* ProperLady: As her profile in Volume 6.

[[hardline]]
* AnimeHair
* BareFistedMonk: In {{Fanon}}, due to Thailand being the "home" of the very brutal fighting style known as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muay_Thai Muay Thai]].

--> '''Thailand:''' Please don't.

* OnlySixFaces: People used to mistake him with Austria until some point out [[http://www.zerochan.net/531494 this]]. Play more straight with [[PaletteSwap Denmark]] who he is just a different hair color version of. [[http://nihatayukiwa.deviantart.com/art/Hetalia-Thailand-and-Denmark-are-Twin-278468121 Just look at this when they actually interact each other]].

* CantHoldHerLiquor: Is said to be dangerous when drunk.
%%* TheCutie: Her appearance. Approved by Taiwan and the author's description of her profile. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample; how does her appearance fit, and what is the description?)

-->'''Taiwan:''' It's okay, Vietnam's a cutie!

%%** And another NiceHat in her military uniform. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)

%%* ShesGotLegs (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
* TheStoic: While not to PerpetualFrowner levels, [[EmotionlessGirl she has to ask Thailand to teach her how to smile]].

* AttentionWhore: Loves being the center of attention just like America.
** As demonstrated in the Asean-centric chapters, he would try to dominate or steer the conversation to what he likes to talk about; whether asking Italy about what is his favorite food in his place or the fact he comes in to Indonesia and Malaysia's conversation to talk about his muscles.

* BrutalHonesty: Tends to do this with a smile on his face.

-->'''Philippines:''' That's totally Thailand! The so called land of smiles is actually buff and is good at gambling and scary when angr--
--> '''Thailand:''' Hmmm?
--> '''Indonesia:''' Philippines, that's enough! O-oh no...

* TheGadfly: Not to the extent of Singapore but in the strips he has appeared, he seems to enjoy riling Thailand and is the Wise Guy to Indonesia's StraightMan.

* TheTwink: The fandom loves to portray him as this, especially towards Indonesia.

->''So I, um, have the privilege to, kinda like give an opening speech to wish for our... development aaaaand... growth......''

* BadassBiker: Fits well with his CoolShades.
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Is this towards the Philippines and Malaysia.
* DeadpanSnarker: Is shown to be rather snarky at times.
* {{Hunk}}: Has a handsome face and well-built frame, though fans tend to exaggerate the size of his pecs a lot in fan art.

* PrimalFear: According to character notes, he is afraid of the dark as he thinks it may be haunted.

* StraightManAndWiseGuy: Has this dynamic with the Philippines, being the StraightMan to the latter's Wise Guy.

* DeadpanSnarker: ''Especially'' when Malaysia is concerned.

* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Is the Responsible Sibling to Malaysia's Foolish Sibling. Might have something to do with them sharing the water bill...
* TheGadfly: Instantly lives up to the 'Fine City' reputation by warning the other ASEAN members not to make a mess lest they'll be fined with a smug smile on his face. He then says he's joking after the Philippines and Thailand respond with a BigWhat. In fanon, this is taken to AnnoyingYoungerSibling levels.
* HiddenDepths: Don't let Singapore's cute appearance fool you - he's mentally tough.
* NeatFreak: Blithely warns the ASEAN members not to spill food on the ground or they'll be fined.
** According to his character description however, his own room is messy despite having a neat and fashionable appearance.

* {{Omniglot}}: Being a multi-cultural nation with 4 national languages means that fanworks will very often portray Singapore speaking multiple languages at once, Singlish[[labelnote:note]]local slang that consists of English mixed in with Malay, Chinese and other dialects[[/labelnote]] optional. If speaking formally, expect to see the Prime Minister's famous blue cup in hand.

* AnimalMotifs: Malaysia's hairstyle is partially inspired from his national animal, the Malayan tiger.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Comes to the conclusion that Singapore is {{Tsundere}} for him after realizing the latter has only shown his tourist smile to every other people besides him.

* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Is the Foolish Sibling to Singapore's Responsible Sibling.

* IJustWantToBeLoved: Has a really bad case of this.

* SkewedPriorities: Went to play with sea cucumbers instead of attending the meeting. By the time he arrives at the cafe for the meeting, it was long over.

* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Sometimes portrayed like this in fanart, specially if it also features [[{{Moe}} Taiwan]]. The most recent manga also makes her look very pretty and a little aloof when in her [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ao_Dai áo dài]].
** When in the presence of her Southeast Asian colleagues, she's far more bewildered and exasperated by their antics.
* AsianAndNerdy: [[GamerChick A gamer]], indeed. She was showed playing ''Uncharted 3'' in a [[http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1308.html recent sketch on Himaruya's blog ]].

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Based on [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Vietnam her true history]], we know that many powerful forces such as America, China, France, Mongolia Empire, etc. have learnt their lesson.
** Seems to live up to this during the 2011 Christmas event where she takes charge of the girls' meeting.
* BoobsOfSteel: Subverted. While she's described as one of the physically stronger females, canon and fanartists mostly draw her with average chest and opt for HartmanHips instead.
* BrainyBrunette: According to WordOfGod.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: She may have been hinted to be this during the Halloween Event where she shows up dressed as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOPIO Vietnamese robot Topio]]. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments And wins.]]

* [[CoolBigSis Big Sis]] / TeamMom: She is often portrayed like that to other Asian-tans besides TeamDad China by fandom.
* TheCutie: Her appearance. Approved by Taiwan and the author's description of her profile.

--> ''She has a rough background, so despite [[{{Moe}} her cute face]], [[PluckyGirl this girl is pretty darn tough!]]'
* DefeatByModesty: She is not happy during the 2013 Halloween event when Taiwan makes the skirt of her costume shorter than what she's comfortable with.
* FlowerMotifs: Fanon loves to draw her with lotuses, which do show up in some of the illustrations she's in from time to time.
** Or a ribbon in the fifth volume.
* HartmanHips / SexySantaDress: One of Himaruya's Christmas sketches [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vietnamchan_4583.gif gives her a rather large butt.]]
** ShesGotLegs: Look at "DefeatByModesty"
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Often in fanart and fanfiction, Vietnam becomes the ''only one'' (besides Belarus) who admires Russia as the nicest person and wants to be like him.

-->'''Taiwan''': It's okay, Vietnam's a cutie!
* ImprobableWeaponUser: In [[http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1041.html this sketch]] on Himaruya's blog, Vietnam is shown with her rice paddle in a military uniform.
* {{Joshikousei}}: During the 2011 Christmas event, she's shown wearing the same more sailor style of uniform that Taiwan sports in Gakuen art.
* KimonoFanService: In the Halloween event 2013, she wears [[ShesGotLegs a short kimono]] which was made by Taiwan.
* LadyOfWar: A popular {{fanon}} depiction, which is supported by Himaruya's description of her.
* {{Meido}}: Jossed. She was featured dressed as one in a very old sketch on Himaruya's blog (which many people mistook as a design for a Philippines), and it was not revealed that that was her until years later. However, that design seems to have been completely thrown out.
** Played straight again as one of her Halloween outfits in a 2014 sketch.

** And another NiceHat in her military uniform.
* OnlySaneWoman: During the casual [=ASEAN=] meeting, she's the one to point out the drawbacks of making meetings more laidback. Considering what [[CloudcuckooLander Thailand]], [[{{Keet}} the Philippines]], [[TallDarkAndSnarky Indonesia]], [[TheGadfly Singapore]] and [[TheDitz Malaysia]] are, it's safe to say that she's the most reasonable out of the [=ASEAN=] group.

** NotSoStoic: [[LuminescentBlush Blushes intensely]] when checking on some photos in the manga. She's also more expressive during the [=ASEAN=] meetings, ranging from exclaiming that there were drawbacks to making meetings less formal to being flustered when the Philippines casually tells her that she was the last to arrive for the meeting.

* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Taiwan's red.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Has an aloof appearance and seems to be a generally quiet girl, but has also shown signs of shyness and HeroicSelfDeprecation. This peaks in the 2013 Halloween event, since she's '''extremely''' flustered when she wears one of Taiwan's outfits and it turns out to be a bit too skimpy for her taste.
* {{Tsundere}}: By the fandom. Especially when she's paired with America, China or France. If it's [[NiceGuy Thai]][[BoyNextDoor land]] or [[LesYay Taiwan]]? Scratch out "Tsun" and make her 100% "Dere".
** More proof in the Halloween event 2013. Vietnam [[ZettaiRyouiki wears a]] [[KimonoFanService short kimono]] with GirlishPigtails and her attitude towards Taiwan. All things make her fits this trope perfectly.
* TomboyishPonytail: Sometimes, it varies from picture to picture. Sometimes they even resemble a HimeCut.
** LettingHerHairDown: In the 2013 Halloween event.
* {{Tomboy}}: Yup. With Taiwan, they become TomboyAndGirlyGirl. [[http://www.hetarchive.net/scanlations/volume4.php?t07 Especially in the manga.]] They're also [[SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl Savvy Tomboy, Energetic Girly Girl.]] An interesting case is that their personality seem to be opposite.
** The 2011 Bloodbath also added more hints when she dressed in a more masculine way than the other females when in casual clothing.
* WhenSheSmiles: [[http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1349.html#more Happens in a recent blog post]], and it's absolutely adorable.
** After she sees Thailand wearing a bunny shirt she is mix of this and when she laughs.

* FanPreferredCouple: Fans love pairing Indonesia with his colonizer Netherlands despite both of them not seen interacting in canon yet.

** TheChick: The Philippines. His enthusiasm and cheerfulness helps lighten the mood for everyone else.

* HeadPet: Always has his pet tarsier Pien-kun on his head or shoulder.

* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Is this to the Philippines, shares this with Thailand but him more so.

* SkewedPriorities: Went to play with sea cucumbers instead of attending the meeting. By the time he arrives at the cafe for the meeting, it was long over.

** NotSoStoic: [[LuminescentBlush Blushes intensely]] when checking on some photos in the manga.

* OnlySaneWoman: Between [[CloudcuckooLander Thailand]], [[{{Keet}} the Philippines]], [[TallDarkAndSnarky Indonesia]], [[TheGadfly Singapore]] and [[TheDitz Malaysia]], it's safe to say that she's the most reasonable out of the [=ASEAN=] group.
