I will not do anything past 2020 for the history sections unless they were born after 2020, as many events are too recent. Website still incomplete.
Colorado, also known by his human name Gerald Wyatt Washington, is an avid nature lover and a massive introvert. He isn't good with people and prefers to be by himself in nature. Colorado loves nature and outdoor activities. He is the person you see outdoors more often than not. Being inside makes him feel cooped up and antsy, and he is eager to go back outside as soon as he can.
Colorado can also come off as cold and hostile, both because of his introverted nature and his very rough and bloody childhood. He expects the worst from people and acts accordingly when he meets new people. He expects to be hurt, either emotionally or physically, by people and takes solace in nature, away from humans and their problems.
Colorado is very in tune with his emotions, very aware of when his behavior becomes destructive, and knows how to balance and mitigate things. He understands that seeing the worst in everyone is terrible, but fear and trauma push him to react how he does. Colorado tries to overcome this but only succeeds if in a comfortable environment. That being said, he is able to make friends, and the people he is close to, both friends and family, he holds very dear.

Colorado is five foot five and physically twenty-one. He has gray eyes and wavy dark brown hair that is often tied back into a man bun. He has freckles that dot his face and arms.
In country form, his face is his flag, and the blue from his flag carries down his body. On his hands is the “C” from his flag, and the white stripe goes across his mid torso.
In human form, he is mixed but often called white, 70.7 White-29.3 POC, based on the 2020 census (this is also a very loose definition, but I am trying to give you a good baseline for "mixed"). The largest ethnic groups are German (Including Swiss and Austrian), Mexican, Irish, and English.
He is broad-shouldered and physically fit.
Colorado has a bullet scar on his lower torso.
Colorado has looked the same throughout his history and only grew his hair out in the 1970s.

From July 4, 1861 to November 6, 1861, Colorado had a dulled version of the 34 Star flag.
From November 6, 1861, to March 15, 1877, Colorado had the territorial seal (unfortunately, I was unable to find an image of it). It was adapted into the state seal, and that was used from March 15, 1877, to June 5, 1911.
