Arella can be calm and in a good mood at times. However, she may say things that people might take the wrong way. When her anger sets in, she usually curses to herself and may have a few outbursts. But, she is a nice person to be around, you just have to get to know her first. Yet, she does have a hard time trusting people.
Judaism is the official religion in Israel. And, although she does keep in touch with modern society, she keeps her celebrations traditional as possible.
In Israel, it is required, by law, for women to serve two years in the military. Arella was no exception to this law. Yet, she still serves the military in combat or in nursing.

Relations with other characters/Brief History:
Palestine: They haven't had a good wrap for these past 64 years, ever since she became a country and supposedly took his land. But, the relationship was further strained when the PLO began to attack Northern Israel in 1982. This also includes the Palestinian uprising against Israel. However, in 1993, the Oslo treaty was signed to recognize PLO's and Israel's each other's existence. They still trade attacks.

Empires: For 100's of years, Israel has been conquered by many different empires. From the Roman Empire to Muslim rule, and from the Ottoman Empire to British control.

Germany: Between Israel and Germany, I would like to call their relationship "special" because of WWII. And, even though Germany tortured Israel in the most sadistic ways back in Auschwitz, Israel pushes the past aside. Because of that, Germany and Israel have become quite good allies.

Great Britain: GB has to be one of Israel's first allies that had recognized her as a country in the late 1940's. GB had also approved to create the State of Israel. They remain good friends to this day.

Egypt: Between Israel and Egypt, their relationship have always been war with each other. This includes the Egyptian invasions of the Six-Day War and the Yom-Kippur. However, in 1978, the two countries signed a peace treaty called the Camp David Accords. Although they are allies, their relationship is still strained to this day.

America: For America and Israel, America has always had her back, through good times and bad. The relationship began when America and his platoon liberated Auschwitz and, as time passed, their relationship grew. Both are good allies and friends to each other.

Any other thoughts on said character:
Will sometimes have her nose in a book.
She will most likely wear a pair jeans and a t-shirt, since it does get hot in Israel. Sometimes, she would wear a head scarf to have some shade for her eyes. She will also wear a Star of David around her neck.
