Do you know who I am yet?
Here's one last hint:
​
- My state is capital is Charleston​

​
No, I'm not South Carolina ;)
I'm West Virginia and my motto is "Mountaineers Are Always Free"

Also, here are some famous individuals from West Virginia that may inspire you: Chuck Yeager (Air Force test pilot and icon), Don Knotts (comedic actor), and Mary Lou Retton (Olympic gold medal gymnast).
