Trivia

Character

Alexandria is a she-cat who loves structure and organization, especially in regards to formal events. Because she used to be the nation's capital before D.C., she thinks she has the right to take charge of other cities and set up all of their meetings, but things don't always work out the way she plans, since others don't really seem to like her meddling. This also lends itself to her somewhat protective and almost motherly attitude towards others; as she is pretty old compared to most cities. It is easy for her to come across as arrogant due to her propensity for reminding everyone how important she was to US history, especially during the early years of the nation, but she simply doesn't wish to be left out of the textbooks and overshadowed by D.C. and she's a bit stuck in the past.

History

During her long history, Alexandria was a tobacco trading post, one of the ten busiest ports in America, a part of the District of Columbia, home to both the largest slave-trading firm in the country and a large free-black community, a Civil War supply center for Union troops, and a street-car suburb for Federal workers. Alexandria was also the hometown of George Washington, Robert E. Lee, Jim Morrison, and Mama Cass.
