Description I've been drawing a lot of State OC's lately, so here you go, the original thirteen colonies of America as I envision them.

Going from the bottom and working our way to the top:

Row One:
Delaware: He tends to put people to sleep when he talks. Boring, mild-mannered, and with a fondness for cardigan sweaters, he tends to be pushed aside.
Virginia: The "mother" of the states. She's a lover, not a fighter, and she's all about history, sometimes to the point of being nostalgic. A rather plain-looking girl, but nice, so very nice.
Massachusetts: Somewhat of a rebel, though you couldn't tell under all his Ivy League garb. Used to be paranoid about witchcraft, but now actively uses it. Under no circumstances should he be allowed to drive or be served tea. His kitty's name is Morgan.
Row Two:
North Carolina: A genius who sometimes works herself to exhaustion, causing her to sleep at odd hours. Sometimes she'll sleep through important things, leaving her out of the loop. When she's awake, she's very spacey.
New York: An irritable guy with some questionable...connections. Often loud-mouthed or in a hurry. His crankiness is attributed to the fact that he rarely sleeps. Regardless of his personality, he always manages to be the go to guy for information.
Pennsylvania: A good natured guy. He often finds himself being the voice of reason. He is very blunt, and realistic as well.
South Carolina: Your average hard-core Marine. Proud of her country, protective of her fellow states, and not afraid to dish out the pain. She intimidates the other states, except for her twin who always knows how to calm her down.
Row Three:
New Jersey:
A foul tempered girl who can either be a lot of fun or a lot of trouble. She's aware of her bad reputation, and tries her best to improve it, but she just can't help being, well, New Jersey. Oh, and don't make fun of her accent.
Georgia: A sweet southern belle in Daisy Dukes. She's all about southern hospitality and good ol' fashioned southern cuisine. She also has a fondness for the fine arts, and is a little offended when this surprises people.
Rhode Island: One of the shorter states, and often mistaken as being younger. His driving skills rival Massachusetts for being the worst in the states, if not the world. He's very sarcastic and a pain in the neck if he doesn't have his morning coffee.
Row Four:
Connecticut:
A nice, quiet guy. He likes the ocean and is good with his money (for the most part). Rumor has it that he and Massachusetts have a thing for each other, but it has yet to be confirmed. He is very close with the other states of New England.
New Hampshire: A hard-working, independent individual. He's very simple, not needing much to make him happy. He usually keeps to himself.
Row Five:
Maryland:
Smart girl who always has her nose in a book. She likes science, and is always researching, this causes her to be very awkward in social situations. She knows biology and chemistry, not people.

I'm very proud of this work. I've never taken longer on anything. I hope y'all like it as much as I do ^^

APH is not mine.
These State OC's belong to me.

'bout VA from a native Virginian yes we are lovers as long as you don't piss us off 'cause you know we DO have the military installations in the USA (the idiot who's writing this comment may or may not be right, but she will get correct herself if she's wrong)

oh yeah for all of the installations here up in northern VA you might as well call North VA a military installation itself but that might make non military personal pissy

This is awesome!
New York sounds completely right! (I am a New Yorker.) New Yorkers are the crankiest of the bunch.

MA's kitty is named Morgan? Is his horse named Tabby. (Morgan Horse and Tabby cat are both official state animals of MA, along with the Boston terrier and Right whale.)

Quite honestly, I didn't know that The kitty's name is Morgan after Morgan le Fay, the sorceress from Arthurian legend. MA's had a love/hate relationship with witchcraft over the years, and this little black kitty's been following him around since day one, causing most of his paranoia during his witch trial days (he was already superstitious to begin with, add on the fact that a symbol of bad luck and witchcraft was following him around and...well... XD).

But that's interesting! I didn't really look into state symbols for him...I guess you learn something new every day ^^

All the states have lots of symbols. MA is the only one with an official horse.
MA also has a state insect: ladybug. Lots of the other states do to (I think CT has the honeybee).

State flag, flower, bird. Every state has those.
Also: state beverage, state food, state dessert, state fossil... the lists go on and on. But MA is one of the very few with an official state cat AND a state dog. Yeah, he likes them both.

I was aware that they all had state symbols, multiple in fact. I just didn't look into them. I focused more on what industries they had, their demographics, their roles in history, the stereotypes that are associated with people from that state/area, etc.

Fetch26291 In reply to Jetsir [2011-08-20 17:11:30 +0000 UTC]

That very good to do to. For MA and his New England siblings, ships were the big thing up until the Industrial Revolution. Then, textile factories were where the money was. These days, computers and biotech are where to go. Oh, and of course New England, MA in particular, has TONS of colleges and universities. No dummies, that bunch.

Oh, and for any of you wondering why Maine isn't here: Maine was part of Massachusetts until 1820. New Hampshire was happy that day. (NH: Finally. I don't have to babysit him anymore when Mass is off doing stuff.)

You really know a lot about New England ^^ Are you from there? Or are you just a history buff? Both?

Also, do you know if there's any truth to parts of Maine at some time making it illegal to make clam chowder using tomatoes???

Fetch26291 In reply to Jetsir [2011-08-20 20:52:55 +0000 UTC]

I'm from Massachusetts, and a bit of a history buff.

It almost was made illegal in Maine and also in Massachusetts back in 1939, but the law failed to pass in both states.

Oh, and even though the tomato based one is called Manhattan, it was created in RHODE ISLAND. So why is it called Manhattan? Because, at the time in New England, labeling something as 'from New York' was the biggest insult you could give a product.

Hmm, interesting. They must've been super hardcore about their chowder. XD

lol It's so interesting to see how the different regions view each other.
