How do you decide who are your favourite characters?

I don't decide who they are, actually. I just realize that I like them a lot more than others. For example, I'm a huge fan or Norway, but at first, I didn't think too much of him. But then, as I got more into the Hetalia fandom, I realized that I liked Norway, because I'd be like, squealing over every fan art I saw of him. Hahaha... I don't know how I came to like him. I just started to like him for some strange reason.

(Aw, shoot man, I can't source this because the original image doesn't exist anymore. :( )

You don't exactly decide. At least in my opinion. Anyways, most of the time your favourite characters can grow on you, others you find you start to like over time, or in some cases a character you grow to like even though you didn't like them at first. Some times characters can become your favourite right away. -smiles-

The way Prussia became my most favourite character was an over time thing. At first I actually didn't like Prussia. I thought he seemed loud and kind of obnoxious. After awhile, I started to see his character more and his personality. He then became my most favourite Hetalia character. I absolutely just love Prussia and I admire him. He's utter perfection in my eyes.

I agree with Ren-Chan. You don't have to decide who are your favorite characters. You can like a character from the beginning, but sometimes you have to take time to get used to some of them.

I already loved Italy before he said his first line. I could imediantly tell that he'd be my favorite character from the show. However I didn't like Prussia at first, but he grew on me after a while, and in the end he became my second favorite character.

they all are awesome to me

Norway <33333

I don't know what to expect from the characters in a show so I can't exactly specify a fixed criteria in choosing a favorite. I just realize, or as what you say, decide the character is my favorite when he or she has proven to be the one I look forward to the most in the show and artworks. In most cases, they're the ones who have: a.) interesting, intriguing personality or character background/past; b.) They say or do the cleverest, wittiest, most amusing lines/acts.; c.) They are prime movers that set the plot in motion and are emotionally and mentally involving. (Now, I'm not pertaining to thorny kuu guys with emo tendencies.). Well, that's how it goes, generally speaking. In Hetalia, my top picks are Austria, Prussia, Germany and England who I equally like. Besides the fact that I have predilection for anything Germanic, these characters have complex or simply interesting personality, they are more than meets the eye (which makes me wonder more than any other characters in the story), and there really are something intriguing about their past featured by Hima about them that really make me go figuring out, and they have that surprising kind of humor, I just love their scenes, so that makes them engaging to follow thus that's how I know that indeed they are the apples in my eyes.

Canada , Prussia, and Russia are my favorites.
