** He has a tendency to mistake Saudi Arabia for a ninja, on account of her burqa, and Somalia for a... oh wait, [[http://satwcomic.com/clothes-confusion-2 he actually is a pirate]].

!!Sister Denmark
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/SatW_Sister_Denmark_4125.PNG]]
->''"I found your porn collection!"''

* {{Bifauxnen}}: Was mistaken for a cute long-haired guy by France.
* ButchLesbian: Not so much "butch" as "extremely tomboyish" and not quite exactly lesbian but still mostly into girls.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Like her brother.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: She once [[https://satwcomic.com/wrong-answer-wrong-question fixed a truck while fighting a skinhead off with a broken bottle]]. We only know about this because Aland offhandedly mentioned it in an argument with Denmark.
* PimpDuds: Sister Denmark gets one such attire while singing [[http://satwcomic.com/my-wedding "My Wedding"]].
* ReallyGetsAround: [[http://satwcomic.com/my-wedding "My Wedding"]]. She really is Denmark's sister.
* SmokingIsCool: Again, like her brother.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The tomboy to Sister Iceland's GirlyGirl.

!!Sister Sweden
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/SatW_Sister_Sweden_3526.PNG]]
->''"[[SexSells Hello boys!]]"''
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: She likes Finland despite his being a knife nut.
* CoolBigSis: Though Sweden seems embarrassed by her.
* {{Dominatrix}}: And don't the fellas love it.
* DudeMagnet: The whole "Swedish bombshell" trope applies in full force.
* EthicalSlut: Happy to lend out her strap-on to a sister in need.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Draws the line at [[https://satwcomic.com/long-cold-nights sleeping with her own brother]].
-->'''Sweden:''' Oh, no. I didn't...do anything with ''you'' last night, right?\\
'''Sister Sweden:''' EW! No! Of course not, you perv!
* EveryoneLovesBlondes: She has blonde hair, and she's known for being very sexy.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Not as much as Sister Denmark though.
* ReallyGetsAround: She's mostly an item with Finland, but she's not exclusive by any means. Sweden is especially disgusted to find that Denmark is the father of her son, Scania.
* SexyScandinavian: She is possibly the TropeCodifier.
* SiblingYinYang: With Sweden. Her brother tries to be uptight and by the book, while she, on the other hand, [[ReallyGetsAround has looser morals]]. It's hinted that they're more alike than they seem on the surface, and just happen to emphasize different aspects of their shared personality.

!!Sister Norway
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/SatW_Sister_Norway_9756.PNG]]
->''"Wha...I don't...Why are you watching that?"''

* BerserkButton: Has apparently banned Sister Sweden from swimming in her pond, and thinks nothing of [[http://satwcomic.com/monster-in-the-lake enforcing it with her fist]].
* TheGenericGirl: Has the least characterization out of the female cast, and is mainly used as a StraightMan.
* HugeGirlTinyGuy: She's bigger than most of the male characters, when shown in non-chibi form.
* OneHitKill: Or One Hit K.O. anyway. She drops Sister Sweden with one punch.
* OnlySaneWoman]]: She has the [[StraightMan comedic foil]] role of her brother, without his {{Cloudcuckoolander}} moments.
* SkinshipGrope: [[http://satwcomic.com/proper-greeting With the Denmarks.]]

!!Sister Finland
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/SatW_Sister_Finland_5106.PNG]]

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Towards Sweden. Though it's less her looks, and more her knife nut tendencies (and her, well, [[IncompatibleOrientation sex]]) that make her abhorrent.
* BerserkButton: [[MySisterIsOffLimits She's destroyed several televisions and a number of tapes of Sister Sweden having sex with Finland]], which Sister Sweden insists on watching when she's around.
* BurnTheWitch: It doesn't seem to do much though.
* {{Dominatrix}}: Sister Finland tries, but she's not so good at the "sexy" part and she doesn't have slick matching gear.
* DotingParent: According to [[http://satwcomic.com/smalltalk this strip]], she spoils [=FennoSwede=] rotten.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Just look at her! Though ironically, as many commenters note, just about every Finnish woman is blonde, unlike Sister Finland.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: [[BrawnHilda Sister Finland]] is strong enough to knock out her brother, forceful, and prone to violence, as opposed to the much gentler, calmer, geeky [[InTouchWithHisFeminineSide Sweden]].
* MySisterIsOffLimits: Gender-inverted. She does ''not'' appreciate Sister Sweden putting on sex tapes with Brother Finland in them, and has destroyed several of said tapes to prove her point.
* PerpetualFrowner: She doesn't smile a lot, not even when crushing on Sweden. In the comic, she's only smiled [[http://satwcomic.com/sleepy-head once]], after helping throw Sister Denmark in the water for [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Sleepy_Head_Day Sleepy Head Day]].
* TheQuietOne: She speaks so little, her brother seems talkative by comparison. For years she had not spoken at all, until she was heard to say a single [[PrecisionFStrike "Perkele!"]] as a result of [[https://satwcomic.com/colourful-scandinavian-houses trying to assemble IKEA furniture.]]
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's as dour-looking as Finland and less talkative than even her brother. She also has a hug crush on Sweden that swings between cute and creepy. She was dere-dere enough to let Sister Iceland do a make over with her hair once.
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: She [[https://satwcomic.com/the-day-after walks in on Finland trying to stab Sweden for kissing him while they were drunk]]. The next panel shows her tenderly cradling Sweden, having knocked out Finland to protect her crush.

* LactctatingMale: Starts producing milk after eating a beschuit offered by Netherlands.

* GirlswithMoustaches: She sports the same one as her brother.

* Girls with Moustaches: She sports the same one as her brother.

* Lactctating Male: Starts producing milk after eating a beschuit offered by Netherlands.

* CatchPhrase: "[[ForeignCussword Perkele]]..." For the most part, this is the only actual word he speaks. The rest of his "dialogue" is limited to "*evil snigger*", "*grunt*", and once [[https://satwcomic.com/sick-finland "*weak protest*"]].

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Uuuuuuuuuuuh!"

* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: His [[CarpetOfVirility]] wasn't shown in its debut.

!!Sister America
[[quoteright:170:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/SatW_Sister_America_4805.PNG]]
->''"Don't you guys care about animal welfare at all?"''

* BerserkButton: When America is mean to gays (whom she believes to be penguins). Also, shipping Denmark with anyone ''but'' Norway (and sometimes Sweden).
* CanadaEh: Her lapdog, Ottawa.
* CanineCompanion: She has a chihuahua named Ottawa, whom she's almost never seen without.
* DumbBlonde: She has blonde hair, and she's something of a ditz.
* {{Eagleland}}: Started out 100% type two, recently has become a mixed flavor.
* {{Expy}}: She is basically Paris Hilton with breast implants and StrawmanPolitical overtones.
* {{Flanderization}}: Sister America started out as a RichBitch parody of shallow valley girls who are obsessed with plastic surgery, then she became a girl obsessed with sounding liberal without knowing anything about liberalism to balance out her brother's conservatism. Then she met Sister Japan and now she's mainly just a YaoiFanGirl. She seems to have backpedaled from this characterization in later comics, though.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's generally kind and well-meaning, and she cares about a lot of causes.
* HeadPet: Her chihuahua.
* OddFriendship: With Sister Japan. Due to their Yaoi Shippings.
* ShipperOnDeck: Ships Denmark×Norway, and nobody else (so far...). Though "sometimes [she] throw[s] [[OT3 Sweden]] into [[http://satwcomic.com/kindred-spirits the mix]].
* SoapBoxSadie: Represents the American Left, and cares about a lot of causes.
* StrawmanPolitical: Liberal to her brother's Conservative.
* ValleyGirl: Spray tan, fake boobs, shallow, overuses the word "like", frequently says "OMG!"? Yup.
* YaoiFangirl: Though she thinks the term "yaoi" sounds stupid....

!!UN

* GenkiGirl: [[http://satwcomic.com/so-long-suckers Sister Faroes]] looks to be this.

* PlatonicLifePartners: [[https://satwcomic.com/may-i-offer-you-some-jesus She and grandpa Nordic (or Viking) seems to get along well]], with Viking asking her if England is bothering her at a bar.
* TheResenter: [[https://satwcomic.com/a-big-f-you Bonds with Greenland]] over their similar mistreatment by the other Nordic nations.

!!The Vatican

* Despite rejecting Denmark's advances, Norway doesn't seem to mind them, but [[http://satwcomic.com/home-sweet-home shoots down any question of moving back in]]. [[http://satwcomic.com/burning-hot When Denmark outright confesses his love for Norway, Norway is caught off-guard]].
* [[http://satwcomic.com/wish-you-were-here At one point Denmark accidentally wrote Sweden’s love letter for Norway. Norway is shocked, to say the least.]]

* AccidentalPervert: Played for laughs when England thinks he's one in [[http://satwcomic.com/monster this comic]], where he accidentally touches a single hair on Sister Denmark's head [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone and freaks out over it]], acting like he's crossed the MoralEventHorizon. Sister Denmark doesn't even notice.[[note]]British people tend to be uncomfortable with touching someone they don't know well.[[/note]]

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Despite rejecting Denmark's advances, Norway doesn't seem to mind them, but [[http://satwcomic.com/home-sweet-home shoots down any question of moving back in]]. [[http://satwcomic.com/burning-hot When Denmark outright confesses his love for Norway, Norway is caught off-guard]].
** [[http://satwcomic.com/wish-you-were-here At one point Denmark accidentally wrote Sweden’s love letter for Norway. Norway is shocked, to say the least.]]

* TheAlcoholic: Almost always seen with a beer bottle in his hand, and usually shows evidence of having already drunk several by the time a given comic begins.
** Despite supposedly being a comedy, [[http://satwcomic.com/funny-movie the film "Funny Friends"]] [[PlayedForDrama plays this for drama]].

* InnocentBigot: In ''[[http://satwcomic.com/monkey-man Monkey Man]]'', Denmark mistakes South Africa for a monkey. This does not end well.[[note]]This stems from the stereotype that all Danes are racist without realizing it.[[/note]]

** He also has a tendency to mistake Saudi Arabia for a ninja, on account of her burqa, and Somalia for a... oh wait, [[http://satwcomic.com/clothes-confusion-2 he actually is a pirate]].

* VitriolicBestBuds: With Sweden. They couldn't have fought so much and still hang out otherwise.
** Made even more clear in ''[[http://satwcomic.com/favorite-friends Favorite Friends]]''.

* VitriolicBestBuds: With Denmark. They couldn't have fought so much and still hang out otherwise.

** "[[http://satwcomic.com/child-of-the-night OMG]]! [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Team Jacob]]!"

* SeriousBusiness: Two examples so far:
** Food. He ordered Åland to move back in with Finland over the former's strenuous protests so that the latter would have a decent cook around the house. He's also [[http://satwcomic.com/picky-denmark quite peeved that Denmark doesn't like his food]].

* SiblingYinYang: She is nothing like her brother; she is fearsome and violent whereas Germany is apologetic and wimpy.
** She does share her brother's peach-fuzz mustache, though.

* WellDoneSonGuy: [[http://satwcomic.com/parenting Since Great Britain was too busy]] doing other things to be America's father, [[UsefulNotes/TheAmericanRevolution guess what happened next]].

* DisappearedDad: Subverted--Denmark is his father, though neither of them knows it. (When Sweden finds out, he tells Scania his father was killed in a car accident so that the boy wouldn't look up to the irresponsible Denmark as a role model.)

!!Hans Island

* PreciousPuppy: Subverted in the case that Canada and Denmark are warring over him by [[ItMakesSenseInContext waving their flags]].

* NorseByNorsewest: Mainly averted. The comic shows the countries' stereotypes of ''each other'' rather than the Hollywood stereotypes of them, and goes out of the way to show that each country has their own distinct cultures.

* {{Yandere}}: Averted. When he finds out that [[https://satwcomic.com/three-years Sweden's already married]], he just responds with "you can be quite the crappy boyfriend sometimes".
** He also doesn't seem to be anything other than shocked at the christening of Sweden's son with Sister Finland, despite the obvious infidelity (even if Sweden were [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale coerced]] into it...).

* {{Scotireland}}: Thankfully averted. Scotland and Ireland appear very different.

* GermanicDepressives: Incarnate, and mostly due to his guilt over his past Naziism. Averted, however (once!) in [[http://satwcomic.com/football-feelings this comic]], following Germany's spectacular World Cup victory.

* {{Beatnik}}: Her look.

* CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys: Averted. When she and England inevitably had a little squabble in Humon's books, it was she who slapped first. She can also be seen running into battle, screaming [[BattleCry "Vive la France!"]] Oh, ''and'' she has the third largest number of operational nuclear bombs in the world, only behind America and Russia.

* EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench: Would only speak in French in one of Humon's books.

* ShyBladder: Averted. He was urinating in public while talking to Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.

* JapanTakesOverTheWorld: This trope is mostly averted in the comic, the only hint that Japan might be thinking about dominating other nations or even taking over the world is a single line in [[https://satwcomic.com/poke-go-where-nobody-has-gone-before the strip about Pokémon GO]].
