## Personality and Interests

North Carolina is rather calm and quiet. Being considered the lesser twin in the Colonial Era, he's worked hard to build a better name in Modern times. Like South, he thinks he's better than South and says it to his face. He's rather laid-back and nonchalant. He's deeply caring and loving towards people he cares about. North's known for keeping things simple, he's been told he gets it from Virginia. However, he doesn't think so. As being one of the Southern states, he's quite stubborn and will maintain his stance to the end of the world. He has a hard time making decisions under stress and pressure.

One of North Carolina's passions is aviation as North Carolina invented the airplane. He has a passion for basketball and plays it with Georgia often. He loves to hike or just sit in the mountains until sunset, where he watches the sun set. If he doesn't wanna go on the mountains, then he'll usually be on his or Virginia's beaches, watching the ocean. North has a habit of vanishing out of thin air, reminiscent of Roanoke. He loves his barbecue, however, he can't decide between Lexington and Eastern barbecue. He does go to the Lexington Barbecue Festival. He also likes cheerwine, sweet potato pie, jazz music and adores Carowinds.

## Relationships

### South Carolina (Luke C. Campbell)

North wishes that South doesn't throw him under the bus for being the cause of the Civil War, even if everyone knows that it's not true. He wishes the two of them were close, but it's hard to keep wishing that when they keep fighting about the Civil War and who owns Carowinds. North wishes that he had fought harder to not fall into the Confederacy.

### Georgia (Gavin G. Howard)

North adores Georgia because they don't argue. North can get quite annoyed with Geo and South's arguing and tries to separate them as he usually doesn't bring them both to the same activities. They both like to hike, rock climb and stay in the Great Smoky Mountains.

### Virginia (Vinny E. Jefferson)

The two have a good relationship. North usually goes to Virginia's beaches to chill because, in his words, "Virginia has nice beaches". He usually likes to call Virginia "Mama" as a joke like the other 13.

### East Tennessee (Eliza E. Jackson)

They usually walk and hunt together in the Smoky Mountains. North likes East's music and listens to it frequently, however, he's never told her music is great to her face.

### America (Alfred F. Jones)

America forgives North for the Civil War and defends him against his own twin. They rarely hang out, but when they do, they usually do it in the Smoky Mountains or one of Virginia's beaches.

### England (Arthur Kirkland)

They rarely talk, but North forgives and excuses his siblings' behavior during the Revolution.
