🇩🇪 ੭﹕﹒Ludwig Beilschmidt / Germany 𓏼 ♡

General: Germany is known for being very serious and straightforward majority of the time. He usually does not joke around, usually being all business, and is very efficient in his everyday life. Although he comes off as intimidating to others, Germany has been shown to be helpful to others.

Training: Germany can often be seen doing different forms of physical training and mental strategizing. He takes his physical training seriously, anything from cardio to weight lifting, and has used these same principals on others, such as Italy and Japan, with mixed results. When thinking of strategies, Germany will look into a variety of things that will help him formulate the best course of action; taking into consideration others personalities, ways of thinking, previous battle history, current military/country strength and power, and other things. Germany especially takes his weapons training seriously. Being skilled in firearms, he knows his weapons well and the proper way to use and maintain them. He has even instructed Italy how to use a grenade, but the other country did things the opposite of how instructed.

Leadership: Germany is usually looked at as the head of the Axis group due to being bolder and being heavily involved with his military and keeping up to date with current military tactics and events. He is usually the one training others in combat and strategy and will lead meetings if necessary. Germany also believes in leading by example and had once given up drinking beer in order to encourage Japan to take his diet seriously.

Cleanliness: Germany is a well-known neat freak, needing to keep things clean and in proper order at all times. He is especially particular in keeping his clothing and house in order, having been seen properly folding his uniform before working out and even going behind Italy to keep his kitchen clean while he was cooking.

Hobbies: Some of his hobbies include making sweets, reading, and walking his dogs. Although he keeps it secret that he likes to bake cakes, he does not hide that he greatly cares for his pets. He can often be seen reading anything that catches his interest or to better understand something he is not familiar with, such as the behavior of Italians.

Private interests: Mainly revealed through Italy's frightened gushing, Germany has quite an interest in sexual activities that he tries to keep hidden. Italy also claims that Germany has interests that would surprise most others if they knew of them.

Friendships: Because of his personality and intimidating appearance, Germany has a difficult time making friends. He is noted to have not either have the time or social skills to approach others in hopes of getting acquainted until he met Italy. He was implied through his journal to have been somewhat bothered by this and had described that Italy was the first/only friend he had. However, when he does make a genuine friendship with someone, he is incredibly loyal and supportive of that person. He will often jump in to help with several situations and will gratefully accept their help when offered.

Family: Germany has several family members that are noticeably different than himself in terms of personality and country strength. Although he is younger than many of his relatives, he appears to be one of, if not the, strongest and most stable. These differences can be seen when he is around Prussia or Austria. Germany can be seen supporting the two because of delicacies or instability.

Prussia(Gilbert): Germany's older step brother and drinking buddy, who often refers to Germany as "West". Germany is often annoyed by many things Prussia says or does but is not afraid to physically restrain or hit him if he feels necessary. That said, Germany still cares about his step brother and will often look out for him or join him on missions, such as when they infiltrated an American camp.
