{{work}}

* [[Big Screwed-Up Family]]: A popular rendition, which can be played either for drama or for laughs depending on the fandom.

* [[Chinese People]]: ''All'' of them, [[Shaped Like Itself|especially China]]. Hong Kong, despite the eyebrows.

** [[Anime Chinese Girl]]: Taiwan, the [[Gender Flip]] arts of China and Hong Kong (either fanart or the canon Himaruya doodles)

* [[Five-Man Band]]: In fanwork, the East Asian nations are typically portrayed as one.

** [[The Hero]]: China (Gets upgraded from [[The Smart Guy]] to this, since he's the eldest of the group and the others' [[Parental Substitute]])

{{quote|''URI NARA MANSAE!''}}

* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: He would have had chestnut brown hair in the anime series, as evidenced by a character design that was later removed from the official site. Himaruya usually depicts him with black hair or a very dark shade of brown.

* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: Korea's [[Brother-Sister Incest|incestuous affection]] towards China is not returned ''at all''. He's not much luckier when he tries to pursue Japan, either.But somehow, his is the luckiest with Taiwan.

== Taiwan ==

* [[Anime Chinese Girl]]

* [[Bathing Beauty]]: A recent strip implies that both [http://i.imgur.com/fpAp2.jpg she and Hungary] are this. Explained by the [[wikipedia:Taiwanese hot springs|rich Taiwanese hot spring culture]]

*** [http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=24248895 Some fanart] seems to speculate that it was pulled up in her bun.

* [[Idol Singer]]: Dresses as one for the 2011 Halloween event, including [[Girlish Pigtails]], [[Detached Sleeves]], and [[Zettai Ryouki]].

* [[Pink Means Feminine]]: That's why she's the Girly Girl to Vietnam.

* [[Plucky Girl]]: Taiwan's profile mentions that, though she tends to fret and worry, she's also very strong-willed when it counts. Confirmed when she gets some more spotlight ''and'' a proper profile in the fourth manga volume.

* [[What Could Have Been]]: Himaruya had ''many'' [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/hetalia/images/9/9b/Taiwandesigns.gif preliminary designs of Taiwan], including: a little girl, an old man, a [[Dragon Lady]], a short-haired tomboy, a little boy and a young man.

* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: Averted. She has the looks, but canon has pretty much [[Jossed]] the personalty traits:

** The drama track from China's CD has her as a [[Genki Girl]] who inflicts [[Amusing Injuries]] on China (she tries to fix his back and then ends up breaking his arm!) and calls him "old man" pretty much to his face.

** And the fourth manga volume throws the YN concept out of the window, by making her the plucky and cheerful energetic girl to ''all'' of her Asian siblings.

** [[Talking to Himself|Talking To Herself]] (she voices both Taiwan ''and'' China)

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Her Hetaween costume.

 

== Hong Kong ==

{{quote|''"To be blunt, isn't "not playing the game" the'' least ''troublesome option?"''}}

 

* [[Annoying Younger Sibling]]: Makes several digs against China, like showcasing how he knows exactly what China will wear or do at any given time and constantly referring to him as old in spite of China's indignant protests, and "annoying China" is even listed as one of his hobbies. Which makes him the third Asian sibling who pokes fun at China on a regular basis. [[Dude, Where's My Respect?|China just can't get any respect.]]

** [[Fanon]] loves to portray him as this towards England too during his time as a British territory.

** According to Himaruya, a suggested Chinese name was "Wong Kha-Loung" and a suggested English one was "Leon Wong".

* [[Overly Long Name]] / [[Long Title]]: Full name: Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. Thankfully, he's usually called [[Hong Kong]].

* [[Like Is, Like, a Comma]]: In one English translation of the fourth manga volume.

* [[The Medic]]: In the CD Drama ''[[Alternate Universe|Hetalia Phantasia]]'', he apparently is both this ''and'' the...

* [[Trickster]]: He uses his firecrackers to play pranks on England, according to [[Word of God]].

** And he gets China drunk in the 2010 Christmas special, [http://community.livejournal.com/hetalia/9813173.html#cutid1 apparently just for the lulz]. [[Can't Hold His Liquor|That one]] [http://i52.tinypic.com/20911sh.jpg backfires, though.]

** Confirmed with his newest profile:

{{quote|"His hobbies include annoying England and China whenever he sees them!"}}

[[File:cardvietnam_1272.jpg|frame]]

{{quote|''"A photo with me...? I'm not photogenic, and it's embarrassing."''}}

* [[Asian and Nerdy]]: [[Gamer Chick|A gamer]], indeed. She was showed playing ''Uncharted 3'' in a [http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1308.html recent sketch on Himaruya's blog ].

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Based on [[wikipedia:History of Vietnam|her true history]], we know that many powerful forces such as America, China, France, Mongolia Empire, etc. have learnt their lesson.

* [[Comically Serious]]

* [[Eyes of Gold]]

* [[Flower in Her Hair]]: She's sometimes drawn with [[Hair Decorations|flowers in her ponytail]].

* [[Horrible Judge of Character]]: Often in fanart and fanfiction, Vietnam becomes the ''only one'' (besides Belarus) who admires Russia as the nicest person and wants to be like him.

* [[I'm Not Pretty]]: According to herself. Taiwan disagrees.

{{quote|'''Taiwan''': It's okay, Vietnam's a cutie!}}

* [[Joshikousei]]: During the 2011 Christmas event, she's shown wearing the same more sailor style of uniform that Taiwan sports in Gakuen art.

* [[Lady of War]]: A popular [[Fanon]] depiction, which is supported by Himaruya's description of her.

* [[Meido]]: Jossed. She was featured dressed as one in a very old sketch on Himaruya's blog (which many people mistook as a design for a Philippines), and it was not revealed that that was her until years later. However, that design seems to have been completely thrown out.

* [[Nice Hat]]: Nice ''leaf'' hat (nón lá), indeed.

* [[Plucky Girl]]: According to her profile.

{{quote|''A very headstrong woman in an áo dài! There are many strong women in her history!''}}

** [[Tomboyish Sidetails]]

* [[Tomboy]]: Yup. With Taiwan, they become [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]. [http://imgur.com/a/WwGqw#363hw Especially in the manga.] They're also [[Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl|Savvy Tomboy, Energetic Girly Girl.]] An interesting case is that their personality seem to be opposite.

* [[When She Smiles]]: [http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1349.html#more Happens in a recent blog post], and it's absolutely adorable.

* [[Woman in White]]: Her ao dai is occasionally colored this way in fanart. Himaruya even mentioned in a blog entry before he gave her her official coloring that he had been considering making it white.

 

== Thailand ==

[[File:cardthailand_6393.jpg|frame]]

{{quote|''"Yes of course! Your smile will surely be wonderful."''}}

* [[Anime Hair]]

* [[Bare-Fisted Monk]]: In fanon, due to Thailand being the "home" of the very brutal fighting style known as [[wikipedia:Muay Thai|Muay Thai]].

* [[The Beast Master]]: Has a pet elephant named Toto, whom he dotes on like crazy.

* [[The Big Guy]]: While his unofficial height is currently not revealed, Fanon is more than often to draw him as tall as Korea. Possibly type 2.

* [[Fan Nickname]]: Thai-Fans called him "Eaggarat" which mean Freedom in Thailand.

* [[Fun Personified]]: The doodles where he's appeared have him always smiling and acting cheerful. His original profile says he gets along with people easily and is never in a hurry.

* [[The Determinator]] - [[Guile Hero]]: When he ''does'' make a decision or wants something, however, he can be pretty tricky and stubborn. Possibly comes from the fact that [[wikipedia:History of Thailand|the Kingdom of Thailand]] was the only territory in the South East of Asia that retained its independence during the European colonization.

** [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Given his history, he could also be somewhat (sadistically) happy consider that it is after all France and England in the background.

* [[Knife Nut]]: Carries one on this page picture. Pretty much hinting another "side" of him.

* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Patthai

* [[Perpetual Smiler]]: [http://www.zerochan.net/928720 He even teaches Vietnam how to smile].

{{quote|"If he cooks it's always something [[Sweet Tooth|really sweet]] or [[Fire-Breathing Diner|really spicy]]. The cooking itself is very delicious."}}

* [[Show the Forehead]]: He's a member of the Forehead Four in [[Fandom]]. Might be a bit canon since he his seen talking with Denmark on Blood Bath 2011. He also take "interest" in Netherland.

* [[Verbal Tic]]: "Ana~", according to said doodles.

 

 

* [[Megane]]

* [[The Rival]]: Of Hungary, whom he attacked and bullied as a child according to [[All There in the Manual|some sketches]].

 

 

* [[Bald of Awesome]]

* [[Hermit Guru]]

* [[Eyes of Gold]]

* [[Megane]]

* [[Nice Guy]]

{{quote|''His nature is rather ungreedy; he appears calm and good at business, is tall, and tries to be philosophical (...) He often has a businesslike manner, but he jokes around with Portugal, China, and Hong Kong. He treats Taiwan like a proper lady.''}}

{{quote|''He seems to also have another side, another part, lol.''}}

* [[Non-Action Guy]]: In the Hetaween event, notes mention that he tends to get pulled into conflicts and get hurt.
