## Personality and Interests

Massachusetts has a sharp-tongue, speaks out of turn, swears like a sailor and is rather quiet. Mass has a hard time controlling his temper more so than any of his siblings. He can get easily angered, especially when driving. He's impatient and will start complaining about something taking forever. He's cocky and arrogant, bragging about his sports teams and Harvard, which ticks people off. However, he can be even more arrogant and egotistical when he's talking to people he doesn't like to piss them off. He's clever and takes pride in it, but it's also known that he is a Masshole. He acts like 'a know-it-all and is addicted to coffee like Upstate,' according to North Jersey. However, he will fiercely protect the people he cares about, but he doesn't show it often. Mass loves seafood and often cooks himself that 'looks like f\*\*cking sh\*t' according to both of the Jerseys.

He loves having clam chowder and lobster rolls, he usually goes to Maine to get them. He's a pretty good baseball player and loves to cheer for the Red Sox whenever they play, but loves all of the sports his state plays. Mass loves to debate with people and does a pretty good job at it, however, he has a difficult time debating with North Jersey. Mass likes to sail as a way to clear his head on a bad day where he does whale-watching. He's also into cross-country skiing and hunting. He likes the Boston Marathon, but rarely participates in it, usually just spectating. Mass is known for freaking out when being bossed around. He has a Boston terrier he named Forever after Maine's human nickname.

## Relationships

### Maine (Ever M. Pelletier)

Despite both of them being brothers and how close they are to each other, Maine and Mass are very distant with each other. Mass used to raise Maine and they lived together. According to Rhode, he seemed very upset when Maine declared that he was his own independent state. He got more aggressive and also more annoying. Today, they usually don't talk outside of meetings. However, Mass seems to want a better relationship between them.

### Connecticut (Minty C. Murphy)

Mass doesn't understand why Connie keeps trying to one-up him, even though, it's been proven multiple times that she's not good enough. He respects her effort and actually likes to challenge her, seeing what she can really do.

### Rhode Island (Ren R. Rhodes)

Rhode and Mass talk a lot, Mass talks to Rhode more than any of his other siblings. Usually, they sit at a small cafe and talk about whatever is on their mind. Mass enjoys Rhode's company.

### America (Alfred F. Jones)

Despite Massachusetts being one of the main points of Revolution, they're not very close. He doesn't seem to like America's childish behavior and attitude. In turn, America doesn't seem to like Mass' cocky and know-it-all attitude he gives everyone. Back during the Revolution, they were close as they both fought together for something they believed in. However, they separated over time. They can get along, but it's usually quick and brief talks.

### England (Arthur Kirkland)

Mass used to like England when he was younger, but after the Boston Massacre, they started to drift apart and argue. The final straw was when Mass dumped England's tea into the harbor and they finally stopped talking. Today, they still don't get along and England cannot help, but bring it up every time they're together. Which pisses Mass off to no end.
