New Hampshire

New Hampshire (ニューハンプシャー, Nyūhanpushā) or Averi "Ava" Grant Collins (アベリ・グラント・コリンズ, Aberi Guranto Korinzu) is a fan-made character in Hetalia: Axis Powers. She represents the State of New Hampshire. She's often referred to as Hampshire or Hamp as a nickname.
==Appearance==
New Hampshire has shoulder-length, jet black hair with hazel eyes and light skin. She has a scar on her back from the Capture of Fort Williams and Mary and a scar on her stomach from the Battle of Carillon. Hampshire has a birthmark on her neck that represents Mount Washington and four birthmarks on the bridge of her nose and forehead that represents the Connecticut Lakes. She's often seen wearing a light purple sweater with leggings, Timberland boots, an ocean blue gemstone ring and a granite necklace.
==Personality and Interests==
New Hampshire is rather reserved and doesn't like to talk much. She's calm and collected, having a clear head most times. Though, she can get worked up, especially during times of unrest. She's a simple woman, appreciating the small things and likes to see people happy, even if she doesn't like them. A lot of people, particularly small children and average height women, are intimidated by her because of her height and stone face. Hampshire is not a person afraid to stand up for someone else and will protect them if necessary, though she usually avoids such situations.
She likes to see justice served and isn't a big fan of people trying to 'justify' their actions with 'reasons'. She's also quite passionate about her motto, "Live Free or Die". Hamp loves to be a helping hand and will spend hours helping someone, even a stranger. Hampshire doesn't like lies and hypocrisy, though she isn't one to point it out, likely because she doesn't want to start a fight. She is also disappointed when someone she knows doesn't tell he the truth, especially if it is someone she is close to.
She's not a big fan of taxes due to the low tax burdens in her state. She's very passionate about skiing and lacrosse. She thinks she is an expert at the two sports and will glare at someone if they say she isn't. She likes to walk forest trails and does it often with Monty or Maine and sometimes, both. She camps with them as well when they go camping.
She will sometimes drag Monty and Maine to Funspot, the world's largest video arcade, and her county fairs. Her favorite foods are pumpkin pie, steamed clams, pancakes and yogurt. Hampshire owns a Chinook named Maple.
==Relationships==
===Vermont (Monty S. Allen)===
Hamp and Monty have a strong bond. Hamp seems to enjoy her time with Monty and they are often seen with each other, stuck to each other like glue. It's known to be impossible to separate them unless they want to separate. They usually ski or hike in their mountains together. Monty was the one who got Hampshire into Ben & Jerry's and maple syrup. Monty eats them often, but Hampshire only eats them around Monty. When Hampshire got Maple, Hamp allowed Monty to name Maple. She should've known Monty would name Maple after maple syrup. When Hamp was a colony, Monty and Maine teamed up and taught her French. She is quite grateful for them teaching her.
===Maine (Ever M. Pelletier)===
Hampshire likes to hang out with Maine, but doesn't hang out with him often as Monty is usually with her. Hamp has learned tons of things from Maine like iceskating, fishing, French, including much more. She views Maine as an older brother and likes to learn more from. They usually walk through Maine's forests or they go hunting or fishing, when Maine does come over. They also watch horror movies or shows together.
=== Rhode Island (Ren H. Rhodes) ===
Although, Rhode is not her neighbor, Hampshire still enjoys hanging out with her. They like to talk about their passions, Rhode with her architecture and Hamp with her lacrosse and skiing. Rhode is one of the few people who actually listens to her when she talks about lacrosse or skiing. Hamp likes to bring Rhode on camping trips with her and in turn, Hampshire lets Rhode bring her out to the ocean. Hampshire was also surprised when Rhode Island wasn't afraid of her because of her height.
=== Connecticut (Minty C. Murphy Atwater) ===
When Hampshire was younger, she traveled the New England colonies, trying to find other colonies like her. During her adventures, she ended up in Hartford, the capital of the Connecticut Colony. There she met first Connie before any of her siblings. Throughout the Colonial Period, she followed Connie and her siblings around until she stopped. She later met Connie again when she became one of the Thirteen Colonies. Although, she's not a big fan of loud people, except for Monty, she tolerates Connie and sort of likes her. Though, she wouldn't talk to her on a regular basis.
===Massachusetts (Theo R. Sullivan Atwater)===
Hamp hates Mass. Mass loves to teases her about being in love with Monty or Maine. She hates his bragging about Harvard and his know-it-all attitude. She abhors his opinionated attitude and his tendency to tell people their wrong in their opinions. She thinks that Mass think his opinions are the only right ones as was shown to her during one argument with North New Jersey and him during the Revolution.
=== Maryland (Lisa M. Lindström) ===
Hampshire likes Maryland. When Mary asked for help with lacrosse, she was shocked. She had never had someone ask for her help with practicing lacrosse and jumped at the opportunity. Soon after, Hampshire developed a fondness for Mary. She liked her patience and motherly demenor. Hampshire doesn't like it when Mary drags her to museums, but she tolerants it.
===New York State (Brooke A. Verhoeven)===
Upstate and Hampshire argued a lot during the Colonial Era. Both of them thought that Monty belonged to them and fought over her for quite a time. It is unknown if there is any bitterness between the two because of it. Though, they seem to civil with each other. They don't talk often, but Upstate likes to show up at Hamp's house and talk with her for a bit from time to time.
===America (Alfred F. Jones)===
Hampshire respects and tolerates America's views and personality, but to say she doesn't get annoyed is an understatement. She really hates how loud he is and doesn't like how childish and immature the other is. She is glad America doesn't come over often and usually stays in Boston or New York instead of any of her cities. Though, it doesn't help that she's right above where he lives.
===Canada (Matthew Williams)===
She likes to hang out with Canada. They hang out with Monty and Maine often and they usually all sit in a park or walk a trail. She likes his quietness and kind heart. Though, despite her friendship with him, she forgets he is there sometimes and mistakes him for America. At least, it isn't as common with other states or countries.
===England (Arthur Kirkland)===
She never liked England. She found England weird and quite clingy. She did not understand how anyone liked him and usually ignored, which wasn't hard because all of his attention was on America, Massachusetts and Virgnia for the most of the Colonial Era, aside from the Revolution. Though, in recent years, England has been trying to connect with her. Hamp believes it is to get Mass or Upstate back and has not responded to any of his attempts.
