* {{Bokukko}}: In a rather odd variation, Monaco [[TheOjou is]] [[LongHairIsFeminine very]] [[PrincessesPreferPink feminine]], but according to WordOfGod, her manner of speech mirrors that of a middle aged man.

* LikeBrotherAndSister: Notes say her and France's relationship comes off as this. Although France being [[AnythingThatMoves France]], he probably doesn't see it the same way as she does.

* SenpaiKohai: Implied to be the nature of her relationship with Seychelles, as Monaco refers to Seychelles with the suffix "-kun", something often used by seniors referring to their kohai. Fandom often portrays them in this sort of relationship, or Monaco as Seychelles' CoolBigSis.

* KansaiRegionalAccent: Although it usually doesn't show up in scanlations.

* SempaiKohai: Implied to be the nature of her relationship with Seychelles, as Monaco refers to Seychelles with the suffix "-kun", something often used by seniors referring to their kohai. Fandom often portrays them in this sort of relationship, or Monaco as Seychelles' CoolBigSis.

* AnAxeToGrind: A Himaruya sketch once portrayed him with a halberd.

* DotingParent: Dangerously combined with his paedophilia tendencies. Too bad Romano slaps him in the face every time Spain tries to be nice.

* LargeHam: He was pretty loud in the original, and then the English dub [[UpToEleven took that and ran away with it.]] Creator/IanSinclair's helped him become something of a FountainOfMemes.

* FiveManBand: Often in fanworks.
** TheHero: Spain, being the "boss" and more optimistic of the group.
** TheLancer: Romano plays this most often as the PerpetualFrowner to Spain's PerpetualSmiler, but Netherlands sometimes claims this role as well.
** TheBigGuy: Either [[OneHeadTaller Netherlands]] or [[BigFun Cuba]].
** TheSmartGuy: While not featured along with the rest as prominently in fan works, [[HotLibrarian Monaco]] certainly fits this role, although Luxembourg is hinted to be this.
** TheChick: Belgium, of the CoolBigSis or TeamMom variety.

* {{Meganekko}}: The first female nation with them that's not a GenderFlip, showing off her classiness and intellect.

* [[EverythingsBetterWithCows Everything Is Better with BULLS]]: The best way to start a BigDamnHeroes? [[DynamicEntry Go have a bull knocking down the carriage]] where your adopted kid is being held and then go face his kidnapper.

* IllBoy: When his economy goes ''really'' rotten, he gets very sick. Romano then goes to search for a cure...

* ArtShift: Comparing her early sketches to her more recent appearances, she looks a lot younger now with a much sleeker braid.
* BeautyMark: She has one on her chest, as revealed in the Manga/HetaliaBloodbath2010. [[spoiler: Sadly, it's not the one that's going to stop TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.]]

* BeautyMark: Has one below his right eye.

* WholesomeCrossdresser: Often dressed in maid dresses as a child. Though he did wear trousers underneath, unlike North Italy. Also [[FanNickname Grandmano]] from ''Hetaween 2011''.

* NotSoDifferent: Spain and Portugal. They've experienced many of the same hardships through life, and both are former empires long since having fallen since their GloryDays. Both deny having any similarities vehemently.

* NotSoDifferent: Played with in the ''Manga/HetaliaHetaween2013'' event, with Iceland. At first they find common ground complaining about their "thickheaded" and "meddlesome" guardians, but while Iceland admits ultimately that he doesn't mind it so much, Romano snaps back that he doesn't like it at all.

-->''Watching your bravado from behind, I can't help but feel sorry for you...and it's only getting worse lately...''

** TheSmartGuy: While not featured along with the rest as prominently in fanworks, [[HotLibrarian Monaco]] certainly fits this role. Although Luxembourg is hinted to be this.

* [[EvilTwin Evil Older Brother]]: Not so extreme, but he's definately the meaner of the two.

* IdiotHair: Like his brother's, it acts as his erogenous zone.
** FantasticArousal
* JamesBondage: When Turkey kidnaps him.
* JerkAss: He's extremely foul-tempered and bossy.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Quite heavier on the Jerk part, with his HairTriggerTemper, but he does care about his brother despite regularly belittling him.

[[hardline]]

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Remember when she was a PerpetualFrowner?

* HotLibrarian: {{Fanon}} loves to peg her as this, and her profile describes her as she "a smart girl who gives off a proud impression"

* TheGambler: According to her profile, while she didn't build the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monaco#Gambling_Industry famous casinos]], she still loves them to the point she's even drawn with cards around her!
** Sorta brought up again when Seborga asks her out on Manga/HetaliaBloodbath2011. [[http://i42.tinypic.com/1zbgnjl.jpg She accepts, but then she tells him to beat her at poker first!]] [[spoiler: He loses, but she goes out with him anyway.]]
* TheHyena: Laughs near-constantly in the 2011 Halloween and Christmas events.
* TheOjou: Has the looks, seems to be one.
* [[TheSmartGuy The Smart Girl]]: It is said her intelligence is what has benefited her throughout history.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The girly girl to Seychelles's tomboy in ''Manga/Hetaween2011''.
** SempaiKohai: Implied to be the nature of their relationship, as Monaco refers to Seychelles with the suffix "-kun", something often used by seniors referring to their kohai. Fandom often portrays them in this sort of relationship, or Monaco as Seychelles' CoolBigSis.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Appearing before Spain and Romano, saying 'Boa noite'[[note]]'Good evening' or 'Good night'[[/note]] and saying he knows a lot of foolish stories involving Spain, which makes Spain feel uncomfortable.
** {{Blackmail}}: The "foolish stories" he knows comes off as this. Romano complains that Spain becomes much meeker around Portugal.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: England and Portugal have a deep bond, as per WordOfGod. They ''do'' [[TruthInTelevision have the oldest living alliance with the Windsor Treaty]].

* AnAxeToGrind: Fanarts have him using a fricking ''big'' one as his WeaponOfChoice.
** Confirmed by WordOfGod: [[http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/5653/200908151155598a0.jpg this Himaruya sketch]] has him with a halberd.

* DashingHispanic: Downplayed. It is heavily implied he has traces of this, especially during his imperial days, however, he is a more optimistic and easygoing person. He is occasionally written this way in fanworks.

** Fandom of course ran with this idea long before that dub came out.

* NiceGuy: Spain's major personality trait. Though thanks to Spain/Romano being a very popular ship, he isn't as overlooked in the fandom as you might expect.
** Sadly, the times when he shows a different side are taken as "undeniable proof" that Spain ''MUST'' be a {{yandere}} or CuteAndPsycho, despite being mostly PlayedForLaughs. See below.
* NotSoDifferent: With Netherlands, both of them like [[NoYay young kids]].
* {{Pirate}}: During his imperial days, where he's more often than not paired with England.

* TorosYFlamenco: Quite averted: he has only appeared in a ''matador'' costume in ''one'' official art, not in the strips, and doesn't seem to be a LatinLover. The fanartists, on the other hand...
* {{Yandere}} / CuteAndPsycho: An increasingly popular [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation rendition of his character]] in {{fanon}}, considering how conflicted Spanish history is. It even has its own tag on Pixiv, the Japanese equivalent of Deviant Art.
** WordOfGod also says that he was two-faced like Russia and either very severe or cruel to his colonies that are not South Italy. To be fair, those notes are ''very old'' and were taken off Hidekaz's proper site, so we don't know how true they are ''right now''. Volume Five profile does mention that he has a "mysterious aura of light and darkness," which might be a reference to the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Legend White Legend and Black Legend]] respectively.
** This was mostly PlayedForLaughs with in the ''2011 Fool's Bath''. He gives a rather crazy look when France was about to spill who the true culprit of the event was, then he switched to his happy face and claimed that the letters he sent were meant to be a group hang out and not meant to be threatening.
