Line 18:
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Her profile in the third volume describes her as being scary when she's mad.
* [[BFG]]: In some sketches, [[Small Girl, Big Gun|Belgium]] is seen handling [[Small Girl, Big Gun|quite a big rifle.]]
* [[Bifauxnen]]: Arguably in her [[Good -Looking Privates|military garb]].
* [[Boobs of Steel]]: Often gets this treatment in fandom, but during the Christmas 2010 Bloodbath [http://www.horror-vacui.net/hetarchive/scanlation/shorts/hetastreeeem/tyoutenkai8.jpg she's shown to have a rather average chest.]
* [[Bottle Fairy]]: A quite popular [[Fanon]] rendition of Belgium, based on how her land is [[wikipedia:Belgian beer|among the biggest beer producers in the world]].
* [[Cat Smile]]: Belgium frequently sports one in official artwork.
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: It's not as apparent in the webcomic/manga ([[Schedule Slip|as Himaruya has been known to update things ''years'' later, and the manga comes out around two times a year]]), but so much in the anime: She first appeared in the very first episode, only to become more or less important ''93 episodes later''--in other words, ''four seasons later''.
* [[Child Prodigy]]: She was a business and trading genius as a little girl, according to the [[Hetalia Bloodbath 2011]].
* [[Combat Stilettos]]: A sketch of her military uniform has her boots having high heels.
* [[Cool Big Sis]]: Finland mentions in the 2007 Christmas strips that Belgium is a bit like this.
{{quote|'''Finland:''' "She's mature and has a cheerful personality, but doesn't stand out much because of the people surrounding her."}}
** [http://pics.livejournal.com/melcratch/pic/00003xx2/ Confirmed in the third manga volume.] [http://community.livejournal.com/hetalia/8929397.html Twice.]
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: Not as common in fanart as her [[Cat Smile]], but it still shows up from time to time. These actually appear in-comic in Volume Four.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Because Belgium has no official human name, many fans refer to her as "Belle" or "Bella." Also, some fans of late have started to refer to her as "Alice", a pretty popular name in the Belgian land. Some fans will affectionately refer to her as "Belbel" on occasion.
** A recent blog post also listed Laura, Emma, Anri, and Manon as fan-suggested names for her.
* [[Green Eyes]]
Line 43:
* [[I Am Not Pretty]]: Calls herself plain in the fourth volume.
{{quote|'''Belgium:''' With all these strong guys around me, I may appear a bit plain, but I'm doing my best!}}
* [[Incest Subtext]]: According to some fans, Netherlands argues with Belgium while he wants her to become one with him again, like how Belarus wants to be one with Russia, except Netherlands is just pushy instead of [[Yandere (disambiguation)]]. As a result, the fanon pairing of Belgium/Netherlands has a small but very loyal fandom corner.
** [[Bastard Girlfriend]]: It's quite popular to see her as a hot abuser towards him, obviously [[Played for Laughs]].
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Humorously subverted. Fans specifically request [[Fan Service]] from the girls, then Himaruya draws a Belgium who is wrapped in a mantle and apparently only wearing bra/panties underneath... while openly complaining about her "nudity".
Line 58:
* [[Supreme Chef]]: Implied as she [[Sweet Tooth|references making sweets for both Romano and later for Netherlands]] in their Hattafutte Parade.
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Waffles and chocolate, according to the drama CD. [[wikipedia:Belgian waffle|Naturally.]]
* [[Trickster Mentor]]: Possibly. Her profile describes her as being meddlesome and she did tease Romano in her first speaking role.
* [[Tsurime]]: While not nearly as pronounced as Netherlands' Belgium's eyes are often drawn a bit sharper than the other girls'. This is especially apparent when comparing her to Hungary, Liechtenstein, or Taiwan.
 
Line 88:
* [[OC Stand In]]: For a period of time, fans had his FIFA sketch to base his appearance on but very little to base his actual personality on, and he was most commonly depicted in fanworks as a boisterous, easygoing, not-too-bright, pot-smoking guy - in other words, a pot-smoking version of Denmark. Even after he was shown in canon to be more of a blunt, no-nonsense, somewhat stoic and unsmiling guy, the Denmark-like fanon portrayal for him lingered on for some time in fanfic.
* [[Perpetual Frowner]]: He always seems to have a scowl or disinterested expression on his face, especially when contrasted with his sister Belgium who's always smiling and cheerful.
* [[Rags to Riches]]: He's seen as a rather poor and struggling teenaged nation (while his younger sister Belgium is a [[Child Prodigy]] businesswoman), then he's seen as kinda more affluent but under Spain's wing (that he's not too happy about), and later he has become quite the overseas empire... and a stoic, penny-pinching [[Non-Idle Rich]].
* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]: The Netherlands have a nice [http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-758.html black, blue and white] one.
* [[Scars Are Forever]]: Has one on his forehead, inflicted on him by Spain during one of their wars.
Line 104:
* [[Bishie Sparkle]]: In the one discarded sketch with his face.
** Turned [[Up to Eleven]] in Belgium's weird dream about a fake Luxembourg, complete with [[Flower Motifs|roses]] all around him.
* [[The Cameo]]: In ''[[Hetaween 2011]]'', since his boss didn't let him go until he completed all his work.
* [[The Faceless]]: During ''[[Hetaween 2011]]''. An old sketch of him in the authors blog actually ''lack'' the face making [[The Blank|a more literal interpretation]] of this trope.
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: "Luxem." [[Fan Nickname|The fans seem to opt more for "Lux", though.]]
* [[Ojou|Ouji]]: In the 2007 Christmas Rampage, Finland describes him as being elegant.
* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]: His little dog, Pelutze.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: There's a discarded [http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1307.html sketch] of him showing his face that also appear [http://www.hetarchive.net/scanlations/xmas2011/nanikonohito.jpg in Belgium's nightmares] (while the real Luxembourg is hiding behind the door):
