Sweden (Berwald Oxenstierna) in Hetalia is a tall, muscular, and intimidating man with a surprisingly soft, quiet, and playful personality underneath his stern exterior.

Physical Appearance

• Height & Build: Stands at 181–182 cm (5'11.6"), making him the tallest of the Nordic countries and tied with characters like Russia and Germany. He has a strong, muscular, "brick wall" build. • Hair & Eyes: Short, light platinum-blond hair and turquoise or greenish-blue eyes. • Accessories & Attire: He wears rectangular glasses and typically sports a dark-blue military or naval-style overcoat. • Expression: Wears a constant, unreadable, intimidating stare that often makes people think he is angry.

Personality

• Taciturn and Quiet: He is a man of few words, often speaking in a regional dialect (such as middle-Fukushima or Tohoku) with grunts or truncated words. • Easily Embarrassed & Playful: Despite his scary aura, he is actually quite shy, easily overwhelmed by emotion, and secretly playful. He is often unaware of how frightening he looks to others. • From Conqueror to Welfare Advocate: Historically a fierce viking warrior and conqueror with titles like the "Lion of Northern Europe," he has calmed down in modern times to practice military neutrality and focus on art and social welfare. • Hobbies: Enjoys furniture-making (working at an IKEA parody store named BENY), glass crafts, sewing, and art. Sweden is a tall man with short, shaggy platinum blond hair and turquoise eyes. He also wears thin, rectangular glasses.

He has a distinctive stare that many other characters perceive as menacing, a facial expression he shares with Holy Roman Empire, Prussia, Germany and Germania (a nod to the fact that they are all tied to Germanic peoples).

He is the tallest of the Nordics and also one of the tallest characters overall (though Netherlands remains the tallest at 185 cm). Even before Hetalia☆Collezione[6] officialized many characters' heights, a strip from "Comic Diary Summary Part 7"[7] mentioned that there was approximately a 12cm height difference between him and Finland.

In a blog post[8] from 2011, Sweden was described as "considerably muscular".

Personality Sweden S6 Ep03-1 Sweden was once a viking and the "Conqueror Of The Baltic Sea", but now stands neutral in military matters; he has calmed down and currently puts his strength into welfare. He is silent and difficult to understand; his taciturnity is due to the fact that he was born in a cold area. Deep down, he is actually quite playful, but it's rarely shown because of his intimidating aura.

His hobbies include making furniture and art. It is said that his canned Surströmming can be used as a deadly weapon. He speaks in a Fukushima dialect,[9] often translated in English as grunts and truncated words.

Despite his silence, he is said to take interest in arguments and debates.
