Prussia

(This page is a work in progress, as are all the other individual character pages. Please add or remove anything you must!)

Prussia is a supporting character in Hetalia: Axis Powers: Paint it, White and Hetalia: Axis Powers (anime).

In the years 2007 and 2008, Himaruya gave some characters human names, and Prussia received the name Gilbert Beilschmidt (sometimes mistakenly known as Weilshmidt). In fanon, he usually shares his surname with Germany.

Appearance
Full Article: Uniform Guide: Prussia

Prussia bears little resemblance to his brother Germany, largely due to the fact that he's albino. Overall, his complexion is pale, with his hair being a silvery white colour and his eyes red, but these do not necessarily give him a menacing aura. His hair is short and straight and not carefully styled like his brother's, as he asymmetrical bangs. His most commonly seen uniform is similar to Germany's but a shade of darker blue, complete with an Iron Cross necklace. Prussia is also most times seen accompanied by a small yellow bird, in a way that it's like a unique accessory. The bird is often called "Gilbird", and sometimes sports a small hat, presumeably given to it by Prussia.

Personality
Prussia loves fighting, and sometimes purposely starts quarrels, and would probably do anything to become a nation again. He also has a "world-sized" ego. Although he claims to enjoy being alone and that clustering is for the weak, he was brought to tears upon seeing Hungary and Austria together, though he admitted the tears were already welling up from love of being alone. Despite this, he seems to have many good friends. He's fought for his own survival since he was a younger nation, and is very strong as a result. He has even maintained this strength in modern times despite his status as region, forcing one of the Parallel Frances off of him and out of the house through a window with a single shove. Germany once said that hepw knows little about common sense. Though it is said that his true nature is that of a punctual, diligent soldier and seems severe, methodical, and serious, though his bad manners (especially during his "transition period" mask it. This is supported by Latvia stating that Prussia was very punctual and never late for anything, very methodical, and very persistent in his diary writing, never missing a day. Latvia also said that Prussia "loots everything and opens all the drawers" showing his methodicalness in a rather negative way.

Austria
Prussia takes pleasure in annoying and humiliating Austria in whatever way he can, and fought against him in wars in the past, seizing Silesia for himself in the War Of Austrian Succession. On numerous occasions, he finds himself alone and crying. Prussia will mention that he is happy alone unlike a certain "stupid aristocrat". In the Christmas Strips, Prussia has to tell himself that he would rather be alone than with others "because clustering is for the weak. Yeah, like that stupid aristocr--". Prussia often speaks negatively of Austria. In the present day while living with his brother, Prussia freeloads off of Austria as well. In his blog, Prussia went to Austria's house and began to bother him by pulling on his cheek, amused and pleased at how stretchy it was. In the Maria Theresa arc of the anime, Prussia often attempted to make Austria beg for mercy during the battle. He also mentioned wanting a painter to come and paint Austria's face after he had lost the first battle, so that his failure could be etched into history.

Germany
Prussia is Germany's older brother and the one who formed him from the unification of his brothers. He calls Germany West, while Germany refers to him as Brother. Having been the leading state of the German Confederation, he acted as the most brotherly state after his birth, calling himself his "best big brother." However, he also thinks of himself as Germany's superior and calls their tie an undesirable but inseparable one. Prussia is depicted as teaching Germany diplomatic poses and battle strategies. After World War II, Prussia represented Eastern Germany, and later moved in with his brother after German reunification. Prussia has said that he and his brother have a "wall in their hearts" and that they need to get rid of it so that they can become a better, more effective country. Germany is annoyed by his brother's wild attitude and his tendency to buy strange things which clutter up their living room and make it difficult to clean. He also sees him as having little common sense and is bothered that Prussia doesn't seem to help around the house. However, Germany agrees that Prussia is a very hard worker and Prussia was later shown to be just as neat as his brother. They acknowledge that they are not much alike (while ironically too absorbed in cleaning and folding clothes to realize they were doing it together) and Germany states that it would be too noisy if he were like Prussia. The two also share a love of beer. In the Halloween event of 2011, Prussia tells India, after Germany performs a suplex on him, that it happens regularly and is nothing to worry over. About a month before the Halloween party, Germany banned Prussia from using the computer. Prussia announced that, if Germany also forbid him from attending the party, he would stay in bed just to upset him. It was revealed, however, that Germany intended to have Prussia go with him and Italy, but Prussia declined the invitation and indicated he would eventually arrive. Prussia's late appearance caused Germany to worry somewhat. Prussia informed him that he might show up to the 2012 Christmas event as well, but reminded him that he was very elusive and could appear at any time, prompting Germany to say that they always had to be prepared for him to show up. Prussia admits during his and Germany's Counting Sheep CD that he does find himself wanting to act in a big brother capacity. He seems proud of Germany's strength and growth thus far, although he resents his stubbornness. His strength apparently makes him feel safe, as he is less afraid of Russia because of it. Prussia states that Germany is very competent and does most of the nation's work, which allows him to do nothing but read all day. In addition, Germany is shown to accept some of Prussia's stories, having believed Prussia when he told him how cool he was as a child until watching a video of him.

Hungary
She and Prussia were rivals as children, though Prussia also was called by her to assist in the defense of her house(and he was kicked out following his claiming the territory he was to protect.) Prussia and Hungary herself both believed Hungary to be male until he groped her chest, believing himself to be attacking a weak spot, only to feel that her chest was soft from her developing breasts. She revealed that she believed her penis would grow in before she grew up, proving to Prussia that she didn't already have one.

A drawing of Hungary and Prussia from the 2009 Christmas Requests. She continued to believe she was male despite Prussia's attempts to inform her otherwise some time until she reached puberty. After a fight with Turkey she was badly injured and they happened upon one another. Though her injuries shocked him at first, he proceeded to say he'd need to do "some really intimate care" on her, telling her not to get the wrong idea, disturbing her. Tearing the cloth of his robe from over his crotch off, he attempted to force her to allow him to bandage her with it, before he noticed and was shocked by her breasts and began to tear a different part of his robe off to bandage her with. His reaction confirmed for her that she really was a girl. They parted ways after Prussia gave her the entirety of the robe. About a year later, she calmed down, began to wear dresses and settled down at Austria's house, beginning to work for him. Prussia, having gotten over the concrete reveal of her gender quickly, proceeded to go to Austria's house to see her and, expressing confusion at her maid dress, demanding she take it off so they could go hunting. Shaking and smiling with discomfort, she claimed she, "unfortunately," was no longer interested in hunting and "with such a feeling, they have been spending their time." Prussia has also expressed a distaste for her, telling both her and Austria to go home on Christmas as they were having a "family-only"(plus the Italies) Christmas, intending to employ the Lesser Germany Solution despite it being the 21st century. Hungary expressed her desire to beat him immensely, though they did nothing but make childish sounds at one another. Furthermore, in a requested "2-short" image of them, they were shown glaring harshly at one another. Since he made fun of her problems during their younger years and went on a rampage at her house in the past, Hungary dislikes him in the present and often hits him with her frying pan whenever the opportunity arises, especially if he's bothering Austria. Despite this, she admitted that she did not want Prussia to die as her life would be boring without him, bandaged him up after hitting him in Austria's ending of Osōji Prussia, and was worried for him after he was attacked by one of the Parallel Frances. In Notosama 5, Prussia claimed that "clothes-changing Hungary has always been" his upon finding Yamato and Noto spying on Hungary change in his personal spot to do so in, somewhat hinting at feelings he may have for her. A mascot chibi of them also had Prussia saying they should go eat lunch somewhere, with Hungary thinking that he never learns, implying this has happened more than once. The image's title, "Unrequited," may also imply a one-sided crush on Prussia's part.
