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.
West Virginia, also known by her human name, Katherine Francis Washington, is a reckless and caring individual who values loyalty to her family above all else. She cares deeply for her family and hates betrayal and traitors. She is incredibly loyal to anyone she is close to and values loyalty in others.
She can be reckless, oftentimes acting without thinking, as well as participating in activities that can be dangerous. She wants to live life to the fullest and views life as a gift, and does not want to waste any opportunities she is given in life.
West Virginia is also very snarky and sarcastic and very confident in herself. She is fierce in personality and very protective of her family. She is a free spirit and loves spending time outdoors.

West Virginia is four foot nine and physically twenty-one. She has brown eyes and straight red-brown hair that is often tied up in braids or a ponytail. She is covered in freckles almost everywhere on her body.
In country form, her face is her flag, and the blue from the border around her flag makes up the color of her body. Wreaths of red rhododendron maximum are on her hands.
In human form, she is mixed but often seen as White, 89.8 White-10.2 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, Irish, English, Scots-Irish, and African American.
She is lanky and slim with bony elbows.
