Headcanons

Obligatory headcanons page.

Please note: these are my personal headcanons. You might agree with them, or you may not. I spend time doing research before writing a headcanon down, but sometimes I don't, and I instead make something up that relates to the character's personality.

Also, I write down headcanons for characters I relate to or generally like. Some headcanons might be humorous and "just for fun".

Edit to the right was made by heta--transparents on tumblr.

In no particular order:

Bulgaria

• He was "born" around the 6th or 7th century, the Dark Ages.
• He has mild scoliosis - I got that from how he's sometimes drawn in official art, with one shoulder lower than the other.
• Remember that one time he hit Italy with a stick, stating that it was something about his face? Yeah uhh...prosopagnosia
  Though, he can usually tell who is who by what a person wears.
• Sometimes he'll refer to himself as the guy who invented yoghurt...
  ...while knowing full well that it's thought to have been invented in Mesopotamia.
• His habit of shaking his head yes and nodding his head no is near impossible to break, it's in his DNA.
• He's not quite proud of his Ottoman years.
• Volcel. He wasn't always like this though.
• He takes pride in being the one to invent the Early Cyrillic alphabet.

Greece

• He's supposed to wear glasses, but he doesn't, for whatever reason. I got that from his early design.
• Despite coming off the way he does, he's very philoxenic.
• He has a rare tendency to think that mental illness is a direct response from angry gods. This is because many people believed that exact same thing in ancient Greece, and, since Ancient Greece is Greece's mother, he just kind of inherited that mindset.
  (However, he rarely, if ever, thinks like that anymore.)
• He was "born" around the 1200s, before the Byzantine-Ottoman wars.
• (In reference to Greece's stray cat population...) He prefers to let cats roam free, and that their natural lifestyle should be respected.
• As a little nod to being one of the top 20 watermelon producing countries, he chose his own surname to be Karpouzi (Καρπούζι, watermelon).
• Most of what he does throughout the day, besides necessities (eating, sleeping, et cetera), is thinking/philosophising, spending time taking care of stray cats, and taking part in sexual activity indulging in his interest in history.
• He has light freckles due to sun exposure. They often fade, though.

Romania

• Contrary to what people might think, he's not a vampire. His canines are sharp due to him being Eastern European. I'm not being stereotypical here, I'm from Eatsern Europe myself and my canines - while slightly blunted now - have always been sharp to some degree. Most European people, in general, have sharp canines. Hope you learned something about teeth today.
• Ileana Cosânzeana is real, she's his best friend. He knows her personally.
• He doesn't know that Transnistria is a whole different person. Nota bene: Transnistria is not a canon Hetalia character, at least not to my knowledge. Transnistria is its own breakaway state that declared its independence from the Moldovan SSR on September 2, 1990. However, only Abkhazia, the Republic of Artsakh and South Ossetia recognise its independence.
• Adding on to the previous headcanon: even when his younger brother shows him that Transnistria is independent by physically bringing her over (as I picture Transnistria to be female...), Romania still won't acknowledge her. "What do you mean that's Transnistria? No, Transnistria is a part of you, it's not independent! Now tell me, who is this girl? And don't you dare lie to me, I'm not that stupid!"
• "Born" around 106-275 AD. Back when the Roman Dacia/Dacia Traiana was a thing.
• Despite not being a vampire, he likes to play along with the stereotypes, like drinking blood or avoiding sunlight.
• He enjoys shoving the whole Transylvania thing down Hungary's throat.
• Let's just say...his SSR years weren't the best, he's not exactly proud of them.
