Columbia (Memetic)

Columbia is the Memetic Being representative of all of the New World, or at least she was. Columbia, a feminization of the name Columbus, was a memetic created by Europeans during the age of exploration in North America to represent the New World itself. 
== Facts: ==
-Originally, Columbia represented ALL of the Americas, but then she was restricted to just North America. Eventually, even this designation was shortened further, until she represented just the United States. 
-Columbia is often pictured as a woman of light-skin color and with long, usually blond or brunette hair color. She is a creature of compassion, championing immigrants and natives alike, always seeking to see the people united rather than at war with each other. 
-Columbia is considered to be the first Memetic associated with the nascent Sons of Liberty. She was, technically, preceded by the Amerindian Princess but the princess is a Memetic born from the Native American tribes long before the birth of the SoL. 
-Columbia often materializes as a young woman of robust health, clad in a classical-style dress fashioned from one of the flags of the nations of the New World (usually the red, white and blue of the US flag). She often wears a Phrygian Cap, an ancient Roman symbol of freedom and liberation. 
-Today, the premier Memetics of the SoL are Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty. However, this isn't to say that Columbia has been left by the wayside. Many grassroots news organizations and freelance journalists working within the SoL still traffic with Columbia, and she frequently acts as a mentor and friend to young and rising members of the Order of Heralds within the Americas.
