== /his/toria ==

'''Gender/Physical Description:''' A little girl fond of wearing historical clothing, generally military uniforms. She has mid-length, slightly unkempt hair kept into position by a headband, though this is often concealed by a hat or helmet. She will wear other clothes if coaxed, but often damages them.

'''Personality/Habits/Hobbies/Behavior etc.:''' A tomboy who loves history, but only the "Exciting" parts a child would like (i.e. wars, historical mysteries, disasters). Though the scope of her understanding is limited to the areas she enjoys, she is quite knowledgeable in those areas. She gets easily bored by philosophy and religion outside of its relevance to the parts of history she likes. She is very trusting and impressionable, immediately taking anything she hears from anyone who is not Herodotus as fact. Since she often hangs out separately with  [[Board-tans/pol | /pol/]] and [[Board-tans/lit | /lit/]], she often develops strange and contradictory narratives on history (i.e. Adolf Hitler being a Black Jewish Socialist Hero) before Herodotus painstakingly corrects her. The type of person who often says something so clearly wrong that even a layman with little to no knowledge on the subject will feel the desire to correct her.

'''Relationships:''' Since she and Herodotus live near /pol/ and /lit/, she often visits them. /pol/ and /lit/ often use her to bait or provoke the other. Historia's love for wars and "exciting" history also leads her to engage a number of boards, namely [[Board-tans/k | /k/]] (about weapons), [[Board-tans/tg | /tg/]] (about war-related tabletop games) and [[Board-tans/v | /v/]] (about war-related video games).

'''Meta:''' Historia represents the portion of /his/ only interested in history threads and the ever-changing reinterpretation, reinvention and revision of history. While there may be some truth to the overstated paradigm that History is Written by the Victors, History is continually challenged and changed by other aspiring victors. [http://aparc.fsi.stanford.edu/research/divided_memories_and_reconciliation Revisionist views of the far right in Japan], the continual debate on the causes of the Civil War, [http://www.blackhistoryheroes.com/2012/07/hannibal-barca-of-carthage-north-africa.html We Wuzism], [https://www.newcoldwar.org/the-successful-70-year-campaign-to-convince-people-the-usa-and-not-the-ussr-beat-hitler/ changing views on the relative contribution of the Allies to victory in World War II] and the continued debate over the Holocaust all show that our view of history is constantly changing and being revisited. Even from a theoretically objective academic standpoint, new discoveries, sources and research techniques constantly bring in new information that can change our understanding of history. As such, Historia represents all these new and continued developments; while many prove ultimately fallacious or biased, some of it may truly change the conventional understanding of our past.
