Illinois

Illinois (イリノイ州, Irinoi-shū) or Kathleen "Kathy" Riley Moore Charbonnier (キャスリーン・ライリー・ムーア・シャルボニエ, Kyasurīn rairī mūa sharubonie) is a fan-made character in Hetalia: Axis Powers. She represents the State of Illinois. She's often referred to as Illie as a nickname.
==Appearance==
Illinois has long dirty blonde, nearly brown, hair with dark blue eyes and light skin. She has a burn scar on her neck from the Great Chicago Fire, a strand of hair poking out from the rest that represents Chicago and a blue ribbon that represents the Illinois River. Illie usually wears a sweatshirt with a jacket, leggings, boots and a red bobble hat with pom-poms at the end. Her hair is usually tied into a bun or ponytail by with the blue ribboon.
==Personality and Interests==
Quiet and stoic, Illinois would much rather sleep the day away instead of deal with her neighbors. She finds dealing with her neighbors or people in general feels like an arduous task she would much rather avoid. Though, behind this calm and collected demeanor, she has a fiery temper that can easily be ignited. Having a short and quick fuse, she also hates being pushed around or taken advantage of, leading to her already short fuse to be even shorter.
Illie also dislikes anyone invades her personal space and will become fiercely protective. Her intolerance for invasions of her personal space is matched by her passion in her sports teams. Her unwavering loyalty and support for her teams is evident in her reactions and passionate defense of their honor, especially when they have a bad game.
Illie is known for her commitment when it comes to her ambitions. Once she sets her mind to it, there is no way to get her to back down. She is not deterred by setbacks or obstacles and takes them as opportunities for learning and growth. In her pursuit, she is willing to sacrifice her own leisure time and even personal relationships to ensure she stays on track. It is also known that Illie loves a good challenge every now and then from her neighbors.
In her free time, if she does get any, she usually sits around, watching sports on the TV or reading a newspaper or magazine. She'll listen to the news every now and then, but usually relies on her younger sister to tell her the news. She'll also go golfing or lounge at one of her state parks.
==Relationships==
===Indiana (Dan C. White Charbonnier)===
Due to her commitment to her ambitions, she doesn't spend a lot of time with her older brother. Though, this isn't really a problem since Indiana doesn't really visit her often, something she is quite pleased about. Despite not seeing or hearing from him a lot, Illinois is fond of him. She'll invite him around sometimes and have him watch sports with him. Though Indie isn't a big fan of sports, he'll stick for the motorsports.
===Ohio (Heidi M. Columbus)===
Illinois isn't a huge fan of her little sister and her overly cheerful personality. She dislikes when Ohio intrudes in her personal space, something that happens a lot, and her stupid nicknames she has for Illie. The only reason why Illinois hasn't blocked her number or ban her from her house is because Ohio provides her with all the recent news, such as drama between states and countries.
===Michigan (Cody C. Schneider)===
Unlike most of her neighbors, Illinois is actually good friends with Michigan. They share a passion for sports and chat about their ambitions. She spends more time with Mich than her siblings as Illie feels that Mich is the one who actually gets her and her perspective. They push and motivate each other to achieve their aspirations so they can spend more time together. However, there is only one Illie can't wrap her head around with Mich and it's his snappish behavior when it comes to touching his stuff and why only Minne and his triplets can only touch his stuff with him hawkish watching over them.
===Wisconsin (Maddie C. Schneider Charbonnier)===
Since being good friends with Michigan, Illinois has to deal with his annoying triplet, Wisconsin. Illie doesn't treat Wisconsin as poorly as Ohio, but she treats him with the bare minimum. The only reason she doesn't boot him to the streets when he shows up inebriated is because she doesn't want to sour her relationship with Mich.
===America (Alfred F. Jones)===
As Chicago is a large and popular city in her state, America often visits. Despite this, Illinois rarely talks to him and just ignores him. The only time she'll talk to him is if he can help with her aspirations. America doesn't invade her personal space as much as Ohio because he rather not get his eye poked out by a pencil every time he shows up unannounced.
