Line 12:
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: Greece and Turkey, respectively.
* [[Triang Relations]]: [[Ho Yay|Throw]] [[Axis Powers Hetalia (Manga)/The Axis|Japan]] [[Ho Yay|in with Greece and Turkey]], and there are plenty of combinations possible. The most canon one is [[Opposites Attract Revenge|Greece —> Japan <— Turkey]], possibly leaning towards [[Ship Tease|Greece <—> Japan]] [[Hopeless Suitor|<— Turkey]], but [[Fanon]] also likes [[Betty and Veronica|Japan —> Greece <— Turkey]] and occasionally [[One True Threesome|Turkey <—> Japan <—> Greece]].
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Greece and Turkey, [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis|believe it]] [[Arch Enemy|or not]], might actually fit this too, going by their latest character profiles which state that even though they're constantly fighting each other, Greece sometimes [[Go -Karting With Bowser|goes shopping in Turkey's malls]].
** In one strip, Turkey is giving Greece a Turkish Bath to "bully" him and while Greece is loudly voicing how much he dislikes it when in reality, as he later admits, he actually enjoys himself and has a nice time.
 
Line 34:
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Seems a [[Cloudcuckoolander]], is actually [[The Philosopher]].
* [[Ho Yay]]: After Japan finds out that Greece is n°1 in the frequency of having sex while Japan is dead last, he gets a private lesson from him... There's also the [[Together Umbrella]] strip where Greece doesn't want Japan to see him with [[Messy Hair]] in the rain and gets upset when Japan tries to assure him that his hair doesn't look any different than usual (i.e. his hair looks messy all the time to him) until he begins wondering if this is actually "humiliation play"... And then, after posing in an Ancient Greek chiton, Greece either casually flashes Japan by lifting up the lower part of his chiton or holds up another chiton for Japan to wear himself. And he's wearing [[Animal-Eared Headband|cat ears]] [[Call Back|like the ones Japan gave him in an earlier strip]].
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Some sketches show him carrying around a huge metal cross, which represents [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Athos:Mount Athos|the Agion Oros aka Mount Athos]].
* [[Kindhearted Cat Lover]]: Greece loves cats, but is [[A Worldwide Punomenon|less skittish]] towards others than your average [[Crazy Cat Lady]].
* [[Momma's Boy]]: It's safe to assume that he's this from how he takes care of his mother's ruins and likes to talk about her mythology and culture. Atypically for this trope, this trait of his is usually portrayed positively in both canon ''and'' fanworks.
Line 63:
* [[Bling of War]]: Ottoman style.
** [[Mask Power]]: Combined with a ''very'' [[Nice Hat]].
** [[Weapon of Choice]]: A sword, probably a [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilij |Kilij or Turkish scimitar]]
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: Was gung-ho about invading Europe during his Ottoman Empire days, and even nowadays is quite loud about his opinions.
* [[Child -Hater]]: "I really hate kids!", after {{spoiler|Chibitalia}} kicks him in the face.
** Interestingly enough, he's one of the few recurring cast members who's never been shown as a child, either.
* [[Carpet of Virility]]: Type 1, as seen in ''[[Hetaween 2011 (Manga)|Hetaween 2011]]''.
Line 78:
* [[Laughing Mad]]: After realizing that the European Union is not that much into him.
* [[Love Hurts]]: In the beta version for the drama CD, he's revealed to have been in love with [[Hot Mom|Ancient]] [[Lady of War|Greece]]/Byzantium. Who he eventually killed. (It's not necessarily canon as it wasn't included in the final version of the drama CD, but it sure would explain an awful lot about his relations with her son.) And when you take in account the aforementioned [[Hopeless Suitor]] case with Japan and Greece ''and'' the only popular fanon pairing he gets being all about him and his [[Arch Enemy]] belting out the tune of [[The Masochism Tango]] at the top of their lungs, you have one wholly unenviable love life on your hands.
** Let's not forget that a small section of the Japanese fandom also pairs him up with the local [[Action Girl]], Hungary. Who has been fighting him ever since she was a little girl (she refers to him as [[Precision F-Strike|"the Ottobastard Empire"]]) and not to mention [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Hungary:Ottoman Hungary|Ottoman Hungary was one of the most rebellious provinces in the Ottoman Empire.]] Add how [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man|she's in love with]] [[The White Prince|Austria]] and, well...
* [[Malevolent Masked Man]]: A subversion, and more often than not [[Played for Laughs]]. Yes, he was VERY unpleasant in the past to ''many'' nations (young Greece, young Hungary, the Italies, Spain), but after having gone from the personification of the Ottoman Empire to the one of the Republic of Turkey, he's portrayed as a [[Hot -Blooded]] [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]] who's actually rather fun to hang out with. [[The Rival|Unless you're the now grown up Greece]].
* [[Must Have Caffeine]]: In the dub he isn't going to invade Europe just yet because he wants to go home to get some ''real'' coffee. He thinks European coffee is "for the baby".
* [[Over -the -Shoulder Carry]]: He does that when he 'kidnaps' Greece after forcing him into an Aladdin costume, to carry him to the Halloween party.
* [[Perma Stubble]]
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Is it "Sadiq" or "Sadik"? Also, is it "Adnan" or "Annan"?
* [[Sweet Tooth]]: He loves sweet food, one such food being [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashure |ashure]] or Noah's pudding, a traditional Turkish dessert. [[Justified Trope]], since [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_cuisine:Turkish cuisine|Turkish cuisine]] is well-known for its sweets.
* [[Real Men Hate Sugar]]: As seen above, total inversion.
* [[Take Over the World]]: As the Ottoman Empire, he continuously tries to take over Europe- fighting little Hungary, the Habsburgs, abducting little Greece, etc. in the process.
Line 102:
{{hardline}}
* [[But Not Too Black]]: While he has olive skin in the illustrations, the anime makes him much paler. It's true that some Egyptian people ''are'' quite pale compared to other African ethnicities, but still.
** This is due to the rather pertinent fact that Egyptians are not a uniformly dark-skinned people (as seen [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Egyptians-15.jpg |here]]), so him being [[But Not Too Black|not too black]] is entirely justified.
* [[Cute Mute]]: Egypt is not much of a talker. Though, at one point, France asked him if he could even talk, to which Egypt responded, "Would you like to buy something?"
* [[Green Eyes]]: [http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/h_micro.html In his new profile picture]. In earlier artwork and the anime, he has [[Brown Eyes]] instead.
* [[Magic Warrior]]: ''Maybe'', considering one or three sketches.
* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]: His jackal hound, [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Anubis |Anubis]]. Obviously named [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|after the Egyptian god of the Dead]].
** In his new profile picture, he has an falcon as well. Likely an allusion to [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ra |Ra, the falcon god of the Sun]].
* [[Sugar and Ice Personality]]: According to [[Word of God]].
* [[Tsurime Eyes]]: Noticeably.
Line 128:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Possible characterization since he randomly decides to smack Italy after France and England do, and the only photo of him in his military clothes has him posing for the shot.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]] / [[Ho Yay]]: Hinted, with Romania.
* [[Nice Guy]]: Contrary to his [[Fanon]] portrayal, in ''[[Hetaween 2011 (Manga)|Hetaween 2011]]'' he's shown being rather nice to Romania. May be an allusion to the [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgaria%E2%80%93Romania_relations93Romania relations|Bulgarian/Romanian traditional friendship.]]
* [[Out of Focus]]: Had the dubious honor of showing up in [[One-Scene Wonder|only one scene]] for a ''long'' time. Until he unexpectedly showed up for ''[[Hetaween 2011 (Manga)|Hetaween 2011]]'', even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshading]] his lack of canon scenes with a comment about how he wanted to promote himself at this event. [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]].
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: According to the [[Hetalia Bloodbath 2011]], yoghurt. Considering that [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Stamen_Grigorov:Stamen Grigorov|a Bulgarian doctor]] [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Yoghurt#History |discovered the true cause for the existence of natural yogurt]] as well as [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgarian_cuisine:Bulgarian cuisine|its extensive use in Bulgarian cuisine]] (and for that matter, in many Balkan countries), it's a [[Justified Trope]].
* [[Why Did You Make Me Hit You?]]: He cites this as his reason to bully Italy, even when they're in the same group.
 
Line 156:
{{quote| ''Spells and black magic are his specialty. [[Bunny Ears Lawyer|He's a merry oddball.]]''}}
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]] - [[Ho Yay]]: Apparently, with Bulgaria. [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgaria%E2%80%93Romania_relations93Romania relations|Wouldn't be THAT far off, actually.]]
* [[Fan Nickname]]: There's no real agreement for a [[Fanon]] "human name", but "Gavril" and "Mircea" have been seen.
** "Andrei" and "Vladimir" have also been spotted on places like Tumblr & deviantArt.
Line 168:
** [[Fan Dumb|Unfortunately]], this has caused people to get [[Serious Business|upset]] at fanartists/writers when don't actually refer to him as a vampire. [[Sarcasm Mode|God forbid you think he's...he's...normal!]]
* [[Psychotic Smirk]]: As mentioned below, he usually has this or the [[Slasher Smile]] in fanarts.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: He appears to have the red eyes, but he doesn't ''look'' too threatening.
* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]: With Hungary.
* [[Slasher Smile]]: Fanart often [http://www.zerochan.net/683411 gives] [http://www.zerochan.net/667889#full him] [http://www.zerochan.net/672335#full this]; most fans speculate he has [[Cute and Psycho]] potential. The creator mentioned he's full of mischief, hence he falls into the [[Trickster]] category.
Line 174:
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Is it '''''Romania''''' or '''''Rumania'''''? English sources seemed to use both nonchalantly...
* [[The Rival]]: He has a rivalry with Hungary, which makes historical sense.
* [[Third Option Love Interest]]: Until he was given a face, [[Ship -to -Ship Combat|the main "contendors" for Hungary's heart]] in [[Fanon]] were [[Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor|Austria and Prussia]] (and once or twice, Turkey). The moment he appeared, Romania/Hungary fanarts started to pop out almost immediately...
* [[Trickster]]: Described as mischievous by the author himself.
* [[Uncanny Family Resemblance|Uncanny Neighbor Resemblance]]: Possibly a result of [[Only Six Faces]], but he could pass for [http://www.horror-vacui.net/hetarchive/images/thumbs/lrg-184-08-06-25-5.jpg Male!Hungary] if his hair was up. Could also be a bit of [[Fridge Brilliance]] considering how Transylvania (from which he is heavily inspired) has shifted control between Romania and Hungary, and Hungarians are the largest minority in the country.
Line 193:
* [[Only Six Faces]]: Looks a lot like Turkey, minus the enthusiasm.
* [[Perma Stubble]]
* [[Sweet Tooth]]: [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Licitar |The Licitar gingerbread]] is his [[Trademark Favourite Food]]
* [[Tearful Smile]]: He has a very pleasing, serene, eyes-half-closed smile that's almost melancholic.
* [[Unkempt Beauty]]
