Toris Lorinaitis is a character in the series Axis Powers Hetalia. He represents Lithuania (リトアニア,Ritoania).

Appearance

He has shoulder-length brown hair, green eyes, and wears a green uniform.

Personality And Interests

The eldest "brother" of the three Baltics, Toris controlled Middle and Eastern Europe during the Middle Ages, until he was taken by Ivan. After the Soviet Union fell, he regained his independence and went to rehabilitate with Feliks.

He is bit of a serious introvert, and winds up being easy to take advantage of. He also tends to depress himself so much that he gets a stomachache. He's into martial arts and literature, and drives a secondhand car.

Relationships

Ivan Braginski (Russia)

Main Article:Ivan Braginski

He was often threatened and bullied by Ivan, who took a childish sense of cruelty and pleasure in it, and left him with several scars. Toris was able to get away from Ivan's Soviet rule for a brief period of time after WWI, but wound up having to return to him after Alfred became poor due to the Great Depression.

In the present day strips, Ivan wants nothing more than to see Toris come back to him.

Natalia Arlovskaya (Belarus)

Main Article:Natalia Arlovskaya

Toris holds a crush on Ivan's younger sister, though it isn't returned, for she only has eyes for her brother.

When he finally tried to go out on a date with her, it ended with her breaking all his fingers, though he continued to remain oblivious to her harsh nature.

Feliks Łukasiewicz (Poland)

The two have been rather close friends, though Feliks can be self-centered, as shown in the earlier strips where their relationship seemed to be more one-sided.

Feliks refers to Toris as "Liet", and won't stand for him being bullied by Ivan (as revealed in later strips).

Alfred F.Jones (America)

Main Article: Alfred F.Jones

After becoming poor due to the fallout of WWI, Toris lived with Alfred for a brief period of time, outsourcing and working for him as his housekeeper. But after the Great Depression hit and poverty spread to the other nations, Toris was forced to return to his self-proclaimed "ex", Ivan.

In The Anime

Toris first briefly appears at the meeting in Episode 01, as Ivan states that he only wants to see him come running back to him with a troubled face.

He shows up later on in Episode 17: America's Cleaning Of The Storage, which marks his first formal appearance in the anime, and his first speaking part. In the episode, he offers to clean out Alfred's storage room for him, but Alfred insists he can handle it alone. Toris then decides that he'll go make coffee.

Toris's character design was relatively unchanged in the anime adaptation, aside from his green eyes being changed to a shade of blue.

Trivia

• Though his name is usually rendered as Toris Lorinaitis by fans, other spellings like Taurys Laurinaitis and Thoris Lolinitis have been used in both the Japanese and international fandoms.
