## **外貌特征**

台湾是一位身穿桃色（或亮粉色），有着金边水袖的旗袍和白色长裙的小姐姐。

她有着棕色长发，脑袋右侧还有根呆毛，头上戴着粉色的花朵。and a chibi sketch of her by Himaruya revealed that she has a flower-shaped birthmark (or tattoo) on her left thigh.

Before having the current appearance, Taiwan used to have many changes in clothes and hairstyles. In an earlier sketch, her qipao was drawn a little differently, she tied her hair into a side ponytail with some flowers pinned up in her hair. Another original design showing a different style of qipao and her flowers.

## **性格与爱好**

台湾是一位活泼、意志坚定，爱好时尚的年轻少女。但是她最近变得有些焦虑了。

Though she had yet to make an appearance in the actual manga, she was depicted in various sketches and appeared in the profile section of Hetalia: Axis Powers volume 2.

Her role in the drama track for the eighth Hetalia character CD predates any manga or anime appearance (as with Hong Kong, who appeared in Hetalia Fantasia). There, she is described as a rather intelligent, active girl with a slightly quick temper and very cheerful.

## **人际关系**

### **中国**

主条目:中国

在剧场CD中，台湾称呼中国为“老师”，但在其它小短漫里叫他“讨厌鬼”。早期插图显示比起中国台湾更喜欢日本，她觉得中国应该离他远点。在正片里，她对中国稍微友善了一点，但依然没有耐心去理会他的古怪之处。

### **日本**

主条目:日本

中国很失望，台湾居然会更喜欢日本。可能因为中华人民共和国一直在否认中华民国对台湾掌握实际主权这件事，以及缺乏相互尊重和相互认同。 也可能是在二战期间日本对台湾进行殖民时喜欢上他的。

### Vietnam

Taiwan and Vietnam seem to get along well with each other, although their personalities have big differences in character. Taiwan took Vietnam out to take pictures together, to her initial disappointment. Taiwan lent Vietnam a costume for Halloween.

### Hong Kong

Taiwan once had a bet with Hong Kong and Macau on what will China wear, on which she lost. She also once asked Hong Kong's help to clean her room.
In the **Taiwan's Lantern Festival** strip, she confronted Hong Kong to not wish for money this year and wish for something else instead. Hong Kong had a surprised face as he asked out in disbelief that other people wished for other things beside money. Taiwan persuaded him to wish for something else and Hong Kong decided to wish that China won't see-through.

## **名字**

In a 2010 blog post, Himaruya listed possible names for Taiwan to be **Lin Yi-Ling** (林乙玲) or **Hsiao-Mei / Xiao-Mei** (曉梅)\*.[1]

* 曉梅 (Hsiao-Mei or Xiao-Mei) is a given name suggested by Himaruya, he did not suggest a family name to go with this name.
* Although author Himaruya has announced the official name for Taiwan, some fans still call her Meimei (meaning "sister" in Chinese, or shortening Taiwan to "Wan" or "Wanwan").

## **冷知识**

* Before he settled on her present look, Hidekaz Himaruya drafted various designs for the character, as he revealed in an illustration on his blog. Rejected concepts included: A more "mature" design for a female version, Taiwan as a young boy and as a young girl, a short-haired variation of the female design, and Taiwan as both a younger and an older man.
* Her birthday corresponds with the date of **October 25, 1945**, when the Japanese military surrendered control of Taiwan back to China but this country's national day is **October 10**. However, in the Chinese printing of the second volume of Hetalia, her birthday was left out and the phrase "A part of China" was controversially added to her profile.
* Differently to her rare appearance in the manga and the webcomic, she seems to have a role in both Gakuen Hetalia, appearing in concept art for it. But as the game is incomplete, it remains to be seen what the extent of her role is.
* Like Hong Kong, she makes her speaking debut in a drama track ("Asian and Western Festivals" in China's character CD). She is voiced by Yuki Kaida, who also voices China.
* In a recent blog post, her name was revealed to possibly be **Lin Yi Ling** or **Xiao Mei**.
* It is hinted that Taiwan might very well be homosexual and the fact that she also may as well begun to sweat when she mentioned about westerner's girls breasts being "disturbing" to her. In addition, she also appears to be flirtatious towards Belarus in the 2009 Halloween Special. Taiwan is the first country in Asia to have legalized same-sex marriage. However, she is also very open around Japan and is most likely a friendly character in general.
