Gilbert Beilschmidt

[Gilbert Beilschmidt]

Name: Gilbert Beilschmidt
Nickname: Prussia
Appearance: 177 cm, silver hair, pale skin and red eyes.
Usually has a little yellow bird sitting on his head, on his shoulder or flying around him.
He will do anything to become strong, and has an arrogant attitude, believing that he is the best and more awesome than anyone.

He is very muscular as he has been training to be stronger than everyone since he was very little though poor nutrition makes him look weaker than he is.

He gets extremely agitated whenever someone mentions Russia, a country he was held captive in and brutally tortured in his younger years. He still has nightmares about his imprisonment but doesn't like to talk about it (except once when he was drunk he spoke of one of the beatings he got where his captor cut him with a white-hot knife to Antonio and Francis). He only really feels truly safe when in the presence of his younger brother Ludwig.

He has kept diaries since he was a child, which leads to him having an entire library of journals. Almost all of them start with passages that read "I'm so cool/I was so cool today." He was able to write about his time in Russia in his diaries and always carries a leatherbound book with his time in captivity inside it so that he knows that no-one will read it while he's not there. He also seems to be fond of cute things, and buys things such as stuffed pandas.

He seems to have a tendency to sneeze and find himself bored with or distracted from tasks, especially reading, although he claimed to be "a wiz at cleaning" and also seemed to be good at gardening, so it's possible his skills show when he is less distracted.


He is openly bisexual and his best friends are Antonio Fernandez Carriedo and Francis Bonnefoy
and together they are in a group called the "Bad Touch Trio".
He is a rebel at heart and has issues with authority but is loyal to people who are strong and that he respects. He drinks a lot, swears a lot and is known for his perverted behaviour.

He usually wears tops with long sleeves or a jacket so as to avoid awkward questions about his scars from his past (though most are on his chest and back). He is new to the country and can speak English but has a prominent German accent.

He has a pet bird called Gillbird. He doesn't know where it came from, why it started following or when it started following him but it does. All the time.
