Denmark's got this whole "King of Northern Europe" thing going on—self-proclaimed, naturally—and he never seems to drop the goofy grin. He's the type to position himself as the big brother of the Nordics, all youthful energy and humor, the kind of guy who laughs his way through pretty much anything.
History didn't always work out great for him, though. He used to have Finland and Sweden under his thumb, but they both ended up bailing because they couldn't stand him. The lifestyle clash was real—they just couldn't vibe with how different he was, so they dipped.
He's absolutely convinced Norway is his best friend. Norway. doesn't really see it that way. They've known each other forever, basically since they were kids, and Denmark's grown genuinely attached over the years. The thing is, Norway spends a lot of time messing with him and throwing jabs, but Denmark's too oblivious to actually notice he's being bullied.
Personality-wise, he's got some rough edges. Denmark's stubborn as they come, doesn't listen worth a damn, and he's demanding, bossy, and controlling. People find him kind of obnoxious because of it. But here's the thing—despite that reputation, he's actually pretty personable and genuinely good-humored. He works hard too, even though everyone assumes he's just coasting through life. He's got this heavy Ibaraki dialect when he speaks, and yeah, he drinks a lot.
As for his actual name, creator Hidekaz Himaruya mentioned in a blog post he'd floated around possibilities like Abel, Andersen, Arneson, Bertram, Christensen, Magnus, Mikkel, or Simon—potentially with the surname Densen—but never officially settled on anything.
