Berwald Oxenstierna is a character in the series Axis Powers Hetalia. He represents the country of Sweden (スウェーデン,Suweden).

Appearance

He has short, light blonde hair and green eyes, and wears glasses. His uniform and hat are navy blue.

Personality And Interests

He was once a Viking and the "Conqueror Of The Baltic Sea", but now stands neutral in military matters. He is silent and difficult to understand, not speaking much due to the fact that he was born in a cold area.

His hobbies include making furniture and art, and it is said that his canned Surströmming can be used as a deadly weapon. He speaks in a Tohoku accent, often translated as grunting and truncated words.

Relationships

Tino Väinämöinen (Finland)

Main Article:Tino Väinämöinen

The two were once under the control of Denmark, but escaped. From there on, the two began living with each other, Berwald considering him to be his "wife" (though Tino denies such relation).


Peter Kirkland (Sealand)

Main Article:Peter Kirkland

Berwald's adoptive son, who he bought from an auction. He also has partial custody of Raivis and Eduard.

In one strip, after Peter ignored his "papa" in favor of playing video games and watching TV, Berwald came up with a solution: He wrote "England" on a box, placed the box over Peter, and began shaking it, creating what he called a Dambolis.

In The Anime

Berwald is first seen in a brief cameo in Episode 01, sitting next to Tino in the meeting room. He later appears in Episode 14 as one of the many characters stuck in line at the supermarket, and comments on what a peaceful day it is.

His character design was altered slightly for the anime, with his blonde hair being changed to a light brown, while his eyes became a darker brown.
