Norway has short, light blond hair and dull blue eyes. He wears a belted, navy blue sailor top with a lighter blue collar, tie, and cuffs, with matching pants and sailor hat. He sports a Nordic Cross barrette in his hair, and has a detached haircurl that floats independently beside his head (and that haircurl often has a dot that floats independently beside it).

Some fans have speculated that the curl could've been the island of Svalbard, with the dot being the smaller island of Jan Mayen.

He sports a Nordic Cross barrette in his hair, and has a detached haircurl that floats independently beside his head (and that haircurl often has a dot that floats independently beside it). Himaruya hasn't mentioned what the curl is (Austria's Mariazell, America's Nantucket, Korea's Korean Spirit, etc) but has said that Norway seemed like a whimsical character, and therefore had a floating curl.

Trivia

Young Norway in the Hetalia: Volume 3 Sketchbook

  • It was rumored that Norway would appear in the first season of the Hetalia anime, and that he would be voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro. But the news "announcement", which also claimed that Denmark and Iceland would appear, turned out to be a hoax. Despite this, some websites still circulate the false seiyū information. It remains to be seen if Norway will appear in any sort of future anime adaptation of Hetalia.
