Nickname: The Sunshine State

Human Name: April Solana Flores

Age: 22 Years Old

Gender: Female

Historical Background: La Florida was first explored by the Spanish in 1513; it would later be settled in 1565. In 1763, Spain traded Florida to Great Britain for control of Cuba; Great Britain then divided the region into East Florida and West Florida. British rule over Florida came to an end in 1783 when the region was returned to Spain in the aftermath of the American Revolution. The Republic of West Florida and the Republic of East Florida were formed in 1810 and 1812 respectively in retaliation against Spanish rule until Spain gave up Florida to the United States under the 1821 Adams-Onis Treaty. East Florida and parts of West Florida combined to become the Florida Territory which lasted from 1822 to 1845 when it was admitted to the Union as a state.

Personality: Foolish and Frisky. This Florida woman is always making headlines, although it's not always good news. From dancing carefree in the nude to shooting hurricanes with a grenade launcher, the list of crazy shit she has done is endless. She's far from normal, yet most people have long accepted her weirdness to be her specialty; it's quite impressive how creative she can be. To that effect, it has made her a lovable outcast—either popularly loved or popularly hated. In her opinion, there's no such thing as bad publicity, nor does she feel shameful for her devil-may-care behavior. She simply doesn't want to be boring—that's it. Her brain may have been fried from the sun's rays, but she'll always be looking flamboyant doing anything in the heat of the moment—like picking magic mushrooms while carrying an alligator over her shoulder. Aside from politics, rarely anything brings down her sunny demeanor.
