Talk:Hungary

Himaruya's Production Notes
・Normally she is gentle and calm in character, but in fight she right then changes to neesan-like expressions and rides through the wilderness on her horse with a bow or a gun in one hand, as a former equestrian tribe.

・She has, however, a complex about her fighting skills getting rusty after settling down.

・She hates Prussia because he has been making fun of her hardships since childhood.

・She also loathes Romania, Turkey and Mongol.

・She does have defiant feelings about being under Austria's rule but at the same time she harbours complicated, yearninglike feelings towards him.

・At the time of the 21st century Hungary is a little bit older than Austria.

・She is a rare female character in Hetalia. Initially she was supposed to be a more snide character because she was created with the idea of a "witch" or "shoots you with arrows if mistaken for a man" kind of woman.

Notes on the different spellings for her name
The kana for her given name reads エリザベータ ("Erizabe^ta") which is often translated to "Elizabeta" or "Elizaveta" (or substitute the "z"s for "s" for other spellings).

I decided to do some double-checking since there's been edit conflicts over Lithuania's human name, and see which spelling would be best for article usage:


 * Elisabeth (or Elizabeth) comes out as エリザベート, romaji reading is "Erizabe^to".


 * Though Erzsébet is the proper Hungarian cognate for it, it's エルジェーベト in Japanese. Romaji is approximately "Erujie^beto".

So it appears either Elizabeta or Elizaveta is Himaruya's intended name for her. I think it's the former, although yes, Erzsébet would have been a better choice (being the Hungarian version and all). Ceras SanMarina 21:59, March 22, 2010 (UTC)
