Warning: All French in this will probably be horrendous.
Newfoundland has mute swans. There are two possible stories about how the swans that there: more common one is that Queen Elizabeth II gave them as a gift or 2. Harry Hamlyn went to England and got them from King George. Either way, they're English.
Quebec knew the swan was evil. It seemed all innocent and graceful, but it was just a disguise. It was a demon with a thirst for blood. Probably her blood, if you took the constant hydro-based arguments between her and the twins.
But everyone else thought it was precious. The other girls seemed absolutely memorized by the animal, crowding close to the water (or in the Maritimers case, in the water), while she stood as far away as possible.
...Why did she let Ontario drag her here again?
"Come on Quebec!" Labrador said, throwing her dirty blonde braid over her shoulder, "It's not going to hurt you!"
"Oui, il est. Ce cygne est mal pur."
The bird suddenly shot out of the water, seemingly intent on destroying Quebec. The other provinces and territories turned to the twins for an explanation as Quebec ran away swearing on the top of her lungs.
Newfoundland shrugged, pressing her lips together as though trying to hide her amusement, "Well it is an English swan."
