History Characters / HetaliaAxisPowersTheAllies

* [[DudeWheresMyRespect Aiya, Where's My Respect Aru?]]: A part of the drama track in China's character CD is about him trying to get the respect of Shinatty and his sister Taiwan and failing hilariously.
-->'''Taiwan:''' Shut up teacher!
-->'''China:''' T-Taiwan...!
-->'''Taiwan:''' Please, you need to keep quiet when you're in public areas like this! If you're too noisy, you'll scare away all the birds and make the flowers die...
-->'''Shinatty:''' Please forgive us; the old man's gone a bit crazy, he was having flashbacks about his childhood!
-->'''China:''' I'm not an old man! I'm young, cool, and hip!
-->'''Taiwan:''' "Cool and hip?" [[TotallyRadical That just dates you even more...]]
* AllChinesePeopleKnowKungFu: Actually {{justified}}. The characters in Hetalia are personifications of their countries' histories and cultures, and China ''does'' have a long tradition of martial arts.

* CuteKitten: Shinatty-chan!
* DudeLooksLikeALady / [[invoked]]ViewerGenderConfusion: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in his entry on the official character chart: "The only female member of the Allies. {{Not}}."

* ExtremeOmnivore: When everybody was discussing what they would do in an alien invasion, China remarked "Leave the cooking to me!"
** This is actually somewhat {{justified}}, as various Chinese cuisines tend to use fairly unorthodox ingredients that may not be used in other cultures (e.g. chicken feet being one of the ''tamer'' examples), and Cantonese (and to an extent, other southern Chinese) people are stereotyped to eat just about anything and everything.

* GratuitousForeignLanguage: More noticeable than the other Allies.

* CanadaEh: Oddly enough the English dub, which is infamous for giving almost every character a stereotypical accent, was the one to avert this for the most part. Played a little straighter in the Season 5 dub, wherein a few (stereotypically) Canadian pronunciations like "aboot" can be heard from him.

* NotSoAboveItAll: He rejects a naked France's invitation to "join him in feeling 'open' today" because he doesn't want to be associated with France's [[AnythingThatMoves reputation]]. [[http://i55.tinypic.com/2gyanfk.jpg France calls him out on it]], stating a number of sexual records held by British people. He's also [[DidTheyOrDidntThey masturbated with France on another occasion]]…

* AnythingThatMoves: He can find beauty in just about anyone, or anything.

* PandaingToTheAudience: He loves his pandas. To the point of having a birthmark of one on his butt.

* CrazyJealousGuy : Non-romantic version (that we know of). While kind-hearted, China can be ''very'' clingy towards his relatives and treat them like children. A good example is the "I like, wanna be free", where he's ''completely'' baffled as to why Hong Kong wants to have more freedom [[MeddlingParents after having censored his movies and meddled in his room]].

* LegFocus: Many have fallen to the beauty that is China's legs.

* [[MeddlingParents Meddling Big Brother]]: Acts this way toward Hong Kong at least, if not all of his siblings.

* ImprobableWeaponUser: China uses [[ChefOfIron a wok and ladle]] to beat up the Axis, while Russia's WeaponOfChoice is a [[PipePain lead-pipe faucet-crowbar thing]].

* [[ShesGotLegs He's Got Legs]]: Many have fallen to the beauty that is China's legs.

* BelligerentSexualTension: With France. Of course, given his [[MeanBrit personality]], this may be the only kind of sexual tension England is capable of. Even poked fun at by the voice actors, with England's English voice actor claiming his "Don't, stop!" is more like a "Don't stop!"

* UsefulNotes/HistoryOfNavalWarfare: He's seen defeating Spain's "invincible" Armada.

* MeanBrit: When he's in "tsun" mode.

* UsefulNotes/WithEuropeButNotOfIt: Like the philosophy of the actual country, England prefers to be distant and work alone from the mainland Europe.

* CryCute: During the [[spoiler:"Cleaning Up The Storage"]] story.

* CryCute: Pretty much every time he cries.

** England muses once that America's tendency toward [[UpToEleven big and extravagant]] may stem from when he was [[TheGreatDepression still hungry]].

* CovertPervert: In the first chapter of the (published) manga, "Meeting of the World" he's reading porn during the meeting. France cites several sexual records held by British people. And then there's his [[FanserviceWithASmile "battle uniform"]]. {{Fandom}} often depicts him as secretly being [[UpToEleven kinkier than France]]. France even asserts that this is the case, telling him that he's giving his title of the "Erotic Ambassador" to him.
