You probably know about America. Who doesn't really? Everyone knows he's a burger lover, obnoxious, can't be serious for five seconds, and a very tall man who enjoys being called a hero, but what if you were completely wro...
This is what New Hampshire looks like, though imagine her hair is black and a little shorter while her eyes a sky blue.
Melanie.
She came after Rhode Island and shortly Connecticut, making her the colony of New Hampshire, founded when Captain John Mason and John Wheelwright, as well as other colonists, arrived in 1636. The captain had named the land "New Hampshire" after the land on which he grew up in England.
And thus Melanie Jones/Kirkland was conceived.
Although she was in the womb around the same time as Benjamin and Victoria, she had been born a while after. For countries, one year was like ten years for humans. America knew she shouldn't have been surprised when Melanie was born with black hair, just like her older triplet sister, Victoria, but she had.
Melanie looked like the younger version of Victoria despite their various similarities, though Melanie was more gentle and accepting in personality than Victoria had been, and while Victoria wore Gothic dresses, Melanie wore bright colors. Their hair styles were different too; while Victoria's hair was long, Melanie kept hers to her shoulders. Due to once being a royal colony under England, Melanie really acted like a princess; elegant, polite, and sweet.
Even today she acted like that, but to America, Melanie will always be her little princess.
Though, Victoria and Melanie, despite being the best of friends, were known to fight with each other almost every day.
For example?
"Bloody hell Melanie, I told you to not replace my dresses with yours! You know I hate that color!" Victoria yelled at her sister, who was giggling in delight as if her sister wasn't yelling at her to begin with.
"But Victoria dear, you must at least try! Who knows, you might even like it!"
Victoria's eyebrow twitched."I hate you."
Melanie gasped, feigning hurt, before she became that of a scolding mother. "How cruel of you dear sister! You know I may have to go tell Mother about this. You know she doesn't permit that behavior in this house!"
A vein now popped out of Victoria's temple. "Why you--!"
That happened in the 1800's, and even today those arguments gave America a headache. Like when she had to scold the two of them in Ben's place, as he would always keep the two girls in line when she couldn't.
"Have the two of you forgotten once more?" America had asked slowly. "I have told you countless times to not fight over something as simple as this. Victoria, I understand that you don't like Melanie's fashions, but try them on and see how you like it, and then you can judge them from there."
Melanie let out a triumphant smile at Victoria, who glared at her before nodding to her mother without a word.
"And Melanie?" America continued with a sickly sweet voice, causing both sisters to freeze in terror. They hated it when their mother gave them that look. "I've told you time and time again that it's not nice to force people into things they don't want to. You know better than that, both of you! Now, for doing this, you both are not to receive any breakfast tomorrow morning!"
"Huh?! B-But Mother--!" both girls tried to protest.
"Don't "But Mother" me young ladies, unless you want me to forbid you lunch also?"
That shut the girls up.
America knew she was being harsh, but her daughters had to understand that everyone had their limits, and she was about to reach hers if they didn't stop arguing and scaring the younger children. Hell, they were scaring both Hawaii and little Alaska with their antics, and Alaska already had enough on her plate.
If only America could've protected her older children from the wars that they would soon be witness to.
