Mississippi (State)

Mississippi (ミシシッピ州, Mishishippi-shū) is a fan-made character in Hetalia: Axis Powers. She represents the State of Mississippi. Her human name is Amelie LaSalle-Jones (アメリ・ラサール・ジョーンズ, Ameri rasāru jōnzu).

Appearance
Mississippi is a young lady with a slim frame, and has very long, dark, beautiful wavy hair, light brown skin, and brown eyes. Mississippi is very modest in her attire, and despite her young age, she dresses in a very old-fashioned Southern style. Her favorite outfit to wear on a hot summer day is a bright sundress along with a sunhat.

Personality
Mississippi is a polite, well mannered, and soft-spoken woman. While introverted, Mississippi is still gifted with a certain social grace, most likely due to her upbringing with France. She has had a rough past and had to work hard for most of her life, and sometimes struggles to make ends meet, but truly she would love nothing more than to take it easy and spend her days tending to her garden.

As with many of the Southern states, stubbornness seems to be an overarching personality trait, and Mississippi is no exception. Mississippi is normally non-confrontational, though despite her honey-tongued demeanor, Mississippi holds strong convictions, and displays a soft yet stern passion when defending them. Mississippi can sometimes be a bit dense and stuck in her ways, however. She is also deeply religious and takes great pride in her faith.

Mississippi loves music, particularly jazz, gospel, and rock and roll. Her favorite pastimes include singing, strolling through her garden, and relaxing on a breezy summer day. Mississippi is a very talented singer, though due to her quiet nature, many of the states are unaware of this fact, and have never heard her sing.

Relationships
Alabama (Todd W. Jones)

Despite their proximity and the fact that they are siblings, Alabama and Mississippi don't get along all the time. Alabama won't hesitate to shove her under the bus in order to make himself look better. A catchphrase of Alabama's is "Thank God For Mississippi!", a saying that understandably gets under her skin.

Louisiana (Ava J. Jones)

Mississippi and Louisiana share a kind of sisterly relationship, and Louisiana is often the first person Miss will turn to when she's troubled. Louisiana is among the few people to have gotten truly close to Miss, and the pair loves to sing old hymns and spirituals together.

France

Her memories of living with France are rather hazy and dreamlike now, but she remembers well the mannerisms he imparted on her that have stuck with Miss to the present day. She always looks forward to visiting him in Paris along with Louisiana each summer.

America

Mississippi is generally content with living with America, though she can't help but feel that he sees her as an embarrassment due to her state's economic troubles. She brings up the fact that she's often "forgotten" during meetings as proof of this (and the fact that, according to her, she can "read people") but America always counters that he's got "fifty people to manage" and he can't always "remember 'em all." Mississippi remains unconvinced.
