Arch-Enemy / Sitcom Archnemesis: Greece and Turkey are this to each other. Especially noticeable in Greece's case, as Turkey is the onlything that can rile up the normally laidback nation.
Good Old Fisticuffs: Greece and Turkey have a fistfight in almost every Christmas strip.
Idiot Hair: Greece and Turkey both have the same kind of ahoge that splits in two curled parts, although Turkey's is harder to spot as his is located on the back of his neck, unlike with Greece's which is located on the top of his head. TRNC has one in an unfinished sketch, too.
Curiously, in his first apparition Cyprus actualy lacks said Idiot Hair.
Power Trio: Fanon sometimes portrays Greece, Turkey and Egypt this way, with Turkey as the Id, Greece as the Superego (or at least the marginally less temperamental Id), and Egypt as the Ego (and Only Sane Man).
In one strip, Turkey is giving Greece a Turkish Bath to "bully" him and while Greece is loudly voicing how much he dislikes it when in reality, as he later admits, he actually enjoys himself and has a nice time.
Chivalrous Pervert: He's #1 in the frequency of sex in the world, surpassing even France, and everyone else knows it, and he has no problems with nudity like France... and yet he's one of the nicest characters in the series and the other characters don't seem afraid of being randomly undressed or molested while interacting with him, unlike with France. Additionally, it's made clear that he definitely wouldn't object to having sex with his close friend Japan (and may haved managed to get him into bed at least once) but also that he values their friendship enough, or is mindful enough of Japan's intimacy issues, to not press him too hard on this, and genuinely likes him as a person.
Crazy Jealous Guy: Pick a fanwork, any fanwork that has Turkey flirting with Japan within Greece's line of sight, causing him to go from sleepy-eyed to green-eyed (if not outright death-glaring) in 0.3 seconds flat. It's usually only when Turkey is around, though.
Erudite Stoner: Other than the drug-using part, he fits this trope to a T. So well, in fact, that it's somewhat surprising that there haven't been that many fanworks that make him a full-blown one - maybe because fanon has already pegged Canada and Netherlands as the main Stoners.
Heavy Sleeper / Sleepyhead: In the world conference shown in the first manga chapter and anime episode, he sleeps right through all the other countries' loud fighting. He also tends to doze off in the middle of conversations and fall asleep on the spot without warning.
Ho Yay: After Japan finds out that Greece is n°1 in the frequency of having sex while Japan is dead last, he gets a private lesson from him... There's also the Umbrella of Togetherness strip where Greece doesn't want Japan to see him with Messy Hair in the rain and gets upset when Japan tries to assure him that his hair doesn't look any different than usual (i.e. his hair looks messy all the time to him) until he begins wondering if this is actually "humiliation play"... And then, after posing in an Ancient Greek chiton, Greece either casually flashes Japan by lifting up the lower part of his chiton or holds up another chiton for Japan to wear himself. And he's wearing cat earslike the ones Japan gave him in an earlier strip.
Momma's Boy: It's safe to assume that he's this from how he takes care of his mother's ruins and likes to talk about her mythology and culture. Atypically for this trope, this trait of his is usually portrayed positively in both canon and fanworks.
Not to mention, said Missing Mom is Ancient Greece. It'd be stranger if Greece didn't at very least miss his mother.
Naked People Are Funny: The only one aside from France who will casually walk around buttnaked. Or casually suggest a naked check-up to another person.
Perpetual Poverty: He suffers from trade deficit and can't play online games with the others due to costly internet.
Ladykiller In Love: However, this is rarely brought up in shipping fanworks, as the general assumption in fandom is that he's still a Nice Guy at heart who would willingly stop sleeping around to be in a committed relationship with the one he loves. Most common with Japan, to the point where references to him having waited for over a hundred years for Japan to return his feelings are not uncommon; with Turkey, it tends to be more of an 'on-again, off-again' thing, but there's still usually the implication that he reserves the sex for Turkey only.
Spell My Name with an S: So is it 'Karpusi' or 'Karpossi' or 'Kiparsi' or what? Also, is it 'Heracles' or 'Herakles'?
Seeing as his last name is based on the Greek word for "watermelon", which is "καρπούζι", this Greek troper thinks that it should be Karpouzi and the author just Did Not Do the Research.
Actually "Karpouzis", since he's male.
Super Strength: Implied. One picture shows him wrestling down Germany seemly without trouble, in a strip he knocks out and carries around France's body like it's nothing, and in Gakuen Hetalia he manages to move around several life-size stone statues and not even pant afterwards. It certainly would fit his human namesake.
Unkempt Beauty: Japan gets confused when Greece tells him that he doesn't want Japan to see him with Messy Hair in the rain, as he thinks that Greece's hair looks messy all the time and doesn't see a problem with it. (It certainly doesn't stop fanworks from depicting him as extremely attractive, anyway — and who can blame them with official artlike these?)
Vocal Evolution: In episodes 54 and 55, his voice is considerably slower-paced than his first speaking appearance in Episode 35.
Crazy Jealous Guy: Is often portrayed as this to Greece or Japan in fanworks. The latter case might be canon, considering how he becomes incensed upon seeing Japan with Greece in one manga chapter and jumps to the assumption that Greece is "trying to invade Japan", even claiming that "Ya don't know how well Japan and I get along!" He even threatens to invade France if he tries to harass Japan his usual way.
Hopeless Suitor: He's implied to have a crush on Japan, and it turns out that his rival is none other than Greece. Who's shown a lot more with Japan than him in the strips. And may have slept together with Japan at least once. And while fandom does give Turkey some action with Greece, the number of fics in which he's even considered as a viable romantic possibility for Japan, much less paired up with him, can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
Lets Everyone Join but You: Feeling left out, Turkey asks the European Union to join in. After decades of waiting expectedly for acceptance, he finds out that the EU lets any nation join within seconds while he's being ignored.
Inter Generational Friendship: Sorta, with Iceland in the Hetalia Bloodbath 2010. It helps that Iceland is already a teenager, not a child.
May-December Romance: Some fans are pairing them up. Especially after Iceland dreamed of Turkey as a half-naked Santa...
Laughing Mad: After realizing that the European Union is not that much into him.
Love Hurts: In the beta version for the drama CD, he's revealed to have been in love with AncientGreece/Byzantium. Who he eventually killed. (It's not necessarily canon as it wasn't included in the final version of the drama CD, but it sure would explain an awful lot about his relations with her son.) And when you take in account the aforementioned Hopeless Suitor case with Japan and Greece and the only popular fanon pairing he gets being all about him and his Arch-Enemy belting out the tune of The Masochism Tango at the top of their lungs, you have one wholly unenviable love life on your hands.
Must Have Caffeine: In the dub he isn't going to invade Europe just yet because he wants to go home to get some real coffee. He thinks European coffee is "for the baby".
Over-the-Shoulder Carry: He does that when he 'kidnaps' Greece after forcing him into an Aladdin costume, to carry him to the Halloween party.
Take Over the World: As the Ottoman Empire, he continuously tries to take over Europe- fighting little Hungary, the Habsburgs, abducting little Greece, etc. in the process.
The Bear / Fan Yay / Bara: Turkey is quite adored by the gay male viewers, or gay/bisexual males shocked to see that Hetalia isn't entirely made up of Bishounen.
The Nicknamer: In the dub, he almost always calls Japan "Jappy" and has several insulting nicknames for Greece. He also called Spain several versions of "short" in his Ottoman days.
White Mask of Doom: Sometimes wears one that covers up his whole face, most of the time one that hides his eyes. When fighting it may come with a black veil.
And he almost always wears it. That picture up top is a rare one where he doesn't.
Worthy Opponent: He actually considers Chibitalia, who kicked his ass one time, this, and shows no embarrassment over his loss in modern times.
Egypt - Gupta Muhammad Hassan
...
Voiced by: Scott Sager (EN)
But Not Too Black: While he has olive skin in the illustrations, the anime makes him much paler. It's true that some Egyptian people are quite pale compared to other African ethnicities, but still.
This is due to the rather pertinent fact that Egyptians are not a uniformly dark-skinned people (as seen here◊), so him being not too black is entirely justified.
Cute Mute: Egypt is not much of a talker. Though, at one point, France asked him if he could even talk, to which Egypt responded, "Would you like to buy something?"
Cloud Cuckoolander: Possible characterization since he randomly decides to smack Italy after France and England do, and the only photo of him in his military clothes has him posing for the shot.
Badass Pacifist: In the Drama CD he is a veryNice Guy, but when Turkey and Greece push his limits he blows up at them and gives them a good talking-to about their people living in peace. In his comic cameo he demands from Greece to try getting along with Turkey.
Strong Family Resemblance: Toyed with. He looks like a younger and slimmer Greece, but lacks the Idiot Hair that both Greece and Turkey have.
Sibling Yin-Yang: As mentioned above, he's more emotional and expressive than his baby brother TRNC.
What Do You Mean, It's Not Symbolic?: His asymmetrical hair make it look like it's been cut in half, his one side making his head look like Greece's and the other more like Turkey's.
Nightmare Fetishist: According to the Hetalia Bloodbath 2011. He scares the everloving shit of his old friend Bulgaria while telling him about Vlad the Impaler with a big cheerful smile.
Our Vampires Are Different: Some people suspect he may be a vampire, since he has red eyes and is the home of Dracula. We have yet to see whether or not this is true, although the Cute Little Fang he sports might be hinting at that...
The Faceless: Mentioned in Hungary's relationship chart and possibly appeared as a cloaked figure called Wallachia, but was only recently given a real appearance.
Spell My Name with an S: Is it Romania or Rumania? English sources seemed to use both nonchalantly...
The Rival: He has a rivalry with Hungary, which makes historical sense.
Trickster: Described as mischievous by the author himself.
Uncanny Neighbor Resemblance: Possibly a result of Only Six Faces, but he could pass for Male!Hungary◊ if his hair was up. Could also be a bit of Fridge Brilliance considering how Transylvania (from which he is heavily inspired) has shifted control between Romania and Hungary, and Hungarians are the largest minority in the country.
Meido: If the maid costumed female character appearing in the "Today it's Russia, tomorrow it's Russia" stip is indeed Moldova. She has family resemblance to Romania and could well his younger sister, which would make cultural and historical sense.
Perpetual Poverty: in this nation's only appearance to date in the strip In Just Two Minutes, You Can Grasp The Exterior Of The European Economy, he is said to have an economy 1/30th the size of Greece.
