springsheroBasically, Fem!America is taking on the role of Persephone, Queen of the Underworld and wife of Hades in Greek Mythology.
She has some power over plants and flowers, and can make boxes filled with beauty. And, she has superhuman strength.
Otherwise, other than extreme devotion to her mother and to her husband she doesn't vary much from other Americas. She's bright, obsessed with being heroic and the center of attention, and loves to eat.
While it's just loose who goes where in the entire pantheon, I have the basic set up as this.
Hades is Russia. He's a weird, lonely God King of the Underworld. Other than other residents of his realm, who resent him, his only friend is his wife.
Demeter is Fem!England. A goddess of magic, harvests, and huge tantrums where she punishes people not even involved in what's pissing her off. Mother of Persephone, her daughter is the most important thing to her.
Zeus is probably France. Randy ruler of gods and mortals.
Hermes is either Estonia or China. Messenger of the gods and all around an alright guy, he's the one that finds a way to help Hades keep Persephone by feeding her three pomegranate seeds.
That's all I can think of for now! Put any thoughts or questions in this post and I'll get back to you when I can!

Apollo is a little harder for me to cast, and in the Hetalia DR I played in, I just cast Austria as Apollo because of the music and art connection usually made with the god, as well as Artemis being quoted as loving him the most in some texts.
Monaco and Seychelles being Athena is pretty good, though maybe Monaco more than Sey. In the DR, I went ahead with Fem!Germany because it still fit the idea of Wisdom and Warfare and set up a good counterpoint with more gung-ho Prussia being Ares (also, I think the two character would appreciate those roles.)
I can accept one countries female aspect filling another role or the same role though, like fem!France as Aphrodite. Not everybody is set in stone (though Greece as Heracles would be too easy but too fun XD)
