-
Never met until they were all colonies a lot later on.

Well, that's it! more to come. You're welcome to take up the challenge and draw him in your own chibi style. If you do decide to do that though, please credit me and send me a link so I can see it! .
