Movie
Description
Liechtenstein is a supporting character in the anime film Hetalia Axis Powers: Paint it, White!. She is the personification of the Principality of Liechtenstein, a tiny nation nestled between Switzerland and Austria. In terms of appearance, she is a petite teenage girl with blonde hair cut into a chin-length bob, green eyes, and a blue or purple ribbon tied on the right side of her head. Originally part of the Austrian nobility, her early life was unstable; after World War I, she fell into poverty and famine. Switzerland discovered her and adopted her as his younger sister, saving her from collapse. Grateful and admiring, Liechtenstein cut her long braided hair to resemble him and began wearing a ribbon to affirm her femininity after being mistaken for a boy.

Her personality is described as humble, mature, level-headed, and somewhat high-tech. She speaks in a formal, polite manner and is not afraid to state her opinions clearly. Despite her composed exterior, she can display shyness and self-consciousness, particularly about her flat chest. She is sociable and maintains friendships with several other nations, including Hungary, Ukraine, and England, and she remains polite and cordial with Austria. Her strongest bond is with Switzerland, whom she looks up to and relies on for protection, as her country maintains no army. She willingly assists him in daily life and once worried about his outdated weapons during World War II, but he reassured her.

In the film Paint it, White!, the story revolves around an alien race called the Pict that transforms humans into Pict-like creatures. Liechtenstein is shown as one of the few nations who remains unaffected by this transformation. She appears briefly in a news report alongside Canada, attempting to help partially converted humans. Her role in the movie is minor but highlights her status as a calm and stable presence amid chaos.

Her development is subtle but present: she grows from a vulnerable, poverty-stricken orphan into a confident young person who actively bonds with others and expresses her individuality. A notable ability is her talent as a seamstress; she once sewed a pair of frilly pink pajamas for Switzerland. She also demonstrates a keen interest in technology and is described as surprisingly high-tech for her size. Liechtenstein's primary motivation is to support and be close to her adoptive brother, while also maintaining her own identity and friendships.
