Gilbert (Prussia)

Prussia is a supporting character from the series Hetalia. His human name is Gilbert Beilschmidt, and he is the human representative of Prussia. Prussia’s age is older than 20, and his canon birthday is on January 18th. He is the older brother of Germany, and his cousin is Austria. Prussia is a young man of average height with a skinny build, light-colored hair and red eyes. His hair varies between platinum blond, white, or silver, while his eyes have also been depicted as pink or a violet hue. His face and haircut have been described as asymmetrical. In modern media, he dresses in a more casual and vintage fashion. Although Prussia is older than Germany, he is shorter in comparison due to malnutrition. Prussia will do anything to become strong, and has an arrogant attitude, believing that he is the best and still more "awesome" than others, although he hasn't really succeeded at his goal. Although he proclaims to like being alone, he is seen crying when he sees Hungary and Austria together in the Christmas Rampage 2007 strips. It was stated that this loneliness stemmed from that he felt like an enclave rather than an actual nation. Germany once said that Prussia "knows little about common sense." Deep down, it is said that his true nature is that of a punctual and diligent soldier, though his bad manners (especially during his "transition period") mask it. He is very loyal to his leaders, and had a special attachment to Frederich II, known to him as "Old Fritz". He continues to hope that Old Fritz will watch over him and that he'll be proud. It is said though, that he tends to become rather depressed if Fritz is brought up due to this attachment. It is revealed that he had kept diaries since he was formed, which led to him having an entire library of journals. Almost all of them start with passages that read "I'm so cool/I was so cool today". He also seems to be fond of cute things, and buys things such as stuffed pandas. He is respectful towards women.
