Creator notes

Latvia (ラトビア Ratobia) is a supporting character in the series Hetalia.

Last checked on Wyvern: Created Updated Archived since

The youngest of the three Baltics, he is described as a withdrawn and a crybaby due to the series of unfortunate events he's experienced in life. He is often pushed around by Russia, whom he tried and failed to cut ties with. He loves poetry and romance novels, and is recently hooked on tragic love stories.

Although he is a crybaby, he will often fail to read to the atmosphere and say or do what is prohibited in front of Russia, and then has to face harsh consequences.

Latvia can be called a "hidden genius" who manages to do things that seem impossible. However, he often does not partake in these endeavors unless ordered, so has slacked off as of late. Once Russia forced Latvia to build a railway that goes through his country and after the work was completed, Latvia was both impressed and shocked that everything worked out in one shot and trembled excitedly knowing he had these "hidden powers and talents" within himself. The next moment, however, he tossed the idea to the side saying, "Not a chance, right?".

He is said to be a bit pliable and unassertive compared to the other two Baltic States. He has a habit of thinking pessimistically. He is also troubled by stray bullets and is said to suffer from insomnia because Russia haunts his dreams.

Despite being rather young in physical age, Latvia drinks a lot of alcohol. He once stated that he is able to drink up to forty cups of alcohol at his best.

{{Relationships "Estonia: Despite both being Baltic states, they are not brothers and have little in common. Latvia and Estonia are in a "mild battle" over the origin of the Christmas tree. Though they are said to be under a ceasefire, the issue is said to be shouldering under the surface. Estonia seems to care for Latvia's well-being, as he will often yell out Latvia's name if Latvia is in danger or simply in a bad situation. The two have an odd relationship as Latvia envies Estonia's confidence yet finds his interest in Mochi bizarre and Nordic pursuits overbearing. Sealand once pointed out that he doesn't actually know much about Estonia, which upset Latvia somewhat."

"Lithuania: Also a Baltic companion, Latvia is less seen with Lithuania as he is with Estonia, but Latvia is shown to highly respect Lithuania. Latvia often competes with Estonia for Lithuania's attention, but he resents the fact that Lithuania prefers Poland. Even so, they appear to be good friends and are caught hanging out together."

"Russia: Latvia is very frightened of Russia. Russia is Latvia's former boss he has failed to cut ties with, even in modern times, Latvia is often shown alongside Russia. Latvia frequently lets the wrong things slip out in front of Russia, and then has to face the consequences because he has failed to read the atmosphere. Latvia often ends up maimed by Russia's cruel retaliations, usually Russia's pressing down his head. The result is Latvia's growth spurt which Latvia notes that if Russia didn't do this, he would have grown up to an additional 10 centimeters by now."

"Sealand: Though Latvia stabbed him with a flower when they first met at a world meeting, the two quickly managed to become close friends, due to their similarity of being small nations that weren't taken very seriously. Latvia attempts to act as an older brother and mentor figure to Sealand, but his own insecurities and worries tend to get in the way."
