In older notes by Himaruya (circa 2007), it is mentioned that he originally considered making a male Hungary character, who was "unthinkably perverted" and, before that, originally pretending to be a girl. In the end, he decided to make Hungary the first female character of the series while Poland (who was originally planned to be female) became a cross-dressing male instead. The male version of Hungary was later used as the basis for Lithuania's design and appears to be used for Hungary's Nyotalia design as well. Himaruya also initially planned a female Hungary who was more snide and "witchy," describing her as hot-tempered to the point where she would shoot people with arrows if they thought she was a guy. Hungary was actually the first nation to be designed, according to Hetalia: Axis Powers Volume 3's special booklet, the "witchy" woman design recycled from a Hungarian witch character in a scrapped "hero in New York" series that would be replaced by the idea of Hetalia.
