"Chaos knows no sides"

**Florida** is a main character in the Welcome to the Table series, first appearing in "DC Calls a Meeting and Florida Comes".

## Personality

Florida is the master of chaos. Always showing up with the sole plan to ruin Gov's day, he is always looking to spin the meeting into anarchy, whether it's through snarky remarks or jokes throwing everything off track. He knows how to call everyone because everyone inevitably moves to Florida, and believes the COVID-19 pandemic is only a tropical storm and never seems to care.

## Outfits

Florida's outfit has generally stayed the same, with a few differences. His first outfit was a yellow tank top with a grey outline, and grey pocket. Along with this, he had a flamingo pattern bucket hat and American flag sunglasses. The tank top would later be changed to a grey-pinkish tank top, only with a blue checker pattern in the middle and a black outline.

### Alternate Outfits

In "The Night Before Christmas in Florida", Florida wore Christmas-themed pajamas, with a flamingo pattern pajama hat representing his regular bucket hat, and a sweater showcasing palm trees and flamingos on the sleeves, and a flamingo in the sun with sunglasses on.

## Relationships

Because Florida knows how to call every state, he tends to make friends easily, while also making several enemies.

### Friends

#### **Louisiana**

Florida and Louisiana are best friends forever, primarily due to both having similar personalities, both being chaotic and both being for fun over order.

#### **Government**

This is primarily one-sided, because Florida enjoys the Gov's company solely to ruin Gov's day, whereas Gov hates him for obvious reasons. Gov constantly is trying to either stop his chaos or calm it, before practically giving up completely.

#### **Colorado**

Colorado is similar to Florida personality wise, only due to Colorado being high nearly all the time.

#### **Alaska**

Florida finds Alaska mysterious and interesting, and therefore has a positive perception of him. Though they do tend to argue about who's state is more dangerous.

#### **Michigan**

Florida and Michigan are on generally positive terms, although they don't usually interact.

#### **North Dakota**

Florida and North Dakota primarily bonded in Election Sketch, where Florida offered advice on electing a dead guy to Congress.

#### **Maryland**

Florida and Maryland are buddies, mainly due to both having interest in fun over order.

#### **Wisconsin**

Florida and Wisconsin are drinking buddies, especially due to their general chaotic behavior.

#### **South Dakota**

South Dakota's relationship with Florida is similar to nearly all of Florida's other friendships, mainly based on their love for chaos.

#### **Texas**

Florida is friends with Texas sometimes, however Texas doesn't seem to like Florida that much.

#### **Oregon**

Florida primarily became friends with Oregon, solely based on Oregon's drive-thru strip club in Weekly News Recap 5/15.

#### **Georgia**

Georgia's normal mugginess and Florida's chaotic attitude surprisingly go well, as both seem to be close, despite their real-life state rivalry.

#### **New York**

Florida and New York are decent friends, primarily because of New York's loud attitude.

#### **New Mexico**

Florida and New Mexico bonded due to Florida's interest in New Mexico and Area 51.

### Enemies

#### **Connecticut**

Florida views Connecticut as boring and unremarkable, to Connecticut's major hatred.

#### **Indiana**

Similar to Connecticut, Florida is bored by Indiana, and annoyed by everything Indiana says.

#### **Utah**

Florida's mortal enemy would most likely be Utah, as Florida consistently inquires about Utah's 4 wives, and rolls his eyes at everything Utah says, especially his heavy religiousness.

#### **North Carolina**

Florida and North Carolina bicker a lot, mostly because of residents living in North Carolina moved from Florida due to Florida being a terrible state to live in.

#### **California**

Mostly based on teasing and mocking, and California disliking the chaos of Florida, California has a rough relationship with Florida. It isn't a major rivalry, as this only happens occasionally.

### Parental Relationships

#### Spain

In the episode 'Table News: Bags... on Ice!', Florida implies that Spain is his mother.
