Roderich Edelstein is a character in the series Axis Powers Hetalia. He represents the country Austria (オーストリア,Osutoria).
Contents
Appearance
He has somewhat wavy brown hair, with a wild strand that represents Mariazell . He wears glasses, a long navy blue coat with a white cravat, and black pants (colored tan in some earlier artwork).
Personality And Interests
He is described as a well-spoken, young master type, who was initially aloof until he was saddled with too many burdens. He gives higher priority to his hobbies rather than his work, and is more optimistic and quiet in comparison to Ludwig who is more serious and work-orientated. His interests are art, music (the piano in particular), and cake.
In the Anime
Roderich made a very brief appearance during the Chibitalia segment in Episode 02 as one of four characters kicking Chibitalia in the air. In Episode 04, he gained control over and made Chibitalia as his servant. In Episode 06, we see an adult Austria for the first time. He complains to Ludwig that having Feliciano was a bad move and that he is mass-producing white flags as they speak. To express his anger, he played a piano piece from Chopin.
In the second half of the episode, Ludwig states that he has been living at his house. Also during the second half, Roderich complains at Ludwig to stop throwing away his underwear (because they are still wearable), but Ludwig refuses to wear them because of the holes in them. In the end, he ended up wearing the underwear after Roderich patched them up.
Roderich is later seen in the checkout line in Episode 14, and becomes frustrated at the amount of time that Antonio is taking to do his job.
