Maryland
It was three human years after Felix's birth when the British Lord Baltimore, or George Calvert, and other British settlers arrived at that new piece of land to seek refuge for English Catholics. That land would eventually be named Maryland, chosen by King Charles I in honor of his wife, Queen Henrietta Maria.
Of course, when the Lord Baltimore and the other Catholics settled down there, America had the gut feeling that she would be having another child soon.
She had been right. After she woke up, America saw a baby girl, peacefully sleeping in her arms. She looked exactly like her, America had thought, with her wheat hair, blue eyes, and tan skin. Of course, the older woman had named the baby Maryland, Mary, in honor of her now deceased maid.
Mary was a very peaceful young woman, and she loved the outdoors due to her agriculture and how the climate made it very possible for crops to grow year round. Though, despite being England's daughter, she didn't inherit the "imaginary friends" or any of his other magical habits. However, she was magical in her special way, as America heard that some people mistook her for the Greek goddess of the harvest, Demeter.
In appearance, Mary's hair reached her waist, her body was slender and muscular from working on her harvest, and she was always seen wearing a crown made of wheat (or sometimes leaves or her state flower) and even carrying said grains in her arms. This was also due to her peaceful nature, which further made people see her as the goddess Demeter.
Of course, Mary was, and always will be, America's little Demeter, and it was an affectionate nickname her siblings would give her in due time.
Mary was always seen wearing a white sundress and tending to the garden, often becoming upset if people harmed the forests or farmland. Even today she still hated it, but America wouldn't have it any other way.
In fact, the world needed more people like Mary in the world.
"Earth takes care of us, and yet so many people are taking advantage of that," Mary once told her mother. "If they don't stop this, future generations will suffer because of them."
America couldn't agree more.
Though, it wasn't just the people, but the growing populations in her country.
America would try to bring this up and see if they could make each country government have only two children per family at a certain age and even encourage couples to not have children if they didn't want them. However, that would only risk her true identity being discovered, and America couldn't have that just yet.
But...at the same time, America knew she had to bring this to an end, whether she liked it or not, in the future, or else her cowardice would lead to the poor health of her people.
