Full article: Uniform Guide: Bulgaria
Bulgaria has short hair with bangs that are parted in the middle. He has fair skin and turquoise is confirmed to be the colour of his eyes in an official coloured sketch of him. He appears to have two uniforms; his uniform is shown as gray-green in the anime. The other uniform is in a light black colour with buttoned sleeves. He wears a leather belt to hang his holster and ammo pouch, alongside white gloves.
He resembles the main character from the anime "Attack on Titan" and has been drawn in a Survey Corps jacket because of this.
Personality And Interests
He is a member of the Axis Powers yet states that he has always had a desire to hit Italy with a stick. Bulgaria is quiet unless he's with people he's close to. He is also shown to be thrifty and works hard, but seems to struggle in the EU. He also rather has an unnatural obsession with yoghurt as he had appeared dressed as a yoghurt fairy. In World Stars Chapter 347, he says that he rarely gets praised so when he does get it, his back will become itchy.
Bulgaria shakes his head to mean 'Yes' and nods to say 'No', on which many characters are confused with this.
