5This series follows the adventures of the [[FanNickname Bad Touch Trio]] (France, Spain, and a [[GenderFlip female]] Prussia) from preschool through their senior year of high school. It also features other Hetalia characters: Germany, North and South Italy (both female), Rome, Germania, Britain, female America, female Canada, and others.
6----
7!!''The Pleasantville Series'' provides example of the following tropes:
8%%* AbsentMindedProfessor: Feliciana and Lovina's grandfather. He's the principal of the high school, but that doesn't make him any more responsible and less Feli-like than he is in ''Hetalia''...
9* AbusiveParents: Lovina and Feliciana's mother would regularly neglect Lovina, letting her do whatever she wanted even though she was only four years old. She didn't even care when [[spoiler:Lovina broke her leg]], and said that it was her own fault. The girls' father is more clueless than anything else; he seems to love and care for both girls, but can't do anything about his wife.
10* AccentAdaptation: Even on the series' Formspring account (now a Tumblr account), each character types the way they would speak (for example, Francis sprinkles his answers with French, and Feliks uses Valley Girl typing.)
11%%* AccidentalKiss
12* AccidentalPervert: There are apparently pictures of Ludwig and Feli in a "compromising position". These are used for blackmail purposes by Gill.
13* ActionGirl: Arguably both Ally and Gill are this, because they both play a lot of sports and are very active.
14* ACupAngst: Lovina has this, apparently. She is never stated as actually being small-chested, just that her bra size is smaller than her sister's.
15* AerithAndBob: Justified in that this is a fanfic and she can only use the characters' real names, but ... in how many schools can there be a Sadiq, a Lovina, and a Feliciana alongside an Arthur, a Francis, and an Ally?
16* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Or rather, no one realizes that their crush is also in love with them...
17* AllThereInTheManual: All of the characters' ages and sexualities can be found on the author's Website/LiveJournal.
18%%* AloofBigBrother: Arthur's stepbrothers, except for Maxen.
19%%* AnachronicOrder: ''Compiling''
20%%* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Ludwig and Feliciana are this to Gill and Lovina, respectively.
21%%* ArmouredClosetGay: Possibly Mattie. Her own twin sister didn't even know until about halfway through ''Just a Little Push''.
22* AscendedExtra: Kiku and Yong Soo are both this - they have both narrated a chapter in ''Just a Little Push''.
23%%* AsianAndNerdy: Kiku appears to be this, in his few appearances.
24* AttractiveBentGender: Mattie, Ally, Gill, Feli, and Lovina are all male characters in ''Hetalia: Axis Powers''.
25* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: This is most obvious in the pairing of Antonio and Lovina, particularly when Lovina [[spoiler:accepts Antonio's proposal, blushing cutely all the while]].
26* BadassAdorable: Antonio, at the age of six, [[spoiler:destroys an entire treehouse all by himself with an ax]] because someone made fun of "his" Lovi.
27%%* BeautifulAllAlong: Played with, with [[spoiler: Ally]] in ''Just a Little Push''.
28%%* BelligerentSexualTension: Between Ally and Arthur.
29* BeneathTheMask: Lovina's reaction to Antonio - she really does love him, but she refuses to show it. [[spoiler:She also tries to pretend the other girls' bullying doesn't bother her, but it obviously does.]]
30* BerserkButton: Making fun of Feliciana in front of just about anyone, especially Lovina and Ludwig. Making fun of Lovina anywhere near Antonio or anyone who might tell Antonio. Bringing up Francis's parents in front of him.
31* BewareTheNiceOnes: See BadassAdorable. Leon is, too, as of Chapter 43 of "Round and Round".
32* BigBrotherInstinct: Pretty much all the characters feel this (in varying degrees) towards Feliciana.
33* BigBrotherMentor: Francis believes he is this towards Arthur when he [[spoiler:teaches Arthur about sex by having it with him]].
34%%* BigLittleBrother: Ludwig to Gillian.
35* BigEater: Feli when it comes to pasta, Lovina and Antonio when it comes to tomatoes, and Ally when it comes to ... most things, but especially burgers.
36%%* BigFancyHouse: Francis lives in one of these.
37%%* BigOlEyebrows: Arthur
38* BilingualBonus: Antonio breaks into Spanish sometimes. Feli and Lovi speak Italian sometimes. The biggest offender is Francis, who frequently breaks out into French.
39* BitchInSheepsClothing: The girls who [[spoiler:teased Lovina when Antonio wouldn't talk to her]] in ''Round and Round''.
40%%* BoisterousBruiser: See BadassAdorable.
41* BookDumb: Feli is not completely dumb, but she seems to not be as smart as the others. Could be possibly because she is younger than they are.
42* BrainlessBeauty: Feliciana is very, very cute, but very, very stupid at the same time.
43%%* BrattyHalfPint: Lovina was this.
44* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Some people consider Lovina this now, in the later series.
45* BreakTheCutie: Chapters 3-6 of ''Compiling'' reveal that [[spoiler:Francis was raped as a child by a caretaker who he trusted]]
46%%* BrilliantButLazy: Arthur was this in ''Round and Round''.
47%%* BrokenBird: Lovina, Gill, and [[spoiler:later Antonio]] in ''Round and Round''.
48%%* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Ludwig and Feli.
49* ButNotTooForeign: All the kids (except for Antonio, Ally, and Mattie) appear to have been born in the same town. Antonio moved there when he was about four. Ally and Mattie were born elsewhere in the United States. Sort of subverted in that pretty much each set of siblings is a different nationality.
50%%* ButtMonkey: Leon, Arthur, and Ludwig all have moments when they are this. Particularly Leon, as he often [[GenreSavvy points out]].
51%%* CampGay: Feliks in ''Just a Little Push''.
52* CatholicSchoolgirlsRule: While it doesn't appear to be a Catholic school, everyone is required to wear a uniform, and the chances are fairly high that at least one of them wears their skirt shorter than they are supposed to.
53%%* CheerfulChild: Gill, Antonio, Francis, Ally, and Feliciana were all this when they were little.
54* ChildProdigy: Gill was able to draw an extremely accurate bird on the wall when she was in kindergarten.
55* ChildrenAreInnocent
56** Sharply averted with [[spoiler:Francis' childhood. He was raped by a family servant, and this appears to be the reason he is the way he is now.]]
57** Played straight with Antonio, who didn't understand what was going on.
58* ChivalrousPervert: Arthur and, on occasion, Francis. Francis will do pretty much anything that moves (in one of the one-shots, he flirts with a boy on one side and a girl on the other), but he was still one of the first to help when [[spoiler: Lovina was pushed into the lake]].
59%%* ClassTrip: In ''Just a Little Push''.
60* ClingyJealousGirl: Lovina wouldn't even let Gill ''talk'' to Antonio when they were little kids.
61* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Feliciana is this. To the extreme, to the point where she should be TooDumbToLive. Black.Rose.Authoress has even [[WordOfGod mentioned]] that she has a hard time writing from Feliciana's point-of-view.
62%%* CluelessChickMagnet: Antonio.
63%%* CoolBigSis: Gill tries to be this for Feliciana and Lovina, but only Feliciana appreciates it.
64%%* CoolOldLady: Big Mike.
65%%* CorruptTheCutie: See BigBrotherMentor.
66%%* CorruptionByAMinor: See BigBrotherMentor.
67%%* CorruptionOfAMinor: See ChildrenAreInnocent or BreakTheCutie.
68%%* CuteBookworm: Mattie, according to Gill when they first met in ''First Impressions''.
69%%* CuteBruiser: See BadassAdorable.
70%%* CuteClumsyGirl: Feli.
71* CuteMute: Lovina is this for a short period in ''Tomatita'' after [[spoiler:breaking her leg in the woods]].
72* DaddysGirl: Ally was this until [[spoiler:her father left to fight in the war and never came back]].
73* DatingWhatDaddyHates: This is the whole reason why Arthur [[spoiler:sleeps with]] Francis.
74* ADayInTheLimelight: Kiku and Yong Soo both have chapters told from their perspective in ''Just a Little Push''.
75%%* DepravedBisexual: Francis
76* DisneyDeath: It never is mentioned in any of the stories that Ally's father is dead, but it's assumed to be true anyway.
77%%* {{Ditz}}: Feliciana is this to the extreme.
78* DotingParent: Gill and Ludwig's parents, and Antonio's mother, are this. So is Lovina and Feliciana's grandfather.
79* DressCode: The kids apparently go to a private school, as they are mentioned to have had uniforms. According to ''Insane First Impressions'', they've had uniforms since kindergarten. There are even rules about acceptable shoewear.
80* EarlyBirdCameo: Ally, Mattie, and their parents appear in one of the omakes for ''Tomatita'', despite their not even moving into the same town as the others for a good 6+ years more.
81* EmbarrassingNickname: Lovina hates it when you call her "Lovi". Unless you are either Feli or Antonio, you will be hurt if you try to call her this.
82* EmotionlessGirl: Natalia has no emotion, except for occasionally showing affection for her brother, Ivan.
83%%* EthicalSlut: Francis.
84%%* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Francis and Arthur.
85%%* EvilMatriarch: Feli and Lovi's mother.
86%%* EvilMentor: See BigBrotherMentor.
87%%* {{Expy}}: [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 Leon.]]
88%%* FairCop: Leon, at least according to [[HoYay Francis]].
89%%* FirstGirlWins: Antonio and Lovina.
90* ForeignCussWord: Antonio's mother of all people uses one in one of the stories after [[spoiler: Antonio's father calls]].
91%%* FreeRangeChildren: In ''Tomatita''.
92* FrenchJerk: Francis actually manages to mostly avert this. Appears to be played straight with his parents, though, who can't even be bothered to remember how old their only son even ''is'' (for example, buying him a car for his 15th birthday).
93%%* FreudianExcuse: Francis has an excuse for his sexual behavior. See BreakTheCutie for more.
94%%* FriendToAllChildren: Big Mike. And apparently Leon as well. Must run in the family...
95%%* FriendsWithBenefits: [[spoiler:Arthur and Francis in ''Round and Round'']]
96* GenderFlip: Gill, Feliciana, Lovina, Ally, and Mattie are all gender-flipped versions of Gilbert, Feliciano, Lovino, Alfred, and Matthew.
97%%* GenkiGirl: Feli
98* GoodParents: Ludwig and Gill's parents. Feli and Lovi's grandfather. Antonio's mother.
99* GratuitousForeignLanguage: Several of the characters sneak in a few phrases of their native language for no apparent reason.
100%%* HandsomeLech: Francis.
101* HappilyMarried: Just about every married couple in this series. The only notable exception to this rule is Lovina and Feli's parents, who divorce sometime after "Tomatita."
102* HatedByAll: Lovina's mother. Her own family doesn't like her, including her grandparents (as revealed in ''Compiling''), her husband, or her own children. That's one of the reasons why [[spoiler: the girls live with their grandfather now]].
103%%* HenpeckedHusband: Lovina and Feli's father.
104* HighSchoolAU: Pretty much all the fics except ''Tomatita'' and ''Her Reputation Precedes Her'' have this.
105%%* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Francis
106* HopelessSuitor: Sadiq is this towards Lovina. Francis is this towards Leon. And Arthur. And really pretty much everyone.
107%%* HugeGirlTinyGuy: Ally and Arthur.
108%%* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Ludwig and Feli.
109* IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer: Lovina says this to Ludwig frequently, and [[PapaWolf Ludwig, Francis, and Antonio]] are all like this towards any of Gill's many possible boyfriends.
110* InnocentFanserviceGirl
111** Feliciana is this in canon. She frequently takes her clothes off, [[PleasePutSomeClothesOn to the embarrassment of Ludwig]]. She also sleeps in his bed. Frequently while naked.
112** Gill. In "Just a Little Push", she doesn't seem to realize that (a) her shirt's falling open and (b) those two jerks are staring at her chest. She also walks around the girl's locker room in just her bra and panties... Good thing for [[PapaWolf her brother and her two best friends]], willing to protect her innocence as much as possible.
113%%* InnocentInnuendo: "But I like sleeping with you, Ludwig."
114%%* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Francis toward Antonio.
115%%* {{Jerkass}}: The boys who [[spoiler: pushed Lovina into the lake]] during ''Just a Little Push''.
116%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Arthur can be this sometimes.
117* KickTheDog: Sadiq and his "friends" [[spoiler:leave a small child alone in the woods]] as a joke. Antonio [[BadassAdorable is less than amused.]]
118%%* KidsAreCruel: See KickTheDog.
119%%* KindheartedCatLover: Both Kiku and Heracles are this.
120%%* LonelyRichKid: Francis was this in ''The Rest Was History''.
121* LongHairIsFeminine: Francis is the only boy with long hair, and he is also the most feminine. Coincidence? Also, all of the girls (except for Gill in ''Tomatita'') are described as having ''long'' hair.
122%%* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Francis is this.
123* TheMafia: It's been hinted that Lovina and Feliciana's uncle is in the mafia.
124* MamaBear: Ludwig and Gill's mother was this in ''Tomatita'' [[spoiler:when Lovina's mother refused to take her to the hospital when she broke her leg]].
125* MySisterIsOffLimits: Ally is VERY overprotective of Mattea. Lovina and Ludwig are also this, regarding Feliciana and Gill, respectively.
126* NakedFirstImpression: The first time [[spoiler:Leon]] meets [[spoiler:Arthur and Francis]], they are [[spoiler:having sex]]...
127%%* NationalStereotypes: This is sort of the point of the series.
128%%* NeatFreak: Ludwig is this.
129* NoPeriodsPeriod: Not one of the many teenaged girls in this series has even mentioned as having one...
130%%* TheNotSoHarmlessPunishment: See KidsAreCruel.
131* ObligatorySwearing: Some chapters of ''Tomatita'' have Lovina swearing just as badly as she does in later fics. Keep in mind, she's supposed to be 4.
132%%* OddFriendship: Between Lovina and Ivan.
133* OnlyOneName: Johnson. Only made stranger when Leon goes to his family reunion and finds out [[spoiler:that all males in the Johnson family only use their last name]].
134* OriginalCharacter: There are many of these, particularly in ''Round and Round''.
135* PapaWolf:
136** Ludwig, Francis, and Antonio are all this regarding Gill, and towards Feliciana, too.
137** Antonio can also be one towards Lovina.
138** Leon's friend Chris is this towards Leon, being convinced that [[spoiler:Leon's roommate and later boyfriend, Francis]] is an incubus.
139* ParentalFavoritism: When Feliciana and Lovina lived with their parents, it was obvious that Feliciana was favored over Lovina.
140* ParentalNeglect: While Feliciana was [[ParentalFavoritism put on a pedestal]], Lovina was largely ignored to the point of neglect. Also, Francis' parents are this to the extreme.
141%%* PerpetualSmiler: Antonio and Feliciana are both this.
142%%* PintsizedPowerhouse: See BadassAdorable.
143* PleasePutSomeClothesOn: This is Ludwig's reaction whenever Feliciana sneaks into his bed naked.
144%%* PluckyGirl: Lovina. And Gill, too.
145%%* TheQuietOne: Berwald, as per canon. Also, Johnson.
146* RaisedByGrandparents: Lovina and Feliciana were raised by their grandfather after the events in "Tomatita."
147%%* ReallyGetsAround: Francis. [[spoiler:And Arthur in ''Round and Round'']].
148* RichBitch: Francis is a male version of this, but he does use the money to help his friends sometimes.
149* RotatingProtagonist: Used in all of the multi-chaptered stories, most noticeably in ''Just a Little Push''.
150%%* SarcasmBlind: Feliciana
151* SilentBob: Johnson is this, although so far Leon seems to be the only person who's any good at reading his nonverbal cues.
152* SingleTargetSexuality: The author has confirmed this is Antonio's sexuality—he's completely Lovi-sexual.
153%%* StalkerWithACrush: Sadiq is this towards Lovina.
154%%* StraightGay: No one would ever expect [[spoiler:Mattie and Gill]] to be [[spoiler:lesbian]].
155%%* SwitchingPOV: Especially in ''Just a Little Push''.
156* TeenPregnancy: Antonio's mother gave birth to him while she was still high-school age. [[spoiler:Later on in the canon, Lovina is pregnant as a teenager (presumably around 18 or 19), and Gabriela is still able to become pregnant, with twins, at around the same time.]]
157* TitleDrop: One in ''Tomatita'', as pointed out in the author note
158* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Lovina and Feliciana (when they were little), Mattie and Gill, Mattie and Ally
159* {{Tsundere}}: Just like in canon, Lovina is a type A. Arthur also seems to be a type A.
160%%* TykeBomb: Once again, I point you towards BadassAdorable.
161* TheUnFavourite: Poor Lovina. But she is this only to her parents - their grandfather seems to love them equally enough.
162* [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Unlucky Childhood Friends]]: Sadiq and Lovina, so long as you stretch the meaning of "friends".
163* VagueAge: The authoress herself, when asked about it, has said that she hadn't really decided on exact ages for any of the characters (she has since made up her mind, but the discrepancies are still there, particularly in the earlier stories).
164* ValleyGirl: Feliks talks with a ValleyGirl accent.
165* [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Victorious Childhood Friends]]: Antonio and Lovina. [[spoiler:They get married in ON2B.]]
166* [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend Violently Protective Boyfriend]]: Antonio (see BadassAdorable for why) and Ludwig.
167%%* YaoiFangirl: Lizzie is one of these to the extreme.
168%%* YuriFan: And her twin, Eli, is one of these. Kiku has been hinted to be both.
