Prussia was born to fight the same type of battles as Austria, but was a hooligan who did nothing but fight and found a means of escaping marriage.[19] He loves fighting and will often say things in order to start quarrels.[15] He will do anything to become strong[19], and has an arrogant attitude and a "world-sized ego"[20]. Despite this roughness in his personality, he is said to be "unexpectedly fairytale-like," too.[18] Himaruya has stated that he was originally a villain-like character, but over time, became more hetare, but it doesn't show in his outward appearance.[4] Although he claims to enjoy being alone[21] and that clustering is for the weak, he was brought to tears upon seeing Hungary and Austria together, though he admitted the tears were already welling up(however this was from his "love" for being alone and his "lack" of bitterness being surrounded by couples in the streets.)[22] It was stated that this loneliness stemmed from that he felt like an enclave rather than an actual nation. Despite feeling alone, he seems to have many friends, though when informed of this he gets rather quiet.[23] He's fought for his own survival since he was born and is very strong as a result[15], and has even maintained this strength in modern times despite his status as region, forcing one of the Parallel Frances off of him and out of the house through a window with a single shove, after being attacked.[24] In addition, in Noto-sama 5, it was said that he's much stronger than he looks.[25] When Prussia drinks, he appears to become rather sleepy.[26][27] Germany once said that Prussia "knows little about common sense."[28] Deep down, it is said that his true nature is that of a punctual and diligent soldier and Germany's severe, methodical, serious big brother, though his bad manners (especially during his "transition period") mask it.[29] This is supported by Latvia commenting that Prussia was very punctual and never late for anything, very methodical, and very persistent in his diary writing, never missing a day. Latvia also said that Prussia "loots everything and opens all the drawers"[30], showing his methodicalness in a rather negative way. He's been stated to be a hard worker, but his exterior shows an "Not gonna do anything" face.[18] Despite that he often seems to be lazy, he does seem to have his own work to do, or that he at least helps Germany with his, as he had a meeting with Switzerland about some important work[31] and he accompanied Germany to a world meeting in their Counting Sheep CD. During the meeting, he somewhat helped Germany with his presentation, making comments and asking questions here and there.
He is very loyal to his leaders, and had a strong attachment to Frederich II, known to him as "Old Fritz."[19] He continues to hope that Old Fritz will watch over him[31][21] and that he'll be proud. Despite this, he was rather startled when he said that he hated women.[32] It is said, however, that he tends to become rather depressed if his history with Fritz is brought up due to this attachment.[15] A fan once requested Friedrich the Great praising Prussia a lot, to which Himaruya drew Prussia happily being pat on the head by Fritz who was off-screen.[33] Prussia has also mentioned petting others in his character song, and had pet Latvia and a small bird on his blog, enjoying how soft they were,[28] so he seems to enjoy doing so to others as well, likely seeing it as some form of praise.
Prussia often affectionately refers to his younger brother Germany as "West," and hates Russia[19] almost to the point of coughing up blood should he touch him (and losing four eyelashes otherwise)[34] though this may be an exaggeration on his part. He doesn't get along well with Austria, Hungary, or Poland,[15] and also seems to very much enjoy the company of the Italy brothers.[35] Despite his hatred of Russia, because Germany is so strong, he's not freaked out by Russia very much anymore. He seems to be very proud of Germany for this.[34] He often takes out his meddling on his neighbors and Russia.[20] Despite being the younger sibling, Germany has banned Prussia from using his computer[23] and grounded him at the end of Hetalia Fantasia 3.
It is revealed that he had kept diaries since he was formed, which led to him having an entire library of journals. Almost all of them start with passages that read "I'm so cool/I was so cool today."[2] He also seems to be fond of cute things, such as small birds and stuffed pandas, and soft things, like a bird's feathers or Latvia's hair.[28] He loves new things and is sometimes a bit too free-spirited.[36] Prussia has been shown to have little self-restraint, buying pandas from China[37] and Hong Kong[28] under the pretense that they'd make him happy. In addition, he's said that he's fond of sleeping, fighting, Old Fritz, and eating, his fondness for eating being displayed in his going to England to eat lunch, him "only accepting" France's ability to cook well,[37] and his desire to get food from Italy and Austria with his brother in their Counting Sheep CD.
He seems to have a tendency to sneeze and find himself bored with or distracted from tasks, such as reading,[38] although he claimed to be "a wiz at cleaning(among other things)" and also seemed to be good at gardening,[39] so it's possible his skills show when he is more focused. In his and Germany's Counting Sheep CD, after sneezing and growing bored of counting, Germany insists he continue to count, causing him to continue, also raising the possibility that he can continue to do things despite his own odds if encouraged. During Halloween 2011, he claimed he had a natural talent in everything he did, proving it by learning one of India's dances(and performing with him) in a month's time.[23] According to him he'd practiced the whole month. Italy then said that he was a very hard worker, to which Germany agreed.[40]
As a child he was rather religious, having personified the Teutonic Knights, a medieval military order. This is shown after he'd groped Hungary when they were young and, feeling her breasts having begun to grow in and realizing she was a girl, he prayed to God for forgiveness of his sin. God, however, asked him to tell him something new as, with the Pope's permission, he was allowed to do was he pleased, the rule likely being similar to that of the real-life Templars and Teutonic Knights, that he prayed for forgiveness afterwards.[2] Later in life, after the Battle of Tannenburg and being beaten up by Poland and Lithuania, Prussia calmed down, decided to be quiet, and lived under Poland's care and as something like his vassal, the Duchy of Prussia.[41] At this time, he said he was very modest and didn't stand out among his brothers, until the House of Hohenzollern strengthened him. Following that, he became a superpower and decided that the Germans needed to be a proper group. He then kicked Austria out and unified the German states, forming young Germany[36] His training methods are like abuse and his strictness showed in training America during the Revolutionary War.[42]
At another fan request, Himaruya presented a "Shobon Collection"(shobon being a Japanese word that can mean "dejected," "lonely," or "depressed" depending on the context) featuring Prussia, Russia (with Latvia), and Germany (with Italy attempting to cheer him up by giving him a cat). Prussia, however, denied it, attempting to laugh it off.[43] He is said to to get upset at any words that sound like "mark", especially "maruku" (Japanese for "roundness"), "marukyu" (a Japanese grocery store chain), and the name "Mark".[34] However, why this is has yet to be stated.
