America the Beautiful (United States of America #1)

Hawaii

This is what Hawaii looks like, but imagine her eyes are dark brown and without the bangs.

Something was about to go horrifically wrong, and that was all America could think about as she sat down on the beach in sick weariness. She was about to go visit her daughter at her home, but now, she could barely move to get there. 

That was when she saw the fighter planes, and soon the bombs.

It couldn't be...

Just as the bombs descended upon Pearl Harbor, America heard a little girl scream, and it wasn't just any little girl.

It was her little girl, her four-year-old Kyleen.

"Makuahine! Makuahine!" she was crying over and over as she ran as fast as her tiny legs would allow towards her mother. Her already long and silky black hair was flying behind her, almost like wings; and her brown and almond shaped eyes were filled with tears.

"Kyleen, don't get any close--!" Too late. The bombs landed, destroying anything near them, and Kyleen's back erupted in pain, while sections of America's body did the same. However, nothing hurt more than seeing her innocent little girl in so much pain.

Kyleen collapsed onto the sand, where she stayed for a couple moments, until she struggled to maintain her footing.

"Makuahine," she whispered, staggering to her mother, a pained smile on her face. America quietly sobbed as her 49th child got closer and closer, soon collapsing into her hug when she finally reached her and falling into a coma.

This day was a mother's worst nightmare, and a father's too if Japan knew of what his boss at the time made him do.

That poor, poor man. America knew he would never forgive himself if he knew, and he already had been guilty about this already.

That was eighty-one years ago now, and even now Kyleen has to wear bandages around her back under her traditional black and flower-decorated Hawaiian dress to hide her star-shaped scars, and while she suffered nightmares about that day sometimes, especially on its anniversary, she didn't blame her father, knowing he went with this against his will. 

Speaking of her father, the main reason why Japan was her father was because of her eventual Japanese population, even though she had been founded by other European countries, like the British. Her territory was founded in 1900, and America knew Japan would have a heart attack (quite literally too) if he knew he had a daughter.

Kyleen looked exactly like Japan, with his black hair, almond-shaped dark brown eyes, and structure, though her skin is more tan, she wears a little headpiece in her hair (made from seashells and pearls), and she is a little more energetic than him.

Though Kyleen is a shy child when you first meet her, once you get to know her, you would realize she is a ball of energy who is pretty extroverted. She also despises fighting, something that Pearl Harbor ensured, but she will fight if she or her family is threatened.

Oh, and as Ancient Hawaii was one of the cultures that accepted homosexual or bisexual practices, Kyleen accepts the people around her, no matter what sex they preferred. In case you wondering what that was called in those days, it was Aikāne. She also can see the deities of Ancient Hawaii as well, like the volcano goddess Pele, who is said to be the creator of the islands.

America had seen Pele once too, and had to admit she was both an intimidating but beautiful and wise woman, with her long fiery hair, glowing yellow eyes, and ash black skin. The goddess had a fiery temper too, which was expected because she is a volcano goddess, as when she almost lost it when Kyleen was harmed during the Pearl Harbor attacks.

"Madame Pele, it wasn't Makuahane's fault," Kyleen assured the enraged goddess. "He was forced into this."

Even with Kyleen's reassurance, it took a very long while for Pele to calm herself. Though, now she held a grudge for the man who forced Japan to bomb his own daughter.

Though this was why you do not piss off a goddess, especially one that controls volcanoes.

And here's an older Hawaii!
