it's a possibility but i've also noticed there's generally a lot of inconsistencies with the characters, especially in the original webcomic. it seems like it might apply to austria (which would be so cool!) but i kind of doubt it does on any of the other characters (except maybe korea) because those curls just seem to be changes in how Himaruya drew them ^.^ but don't trust me, i've ony been into hetalia for a few months xD
