Baltimore (*ボルチモア, Boruchimoa*) or Malinda "Mandy" Brandon Calvert (*マリンダ・ブランドン・カルバート, Marinda Burandon karubāto*) is a fan-made character in Hetalia: Axis Powers. She represents the second capital city of America and the most populous city in Maryland, Baltimore. She's often referred to as Balt as a nickname.

## Appearance

Baltimore has long blonde hair that's usually tied in a ponytail, that reaches her mid-back, light blue eyes and light tan skin. She has a bullet wound scar on her chest from the Baltimore Riot, a burn scar on her thigh from the Great Baltimore Fire and a scar on her waist from the Battle of Antietam. She has a birthmark on the right side of her body that represents the Patapsco River and a necklace with two red star-shaped gems, representing her being the second capital. Balt's usually seen in a light yellow blouse with a mid-thigh, high-waisted, black skater skirt, yellow stilettos and a copper key barrette that represents the Port of Baltimore to hold her hair in a half ponytail. She's also seen wearing a yellow tank top with a white jacket that hangs off her shoulders, red shorts and black sneakers.

## Personality and Interests

Baltimore is a nice and friendly woman, but still quite strict. With being a capital, she's known for being hard-working and a quick-thinker due to being a capital of a new nation during a Revolution. She abhors violence as she saw the Revolution as a young child and refuses to fight anyone unless it's necessary. Balt loves her family and likes to be over-protective of them, especially her younger sister, Anna. Balt's known for being cautious and staying on the tips of her toes. "It's like she's always worrying the British will break through the door everyday, she needs to relax," according to Anna. Baltimore's known for always eating crab cakes, lake trout and soft crab sandwiches. She's also seen drinking Natty Boh sometimes. As being a leading gateway for Germans to come into the country in the 1800s, Balt can speak German quite well and has taken a liking to sauerkraut. Balt loves Berger Cookies and buys them for her sister, D.C, as a treat.

She also buys Goetze's Candies and lemon peppermint sticks as a treat for her too. She loves going to bull and oyster roasts, usually taking her sisters or mother to them. She loves going to museums with her mother and loves to listen to music. She usually listens to her mother's recommendations if she does recommend things. Like her mother, she loves jousting and is a pretty good lacrosse player and can beat her mother even on her mother's best day. Balt's also known for cheering for her sports teams and will argue with anyone about it. Baltimore has two blue crabs she named Aurora and Cara after her two younger sisters. She has a Chesapeake Bay retriever named Cecil.

## Relationships

### Maryland (Lisa M. Wilson)

Baltimore loves her mother and believes she gained a lot of her personality from her mother. When Mary got her a dog, she named it Cecil after where her namesake came from.

### Annapolis (Anna A. Taylor)

Anna and Balt have a good relationship with each other. They love to play lacrosse even if Anna isn't a good lacrosse player and is easy to beat. Balt was worried about Anna when she became capital even though it was after the Revolution. She became over-protective and didn't stop until Anna screamed at her to stop which led to a massive fight. They've recovered for that, but Anna still gets mad when Balt becomes even a slight protective of her or D.C

### Washington D.C (Cara C. Edwards)

Balt rarely sees D.C as she's busy with the nation's dealings, even so, Balt loves her sister. Balt was the one to teach her how to become a capital and tried her best to ease her little sister, at the time, a small child, into the job. D.C appreciates that Balt tried her best to help her and that she protected her when England showed up at their doorstep.

### North and South Delaware (Evan and Lennie D. Watson)

Baltimore loves her uncle and aunt and loves to give them her treats. Balt appreciates that North can be strict and serious when he needs to, but thinks that he could relax a bit.

Balt loves South's energetic and fun nature, but can be known for being annoyed by her sometimes. Balt loves to have a drink with South on occasion.

### America (Alfred F. Jones)

Balt and America don't talk as much as they used to. They used to chat nearly everyday back during the Revolution and America would side with Balt and her plans. Nowadays, they don't talk and when they do, it's usually very dry.
