America (Alfred F. Jones)

America is a main character in the series Hetalia. His human name is Alfred F. Jones. He has short, golden blond hair with a cowlick, representing Nantucket, sticking up and blue eyes. He wears a tan uniform and a brown bomber jacket with a "50" on the back for the fifty states. His glasses are said to represent the state of Texas. America is often shown holding a hamburger or a large-sized soft drink, usually a cola, and flashing a thumbs-up.

America is a cheerful, energetic, yet somewhat conceited young man who is obsessed with heroes, justice, and freedom. He has the habit of sticking his nose into everyone else's business, which causes him to have difficulty making friends. He loves hamburgers and junk food, to the point of an obsession, and can even eat strange and inedible things due to inheriting England's sense of taste (or lack thereof). America is also known for not being aware of how "the atmosphere" is when he is around others, it is not that he lacks the ability to "assess the situation", he simply chooses not to. His hobbies are sports, games, and making movies, but he also enjoys watching movies specifically of the horror genre.

He possesses an abnormal amount of strength, shown even as a child by easily swinging a full-grown buffalo around.

America is shown to be ignorant of the geography outside his own home, believing that maps of the United States constitute the "world map" and believes that he can simply get to other countries by car travel. He becoming concerned about his weight, becoming obsessed with exercise which has caused him to become paranoid about his rising weight, as he is unaware of his building muscle. Aside from being afraid of ghosts, scary movies, and weighing scales, he also fears marmite. As America is obsessed with heroes and happy endings, he hopes that his future will be that way.

Though he is friends with a space alien named Tony, he does not believe in England's magical friends, fairies, or unicorns, except on Halloween.

Canada: America's kind-hearted brother, who is frequently overshadowed by him and is constantly mistaken for him. While most other nations either ignore or don't notice Canada, America seems to have no trouble noticing Canada most of the time and is actually the one who spends the most time with Canada. The two have a typical sibling relationship, with America being the more dominate one and trying to get Canada to be tougher.

England: America was adopted and cared for by Britian when he was young and the two view each other as brothers. However, their relationship became heavily strained when America started to become more independent and no longer needed Britian's support. Over the years after the Revolution, they appear to have re-established their bond, but both are still haunted by those events. While they often argue with one another, it is hinted they truly care about each other.

Japan: America has been close friends with Japan since he got him to open his borders.

Russia: Unlike many other characters, America does not seem instantly afraid of Russia as he can often be seen speaking directly with him without any sign of nervousness.

Davie: As a young boy, America was friends with a boy named Davie who was searching for blue flowers. America joined his search, but he noticed how, as the years went by, Davie seemed to not remember who America was. When seeing Davie had passed away, America appears to have taken it rather hard.
