California stands as the liberal character in Ben Brainard's Welcome to the Table series, representing progressive policies. He's generally seen as a geek and has no friends because of that, to his sadness. He likes to take jabs at people, shown by his constant teasing of Government and arguing with Texas. He is a hypocrite, though he pretends not to be. He is upset about having no friends, but he's very picky about who he allows to hang out with him. Hates anyone and everyone from the South.
