MORE Prussia is the personification of Prussia and East Germany, and he was born as the personification of the Teutonic Knights.

Physical Appearance skinny build. His haircut assymetrical. In modern media, he dresses in a more casual and vintage fashion. although Prussia is older than Germany, he is shorter in comparison due to malnutrition. Albino.

Personality Prussia will do anything to become strong, and has an arrogant attitude, believing that he is the best and still more "awesome" than others, although he hasn't really succeeded at his goal. Although he proclaims to like being alone, he is seen crying when he sees Hungary and Austria together. It was stated that this loneliness stemmed from that he felt like an enclave rather than an actual nation. Germany once said that Prussia "knows little about common sense." Deep down, it is said that his true nature is that of a punctual and diligent soldier, though his bad manners (especially during his "transition period") mask it. He is very loyal to his leaders, and had a special attachment to Frederich II, known to him as "Old Fritz". He continues to hope that Old Fritz will watch over him and that he'll be proud. It is said though, that he tends to become rather depressed if Fritz is brought up due to this attachment. It is revealed that he had kept diaries since he was formed, which led to him having an entire library of journals. Almost all of them start with passages that read "I'm so cool/I was so cool today". He also seems to be fond of cute things, and buys things such as stuffed pandas, as seen on his April Fools Blog. In addition, on his blog, he says he's fond of sleeping, fighting, and eating, his fondness for eating being displayed in his going to England to eat lunch, him "only accepting" France's ability to cook well, and his desire to get food from Italy and Austria with his brother in their Counting Sheep CD. He seems to have a tendency to sneeze and find himself bored with or distracted from tasks, especially reading, although he claimed to be "a wiz at cleaning" and also seemed to be good at gardening, so it's possible his skills show when he is less distracted. In his and Germany's Counting Sheep CD, after sneezing and growing bored of counting, Germany insists he continue to count, causing him to continue, also raising the possibility that he can continue to do things despite his own odds (boredom) if encouraged.

Biography A lot of what is known about Prussia's life comes from the diaries he has been writing since the dawn of his existence. Because of his arrogant and self-absorbed personality, he makes quite the unreliable narrator, which is something other Nations have sometimes pointed out by giving a more nuanced point of view on Prussia's past. His bio from Axis Powers Volume 2 states that he was born to fight the same battles as Austria, but unlike him, Prussia managed to avoid marriages and did nothing but fight.

driven by his lack of boundaries and hunger for power, he would go on to bully Russia, who was known back then as the Novgorod Republic, which leads to the Battle on the Ice However, that battle ends with the Teutonic Knights' defeat, and Russia jumps on the opportunity to manhandle a weakened Prussia. Prussia would then strain his relationship with Poland as well, because of a territorial dispute similar to that of Burzenland which he ends up winning. Tension between Prussia, Poland and Lithuania would keep rising and eventually reach its climax during the Battle of Grunwald, where Poland and Lithuania (allied but not yet the single-state Commonwealth) defeat him thanks to a ruse from Lithuania. This battle killed most of the Teutonic leaders, and this defeat propelled the Teutonic Order into its decline.

With their reputation of "invincible warriors" tarnished, the Teutonic Knights progressively dwindled due to infighting, losing control over most of their territory. It is also from that point on that Prussia starts being referred to as such, instead of the Teutonic Knights. Prussia has naturally been on the receiving end of Russia's overbearing and behavior, just like the other occupants of the house (the Baltics and Moldova, though the latter eventually warms up to Russia). For more information, see their relationship section.

Modern Era After the German reunification, Prussia moved back in with Germany (formerly West Germany) with his modest possessions. Despite what he has been through and his dislike for Russia, he still experiences ostalgie(meaning nostalgia for East Germany).
