North Carolina

Notes
-Twin to South Carolina. Big Sister to Tennessee.
-Comes across as being harsh when talking to others, but is quite protective and cares deeply about her siblings even though she doesn't always know how to show it. (South Carolina is more understanding of this and is pretty harsh herself, but this has caused missunderstandings and tension between her and Tennessee in the past.) Kind of has a stern, steel magnolia personality.
-Is actually extremely kind and compassionate. Far more gentle than her twin and is very similar to Tennessee in kindness levels. Just has more trouble showing it.
-Used to base most economy on tobacco and furniture, but is starting to focus more on engineering, biotechnology and finance. (check this)
-Originally lived with her twin, South Carolina, but their leaders couldn't get along and they split into two seperate colonies.
-Former pirate. She was home to many famous pirates during the Golden Age of Pirates. (Blackbeard being the most famous) North Carolina turned a blind eye to their activities and participated in business with them because they sold their stolen supplies to her for cheaper prices than British traders. She didn't mind that the pirates started to harass South Carolina and even encouraged it. North Carolina harassed her sister using pirating methods.
-North Carolina was jealous that South Carolina got so much attention and was popular when they were little. She felt lonely because most people wanted to colonize around her little sister instead of her. Her personality hardened because of these feelings and it's one of the reasons she has trouble getting along with others.
-North Carolina is a very strong warrior. She's not quite as impulsive and likely to run off on an adventure as other southerners, but she can put some serious hurt on when she's motivated to fight.
-Good friends with Virginia and respects the older state very much. Sometimes she goes to Virginia for advice on how to be a good big sister or other things that she's worried about. North Carolina is also a good listener.
-Gets frustrated with South Carolina, but she's protective of her sister and they are always quick to support each other even though their rivalries are feirce.
-In WWI and WWII she was part of the 30th Infantry Division known as the "Old Hickory" division. She was the 119th and 120th Infantry Regiments in both wars. In WWI she, Tennessee (117th) and South Carolina (118th) fought together and helped break the Hindenburg line. During WWII the 30th was initially composed of her, Tennessee(117th), South Carolina (118th) and Georgia (121st) but both South Carolina and Georgia were sent to different areas when deployed. So she and Tennessee made up the 30th Infantry Division. They were instrumental during the war and considered by the Germans as "Roosevelt's SS Troops." They were later honored as the most impressive infantry division in the European theater. (Exact quote/info is on TN's page currently.)
