Personality and Interests
Loud, sarcastic and foul-mouthed, Philadelphia's careless, unserious and quite proud of his city. Most of the time. He's quite energetic as he talks and walks quite fast, Lance didn't believe he could do that until he saw it himself. He has a quite bossy and boastful attitude as Philadelphia was constantly chosen to be the capital of the new nation and loves to boss people around because of it. Philadelphia has never cared if someone talked sh*t about his city and usually brushes their words off, except if you tell him he's the worst city in the Union or that Philadelphia should have never been considered a temporary more than once.

Philly constantly says he's better than everyone else as he was the capital of the U.S a total of six times. Philly loves going to the Jersey Shore in summer and he also loves to rerun the Jersey Shore to piss off South. As it stands, most of the Northeast, even Pennsylvania, agree that Philadelphia is the worst driver among them. However, Philadelphia quickly denies it and says that he's the best driver among them.

Philly's known for being brash, painfully honest and sardonic, but he's not flat-out rude or mean. However, the others have told him that he's "quite an asshole," but he usually just brushes them off. Philadelphia can laugh hysterically at any time, regardless if it's appropriate or not if he finds something truly hilarious. Like his father, Philadelphia tends to hide his true feelings under his personality, but deep down he's cynical and he can form strong kinships with close friends and family. He's known for being very tolerant of different people and has never backed down from a challenge. Back when he was capital, Philly was serious and showed more of his cynical nature than today.

Philly usually avoids any conversion about his old self and seems keen on keeping it away from others. Philly's very passionate about Pennsylvania's sports teams to the point where he'll throw hands with his siblings if they tell him differently.
