Talk:List of Hetalia: Axis Powers characters

Characters Planned/Not Yet Fully Introduced
This is just here for clarification (at the time of this writing) as to what characters have been mentioned or alluded to, but have yet to get any screentime or information. I'll be using the 2ch fan-primer for some simplicity, but with additions of my own from what the Japanese fans forgot to include so far in both descriptions and characters:

◆Original Proposals of Countries （except where ideas are scrapped）※Characters that have appeared in the anime ◆

Characters with a setting but no images:
 * Vatican: A grandpa. Has very poor relations with the Italy brothers.
 * Portugal: Has a terrible relationship with Spain. May be a girl (not confirmed)
 * Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales: Elder brothers of England. Strange eyebrows. Yes, I know the "Northern" Ireland thing is strange. We'll see if this is still the case when they're actually introduced.
 * Ireland: Thick eyebrows.
 * North Korea: Likes reading and dancing. A quiet type of child that would play musical instruments in the shade. Is in the opposite position of South Korea.
 * Romania: Has a cat-and-dog relationship with Hungary.
 * Luxembourg: Finland says "A very elegant person!".
 * Cyprus: Speaks in the Iris CD. A bland man.
 * Albania: Fuhihis and crowds the house of Greece.
 * India: The default setting is a Maharaja-type uncle. But they might come out with a younger feeling.
 * Singapore: Mentioned as having been designed, but we've yet to see the design.
 * The rest of the ASEAN 10 (Cambodia, Laos, Brunei, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, and Indonesia): Himaruya wants to work on them, but time will tell when or if we see them.
 * Mexico: Mentioned in the drama CD adaptation of Lithuania's Out-Sourcing. Himaruya himself seems to have no ideas given yet, but we shall see.
 * Ethiopia: Mentioned by Himaruya in an early post on Gakuen Hetalia, in name-dropping of characters that were to be in the game. He also has dialogue in the demo, but no face. He's the picked-on one of the class due to the association with Italy.
 * Libya: Mentioned by Himaruya in the same post, but they do not appear in either the demo or the screenplay.
 * Cabinda, Guinea-Bissau, Congo (Belgian), Sahara: Also have brief dialogue in the demo like Ethiopia, but no faces.

Characters with images but no storylines yet:
 * Czech Republic: May be a little girl with a poor relationship with Liechtenstein. Could also be a mysterious character with a curly hair.
 * Slovakia: May be an older man. Could also be mysterious with a curly hair.
 * Netherlands: A macho man, lolicon, and junkie. Has a scar on his forehead. The older brother of Belgium.
 * ※Belgium: A tall and gentle-mannered woman. The younger sister of Netherlands. Speaks in Shiga dialect.
 * Cameroon: Has a cross-shaped wound in the back of the head and forehead? A black man. Wears glasses.
 * Vietnam: A black-haired woman wearing an ao dai.
 * Thailand: A positive and peaceful youth.
 * Mongolia: Only an image. A man that wears Mongolian clothing and a hat.
 * Taiwan: A girl wearing flower ornaments in her hair and a long silly hair. Strong-willed, but her worries will not die.
 * Australia: A boy with a koala and the same eyebrows as England. More famous than Austria.
 * TRNC: Appeared in the trading cards. Speaks in the Iris CD.
 * Monaco: Relaxed and optimistic, but seems to have an elegant feel. Design is tentative, appears as a girl with glasses and a braid.
 * Saxony: A guy with long blond hair. Appears as one of Holy Roman Empire's guards and with Prussia in a doodle, as well as in a footnote page to the Austrian Succession strip.
 * Bavaria: A guy with short, spiky blond hair. Appears with Saxony in the footnote page.

Characters that appeared with dialogue in a storyline:
 * ※Bulgaria: A man that beats Italy up with a stick. See page 35 of the first volume of the published manga.
 * Tibet: A man with the appearance of a monk. See page 3 of "The Story Of China and Teensy Japan".
 * Moldova: Shown briefly in the second part of the European Economy strip in an omake doodle, bemoaning their bad economy. Due to them being a vague chibi, it's uncertain if we've got a male or a female Moldova here.
 * Kenya: A female African nation with a ponytail. Appears briefly in the Gakuen Hetalia demo as a chibi head to introduce herself.
 * Zimbabwe: An African nation with short spiky hair. They also appear as a chibi in the demo, but their gender is uncertain. Japanese fandom seems to favor them being female, sometimes male. The international fans tend to see them as a girl.
 * Ghana: Appears as a chibi head with dreadlocks. Japanese fandom favors them as a boy, mostly.
 * Botswana: Appears as a chibi head with a rat tail. They're also speculated to be a boy, but also to be female (as with Ghana).
 * Uganda: A bald chibi head. May either be a man or a bald woman, but the few fanarts that reference them seem to decide "male".

Ancients who have yet to appear in any capacity:
 * Ancient Greece/Byzantine: Is "Byzantine" in the site timeline and the independent first drama CD, "Ancient Greece" in Greece's profile.
 * Ancient Egypt: Name-dropped in Egypt's profile.
 * Magyar/Hun: Mentioned on the Bamboo Thicket blog as "Magyar", but "Hun" in the GakuHeta screenplay.

Proposed split
More of a brainchild, really, but considering the length of this article, maybe it would be of interest to take characters without articles and move them to a new list called "List of minor Hetalia Axis Powers characters" or some such. This list will not be getting shorter any time soon, but many characters won't be getting articles until they are expanded on (Cameroon, Australia, etc.) Moving them makes navigating this page much easier and gives users an idea of what characters are prominent in the series, or at least ones that have enough information to warrant a page. Also, perhaps link "Animals of Hetalia" to this page as well, and change the name to something like "Creatures of Hetalia", so it may encompass Tony and other beings.

Both could be easily linked to from the top of the page as a "See also:" note and would decrease the length of this article. Also, Animals of Hetalia doesn't seem to get much traffic, so this (or at least the latter idea) could help with that problem. Thoughts? Watermint 01:09, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

I kind of like the sound of that idea! "Creatures" is a better name theme too. Ceras SanMarina 01:48, April 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Also, I'd like to make it clear that a character, once it gets an article, can always be moved back to the main list. It wouldn't be permanent by any means :) Watermint 20:08, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * I see you've made a link--I'll go ahead and create the page, then. I already created a rough draft, so all I need to do is change the fonts and links. Thanks again! Watermint 00:08, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

No problem! I hope Lilly will find it easier to navigate too. And if Asia3 is indeed a badly-drawn Vietnam rough, she can always be taken off if that's confirmed. There are so many characters that have yet to really do much, whether they have a face or not. I wonder if volume 3 will bring anything for some of them, or even new and unexpected nation characters...Ceras SanMarina 01:11, April 15, 2010 (UTC)
