[[folder:Finlandball/Finland]]

->''"Russia! Yuo hurt me so many time! Finland never be hurt again, of swear on grave of Simo Häyhä!"''

* TheAlcoholic: A consummate vodka drinker.
* DualWielding: A knife in one hand and a broken bottle in the other.
* FriendlySniper / ColdSniper: As the homeland of the RealLife TropeCodifier for both, [[UsefulNotes/SimoHayha Simo Häyhä]], Finland gives even Russia nightmares.
* GrumpyBear: In contrast with the rest of the carefree Nordics.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Is shown to [[MoralityPet care deeply for Estonia]].
* KnifeNut: Especially when combined with his alcoholism. Russia tends to be on the receiving end of his knife.
* NietzscheWannabe: Can be extremely nihilistic and depressive, partly from long winters, partly from a long history of being sandwiched between Russia and Sweden. In lighter-hearted comics, it might instead be attributed to his country's fancied resemblance to a ballsack.
* NoSocialSkills: His greatest fear? Having to sit next to a stranger on public transportation.
* NotSoDifferent: While his general attitude toward Sweden is beleaguered resentment, he has a prominent Swedish-speaking minority.
* PerpetualFrowner: He is rarely seen smiling.
* PyrrhicVictory: On both sides between him and the USSR during the Winter War. For all intents and purposes, Finland LOST and ceded land to USSR ball's clay. However, he managed to avoid annexation and is remembered as a badass during this conflict while the USSR is (technically incorrectly given the outcome) remembered as GeneralFailure.
* SirSwearsALot: [[ForeignCussWord Perkele]], or a contraction thereof.
* VodkaDrunkenski: Despite not actually being Russian.
