Personality And Interests

Mongolia appears at the end of The Story Of China And Teensy Japan carrying a bow and arrow. In the drawing China appears to be guarding Japan from him, and he is shown to have bullied Hungary in her youth alongside Turkey (then the Ottoman Empire). [2]It seems that he may also have bullied China, as Himaruya said in a 2006 blog post that he thought the story of China being bullied by Mongolia "might be cute".[3] Mongolia has also been mentioned as having dominated Russia and made China cringe, and also having had a personality change described as "surprising", but it is unknown as to whether this personality change was a change in the character's personality over the course of his life or Himaruya changing his mind about the character's personality.[4] It is possible that it was the latter that he meant, however, as despite stating in a blog post in May of 2008 that he had decided on a character for Mongolia,[5] he stated later the same year in another blog post that while initially he had envisioned a "very wild" character for Mongolia, he had grown to envision him as being more "nonchalant".[6]

Appearance

Saxony resembles a young Germania, and has long hair and is normally depicted in a military uniform. No official color illustrations of him exist.

Personality And Interests

In nearly all of his appearances he is shown as one of the members of the Holy Roman Empire and the German Confederation. He was briefly mentioned in a summary of the events of the War Of Austrian Succession - where he appeared in an illustration alongside Prussia, Bavaria, Spain, and France - where he tried to obtain Moravia. He is also mentioned as having been involved in the Seven Years' War.

He is most often depicted alongside Prussia, though he appears independently as one of Holy Roman Empire's soldiers during the Chibitalia storyline, where he watches HRE and Italy exchange their final goodbyes before HRE headed out to war.

In Osōji Prussia, it is said that his stubbornness rubbed off on Germany himself.

  • In 2010, Saxony was mentioned in the online mini-game Osōji Prussia, in which Prussia implied that he may still be alive. In response to questions raised by some of this dialogue, it was clarified that Prussia is a "retired" nation that passed on his skills and traits to Germany, and may in fact disappear and die out over time. Exactly how many other Former German Nations are still alive, and whether or not Saxony is alive, remains unknown.

He followed this up with a explanation saying that he was, to him, a friendly and brave character who likes alcohol, cats, haggis, and either likes or has a rich culture. He included a very rough sketch of a man with bushy eyebrows resembling England's, and a somewhat long, thick hairstyle.[5] Scotland was mentioned in another blog post a few months later to be among the most widely requested characters.[8]
  • In 2014, Himaruya posted an unidentified color sketch of Scotland on Bamboo Thicket, and noted that he is "without a doubt a tsundere."[9]

Nero (ネロちゃん Nero-chan?) is the fifth emperor of the Roman Empire. He is nicknamed "The Tyrant", though other aspects of the character are more emphasized in his portrayal in Hetalia, focusing on his younger years before the death of his mother Agrippina.[7]

Attributes

A 'chibi' version of Nero from the Shonen Jump+ website.

Appearance

Originally, he was depicted as a larger, muscular man with dark hair.[8][9] After doing some research on his appearance, however, Himaruya changed his design. In his new design he is shown as a "subculture dude with bright hair and light-blue eyes,"[10]. He is on the chubbier side,[11][7] though his hands and feet were slender.[12] Similar to the character designs of the Italian nations, he is depicted with a hair curl. He is shown wearing a crown, a toga, and sandals.[11]

Personality and Interests

Growing up while his mother was in exile, he developed a love of Greek culture and art,[7] and wanted to be a poet and join a theatre company when he grew up. However, when he began living with his mother again, she began bullying him into striving for the position of emperor. At age 17 he successfully became emperor, though he did not give up his dreams of being a poet, and is shown in various strips writing poems and playing music.[13] According to his profile, the hardest blow for him is when someone makes fun of his poems and he likes to be the center of attention.[7] At one point when he is knocked unconcious, he dreams that he is being welcomed into a theater troupe.[12]

Despite his negativity about being emperor, he's hopeful he'll make a good one with the help of those around him, though he openly admits he's not very good at it.[7][14] Character notes say that he's the type who wants to be ordered around by his girlfriend. He is shown to have an infatuation with a woman named Poppaea.[7] However, in a discarded strip, he says that he's afraid of Roman women and is worried he won't find a lover ever again. He says lately has been thinking that a cute boy wouldn't be bad instead, before leaning towards Anicetus.[9]

While his future as the Tyrant is only alluded to briefly, an earlier cameo details how late in life he competed in the Olympics, using his power and influence to win seven categories including a singing competition where he had an awful voice. As a result the singing competition was abolished following his death.[8]

Relationships

Main article: Ancient Roman historical characters#Nero (54-68 CE)

Agrippina

His relationship with his mother is largely fear based, as she is regularly shown tricking and intimidating him.[7][13] Upon getting drunk, he begins to talk about how she's scary and has a death grip on his life and he's sick of it.[12]

Anicetus

Anicetus shows very little respect to Nero, despite his being emperor, calling him a brat and openly telling him that his poems are bad. [14] However, he does respect Nero to a certain extent, it just doesn't show in his attitude. Nero on the other hand is very friendly towards his former teacher and frequently calls him by nicknames including "Ani" and "Anice", much to Anicetus' annoyance.

Burrus

Burrus' job is to protect Nero and is usually strict with him, though he occasionally indulges him as well. Nero has a high opinion of Burrus, telling Anicetus that he is "highly talented". [14]

Seneca

Seneca is another of Nero's former tutors who patiently supports him and babies him. Nero however appears to think of him simply as being greedy. [14]

Appearances

Manga

Nero originally made a cameo appearance several years before his official debut in France and the Olympia Romance in a footnote about his participation in the 67 CE Olympics.[8] This strip was later collected as a part of Volume 2. He makes his official debut in the second serialized chapter of World☆Stars, beginning an ongoing storyline following his early exploits as emperor of Rome.[7] Further storylines in the serialization involve him trying to deal with his mother Agrippina, who in many ways has become more of an emperor than he has, and becoming reacquainted with his childhood tutor Anicetus, whom he meets after getting into a fight with some men on the street.[13][12][14] In a strip using his old character design posted to Bamboo Thicket, he has difficulty remembering how old Anicetus is because his memories of his childhood were largely focused on himself.[9]
