Dedicated to silvervampiress because it was technically her brother who sparked the idea for this pic... and possibly a series of pics to come from this, hence the "part 1" in the title. But then he's been giving me a lot of inspiration these days, darn it. I should probably start paying him as my IRL muse.

So, Rae (SV) and her siblings, mainly her and T (the brother), when they play Brawl... well, ever since I got them all into Hetalia, they have named Marth Japan, Ike China, and the Ice Climbers Sweden and Finland (there are others they've categorized in this way too, but these were the first, er, three?). While the latter are kind of obvious... yeah, Marth = Japan was mainly 'cause I guess he looks like him when you mess around with costume colors in Brawl and change his colors to white. Ike, well, you'll have to ask them. But see, the first two didn't really affect me(except a prompt to draw Japan with bunny ears), when he mentioned the SuFin = Ice Climbers bit, my art fairies wouldn't leave me alone.

... wow. I think I've just made a new record for longest artist's comment I've written.
