The idea of one personification for Gaul is tricky because, like I said in this post , the different Gaulish tribes were conscious of belonging to a same sort of "nation" (not the same way we define it now), like they knew they were similar and belonging to an approximate geographical area, but they felt different from each other in a way.

My idea for a (Celtic) Gaul OC is a woman (I can't picture her as anything but that) who likes to travel between her different tribes and territory. She feels free this way, and it's a sentiment that she enjoys very much. I saw over the years that a lot of people saw Gaul as "feral," and while the idea seems interesting, I don't really know. I feel like in Rome's eyes, she'd definitely be feral, but would she be like almost ""savage""? What would that mean ? Eh. However, she knows how to fight. Her people did have a society that loved their warriors after all. But she also liked the calmness of nature. She could be quite the solitary woman in some ways. She was also very close with the average people, not only with the aristocracy. She often crashed at their houses, ate with them, and took part in working on farms sometimes as well.

She has a lot of children, they each represent a tribe. Because of how much they are, she can't have a close relationship with a lot of them, and while they are her biological children, she'd only really know those who are from the most prominent tribes (The Aeduii, the Remii,...). The other kids are usually closer to their siblings from tribes theirs interact with the most or are clients of. She believed it was better for her children to be raised independently from her so that 1. they wouldn't be too attached to her if something happened to her and 2. so they could enjoy the same sense of freedom she liked. She thought that since her people took care of her children, they'd be fine without seeing her for months, even years. It's not that she didn't love or care for them. She absolutely did in her own way, and so did her children.

Talking of children, I see France as one of her many biological children. Which tribe was he from? It doesn't matter (I haven't thought about it). For now, because I can't see how to reconcile both France being Gaul's kid and Gaul having a child for each tribe in any other way, I see this as what happened in regards to why he seems to be the only one left. Let's just say that he got "lucky". Gaul died shortly after 52BCE and her children slowly followed suit until they were only a few one. France managed to get close enough to Rome that he could survive easily with his favour, and so that's how he outlived all his children. This might have made him feel guilty a little bit, he felt as if he was betraying his family. But still being a kid and not wanting to leave no trace of his family, that's what he did. Then Germania killed Rome eventually, he brought France over to the Franks and so on and so on...

Back to Gaul, she had 2 or 3 other siblings. Belgae is definitely her closest sibling. He is slightly crazier than his sister, but she doesn't mind. She has/had Transalpina as another sibling, I don't know it if either died following being made a Roman Province or not, I haven't thought about it that much. As for Aquitania, I also don't really know if they are really related to the Gauls. From what I read, they seemed way more different than the rest of Gaul, so yeah.

Her relationship with Rome was... interesting. She had an interest in him. Not necessarily romantic, but she was intrigued by his people, his culture, and his goods. They were rivals, ever since the sack of Rome, actually. Her favourite thing to do when see him is tease him. But she was mostly suspicious of him. When Transalpina became a Roman province, she started being wary of him expanding onto her territory. However, at the beginning of the Gallic Wars, she only realised what Rome (or Caesar, but anyway) was trying to do and to what extent he went too late to stop it immediately. She was fully for Vercingetorix's counterforce, but they lost. She tried to escape but was caught. Rome emprisoned her for having taken part in Alesia, but he didn't have her killed. As she realised she might never get her full freedom again, she decided to kill herself and be free instead of living under bars for who knows how long (very shakespearian, I know 💃). As for her children, they were each caught, and as the Gauls became Gallo-Romans, at some point, only one was left.

While France didn't have many occasions to be close to his mom, he only had good memories of her. And one that stuck with him was how close she liked to be with her people. He doesn't miss her as often as one would think as he had been used to her absence even in her life. But when, in recent centuries, his people started putting the spotlight on the Gauls, he started to become a little nostalgic. It felt gratifying to hear that his people from today (French) regarded his people from his early childhood (Gauls) as their ancestors, it was sort of validating, even if he knew very well why this interestet grew. I like to picture him talking to historians about daily life in gaul or to linguist about the gaulish language and then suddenly sidetracking to make a whole speech on his mom and how free and inspiring and happy she was.

What would her name be though? I don't know yet...

The three children of Gaul. During their time in the Roman Empire, they were known as Gallia Aquitania (left), Gallia Narbonensis/Transalpina (Right), and Gallia Lugdunensis (center). After the fall of Rome and the rise of the Frankish Kingdoms, they became Aquitaine, Provence, and Neustria. When the Kingdom of West Francia fell into decline as the Capet family rose to power, Neustria would arise to become the Kingdom of France.

Life was never easy for these three siblings. After living as slaves in Rome's household, they and their mother Gaul suffered under West Francia's control. The three siblings eventually got torn apart as Aquitaine and Provence were determined to become their own nations while little France just wanted his family to stay together. In his attempts to reunite them, France ended up causing Aquitaine to become a close ally of England and eventually her during the 100 Years' War. Provence managed to stay independent for a long time, but was ultimately reduced to a near-mortal state and died in the plague of 1720 in Marseille. Before she died, though, Provence had a daughter, the Principality of Monaco.

Fantastic paragraph.

Trans and cis are also literally latin words.

Hello.

Cis- means "over here" trans- means "over there". What today is nothern italy used to be called "Gallia Cisalpina". What today is france was "Gallia Transalpina". Before the mountains/over the mountains.

I know that arguing with fascists about words and shit means nothing. But this is not for them, this is some fun little trivia for my over the mountains tumblr girlies 💜
