Description
Considering that she's made quite a few appearances already, it's about time I made a profile for Illinois.

-Hell yeah she has a Polish name. If any state would, it's the state that celebrates Casimir Pulaski day religiously.
-She's been wearing her hair short even since the 1920s. It's very thick and curly and so she always hated having to deal with it. When the flapper era/her glory days came along, it was quite a relief to cut it all off!
-Blue eyes= blue Lake Michigan (you should be noticing a pattern here.)
-She's wearing her favorite scarf and coat because more often than not, she's going to need them. (When I spent my first winter in Illinois I was DEFINITELY not prepared for all the snow, ice, and general bitter cold. Mary does not like Illinois winters. At all.)
-She's kind of a party girl. Kind of. She definitely can't beat Wisconsin in a drinking contest (no one can), but she can still drink some of the best under the table.
-Speaking of Wisconsin, she may or may not have a crush on him. She'll never tell you conclusively, anyway.
-Even though she's really smart, she can seem sort of ditzy sometimes. She gets easily distracted by shiny/flashy and interesting things.
-Have you ever heard of Cahokia, Illinois? Well you ought to have. It was once the site of the largest Native American city north of Mexico and the center of the Central Plains Moundbuiider culture. At its peak, it had over 15,000 residents. That may not seem like a lot today, but consider the fact that, during the same time period, it was not much smaller than Bristol, England's second-largest city!

I'll add more info later. It's 3 a.m. here.
