## Appearance

North Dakota has shoulder-length black hair with green eyes and pale skin. She has a birthmark on the back of her knee that represents White Butte, a ring that represents Theodore Roosevelt National Park, a birthmark on her back that represents the Killdeer Mountains and a birthmark on her thigh that travels up to her stomach that represents the James River. Dak usually wears a green blouse with a grey knee-length skirt, a black cardigan and black Mary Jane platform heels. She's also seen wearing a black blouse with flared sleeves, a blue circle skirt that reaches her knees and black and blue kitten heels and her hair tied into a mini braid.

## Personality and Interests

North Dakota's a reserved and quiet young girl compared to her twin. She's level headed and, like her sister, quite smart. Dak tends to not speak, usually lost in thought and is soft-spoken. She's known for hating her sister's pranks and tells her to stop. Unfortunately, she doesn't listen and keeps doing it anyway. It's known that it's extremely hard to make North yell at you, she normally just tells you to stop. Like her twin, she doesn't want to appear dull and unappealing in the eyes of others.

She tries her hardest to make her state seem better than her sister, but normally it doesn't work for both of them. Dak loves indie rock music, skiing, hunting, fishing and ice fishing. She usually hunts with Monty as she doesn't like Kota. Monty also got Dak in love with snowmobiling and they usually do it together. Her favorite foods are Walleye, Knoephla, Kuchen, Summer sausage, Raspeball, fry bread tacos and chokeberries. Dak has a Nokota horse named Peace.

## Relationships

### South Dakota (Emmy P. Carlson)

Despite being twins, they can't be more different. South's loud and reckless personality can get on North's nerves, but she doesn't show it as she’s quite used to it as they shared the same house once. She hates her sister's pranks and has told her not to do them anymore. However, she didn't listen. South hates that she has to introduce her twin to others most of the time as North's staring off into space. However, North loves that South reads aloud to others as she likes to listen to her voice. Despite absolutely hating each other, they love each other and they would be lost without each other.

### Montana (Naddie H. Rogers)

Dak loves doing activities with Monty as she doesn't have to hang out with her sister. Monty's quite fond of Dak, usually inviting her over to do things such as snowmobile or ski together. Despite being neighbors, they don't see each other as Dak doesn't like how cold Montana can get. Since they both like chokeberries, whenever Dak comes over, Monty has some chokeberry jam, wine and pie ready for the both of them.

### America (Alfred F. Jones)

Like her twin, America forgets she's there a lot more often than he does with Kota. However, Dak doesn't mind. Since she doesn't like her twin's personality and America's quite similar to her twin, she doesn't mind that America doesn't come over. If she's being honest, she won't want America to come over at all.
