North Italy (Feliciano Vargas)

North Italy is a main character in the series Hetalia. His human name is Feliciano Vargas.

He has short brown hair and brown eyes, with a curl on the left side of his head, which acts as his erogenous zone when stroked or pulled. He is 172 cm tall, despairing at the 8 cm difference between him and Germany. He wears a blue WWII military uniform, a black shirt and tie, and black boots. As a child, he wore dresses and was often mistaken for a girl by Holy Roman Empire, Austria, and numerous others. When not in uniform, he can often be seen dressed in a white sailor suit-style top with blue collar, necktie, and sleeve bands, and blue shorts.

Italy is a cheerful, energetic man, who went from being the kin of Ancient Rome, to an irresponsible crybaby. He loves pasta, pizza, gelato, and cheese. Although he relies on Germany a lot, Italy doesn't really listen to what he says and instead daydreams or wanders off. His hobbies include cooking, siestas, painting, singing and also flirts with any cute girl he sees. Italy is shown to have a compulsion of stripping off all of his clothes for his daily 3PM "siestas", and usually forgets to put his pants back on after he wakes back up (causing Germany to have to lend him a pair of his own). His public nudity has become notorious enough to where Switzerland will fire upon him if he catches him streaking throughout his homeland.

He also has the verbal tic of making a "Ve" sound. Though he was relatively weak and timid as a child, he was able to take on Turkey single-handedly at one point.

Ancient Rome: The heir apparent to Rome's fortune and the grandson most often seen with Rome, Italy is shown to heavily care for and admire his grandfather. During his youth, Italy appeared to learn his artistic talent from Rome and was deeply sadden by his passing. Due to what happened to his grandfather, Italy refused to become a new Roman Empire when Holy Roman Empire offered him the chance to do so.

Romano: Italy's older brother and family member he is most often seen with. Despite Romano's harsh behavior, Italy greatly cares about his brother and tries to help him get along with others. While they knew of each other during their youth, they did not meet face to face for several years and did not get along for quite a while as Romano was incredibly angry and jealous of the attention and inheritance Italy got from their grandfather. However, they were later able to work things out and renew their sibling relationship although Italy often has to fend off Romano's attempts to keep him away from Germany and Japan.

Spain: Italy's oldest brother. In contrast to Romano's treatment toward him, Italy receives great love and support from Spain. Although they are not often shown together, Italy loves spending time with Spain and eating the flavorful food he provides. The two get along very well with one another and Italy expresses concern for Spain when he appears to be going through hardships.

France: When he was still young, Italy grew up with a teenage France. The two got along well until Italy was taken to spend time with Ancient Rome. When he returned, France only wanted to gain control of him. They are still on rather good terms, as Italy still refers to France as Big Brother France and has visited him a number of times. France is also unwilling to harm Italy despite being enemies.

England: Although the two appear to get along well when in a group, Italy is incredibly scared of Britian because of his "tasteless" food. He is often shown running away from Britian at great speed.

Germany: Italy appears to see Germany as his closet friend and ally. He constantly calls on Germany when he is in a "difficult" situation or battle. Because of how much Germany has helped him, Italy often tries to help him relax but his methods nearly always seem to backfire and cause Germany to become angry. Even knowing how angry Germany can get, Italy views him as a great person he can count on and learn from.

Japan: Another of Italy's closest friends. Italy often shows Japan friendly attention despite Japan not being comfortable with physical contact.

Austria: Austria took control over a younger Italy after Ancient Rome fell and helped raise him with the assistance of Hungary in Holy Roman Empire's house.

Holy Roman Empire: As a child, Holy Roman Empire would frequently chase Italy about, demanding that he should become part of the Holy Roman Empire. Italy was very frightened of Holy Rome because of his intense looks and atmosphere but was still willing to help him improve his art when asked. Over the time they spent together, Italy grew closer to Holy Rome to the point that he became greatly saddened by the news of his departure to war.

Hungary: Hungary helped raise Italy when they were both under Austria's rule and is considered to be an older sister figure to him. She is also one of the few who knew of Italy's true gender.
