Virginia

Virginia (バージニア州, Bājinia shū) is a fan-made character in Hetalia-Axis Powers. She represents the Commonwealth of Virginia. Her human name is Alexandria Columbia Northam-Jones (アレクサンドリア コロンビア ノーサム ジョーンズ, Arekusandoria Koronbia nōzamu jōnzu).

Attributes
Appearance

Virginia appears as a young woman with a delicate frame, light skin, black hair and gold eyes. She believes that she shares some of her physical traits (especially her dark hair) with Powhatan, her late father. Virginia dresses sharply and professionally (business casual at her most relaxed), believing that it gives her an air of authority and respect, though she is partial to colorful sundresses. She bears many physical and mental scars from the Civil War, but has managed to move on with her life.

Personality

Virginia takes her position as the first colony with pride, often declaring herself to be the "Mother of America." She is very nostalgic, and fondly remembers the days when she and the rest of the colonies united to fight England, and even today she feels a lingering comradery with them, even if many of them are quite aggravating. Because of her historical importance, though, Virginia can be rather bossy and demanding, even towards America, whom she's always quick to remind that he's the younger of the two. Though as other states (like California, New York, and Texas) have quickly become more powerful and more relevant than her, Virginia can't help but feel a bit like an old has-been, which adds to her lack of confidence. When she isn't being domineering, though, Virginia has been known to have a deeply caring and affectionate nature, displaying a sort of motherly attitude towards her family.

She has a sort of light yet charming Southern accent, though it's become diluted as she's become more exposed to the cultures of the Northeastern states. Virginia is a homebody and prefers to relax and be among her beaches and forest trails, which she loves. She is also very proficient at making moonshine, though she tries to keep this fact a secret.

Relationships
America (Alfred F. Jones): Virginia maintains a good relationship with America, though he's grown past the need for her constant scolding and "advice." He still places a high amount of trust and faith in her, and was rather quick to forgive her for her actions during the Civil War.

England (Arthur Kirkland): To this day, Virginia isn't quite sure if England counts as her father or not. According to the island nation, Virginia just "popped up" one day, and the rest was history. She can't help but feel a sore, melancholic nostalgia for her times growing up with England, but she wouldn't give up being a part of America for anything.

West Virginia (Paul M. Northam-Jones): Virginia has a complicated relationship with her brother, West Virginia. His split from her happened rather suddenly, a process she found to be very traumatic. She claims he was born from the "doubts" she had in the Confederacy. Virginia also can't stand the perpetual cloud of coal ash that hangs over him. West Virginia, on the other hand, finds his sister to be too domineering and an elitist. However, the two can find rare moments in which they get along well, though this is typically over a bottle of moonshine.

Maryland (Maria H. Claiborne-Jones): Virginia and Maryland have gotten along better in recent years. Virginia finds her passion for crabs to be adorable, and likewise Maryland has secretly asked her how to make the best alcohol.
