France

Francis Bonnefoy is a character in the series, Axis Powers Hetalia. He is the representation of the country, France (フランス,Furansu).

Appearance
He has shoulder-length blonde hair and blue eyes, and has a slight amount of facial hair which he believes makes him look like a "big brother". He wears a long blue coat and matching capelet, with red pants and brown boots. He is often depicted with a rose, which is also used to censor his genitalia in his nude scenes.

When he initially appeared in the webcomic, his hair was drawn shorter and less wavy, but was drawn longer over time as the art style changed and evolved.

Personality and Interests
Francis was once a large nation, but after the death of Napoleon, he was no longer any good at war and instead attracted tourists with his wine. He is a very proud and affectionate man, often shown streaking or touching other nations inappropriately. He is attracted to beautiful things, which include men and women of any age and maybe even some non-human beings. He loves himself so much that he refuses to learn English and considers French the "language of love".

Although they are both part of the Allied Forces, the two of them do not get along very well, arguing often and always trying to see which of them are better.

In The Anime
Francis appears at the world meeting in Episode 01, opting to disagree with both Alfred and Arthur in their argument.

He later appears in Episode 06, and roasts marshmallows with the other Allies on the beach. In Episode 08, he kidnaps Feliciano by disguising himself as a "pretty girl" to lure him in. In Episode 09, he attempts to break up Arthur and Alfred's fight, remarking that they should instead do something about their uniforms. He is the one to later suggest that the five Allies re-plan their war tactics.

After being left out of the second Allied Forces meeting in Episode 10, Francis reflects on his history of past "victories", insisting that he was successful a long time ago. In a flash-forward to 1956 in Episode 12, Francis proposes marriage to Arthur, believing that he'll die if he doesn't get married (due to the Suez Canal crisis that's plagued his country). Even after Arthur refused, Francis attempted to drag him off.

In episodes 9 and 13, he becomes the first of the Allies to get a glimpse at Ivan's darker side.
