Personality and Interests
New York State is more of a business type character with a rather rude attitude. Like her son, she has a softer side, but rarely shows it. She can be quite cold and irritable. She has a hard time expressing her emotions and can come off as emotionless. Despite her loud voice, she's rather laid-backed and a chill young woman. She loathes being confused for her son, something that happens so often that she doesn't bother to correct anyone. Upstate seems to inherit more of Netherlands' business skills than NYC. Though financially successful, she's often pinned down by work. New York loves nature and takes any chance she gets to run back to her home far upstate. Upstate holds herself confidently and boasts to others about her success, even if she means well. New York loves her privacy and personal space, having a tendency to push people away who get in her space.

She's very organized and loves to plan things before she goes out. She always appears to be in a hurry and talks very fast. She's a very hard-working young woman and usually doesn't get rest because of it. Though, she can get greedy and become egotistical sometimes. Upstate has a passion for the arts. She's also a very skilled writer, having published a few books and very skilled in the arts, especially painting. Her favorite genre is horror, mystery and sometimes, she reads poetry. New York doesn't visit NYC often and only does so to visit her son. Upstate doesn't like tourists and usually visits her son after tourist season. She loves when people mind their own business and usually get into fights with people who can't mind their own business. Upstate is a fan of sports and loves to watch them on TV or play them with her younger brothers.

New York City (Brookie Y. Hudson)
Downstate is her son. They treat each other with respect, but they do get into fights every now and then. They do work with each other from time to time. NYC's personality can get on New York's nerves and she can't stand when people mix them up. Though, she does love her son and wouldn't know what to do without him.

North and South Jersey (Mike and Nicky J. Mitchell)
North is Yorkie's younger brother and they bond well. They are both hard-working and share their love for the arts, though North is better at singing than her. York loves to talk to North as he just listens to her rant about anything. North tolerates New York, but doesn't really like her. Like NYC, York doesn't understand how North can tolerate such a person. She can tolerate South more than NYC, but she does yell at him for being too loud. Sometimes, New York just throws a right hook at him, but is stopped by North.

Connecticut (Minty C. Murphy)
New York finds Connie annoying with her constant worrying about everyone. She swears she's going to yell at Connie for calling her in the middle of her meetings. They've sorted things now, but it still irritates York that she has calls twice a day from Connie. However, she won't hear it is a nice break from the business calls she constantly gets.

Pennsylvania (Will P. Penn)
New York and Penny have always been close. York finds herself unable to spend lengthy amounts of time with him, but enjoys the calls she gets from him every now and then.

Maine
New York finds it a bit difficult to tolerate the New England states, aside from Maine. They don't talk much, but they do go on hikes whenever New York is free and they appreciate each other's company. Like North, New York loves Maine's calm and quiet nature.

America (Alfred F. Jones)
York is usually too busy to spend time with America, though America has sought advice from her before. America trusts York to trade and negotiate with the other countries in place of him.

Netherlands
She lived with the Netherlands under the name 'New Netherlands' with North, Connecticut, North Del, Maryland and NYC. She caught more of the Netherlands' sharp business senses than NYC, having an easier time to trade and negotiate with others.

England (Arthur Kirkland)
New York tolerates England, but never seemed to like him. After England captured her, she refused to do what England wanted and ran away. She came out of hiding when the Revolution was over and came back to her siblings. To this day, she avoids England as much as possible.
