She's also seen wearing a blue blouse with flared sleeves, a black circle skirt that reaches her knees, blue and black kitten heels with her hair tied into a braid.

Personality and Interests
South Dakota's a bubbly and lively young girl. She's known for being silly and loving to cause pranks on her siblings. She tends to speak without thinking twice about it, causing a lot of arguments with her siblings. She's quite confident in herself and has a great sense of humor. Despite being quite reckless, she isn't downright dumb and is smarter than she lets on. Kota's doesn't like to be ignored and causes a fuss if she is. She also doesn't want to appear dull, however, vast lands of farm and Mount Rushmore aren't enough to get people excited. Kota loves reading books and constantly reads aloud to her siblings, even if she annoys them.

Kota loves going fishing and hunting. She also loves running, cycling and hiking. She never skips the annual Mount Rushmore marathon and the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally unless she's sick or injured. She adores her motorcycle and rarely lets anyone use it, screaming at someone who does without her permission. Her favorite foods are Bierocks (or runzas), Chislic, Kuchens, Pheasant and Walleye, Dimock Dairy Cheese, Kolaches and homemade fudge from Turtle Town.

North Dakota (Eden N. Larson)
They don't get along despite being twins. South doesn't like that North's reserved to the point where she has to speak for her. She hated when they lived in the same house together for around 28 years. She loves to continue her pranks despite North telling her stop as she loves to piss North off. She thinks that her constant reading aloud annoys her and loves to rev her engine whenever she's back from driving her motorcycle or at her when she's walking. She also thinks it annoys her when she keeps on calling her. Little does she know that North loves those noises as it reassures her sister that she’s safe.

Nebraska (Roxie C. Nelson)
Despite being neighbors, Nellie doesn't like her. Kota loves to rant about her to North and loves to play pranks on her often. South loves to rev her engine whenever Nellie's near to annoy her. South doesn't know where Nellie's hatred of her started, but she assumes it was when she called Kansas a "homeless moron" during the Dust Bowl. She has too much pride to apologize to Kan-Kan and Nellie.

America (Alfred F. Jones)
Kota doesn't talk to America often and he often forgets she's in the Union. However, Kota admires his strength. South once tried to teach America how to ride a motorcycle, but it didn't end too well.
