Her [[Smedry Talent|Talent]] allows her to wake up looking really ugly.{{book ref|a2|2}} Her name is a reference to how the continent of Australia was first colonized by the British as a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia#Colonial_expansion penal colony] in the 1700's.
 
== Appearance and Personality ==
Australia is sixteen years old when she first meets Alcatraz. She is descibeddescribed as plump, with the tan skin, dark hair, and brown eyes typical of the [[Mokia|Mokian]] people.{{book ref|a2|2}}
 
Australia is immediately friendly towards Alcatraz, and also appears to be somewhat absent-minded. She is for the most part cheerful and optimistic, but a little insecure and good at hiding her negative emotions.
Australia has the ability to wake up looking really ugly. If she falls asleep thinking about a certain person, she can wake up looking exactly like that person, though the effect seems to wear off fairly quickly.{{book ref|a2|8}} She is also able to use her talent to impersonate non-human creatures. She can fall asleep very quickly, at will - during the infiltration of the [[Library of Alexandria]] she is able to force herself to fall asleep within the space of five minutes.
 
In addition to her Talent, Australia has two other significant abilities: She is an Oculator (though unpracticed and only able to effectively use simple Lenses[[Lens]]es) and a capable pilot.
 
== Trivia ==
* Her name is a reference to how the continent of Australia was first colonized by the British as a [[wikipedia:Australia#Colonial_expansion|penal colony]] in the 1700's.
