North Carolina

North Carolina (ノースカロライナ州, Nōsukaroraina shū) is a fan-made character in Hetalia: Axis Powers. She represents the state of North Carolina. Her human name is Olivia Clark-Jones (オリビア・クラーク・ジョーンズ, Oribia kurāku jōnzu).

She made her debut appearance in The World is Ugly by Harley Marie.

Appearance
North Carolina appears as a young woman with light skin, shoulder-length brown hair, and blueish gray eyes. She wears a uniform with a vintage aviator jacket, which she borrowed from America during WWII and has since forgotten to return. She has a cross on her belt buckle, which represents North Carolina's place as a "buckle in the Bible Belt." She also has a scar across her upper left arm, a result of the Civil War, though it is very faint.

North Carolina has a birthmark, which she claims is very "odd looking." However, nobody else has ever seen it, and she herself can't even find it anymore.



Personality
North Carolina is, unlike her sister South Carolina, rather calm, if not a bit aloof sometimes. She is blunt and open about her opinions, however she can be interpreted as "lacking a filter." She tends to employ deadpan, dry, or snarky humor. Deep down she is kind and good-natured, caring deeply for the people she calls her family, and is a person of tranquil fury when angered. North Carolina likes to keep things simple and to the point, preferring to just "get it done," even at the expense of her fully reckoning with the consequences.

One of her passions is aviation. She has been fascinated by planes ever since the first heavier-than-air flight took place in her own backyard in 1903. In her spare time, North Carolina enjoys hunting and hiking in the Appalachian Mountains, and also loves collecting and building model airplanes. Though she is well educated, she is secretly insecure about being perceived as a "hick," and masks her accent around the bigger, more influential states.

Relationships


South Carolina (Marion Harris-Jones): North Carolina shares a strong, nearly inseparable bond with her sister, South Carolina, even though the two have starkly opposing personalities. They are almost always seen together, though North has started to regret the pair being considered one and the same by outsiders. South Carolina enjoys teasing North, so in return North Carolina has brought South along for hiking trips just to watch her freak out over insects.

Georgia (Zachary Jacobs-Jones): If there's anyone as close to North Carolina as her sister is, it's probably Georgia. They both have a fondness for the outdoors and can sometimes be found relaxing together under a starry night sky for hours without saying a word.

Ohio (Carter E. Schmidt-Jones): North Carolina finds Ohio to be a bit peculiar, though she means that in the best way possible. She gained respect for him when they both worked on the first successful aircraft together at Kitty-Hawk, though she still teasingly refers to him as "Yank" every time she sees him.

Louisiana (Ava J. Boudreaux-Jones): Louisiana and North Carolina both are believers in the supernatural. They have bonded over this surprisingly well and have grown to be friends.

Tennessee (Evelyn R. Jones): Tennessee has somehow become North Carolina's unofficial hunting buddy after taking multiple trips together, though they usually end up bickering over who caught the biggest 'what.' North Carolina particularly enjoys Tennessee's music and frequently asks to borrow her old records.

Virginia (Alexandria C. Northam-Jones): North Carolina gets pretty frustrated with how bossy Virginia can be, so she avoids her when she can, but she always remarks that she's "got nice beaches at least, so she's got that goin' for her, which is nice, I guess."

East Cherokee: East Cherokee lives in North Carolina's home, on his ancestral lands in the Appalachian Mountains. He is still deeply resentful of both America and North for their past actions, and for having been separated from his family. North Carolina is very polite, if not overly so to the point of awkwardness, whenever they have to interact.
