Re: +1 ooc

Poor baby. No wonder she's a little demon, I can't imagine the constant abuse. How do you think she was treated when men grew accustomed to her presence?

America probably dreamed of being like that, once, then discovered it was really boring and she doesn't have that much finesse and isn't she supposed to be a good girl anyway? No maturity or feminine charms. And don't get me started on her views on relationships and romance, those Puritan years had a long-lasting effect on her.

She probably had longish hair she either left down or braided for a long time until the turn of the 20th century when she chopped a lot of it off and never looked back.

Yeah I'm thinking America's wasn't quite that bad, but she had her fair share of sexism from both cultured cityfolk and rough and tumble explorers. Thankfully a lot of her people would gave either been settlers or a few generations past that for a while, which mostly breeds independence for people of both sexes. But her inability to do any sort of commercial dealings without a man to sign off on it would've been a thorn in her side, even out on the frontier.
