FLORIDA~ [WIP]

[floridasnatural]

Full Name: Rita Valencia Maria LaPuente Fernandez-Carriedo Jones
State: Florida~
State Nickname: The Sunshine State
Capital: Tallahassee
Country: Florida is kinda off on her own. There are negotiations that she should belong to Spain again or if she should join up with the CSA. But she is stubborn and refuses to go with anyone until the fate of the USA is settled.
Affiliation: Rita, as rebellious as she is, actually wants the safe and secure feeling of being the UNITED states. Being off and alone with only visits from Spain or Cuba doesn't really help.
Date of Birth: March 3, 1845

Appearance: Dirty blond, almost light brown hair kept up in a pony tail most of the time. A round yet strong face with a button nose and full lips. Her eyes are blue-green and are of an almond shape. A sleek, athletic body yet she has a HUGE Latina ass. Which she hates, by the way.

Likes: Sports, boys, girls, the beach, relaxing, and siestas. <3
Dislikes: Cocaine (drugs in general, even though she's known to indulge in marijuana), gangs, gaining weight, her ass, and standing still.
Strengths: Headstrong, will not hold back, and does not give up.
Weaknesses: Stubborn, can go too far, oblivious to many things, and quite an explosive anger.

Personality: Rita is a very independent and headstrong young woman. She loves athletics and sports and is always moving around! However, when she isn't moving around (and finally tired herself out) she can be really chill about things and people. That is, until you say something that will ignite a short fume and explode into cursing in English and Spanish. Careful not to pick a fight with her.

Relationships: Spain is, of course, her original "father" but she was mostly raised by the Native Americans residing there while Spain was away. She now has a slight resentment for him, however, for giving her away to America.

History: She woke up with blinking with wide eyes to Native Americans and a couple Europeans arguing over her. It was a while before they came to a conclusion and during that time she wandered between the Apalachee, the Timucua, Ais, Tocobaga, and others. It wasn't long until European influence came in. First the Spanish, then British, and French. Her hair began to sun-bleach and her eyes lightened once Americans came to settle. She was torn between standing with her old Native American family or standing back with this new family. It wasn't long before her Native American family was pushed away and she soon welcomed this new American and European influence. And, thus, became Daddy's little girl.

RP Sample: And they asked why she called it the "Godless North".

Rita decided to see how New York was doing since there has been a lack of tourists. Then again, tourists in this day and age? Kind of a silly thought. But still, Rita was a lonely state and is reaching out to a few friends

Fuck, it's cold.

Rita pulled the bulky winter jacket tighter around her body. The snow and slush was slowly seeping into her rain boots and her toes already felt numb. A fleeting thought about frostbite passed through her head and she shuddered. She might be overreacting, but honestly, Rita wasn't built for these winters!

"Fffffuck!" She angrily kicked at the snow, only to find she had kicked a rock. She yelped and hopped on her good foot towards a streetlight. "Merda! Pinche perda! Por que esta muy frio! AUGH!"

With a sigh, she leaned heavily on the streetlight. At least her toes didn't feel like they were going to fall off.

Hellohello! 8D Admin Chilly here! ~

I'm sorry to say but we have to deny your application for Florida. At least for now.

But don't worry, this is fixed very easily... <3

So first of all, Florida is "The Sunshine State" not "The Orange State". Just thought I'd..throw. That out there.

The personality and history should expanded on somewhat. You gotta remember, that these are mainly oc's so it's more than likely that we won't know your character as well as you do. So you need to give us some more to work from so we know the character a bit more.

As for the history...it is required that you have at least seven sentences... and you only gave us four... try to give us a more detailed history. It only takes a few minutes to do some quick research on the state's history. C:

You should probably also consider making the rp sample longer. This is to show your skills as a roleplayer, and it doesn't really show much of the character herself, nor does it do any justice to you as a roleplayer. You can keep what you have so far, but I definitely think it would be best if you just expanded on your ideas. There is a two hundred limit on responses, and this very clearly doesn't come anywhere near that..

Your app also does nothing to show that you have read the plot. Once you read the plot, you should be able to expand on her history and fill out the "affiliation" and "country" areas correctly. ^^

Everything else is fine. You might find it in your better interests to expand a bit upon her likes and dislikes, by just even writing a sentence or so about each one, but that is completely optional, and it's not a big deal if you do or don't, it just helps to make the app look better on your part. <3

So please don't let this get you down! <3 Just fix everything that needs to be fixed and then we can accept you~! C:

If you have questions pretty please PM either Dawn or Chilly and we'll help you out as much as you want! <33
Also, keep this on the downlow, Chilly know a lot about Florida's history, so she can help you with that if you want. ;D
