*Bonus Chapter:
So I've gotten a lot of hate lately over my "out of character" story. Here's some of my favorite reviews:
From: Guest
Natalia is kind of out of character. I kind of expected her to bring out her
oh great and powerful knife or punch Alfred. Or defend herself in some way.
She's kind of a wimpy protagonist. She kind of like Canada in other words.

Pichulover14:Everyone in here is so out of character! Matt is so brave and
rebellious isn't he suppose to be a little shy. Natalia is like the diary of a
wimpy or ugly betty. I kind of thought Matt and her had a personality swap.
I'm really loving Lukas here. I'm on the sidelines cheering him on! (Go
NorwayxBelarus!) And is Seychelles another main character? Alfred is a really
big man slut it just makes me wanna choke him. I kind of expected him to be
clueless, loving guy for Natalia. Tell me what you think.
First off, who's Matt? I only have Matthias in my story, and he's a minor character… So, to satisfy the knife throwing and Alfred choking and silence them once and for all, let's rewrite the first chapter and see how things would be different, shall we?
Natalia had a reputation for being a mean girl, and she loved Ivan Braginsky more than anything. She would follow him to the ends of the earth just to watch him for even an instant, one could say that she had an obsession.
Since she liked to be alone to her Ivan worshipping, she usually sat in the janitors closet alone. She thought of Ivan only, and how badly she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him, if only he'd notice her for more than the scary girl that she was known for…
While sitting in the corner of the janitor's closet, a flash of light appeared, and two lovers stumbled in, already entangled in each other romantically. Natalia said nothing as Alfred and Elizabeta explored each other, she only looked on and hoped that her naturally intimidating aura would speak for itself.
As Elizabeta slipped out the door and Alfred waited until the coast was clear, he saw Natalia's shape in the corner, and felt her intimidating aura. He leaned in to see who was spying on them, but was greeted with a swift and accurate fist. Natalia stood up from her corner and glared at him, then she walked out.
Later that day, she was trying to get to Ivan's locker to greet him after class, but she saw Gilbert trying to argue with a laughing, carefree Alfred in front of his locker about Elizabeta. Feeling that Ivan's peace was being disturbed, she pushed past Alfred, who was leaning against a locker too close to Ivan's.
Alfred thought fast and grabbed Natalia's wrist, he laughed heartily, "This is my girlfriend Gilbert, didn't you know?"
Natalia glared at Alfred and puffed out her cheeks. She then reached into her back pocket and pulled out a switch blade, which she flung open almost as quickly as it appeared. She held the knife up to Alfred's throat, he gulped and tried to make a joke out of it.
"You can stop the joking now," he laughed uneasily.
Natalia pushed the knife closer to his throat, "Stop fucking with me, my heart only belongs to Ivan,"
Alfred immediately dropped her wrist and Natalia closed her knife, then she walked away to stand by Ivan's locker, and wait for him without fail. Although Ivan didn't come to his locker anymore, and Natalia had her suspicions that he had been using Ukraine's locker. She decided to pay her beloved sister a visit and demand to know what was going on.
Alfred watched Natalia walk away, stroking his throat where the knife was and vowing to never cross paths with her again. The rumors were true, she was a mean bitch.
And that ends the story. So really, what the fuck are you people saying? If the story is good, who cares about whether it's "out of character" or not. If you think you could write a better one and keep the plot line the same while using Himayura's outlandish and over the top personas, then go for it. But just keep in mind, Hetalia is a satire, and everything is over the top and overdone. If you think that Belarus would throw knives (in school mind you) then I dare you to write a story like mine. If you think that there's nothing more to a person than their obsession with another person, then write a story like mine.
So really it's very easy, stop taking a satire like Hetalia seriously and we can all enjoy Noticeably Unnoticed: Hetalia
