TurkGre :: Sadik + Heracles

Greece: A simple summary for Greece is that he’s a man of relaxation and cats.

Greece has brown hair, green eyes, and skin that is alternatively fair or olive depending on the artwork. He has a somewhat long nose and long eyebrows. On the top of his head, he has a double haircurl, a trait shared with Turkey, who instead has the curl on the side of his neck. He is as muscular as Germany. He wears a brown jacket, with brown pants and a white t-shirt. He occasionally wears a brown hat. In artwork, he is shown to carry a giant cross, which represents Mount Athos. In a color chart for the characters by Himaruya, his eyes were shown to be teal. However, in all of the actual artwork for the manga, his eyes are colored green or gold.

Personality and Interests He is said to have a serious personality, but he often seems carefree and casual. He is often seen with cats, a reference to Greece's stray cat population. He loves naps and is often seen sleeping, but even though it seems there is nothing in his head, he has a love for philosophy and history, and thinks about all sorts of things. It is said that if you dig in his backyard, you'll find many ancient ruins and things belonging to his mother, Ancient Greece. It is also implied that he frequently takes part in sexual activity; this is shown in a contribution Himaruya made to a Hetalia doujinshi anthology where England and France try to place the "blame" of the creation of the condom on him, seeing as he uses it very often. He replies by saying that while he does do these "activities" often, he doesn't really use condoms.

Turkey: Turkey is a rather loud man and he has a big figure.

Turkey is rather tall and olive-skinned, with a slight stubble on his chin (much like France). He wears a long green (sometimes tan) coat, brown pants, knee-high boots, a tan scarf, and a red fez hat. His face is usually obscured by a white mask. Like Greece, he has a double haircurl, but it rests down by his neck.

When not dressed up, he can often be seen wearing a green parka and brown pants.

Personality and Interests

Turkey is described as being a lively and excessively vigorous old man. Although his exact age has never been revealed, he is one of the nations in the cast who appear to be physically older. Known as the Ottoman Empire in his younger years, Turkey was a very powerful nation with an overwhelming army force. He had the intention to conquer Europe, who was quite scared of him at the time. In the modern days, however, he thinks about befriending them.

He is usually merry and friendly, yet he is determined to compete anytime with anyone (especially Greece) about the smallest things due to his somewhat stubborn nature. He can also be nosy from time to time.

Turkey is also shown to be a huge show off; it is mentioned that he is always seeking for new things and fashion, and always stays in style. He loves to entertain tourists, and is quite a gourmet who enjoys eating various things every day. He favors the taste of sweet foods like ashure and it is revealed that he carries a bottle of a sort of apple juice to drink during breaks. His other favourite drinks include coffee (with a huge amount of sugar) and rakı, a type of Turkish alcohol. He speaks in an Edo dialect.

Relationships

Greece Turkey took Greece under his control after having caused the fall of Constantinople and the Byzantine Empire. Greece remained under Ottoman control until the 19th century, when he became involved in a war to regain his independence and won. The two of them are unable to get along in the same environment without a fight of some sort, even after declaring a cease-fire, and will fight over even the most petty things. Turkey built a shopping mall near Greece's border for his usage in spite of their rivalry, and Greece said he would go shopping in Turkey if he happened to be near their border.[4] In a Christmas 2011 strip they seemed to enjoy each others company in the past when Turkey began telling stories to young Greece and Egypt.[5] It was noted that they both share the same trait of being unable to help but stop what they're doing and dance whenever they hear music. Greece has admitted that he's tried to get along with Turkey, but he always ends up using his "Hellas punch" on him. When asked if he could remember a time they did something fun together, he remembered when Turkey began to "bully" him in a bathhouse, though everything he did was positive(turning up the sauna's heat; scratching the dirt off of his body; massaging and stretching to remedy his stiff bones; and washing him with a loofa) as opposed to harmful.
