Tennessee is one of America's younger siblings as one of the 50 states. Her human name is Nancy Minnie Jones.

Appearance
Usually Tennessee wears a navy blue tank top, jeans, cowboy boots, and her Tennessee Vols hat. Her current physical age is eighteen.

When she was the Watauga Settlements, she was only about six years old physically. She woar much more plain, and not as fancy dresses, and often went around bare foot. Her hair would be in two braids.

When she was the proposed state of Franklin, she was roughly fifteen years old physically, and woar slightly nicer dresses. At this time her hair was about to her hips.

Around the civil war, she woar fancier, antebellum style dresses.

Personality and Interests
Tennessee loves country music. Her favorite singers are Martina McBride, Taylor Swift, Jason Aldean, and Zac Browen. Her favorite song of all time is "This One's For the Girls".

She can play guitar, and i best with folk songs, such as "Turkey in the Straw" and "Crawdad Hole".

Tennessee and Alabama both enjoy football, and often argue about their teams.

She also enjoys horseback riding and hunting, and is considered tomboyish. In her early years, however, she learned resourcefulness, cooking, and sewing, though she does not enjoy them much anymore. Still, though, Tennessee makes sweet tea and drinks it often. She is still very good with "southern dishes", mashed potatoes, fried chicken, cornbread, etc.

She does have a habit of cussing. Tennessee is a very loyal and friendly state though, and is always willing to help out. She owns a red pickup truck.

She attends the Baptist church.

America
They have as good of relations as America does with any ofhis states. However, she argues with him whenever he disses her football team. And she, in turn, is a better marksman and teases him about it, but all in all they enjoy hanging out together.

North Carolina
When Tennessee was originally trying to move from being the Watauga Settlements to the State of Franklin, North Carolina hindered this. However, today they are good friends and watch Nascar together.

Alabama
They both love to talk about football. They make fun of eachother whenever the other's football team is staggering.

England
When she was simply "Overmountain Territory", England drew the Proclamation Line to try and keep relations between the colonies and Indians peaceful. Tennessee didn't like it much, but most people ignored it, so it didn't really bother her much.
