Description Name as State: TexasName as Nation: Republic of Texas
Name as Territory: Tejas
Human Name as State:
Ross Jones
Human Name as Republic of Texas:
Rosas Hernandez
Hair:
His hair is a simple brown, nothing that can be described as any other color but brown.  He has the slightest bit of curl in his hair if he cuts it too short, but he keeps from growing past the bottom of his ears. A small, stray, curl pokes out on the left side, nearly hidden by the rest of his hair. The curl represents the Alamo, a sacred place for Texas.
Eyes:
His eyes are a brown hue, almost a chocolate brown, but nothing special.
Appearance:
His skin is tanned partially from his heritage, but mostly from all of the years spent outside since he was young. He has no particularly outstanding scars or markings. His body is somewhat lean, muscles built through the years through outdoor work and his years as a cowboy.  Human First Name under France:RosePersonality:He is often polite around others as a force of habit, refraining from starting fights unless insulted or threatened.  He is very polite to women, though men he will occasionally get into a brawl with if given the right reasons.  He has been drinking for a good portion of his life and can often be found with a flask or bottle of whiskey or tequila.  He cares very deeply about those important to him and will do almost anything for those he considers family.
History:
When he was very small, he was discovered by Spain, who called him Tejas.  There is a tale behind that name, of explorers asking natives what the land was called, saying 'Tejas', which was really a greeting in the natives' language. Spain did not have any actual settlements in Tejas just yet and did not pay much attention to the territory.

The first Nation to spend real time with little Tejas, was France, who placed his flag at the territory's home after Spain's influence on him had waned. After Frances's settlement, the first true one to be established there, died off, Spain returned.

This time, Spain paid most of his attention to Mexico, a few missions being built but for the most part paying little attention to the territory as Mexico began to grow.
When Mexico left Spain, Tejas was taken along for the ride.  Texas lived with Mexico for a long time, eventually meeting America.

Mexico allowed some of America's people to settle at Tejas's place, the territory of Tejas and his people learning of the way America ran things and finding it preferable to the way they were treated by Mexico and his boss.

Working with both the Americans that had moved in as well as the Mexican people who had already been there, a rebellion began in an attempt to free Texas from Mexico.
there were many battles and many lost lives during the Texas Revolution, but almost the only one known by any other State and a few countries due to movies, is the Battle of The Alamo.  A small group of men, women, and children fighting to hold their ground and make time for more troops to arrive. Against the staggering odds, the men knew the chances of the troops arriving to save them were grim.  Texas remembers this battle as the death of good men who showed courage and determination despite having no chance of leaving alive. Several famous humans, America's folk heroes, died in the battle. Davey Crockett, Daniel Boone, and Jim Bowie were present and died in the fight that slowed down the army long enough for troops to make it.
After capturing Mexico's leader and getting together and writing a constitution, the territory was 'officially' a nation.

As the Republic of Texas, he was very excited at first until he began to fall ill due to problems involving the very poorly thought out economic aspect of his new government. When he finally went to ask America if he could join as a State, he was turned down due to the 'balance of Slavery and non-slavery states' being off if he were to join.  He had to wait around ten years for another to be ready to join America before he was allowed to, nearly dying in the process.

When joining America, there was a contract signed giving Texas the right to leave if he wanted to. This was supposedly voided during the Civil War, though many of Texas's citizens still seem to believe it is a real thing and rumors and petitions to leave the U.S. still float around to this day.
Nowadays, Texas can be found practicing for rodeos, farming, checking in on oil companies, raising livestock, feeding or hunting the wildlife, and trying to clean up the beaches.

Transgender Texas: Texas was born with the body of a girl, yet at first had no idea what the difference between girls and boys were and assumed they were a boy like Spain and France.  It felt very natural to think that way and even upon discovering his body was that of a girl, he refused to be called a she, or a girl. Being referred to as such made him feel really weird and the few times France tried to get him to wear a dress as a child upon first discovery of his body’s gender, he threw a royal fit about being referred to as a girl and would not stop until the nation referred to him as a boy again. Texas has been known to be very stubborn. During any war, his way of living and concealing his body’s gender actually proved helpful in staying amongst the troops. He felt if they knew, they would try to lock him away for his ‘safety’ like they often would with women and children. There are rumored to be some strange photos from a Christmas party at America’s place involving a lost bet, but if these photos were to surface, Texas will likely attempt to throttle their holder and scream about PhotoShop.
