[DAY 6] [RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT] German Culture (Hanë and Huppel)

Both Hanë and Huppel come from Germany, as they are Father and Daughter, so I thought this research would be crucial. Germany is a heavily cultured country, full of great experiences and beautiful landmarks. I wanted to take a look on this because I knew that this subject would effect both Hanë and Huppel's personalities. I know I have already covered the basics of both characters personalities, but the way they influence their nationality to others would be a great in site and experience.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Quick Notes;
Germany is full traits which are admirable in so many countries. Being polite, keeping their work life separate from their personal life, even giving a quick handshake to people they have just met to signal a 'Hello'. It's unlikely that everywhere in Germany carries out these traditional acts, but it's there. Like other places, Germans like to speak in German for formal reasons, because it's respectful to their own culture and well being.
Foods are a speciality in Germany, mostly containing meats and fruits in their common diet. Pork is the common meats served in restaurants and households, but parts of Germany serve a variety of other meats like Poultry and Beef. Many different types of sausage is sold in Germany, way over 1,000 types of sausage exists in supermarkets and shops (the same goes for breads, 300 types of breads are sold).
Musical influences in Germany are quite tight on Techno and Heavy Rock/Rock. However, in history, Germany is known for it's more classical music, composed by people like Beethoven and Mozart.
Sports for Germany these days are normally focused on more car related and football related things. The most successful Formula One driver is Michael Schumacher which is known by many others all across the globe, and gives a big name to German Engineering. As for football, Germany has won the FIFA World Cup 3 times and has hosted the FIFA World Cup 3 times, as well. Sports give a real big name to Germany for being one of the most successful countries for activities.

I feel knowing this information really helps character development, and if I ever need to use it, the information is always there to help me make the perfect characters for my story.
Also, from this information, I created a Mood Board, describing how I feel what Germany is in a nutshell.
