Axis Powers Hetalia/Characters/Benelux: Difference between revisions

* [[Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl]]: Netherlands and Belgium also seem to fit these roles.

* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: [[The Big Guy|Holland]] and [[Bokukko|Belgium]]: Belgium is all smiles when Netherlands shows up in Spain's home, but he's all growls instead. Double in the anime, which adds the contrast between Belgium's cheery and somewhat high-pitched voice and Netherlands's much deeper tone. Also, according to Vol 3 notes:

* [[Team Mom]]: Belgium sometimes plays this in fanworks and seems to have shades of this in the Drama CD.

* [[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.

** [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.

** In a flashback to when she and Netherlands were children, she wore a large bow on the back of her head instead.

* [[Heroic Self-Deprecation]]: She often worries about not standing out or being plain.

'''Ukraine:''' Belgium did try hard! }}

* [[Huge Schoolgirl]]: While Belgium has no official height, she may possibly be this. An old profile of hers mentions that she's tall, and [[media:000696z7.jpg|some early anime art]] makes her appear to be about the same height as France and Austria. In a recent blog sketch, she seems to [http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1314.html#more tower over North Italy.]

*** Although he ''is'' [[The Big Guy]]...

* [[I Am Not Pretty]]: Calls herself plain in the fourth volume.

* [[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]]. 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".

** This is played sort of straight in the actual strip, however, in that she's the only girl we see in her bra.

* [[Nice Guy|Nice Girl]]: Her first reaction to seeing a naked {{spoiler|Parallel Spain}} out on Christmas is to give him her scarf. In later strips, she's seen trying to get her [[Aloof Older Brother|older brother]] to be nicer to others and get [[Workaholic|her younger brother]] to join in the Halloween party. Despite her efforts, she bemoans that she [[Heroic Self-Deprecation|doesn't stand out.]]

* [[Death Glare]]: Often sends out one of these.

* [[Ephebophile]] - [[Lolicon]]: Is said to be this by Finland in the [http://aph.starry-sky.com/chrismas_bonsai.html Christmas 2007 strip]:

* [[Fan Nickname]]: Many fans call him [[Twilight (novel)|''Sparkling Holland'']] due to having a hairstyle similar to Edward Cullen's.

** For his human name, "Lars" and "Wilhem" seem to have caught on in Western fandom. Himaruya has also listed Tim, Govert, Abel, and Morgens as various names suggested for him, though none of them are official.

* [[Bishie Sparkle]]: In the one discarded sketch with his face.

* [[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):

* [[Workaholic]]: Perhaps. He did stay home in order to work...
