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.
California, also known by their human name of Koda Amihan Hà Casey Washington de Echeverría, is a caring and outgoing individual who doesn't care how others perceive them. She knows who she is as a person and doesn't care how others feel about that. They are very resolute and comfortable with themselves and who they are and rarely feel anxious about it.
They care deeply about family and are always willing to help them, especially if it means they get to punch a bitch. She's not afraid to stand up for herself or others and prefers taking action to help her family than standing by and doing nothing. To her, not taking action is worse than any consequences that come with taking action.
California is also very open-minded, and, like how they don't care how others see them, they also really don't care how others see themselves. California is a person who is easy to confide in, as she doesn't judge others and is able to keep a secret. They will listen and offer advice
best they can, and they are a comfort to many people for that reason.
