Fan Nickname: She's often given the name "Felicia" by the Western fandom as her human name, whereas the Japanese fandom seems to prefer "Alice" (pronounced as "Ah-LEE-che") judging by how quickly the Pixiv tag for the name filled up after Himaruya mentioned that someone suggested the name to him for female Italy.

Japan

Let’s just calmly go somewhere safe without aiming the bat at anybody.

A-Cup Angst / Pettanko: She appears to be rather flat-chested compared to many other nations on this page, and many fanworks have her being self-conscious about her lack of assets compared to other female nations'.
Badass Adorable
Bob Haircut
Expository Hairstyle Change / Important Haircut: Word of God says that Japan used to have much longer hair until she cut it when she opened up her borders. She wanted to prove she'll be able to try to get along with the rest of the world.
Fan Nickname: "Sakura" is the most widely accepted fanon name for her in Japanese fandom, and it was in fact suggested to the artist. Many Western fans, however, continue to use "Kiku", the human first name the artist gave to her male counterpart, for her because Kiku can also be a female name.
Flower in Her Hair: She's drawn with a chrysanthemum or sakura flower in her hair in later sketches. A sketch of an "Another Color Version" of her further adds to the Flower Motifs by giving her a red spider lily, a third flower that has a special significance to the Japanese.
Romantic Two-Girl Friendship: Himaruya's early character notes described her as having a "complicated yearning for America".
Tareme Eyes: Himaruya designed her with these kind of eyes as a contrast to her male counterpart's Monochromatic Eyes.
