Alabama is a very bright and cheerful battleship, but is also gullible and not mindful of her surroundings, making her an easy target. Her experience in war has made her very jumpy and skittish, she is afraid of lots of things and is easily startled by loud noises. She has a form of PTSD, which is why she is this way. She also has to be near someone at night, usually Texas, because she’s afraid that something bad will happen to her while she sleeps.
