Timezone → US Pacific | GMT -8
Other characters → (NOT SO) FRESH MEAT
Character → The Netherlands
Age → WHO CAN REALLY SAY. He physically appears about his early- to mid-twenties.
Canon → Axis Powers Hetalia
Timeline → Present day
History → Hetalia Wiki & Notes on the page | Netherlands Wiki & Netherlands History Wiki
Personality → The Netherlands is a complete neatfreak when it comes to living spaces. He says that he cleans every single day and he would rather eat outside than dirty his kitchen. He doesn't like people touching his things because it will dirty them or move them from their rightful place. He has signs outside his home that say "Self service" and "Take off your shoes" which illustrate his aloof and tidy personality. He takes the most pride in his cleanly kitchen and gardens. He has a hatred for messy things including tangles and knots.
Belgium says that her brother is "stingy with money" and it's clear from his actions that he has an obsession with making money and maintaining his wealth. In the strips he's shown not to go Dutch when paying a bill if it's to his disadvantage and he buys fish from Poland and Lithuania only to pickle, salt, and sell it at a higher price. He's a good businessman, refusing to accept a lower price than what he demands. He's even willing to sell arms to his enemy as long as they pay him.
He has a very quiet demeanor. In one strip, he's shown to watch from a distance and walks off before Austria can see him stalking around. He's the silent, brooding type. He won't say more than necessary, not seeming very friendly even with his faithful trading partners. If anything, his responses are secretive, short, and vague. In other words, he's tricky. Even though he's very to the point with his speech and actions, he's a lover of romantic poetry.
He's not the friendliest of the bunch. In a small blurb, it's said that he usually plays rough. Though he's willing to talk shop and interact with others, he won't pay for them, he doesn't reveal his methods, and he tends to push on without waiting for others or explaining himself. He's impatient yet finds it a nuisance if he's the one interrupted. He doesn't make many demands but when he does, he expects them to be followed thoroughly and immediately. In fact, he's a bit rude. Rather than saying please and thank you, he'd just silently hold his cup out and wait for it to be refilled.
He's very close to his sister Belgium even though they were estranged for a long time. That's probably why he's not the warmest with her although he wants to make an effort: she decided on independence rather than joining him. His rabbit says that he's lonely after the fight with Belgium and that's why he makes efforts to keep relationship with Japan. Belgium is one of the few countries that seems to understand him, or at least isn't too shocked by his behavior behind the pokerface. When she asks to see Santa Claus for Christmas, the Netherlands says he'll bring Santa to her, promises, and even writes a note saying that he remembers his promise. Even though he hates Spain, he forces Spain into a Santa suit and brings him to Belgium since he said he would bring Santa to her. He makes an effort to please her.
He doesn't like Spain and Himaruya writes that he beat Spain up. He refuses to eat with Spain around and will often watch Spain from afar before walking away. For the 2010 Christmas Event, he keeps telling Spain to go away and threatens to attack him when Spain won't relent. Christmas isn't enough to cheer his Grinch heart, a true year-round downer. He drags Spain in the 2011 Christmas Event though Germany pays him in a shady way, showing the lengths he requires to be friendly with Spain.
He has a strong relationship with Japan. He couldn't be too hard on Japan during his isolantionist period. He was the only one Japan kept in touch with and brought a summary of European activity every visit. Even though he's goes out of his way to see Japan, he isn't the most delicate. He states that Japan should open his borders and when he refuses, lets sunlight hit Japan and attempts to detangle him from his sheets by force. In the Christmas event, Denmark goes to make friends with Japan but Netherlands doesn't allow him to visit.
He has a pet rabbit, he smokes, and he's around Germany and Denmark's height. Yeah.
Strengths and Weaknesses → He's a nation so his health and age depend on his peoples. Other than that, he doesn't have any supernatural abilities but here's a quick run down:
+ Business savvy / - Ultra stingy
+ Ultra clean / - Somewhat neurotic
+ Keeps few really close / - Usually unfriendly
Other → "Initially, Netherlands was said to be a strong strategist and world-dominating type of man who likes very young women and thinks nothing of using some types of shady drugs." This seems to float around a lot but I have yet to actually find where Himaruya wrote this. Xenophobic and tsundere are also sifting amongst the information of the interbutts though these are early speculations. His introduction to the canon seems to deviate slightly (he's seen in the company of other nations but his less-than-friendly demeanor doesn't automatically mean xenophobic). As there's nothing to contradict it explicitly and his trickiness is rather strategic, these are traits I'll incorporate into what is already shown from the canon.
Sample → [In response to the latest curse!]
He didn't know how this had happened. Why had it happened? What had he done to bring this upon himself? Normally there was some kind of sign: recession, civil war, something. Never did it come so suddenly but then again, Netherlands had never lived a day without failing to clean his his kitchen.
But there was always a time for the first. There he was, confined to his bed with a hot towel over his forehead and his sheets pulled up to his nose, unwilling to wear his scarf in the fear he might smear snot on it. Tomorrow for sure he would change the linens, steam press his clothes, and scrub every inch of the room. No way was he letting this disease remain in the confines of his home! But as it were, he lay in his bed, quarantining himself within the apartment, and too stubborn to set a foot outside his door lest he contaminate the kitchen.
He couldn't smoke because he'd start coughing. He refused to cough because then he'd spread the virus. In fact he was convinced anything he did at that point would only escalate his very mild case of the common bug. If it hadn't been for the fact that he seemed to catch it overnight, he would have avoided his home completely. Now he'd have to do an entire sweep of the apartment just so he could rest knowing he'd eradicated the origins of it. But as for now, all he could do was glower at the ceiling and pull another sheet from the nearby armory of tissue boxes on his nightstand.
Plenty of sleep and plenty of water. That was the best way to combat a cold and best of all, it was free. Since arriving in Vatheon, he'd stalked a number of the business around and was well aware of that there was such thing as "delivery", but the last thing he'd do was pay for somebody else to bring him dinner. He grumbled at the mere idea of it and slapped his hand over his mouth. Now there was an unsettling thought attempting to creep out again.
