Vietnam

Vietnam is a supporting character in the series Hetalia: Axis Powers Vietnam has long, dark brown hair, she wears it in a low ponytail with a red bow. She wears a bright green áo dài - which is the Vietnamese traditional women's clothing, and a flat, conical hat (called a nón lá) tied to her back by a string red bow. Vietnam often carries a boat paddle. In one of her appearances in World☆Stars, she wears a Vietnamese navy uniform, with a fancy hair accessory. In a later illustration featuring her character profile, she is seen with the same uniform holding with her nón lá. Vietnam is described as "headstrong" due to the number of strong women in Vietnamese history. She appears a bit shy when it comes to her looks, appearing apprehensive when Taiwan wishes to take a picture with her and is uncomfortable wearing a Santa outfit in a 2009 Christmas Request. In a blog post, Himaruya mentioned that Vietnam has a natural skillfulness and uses it to create a variety of different objects, and Austria mentions in one comic that he special ordered cinnamon from Vietnam. In the volume four strip Ilha Formosa ~Beautiful Island~, Vietnam claims that she is not photogenic. In the Christmas 2011 event, Vietnam shows that she doesn't know how to smile and requests Thailand's help. In her new profile in chapter 376 of Hetalia: World Stars, she is described as an energetic nation with a lot of pride, and she values tradition and honour. She prefers coffee to tea and adds a lot of condensed milk to it. She is also dangerous when drunk.
