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.
Mississippi, also known by her human name of Margaret "Maggie" Ruby Washington, is a confidant and loyal person. She is not afraid of many things and is willing to plunge headfirst into dangerous situations if it means protecting loved ones.
Despite being loyal, she is slow to trust and often presumes that people have ill intentions when meeting her. She can be very skeptical and often worries about being tricked and people betraying her. Due to this, she can sometimes come off as hostile and prickly, although to those she does trust, she comes off as sweet and caring.
She hates stereotypes more than anything and can be very proud, not afraid to fight people for her honor. She has a strong self of self and hates when it is questioned. She believes that people questioning her are also questioning all her people, something that enrages her, as she is very protective of them.

Mississippi is four foot eleven and physically twenty-three. She has brown eyes and kinky black hair in braids to her shoulders. She wears glasses.
In her country form, her face is her flag, and she has the stripes from her flag running down her body, meaning that her arms are red, while the center of her body is blue, and the gold lines in between them are there. On her right hand is the magnolia flower, and on her left is the circle of stars.
In human form, she is mixed but often called black due to her hair, 56 White-44 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 English, African American, Scottish, and Scots-Irish.
She is slim and her body is almost rectangular.
Mississippi has traits from a bald eagle. She has wings and tail feathers. Her wingspan is 13.18 ft. She has had these traits since birth.
Mississippi has looked the same throughout her life, although her hair only became kinky in 1820.
