Ludwig Beilschmidt is the personification of Germany. He is a young man with blond slicked back hair and light blue rectangular eyes with small pupils. He is very broad and muscular, and he is 180cm tall. He also puts a lot of effort into grooming his hair. He is also described to have particularly muscular thighs. Ludwig is known for being very serious and straightforward majority of the time. He usually does not joke around, usually being all business, and is very efficient in his everyday life. Although he comes off as intimidating to others, Ludwig has been shown to be helpful to others. Ludwig can often be seen doing different forms of physical training and mental strategizing. He takes his physical training seriously, anything from cardio to weight lifting, and has used these same principals on others, such as Italy and Japan, with mixed results. When thinking of strategies, Ludwig will look into a variety of things that will help him formulate the best course of action; taking into consideration others personalities, ways of thinking, previous battle history, current military/country strength and power, and other things. Ludwig especially takes his weapons training seriously. Being skilled in firearms, he knows his weapons well and the proper way to use and maintain them. Ludwig is a well-known neat freak, needing to keep things clean and in proper order at all times. He is especially particular in keeping his clothing and house in order, having been seen properly folding his uniform before working out and even going behind Italy to keep his kitchen clean while he was cooking. He is usually the one training others in combat and strategy and will lead meetings if necessary. Ludwig also believes in leading by example and had once given up drinking beer in order to encourage Japan to take his diet seriously. Some of his hobbies include making sweets, reading, and walking his dogs. Although he keeps it secret that he likes to bake cakes, he does not hide that he greatly cares for his pets. He can often be seen reading anything that catches his interest or to better understand something he is not familiar with. Because of his personality and intimidating appearance, Ludwig has a difficult time making friends. However, when he does make a genuine friendship with someone, he is incredibly loyal and supportive of that person. He will often jump in to help with several situations and will gratefully accept their help when offered. Ludwig has several family members that are noticeably different than himself in terms of personality and country strength. Although he is younger than many of his relatives, he appears to be one of, if not the, strongest and most stable. His older brother is Prussia and his cousin is Austria.
