I decided to do the NYAF mascot contest.
Liberta-chan represents Newyork through her multitude of colors (everyone's different!). Green/blue for the Statue of Liberty, red for New York's day life, and orange for the night life. Green would be the nature of the state, and purple is the color that represents all the different types of individuals in NY~

Of course, Liberta-chan is ready for a day in Manhattan and her clothes (vest, shirt, skirt) represent education, art, sports, and all the other things people do. They represent dreams. Colorful, light, and fun to look at!
