Revision as of 00:28, 30 April 2009

Feliciano Vargas is a main character in the series Axis Powers Hetalia. He is the representation of northern Italy (イタリア, Italia), and is part of the Axis Powers. He is also referred to as Italy Veneziano (イタリア=ヴェネチアーノ, Italia Venechiano), and has an older brother known as Italy Romano ( イタリア=ロマーノ, Italia Romano).

Appearance

He has short brown hair and brown eyes, with the curl on the left side of his head acting as his erogenous zone when stroked or pulled. He wears a blue uniform, a black shirt and tie, and black boots. In the earlier strips, his hair was smoother and his curl was drawn smaller, a change which was noted in a gag illustration. In earlier colored artwork, his eyes were depicted as gray rather than brown.

In his first appearance in both versions of the manga and the first two episodes of the anime, he wore a tan uniform that looked almost similar to his brother's, aside from being drawn as a jumpsuit in the manga (though it was shown as a two-piece suit in the anime).

As a child, he wore dresses and was mistakenly thought to be a girl by Holy Roman Empire and others. Often when not in uniform, he can be seen dressed in a white sailor suit-style top (with blue collar, necktie, and sleeve bands) and blue pants.

In the anime adaptation, Feliciano's hair is auburn and his tie is colored blue.

Personality And Interests

A cheerful, energetic Latiano boy that went from being the kin of Ancient Rome, to an irresponsible crybaby. He loves pasta, pizza, and cheese. He also has the verbal tic of uttering a "Ve" sound. Though he relies on Germany a lot, he doesn't really listen to what he says. His hobbies include cooking, siestas, painting, and singing.

Relationships

Ludwig (Germany)

Main article: Ludwig

After being found in an orange crate (a crate of tomatoes in the published manga and anime adaptations), Feliciano became his prisoner, then ally. With Kiku, they formed the Axis Powers. Despite their differences, Ludwig and Feliciano are rather close.

It is hinted, though not outright confirmed, that Ludwig may be Feliciano's long-lost childhood love, Holy Roman Empire.

Lovino Vargas (South Italy/Romano)

Main article: Lovino Vargas

Having been seperated for a long time, the two brothers don't get along very well. Although Lovino seems tougher than him, both of them are actually cowards and ineffectual.
