Line 6:
* [[All There in the Manual]]: Saxony and Bavaria (two other descendants of Germania) appear as background characters in the Austrian War of Secession. Saxony also appears in Comic Diary 7, Liechtenstein's Journal of Swiss Dopiness and Chibitalia (as one of HRE's bodyguards, but only in the manga). They are confirmed as elder brothers of Germany in the Prussia-centric ''Kuso-game'', along with the additional three states of Hesse, Schleswig-Holstein, and Brandenburg.
* [[Big Fancy House]]: Subverted and played straight:
** Subverted in the case of Chibitalia, Hungary, Austria and HRE. Austria's mansion ''is'' pretty big but the end of the Chibitalia strips suggests (if not outright states) that their spending wealth is very limited, which is remarked when {{spoiler|HRE leaves the mansion with other Germanic states.}}
** Played straight with the fancy palace where Austria and Hungary interact with [[Maria Theresa]]. It's a [[Justified Trope]] considering that Vienna is very famous for palaces like [[wikipedia:Belvedere (palace)|Belvedere]] or [[wikipedia:Sch%C3%B6nbrunn Palace|Schonbrunn]].
* [[Big Screwed-Up Family]]: The Germanic brothers aren't exactly the happiest bunch.
Line 18:
* [[Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl]]: Austria and Hungary are the grown-up version of the trope. HRE and Chibitalia also fit... except that Chibitalia is a [[Wholesome Crossdresser|a boy who dresses as a girl]]
* [[Team Dad]]: Austria, no question. He raises the girlish N. Italy with the help of Hungary.
* [[Team Mom]]: Spain is this at start, being equal partners with Austria (or property?), and raising the boyish S. Italy. Hungary graduates to this from [[Cool Big Sis]] after she marries the local [[Team Dad]].
* [[The Clan]] Of The Habsburgs
* [[The Sound of Martial Music]]: Austria, though due to historical reasons Hungary plays a large role here as well.
Line 28:
{{quote|Voiced by: Jun Konno (JP), Chris Cason (EN)}}
{{hardline}}
* [[Blue Eyes]]
* [[Dogged Nice Guy]]: Type 1 to Chibitalia.
Line 38:
* [[Satellite Character]]: Is HRE the boss? Does he just own the house? He doesn't interact much with the others. He's not Germany, by the way. Or is he?
* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: To Chibitalia, completely played for laughs.
* [[Tsundere]]: Arguably, towards Chibitalia.
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Italy's. According to France (in a deleted strip), HRE apparently perished in the war, but some definite hints say {{spoiler|HRE actually lost his memory in the war and was found by Prussia later, then raised by him to become Germany}}.
Line 50:
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Badass Adorable]] / [[Cute Bruiser]]: She started fighting when she was a little girl, and was able to take on both Prussia ''and'' Austria successfully. She also averts [[Chickification]] by both not being invincible in her "male" days ''and'' by being shown as physically strong (if not [[Took a Level In Badass|even stronger]]) during her "maid" ones.
* [[Bathing Beauty]]: She's seen taking a bath with Chibitalia in early strips, and a recent one has her [http://i.imgur.com/fpAp2.jpg inviting Taiwan to have a soak in] [[wikipedia:Lake H%C3%A9v%C3%ADz|Lake Heviz]].
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: This cute and sweet maid brutalizes Prussia's army, watches him get ready to sleep [[Blade on a Stick|with a spear in hand]], and busts down a wall in his home to help out her beloved Austria.
* [[Bifauxnen]]: For a request during the April Fool's 2011 event, Himaruya drew her dressed in a [[Knight in Shining Armor|prince-like outfit]] with Liechtenstein. She also had shades of this when she was younger before she discovered she was a woman.
** Her Halloween costume in the 2011 event was also a prince.
** Not to mention her fancy outfit in the [[High School AU|Gakuen]] games also qualifies as this.
** [[Good
* [[Bi the Way]]: She may have some shades of this... Hungary suggested that [[Gag Boobs|Ukraine]] should wear the traditional ancient Crete dress (which completely exposes the breasts) in this [http://hetalia.livejournal.com/11219211.html comic strip]
* [[Blade on a Stick]]: Hungary's [[Weapon of Choice]] (aside of her [[Frying Pan of Doom|frying pan]]). She also has [[BFG|a rifle]], but we never see her use it.
* [[Bodyguard Crush]]: Towards [[Non-Action Guy|Austria]].
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: Can be easily seen as one of the rare female examples.
{{quote|'''Hungary''': Seize vital regions, seize vital regions... CRUSH PRUSSIA! CRUSH PRUSSIA!}}
** Cranked [[Up to Eleven]] in the anime, which adds a [[Battle Aura]] to her [[Slasher Smile]] and a ''truly'' scary delivery of the [[Madness Mantra]] above by [[Michiko Neya]]. Austria wisely decides to just let her be... and the scene soon changes to her [[Curb Stomp Battle|punching and kicking the living crap]] [[One-Man Army|out of a whole Prussian army]].
* [[Bokukko]]: When she was a child, Hungary spoke rather boyishly, [[You Fail Biology Forever|assuming that she was a boy and would grow up into a man]] (heck, when her breasts started developing, she actually thought that she was sick...). Ever since she grew out of this, though, she has perfectly feminine speech patterns, only reverting to boyish speech when she's ''very'' pissed off.
** [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: Himaruya originally intended to have Hungary as a crossdressing male. He used this idea for Poland instead.
Line 70:
* [[Chickification]]: Averted ''very'' hard. She's actually ''manlier'' than a good chunk of the male cast.
** And she gained girlier outlooks and sides, and she's not exactly ashamed of them. This is a girl who can pull a very nice [[Bifauxnen]] stint, and yet wears her hair down and with [[Hair Decorations]] as well.
* [[Covert Pervert]]: She insists that her love for Austria is "pure," but all the footage she has of him in [[Shirtless Scene|compromising]] [[Black Comedy Rape|positions]] [[Yaoi Fangirl|says otherwise.]] Even ''France'' is amazed by how dirty her mind is.
* [[Defeat by Modesty]]. Subverted in [http://pics.livejournal.com/melcratch/pic/00004xzk/ this strip], where Hungary [[Innocent Fanservice Girl|doesn't seem to care that her tunic has been ripped]] to [[Absolute Cleavage]] levels after fighting Turkey. [[Please Put Some Clothes On|Prussia's the one who cares more.]]
* [[Flower Motifs]]: She uses flowers and/or flower-shaped hair jewelry.
** [[Flower in Her Hair]]: Her pink flower hairpin (apparently a [[wikipedia:Geranium|geranium]]) symbolizes [[wikipedia:Lake Balaton|Lake Balaton aka The Hungarian Sea]], BTW.
* [[Foe Yay]]: In [[Fanon]], with [[Badass Longcoat|Romania]], emphasis on the 'foe' part, due to the fact that they hate each other with a burning passion. They probably have one of the strongest cases of antagonism. And this is true in [[Real Life]], too, as Romanians and Hungarians still have some serious differences to settle. Doesn't stop fans from making Romania her [[Third Option Love Interest]], after [[Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor|Austria and Prussia]].
* [[Frying Pan of Doom]]: If Hungary and Prussia are in the same comic, you can expect to see her attack him with ''at least'' this. France is another target when Hungary isn't in [[Yaoi Fangirl|"Voyeurist"]] Mode. The frying pan probably comes from 'László the Brave,' a Hungarian slapstick comedy in the vein of 'Punch and Judy,' where the titular hero uses a huge frying pan to beat up his enemies.
Line 79:
* [[Green Eyes]]: Justified, as it turns out. Hungary as one of the highest percentages of green eyes in Europe.
* [[Hot Amazon]] / [[Ninja Maid]]: Hungary often dresses up as a [[Meido]] (especially in the [[Maria Theresa]] mini arc). She's also very willing to use her spear to defend herself and/or Austria.
** It seems to me that it's not a maid dress but a simplified version of the [http://hungaria.org/ahm/index.php?projectid=4&menuid=194#239 traditional Hungarian dress] or folk attire.
*** It could actually be a mix of ''both'' factors. In ''Chibitalia'' we see Italy working as a maid at the "Holy Roman Empire Household" and dressing up as a maid, and when Hungary is introduced as his [[Cool Big Sis]] it's said they're technically in the same situation. And in "France and the frying pan", she's clearly wearing a normal maid outfit.
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Is seen beating up France with her [[Frying Pan of Doom]]. [[Fanon|Never Prussia, despite what fanon says.]]
Line 94:
** While not ''quite'' as pimped out, Himaruya also drew her wearing a simple, but very elegant dress alongside Austria.
* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]: She and Austria. In her own words from the ''Gakuen Hetalia'' script: "My heart is Austrian territory!"
** Also slightly subverted, due to her status as a [[Yaoi Fangirl]]. She does love and care for Austria, but rarely minds seeing her husband/boyfriend being felt up by other males...
* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]: She gets riled up whenever Romania's around. As shown in the 2011 Bloodbath, wherein there's already a bad tension in the air when Romania appears.
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Elisabeth, Elisaveta, Erzsébet, Elizabeth...?
Line 123:
* [[Idiot Hair]]: Represents [[wikipedia:Mariazell|Mariazell]].
* [[Ill Boy]]: He was in a wheelchair for a time, according to [[All There in the Manual|some of Himaruya's notes]]
* [[Impoverished Patrician]]: Just because the glory days of the Habsburgs are over doesn't mean Austria has to act like it. Prussia tries to blow his cover on his penny-pinching ways to Austria's [[Tsundere|arch]][[She Is Not My Girlfriend|rival]] Switzerland. Too bad he forgets that for Switzerland, nothing is nobler than thrift.
* [[Kuudere]]
* [[Megane]]
** [[Stoic Spectacles]]: Actually, Austria has a great emotional range: he can be 'solemn', 'sullen', 'stern', 'saturnine', 'harsh' and 'sterner'.
* [[Neat Freak]]: As an aristocrat, he gets angry when seen disheveled. Even if it's by his ''wife''. At least in public anyway.
* [[Non-Action Guy]]: Much to Switzerland's frustration. Luckily, his partner and wife is a [[Ninja Maid]] who's more than happy to fight for him, while he remains as [[Mission Control]].
** Also lampshaded in a strip where it's revealed that his fastest walking pace is ''slower than everyone else.''
* [[No Sense of Direction]]: Says [[Word of God]]. Alluded to in the Valentine's strip when Austria is about to go out to get something for Hungary, and Germany tells him that he won't be able to come get him if he gets lost. Austria decides to make something with his own hands instead.
Line 135:
* [[Playing Cyrano]]: In the Valentine's strip, Germany asks him for help and advice on dealing with Italy.
* [[Princely Young Man]]: Of the [[Ice King]] type with a bit of [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]. He's described often as a 'young master' type of character.
* [[Purely Aesthetic Glasses]]: [[Word of God]] says he's wearing glasses because he looks [[Generic Cuteness|rather plain without them]]. The [[Art Evolution]], however, [http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-961.html has hit him particularly hard.]
* [[Purple Eyes]]
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: He sees himself as highly cultured, enjoys gardening and seems to be better at making pastries than actually fighting. And that's not counting the corset in ''[[Hetalia Bloodbath 2011]]''. This is in turn in contrast to Hungary.
Line 159:
* [[Attention Whore]]
{{quote|"I really wanna make an appearance. One that will burn the memory of my existence into their hearts."}}
* [[Badass Adorable]]
* [[Badass Cape]]: During the Maria Theresa story arc.
* [[Badass Long Robe]]: Wears black one while being the [[The Theocracy|Monastic State]] of [[The Teutonic Knights]].
Line 173:
* [[Bi the Way]]: Has had some "moments" with Hungary, and is apparently interested in Italy. Not to mention there's the [[Foe Yay]] with Austria...
* [[Blatant Lies]]: He's so happy being alone! And no, he's [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|absolutely not bitter at the sight of couples filling the street around him!]]
* [[Blood Knight]]: He was created to attack and enslave all the other characters here and that's all he lives for.
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: According to himself he likes [[Blood Knight|fighting]], [[Big Eater|eating]], [[Heavy Sleeper|sleeping]] and [[Pet the Dog|Old Fritz.]] Is almost always seen with [[Psychotic Smirk|a big grin]] on his face.
* [[Break the Haughty]]: Whenever he tries to conquer and enslave others, even if he succeds, he'll be knocked off that pedestal VERY soon.
* [[Broken Ace]]: Subverted by the fact that he really isn't great at everything, he just thinks he is.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Rarely survives an appearance without ending up as the butt of a joke.
* [[Celibate Hero]]: Part of the package of being a Teutonic Knight. Then, he demands that Poland [[Ho Yay|let him touch his balls.]]
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: As mentioned below, Prussia talks big, but when it comes to actually seeing his childhood "friend" Hungary pretty much ''naked'', [http://community.livejournal.com/hetalia/7409189.html he freaks out].
Line 199:
** [[Annoying Laugh|KESESESESE!]]
* [[Fleeting Passionate Hobbies]]
* [[For the Evulz]]: On Valentine's and Xmas he realizes just how lonely he is...so this calls for [[Ship Sinking]].
* [[Glory Seeker]]
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Yes, really. According to [[Word of God]] his true nature is serious, methodical and severe.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]: Even after his dissolution.
** [[Large Ham]]: "PRAISE HIM!", indeed.
* [[I Just Want to Be Badass]]: He's willingly to do anything to become strong.
* [[It's All About Me]]: To the point of being a [[Narcissist]].
Line 217:
** After becoming secularized he seems to have dropped his chasteness. Though we're let to understand he's not very succesful in courting anyone, so for all we know he could still be a virgin.
{{quote|"The spot next to me is always open!"}}
* [[Men Don't Cry]]: Oh surely they do. Prussia breaks down in tears rather often, but mostly manages to pull off some sort of [[Manly Tears]]. While insisting things like
{{quote|"I'm so happy to be alone it makes me cry!"}}
* [[Mugging the Monster]]: Oh Prussia, it really isn't a good idea to pick fights with the resident [[Psychopathic Manchild]], especially when he's gonna seize control of you in the future...
* [[Muscles Are Meaningless]]: Apparently he is stronger than Germany!
* [[Mysterious Past]]: Usually with Hetalia you can pretty much read each character's life story from [[That Other Wiki|Wikipedia.]] But this nation-tan character is more or less artifically created, as one cannot draw a clear line from [[The Teutonic Knights]] to the kingdom of [[Prussia]], let alone from there to [[East Germany]]. (If he ever even becomes [[East Germany]]. In his latest bio he is hinted to be Kaliningrad.) Therefore much of his life is left for [[Canon Fodder]].
* [[Nice Hat]]: He actually wears the legendary/notorious ''Pickelhaube'' in the Austro-Prussian War preview.
** His 18th Century tricorne is pretty sweet, too.
Line 234:
* [[Raised by Dudes]]: Hinted by Hungary in one comic, mentioning how Prussia was "surrounded only by men" since birth.
** All the other characters are nations by birth, and have grown up representing normal people of both genders leading normal lives from the cradle to the grave. For a long time Prussia represented nothing but already grown-up males leading militaric, ascetic life style.
* [[Real Men Love Jesus]]: As a child.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: With Germany. They even have red eyes and blue eyes, respectively.
* [[Religious Bruiser]]: As a kid.
* [[Skinship Grope]]: To Hungary, though [[Dropped a Bridget On Him|he thought she was male]] at the time. That she is female is from then on abundantly clear.
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Boasts about his skills and hot blood, but often [[Butt Monkey|ends up beaten]].
** However he does have his moments of genuine [[Badass|Badassery]], as anyone familiar with the [[Seven Years War]] could tell you.
* [[Smug Snake]]: He'd want to be a [[Magnificent Bastard]], but all too often he can't quite pull it off.
* [[Soulsaving Crusader]]
Line 263:
** Considering Volume 3, Himaruya seemingly liked the idea and thought "[[Sure Why Not]]", hence the [[Ship Tease]] going off the ceiling.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: With France. The whole Spain/France/Prussia friendship started out as [[Fanon]], and was given [[Sure Why Not]] treatment by Himaruya.
* [[Warrior Monk]]: Was born as one.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: He was initially to have long hair and facial characteristics more like Poland, as well as being more mature.
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Has the looks, but not the aloofness.
Line 290:
== Saxony ==
* [[Determinator]]: According to Prussia, Germany inherited his stubborness from him, Hesse and Saxony.
* [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy]]
* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: To his ancestor Germania.
