четтирдим!! thank you for Tuva!!! as a person from this republic, I'm VERY interested in watching how my republic is portrayed. I want to add that we can be hot-tempered. and it seems to me that Tuva has an ambiguous attitude towards Russia. in Soviet times, there was no nationalism (?) from the stories of others and my family lol. so yeah an ambiguous attitude.

ahahaha sorry, I just madly love Tuva and when people talk about it.

(i just wanna see happy Russia and Tuva 😭)

AH HELLO!! Thank you so much for your kind words, and I would definitely agree with you that Tuva, who belongs to the lovely @irithnova, has a fiery side to him! When he's around people he doesn't know too well, he's more withdrawn and polite, but he's very proud of his traditions and culture and doesn't take insults lying down. He constantly gets into arguments with Mongolia over who throat sings better, and is notorious for being pretty crazy when drunk 😂 Him actually seriously losing his temper and blowing up is comparatively rare, though, so when it does happen it makes everybody in the room go:

As for his relationship with Russia, due to their history (of note are the circumstances that Tuva came to be annexed into the USSR) Tuva tends to be very distrustful of Russia, and tries to keep a low profile around him, given how the man's treated some of Tuva's neighbors >_> Russia for his part, doesn't really pay that much attention to Tuva beyond "has mineral resources" and "is poor" but once in blue moon does try to hang out with him, usually as part of wider efforts to ingratiate himself to the Siberian nations...

If I had to sum it up, Tuva prefers to mind his own business, so when Russia does actually remember he exists and actually seeks him out, he's pretty weirded out and wary of Russia's intentions, lol
