Eva "Zelig" Beilschimdt is a fanmade character for Hetalia Series and she represents West Berlin, the capital city of Germany/Prussia.



Appearance
Eva looks unlike Gilbert and Ludwig as she has short, dark brown hair with a small curl on the right and assymetrical bangs and blue eyes. However, she had a long hair back in WWI and WWII. She is a tall woman who usually wears a blue-green military unifrom, black leather gloves and black boots with an iron cross wrapped around her neck. During times of war she wears a military uniform. During WWI she wore a blue wool scarf, a kriegsmarine trench coat(until now, she wears it in special occasions only) and black boots. Then during WWII she wore a green Waffenrock tunic and breeches and a bun on her head. She is a tall, slightly muscular woman and both of her brothers are impressed by that. Everytime she trains herself, she wears a grey t-shirt with her blue-green military tunic wrapped around her waist and still wearing the same military breeches, black boots and an iron cross still wrapped around her neck.

A long time ago, she used to wear a dirndl and she had a long hair reaching her waist. Eventually, the time that WW2 is finished, she cut her hair as she said to herself that she will accept shame(after losing WWII), not as a woman, but as a "man", for she felt that women in shame is a painful thing for her, and wore her usual military uniform.

At times like the Conference Meeting or the World meeting, she wears a black suit with a red tie and a golden pocket watch. Because of that, all the outfit of her choice made her look like a man and at that point she is considered as a "trap".

Personality and Interests
In personality, Eva takes after Ludwig as she is serious, stern and motivated, especially at being a neat freak. She is a boyish girl and she is very tough—physically and emotionally—but back then, she was a bit girlish. Sometimes she is mean—I repeat, sometimes—especially to Italy back in WWI and WWII because he was being an "hetare" and that disappoints and annoys her, though she is more patient than Germany. She enjoys reading, she favors the Brothers Grimm or the Grimm Brothers as she has interests for such twisted climaxes and a slightly twisted good endings. She also loves listening to a German classical music like Erlkönig and Heidenröslein and any music with dark and twisted stories. When dark stories are talked about and overheard by her, she'll try her best to fit in the conversation. She is more prone to drinking beer than Gilbert and Ludwig and that surprises them both, although in the next morning she goes vegetable. She is very good at weaponry, but doesn't bring weapons in public especially in the modern days. She loves playing soccer and writing stories.

Everytime she sees a person/country walking and standing limp or even slouching, she'll yell at them to stand or sit straight.

Since she always acts like a man and dress like a man, the countries and capitals that know her call her "Zelig" instead of "Eva", she is often called as a "his/him/he", the only countries that call her "she/her" are Prussia, E. Berlin and Germany.

Prussia
As the former capital of Prussia, they are considered to be very close to each other. They always hang out, have a drinking contest(and Berlin always wins) and train together but that happens occasionally since Prussia has no interests in training most of the time. Back in the old days, she is taken care of Prussia but since she acted more mature(even when she was young) it went the other way around.

When she was with Gilbert, she's very annoyed of his obnoxiousness and his fighting personality and a tendency to buy unimportant stuff causing more trouble around Gilbert's house and some messed up ideas that Prussia ever made. When he built the Berlin Wall around West Berlin, she started to have a little hatred and mistrust to Prussia. Then the time when the Berlin Wall is demolished, she forgave Prussia but she still has this great mistrust on him and their bonds had cracks like it will break with just a small hammer.

Germany
Eva and Ludwig shared mutual behaviors. They are like true siblings by blood and have a strong bond. Berlin calls him "Brother Federal/Bruder Föderaliv(previously 'Little Federal')", while Germany calls her "Sister Berlin". The two of them often try and keep in Gilbert in check, although it doesn't always work. Eva thinks that Ludwig copies her since she's a bit older and acquired the typical German personality first than him, being strict and serious ends up making her treat him like her best friend and a little brother. However, Germany has a stronger and intense personality than her. She also trains with Germany almost every single day.

Everytime they train, Germany is always the drill sergeant. He asked her once to do push-ups as many as she wants, she did 56 push-ups without breaking a sweat. But when she did push-ups while lifting Germany's whole weight on her back, she only did like, 13 push-ups. According to her, Germany was way heavier than before when she remembered giving him a piggyback ride. One day, they tried to recall things that they did way back then and do it, Germany recalled his sister Berlin giving him a piggyback ride like what they always do, she ended up getting worried that she might collapse by the enormous weight of Germany. She did it, though she barely even walked while lifting him. She didn't want to do it again due to his huge muscles affecting his weight and in her point of view, he is a giant even if he's a few inches taller.

When the Berlin Wall was still erect, he and she are together stuck on the other side of the wall. She was still herself but miserable and lost interests in training.

Germany reminded her of Holy Roman Empire, all she needs that she just has to pretend that he is a small child with a different accent. She's been with Germany when he was 12-13 yrs. old and always giving him a piggyback ride(just mentioned before). They had many beer-drinking competitions(but fewer with Prussia) throughout her whole life, she mostly wins.

East Berlin
They're twins and they share the same interests like the Brothers Grimm, Beethoven and Franz Schubert. East Berlin calls her "Sister West", while she refers to him as "East" like how Prussia calls Germany "West". They are very close to each other, though his Sister West is annoyed by his behavior as she says that he is just like Prussia and she didn't even wonder why. They always get along with many things even when they were very young. They've been in many wars, such as the Franco-Prussian War, WWI and WWII. However, in the Cold War they couldn't work together due to the "Wall" that had constructed by East Germany, a.k.a. Prussia. The wall had surrounded West Berlin and she was getting desperate on seeing her twin brother, while on the other side, East Berlin, attempted to get through the wall but he failed so many times and he almost reached the point of giving up and cried like there is no hope.

Even after the demolishing of the Berlin Wall, she is still as annoyed as before by her twin brother because he still had that cocky behavior of his. They have this Prussia-and-Germany kind of relationship but they have stronger bonds due to the existence of the Berlin Wall. She even had a drinking contest with her twin brother almost every week. There was this time that she had a competition with all of her brothers against her and she still wins.

Italy
Both West Berlin and Italy are actually close to each other. She calls him "Ita-chan" while Italy calls her "manly-girl" or "Zelig" and she liked it. When Italy was a maid in Holy Roman Empire's house, Berlin paid a visit and thought Italy was a girl and called "her" cute. Then she finally found out he was a boy when Germany took Italy as his prisoner back in WWI by listening to his voice very carefully. She was shocked and she got over it after a few days. Italy considers her as his best friend, while Berlin just thinks that he's just a friend not a best friend. She wouldn't dare telling that to him, so she'll just act like a very best friend of Italy.

However, Italy's cowardly personality is causing her to be annoyed and irritated at serious situations. She is still fine with Italy. Back in WWII, she calls him a not-so-good and a good-for-nothing kind of ally and more verbal abuses that describes a coward. Italy called her mean and tyrannical once then she slapped him in the face then he started to fear her presence. They are still good friends because she likes how happy-go-lucky Italy is and she loves his pastas and pizzas, especially spaghetti as she is seen vigorously eating it.

They talked about Germany once. Italy thought he's a good friend and Berlin thought that Italy has fallen in love with Germany and that reminded her of Italy getting kissed by HRE when she was peeking.

Japan
During WWII, they helped each other fight against the Allied forces as they were the Axis powers. She describes him as an honorable and wise person which is true and Japan is happy for that. They shared opinions about Italy, though Japan is more patient with him.

She liked Japan as an ally because of his inventive and kind behavior, just like those ships he made and he cooked her the most tastiest miso ramen in her life. Impressed by his combat, she asked Japan to teach her karate and every martial art styles that he knows even using the katana. However, she never used those.

Austria
There are not much details about their relationship but she is seen visiting in HRE's house and noticed Austria emotionally playing his piano(he's feeling the piano, not crying over the piano). She tried to compliment his graceful music but she didn't want to interrupt him. All we know that she has a bunch of respect to Austria but they're still not that close, they're only acquaintances.
