Maryland (Nyo/F)

Maryland is a Fan-made character of the Hetalia World Series.

She represents the 7th state owned by the U.S., one of the oldest members of America's "family" she is part of the Contiguous United States. She has been given the human name Maria when she was founded by England. She has no wish to change her name but has changed her last name from Kirkland to Pickersgill. She decided not to take America's last name due to her rebellious nature.


 * Note: I have only ever visited Maryland a few times so I am making this based off of what history says, experience in Maryland, and a bit of the fandom.

Appearance
Maryland has long wavy Sandy Blonde hair usually with one-third in a bow and two-thirds down. She has one strand of hair that always pops out in represents her rivers such as the Susquehanna River. Her favorite blue bow she wears whenever she wants to impress or keep her hair back to work represents her Harbors and Bays like Chesapeake Bay or National Harbor. Since she is very close to America she looks a lot like him. She has his skin tone although she gets very pale due to the many days throughout the winter months where it is usually overcast, snowing, and raining. Her eyes used to be more of a mix between green, blue, and gray, but now they have lost the green touch to them. When she was younger she wore whatever was in fashion at the time and the same goes for now. Back then in warmer weather she would wear a blue dress that stops at her ankles with white lace trimming around the top that marked the beginning of the white button up she wore underneath the dress. Now, in warmer weather she wears a white button up shirt with lace trim, a knee length blue skirt, and black leggings. Since, she is far-sighted she wears glasses with black rims. In cold weather she wears multiple layers of sweaters, pants, and coats no matter what.

When she was younger her hair was down to her shoulders usually up in a bonnet or in bows. She would wear a corset underneath a waistcoat fitted and made of heavy cotton or wool. Beneath the corset and waistcoat, she wore one or more petticoats, which provided warmth in cold weather. Finally, she wore stockings held up by garters. This was was done so she could resemble her name sake Queen Henrietta Maria.

Personality
Maryland has a calm well rounded exterior. However, she is very capable of being able to stab you in the back
