They cover for each other too. Like, ‘No no, they’re Canadian too. I should know, as a province. Which I totally am, right Canada?’ ‘Eh, close enough’ and everyone else is just D O N E
Alfred and Mattie decide to temporarily trade Maine and Minne for Quebec and Berta for a few days or so. They end up introducing their own special kind of chaos into the Union/Confederation.
Minne fits right in with the Canadians, Maine tries to fight them all at once
You know, it’s been a while since I’ve really talked about Maine. So here we go!
I actually used to have an RP blog for her, but she started out like any first oc would. Pretty bad. She was a quiet, shy girl who was extremely polite? And, as I wasn’t a great artist, she resembled me to an extreme, even clothing wise, as that’s what I could draw. More about her currently under the cut! (And Yes, you can 10000000% ask questions about her)
Text reads: Vacationland (Apparently a motto, it’s on the license plate);
Dirigo (’I lead’ in latin, the official state motto);
Must Be Maine (This is where I got my url from! It’s the motto from the tourism department. fuck if I know why);
Wicked (Wicked comes from the official language of Maine, Mainer, and means ‘Cool’, ‘Awesome’, or ‘Very’ depending on the use);
‘You can’t get there from here’ (From the official language of Maine, Mainer, this means ‘fuck off, I don’t know and I don’t care’, usually when directions are involved);
Polar Star State (We lead, just like the polar star does for sailors!)
Salty Bitch of the North East: Her wicked special title.
Appearance: Brown hair with light purple eyes. She’s pretty pale, being the whitest state (Like, 95% white. Trust me, unless you live near Lewiston or Portland, it’s like skim milk here). She’s pretty active, so she’s on the lean side with some visible muscles, especially abs. Always wears a plaid flannel shirt and jeans, as well as a star necklace. Looks about 18-20ish.
Age: 413 (She was part of Acadia, but her colony failed)
Human Name: Mackenzie Alice Elizabeth Johnson or Violet Johnson (She goes by both; as a child, ‘Violet’ was used mostly around the French, while ‘Mackenzie’ was used around the English, so she swaps between both presently.)
Nicknames: Mack (Prefers this over Mackenzie), Vi (Vi, Bi, BYE)
Sexuality: Bi
Speaks: Mainer, French, and English fluently; Some Somali
Personality: Maine just wants to left to her own devices and be able to hunt and fish as she pleases. She’s not interested in being forced to hang out with people and really couldn’t care less about girly things. HOWEVER! She will do just about anything out of spite. She adores horror movies and books, especially Stephen King works, and is proud of anything from her state, no matter how small. Often jokes about being Canadian, though her dry sense of humor and deadpan tone often makes it seem like she’s serious. Can climb a fir tree in under 5 minutes. Doesn’t matter the size. She’ll do it. (Poor New Hampshire tries to get her to chill and sHE JUST WON’T) Loves animals, especially cats. She can cook really well, especially seafood/lobster, though she makes way too much lobster for it to be healthy. Maine is both the mother-friend and the sister-friend. Yes, she’ll mother the shit out of someone, but she’ll also say things like ‘Do you want me to punch your feelings in the face? I’ll do it. I’ll fucking fight them.’ and will throw down if pushed. Always cold and always down for cuddles. She will push her cold hands on people’s necks until they agree to warm her up. Nova Scotia gives in the quickest (He likes cuddles), New Brunswick will agree if she’s sitting, New Hampshire tries to fight her for it.
Likes: Hunting, fishing, cooking, blueberries, lobster, cats, horror, Halloween, New Hampshire, walks, swimming, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia
Dislikes: Massachusetts, politics, Massachusetts, roundabouts, being treated like an idiot, poachers, Massachusetts, people forgetting she’s a state, England, France, Massachusetts
In all seriousness, Maine does care about Mass. She just butts heads with him extremely often.
Friends: New Hampshire, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut. (Mostly just the first three. The other four are people she feels like she can count on, but would 110% avoid if seen in public)
