From source:

So, I was bored and decided to ponify my home state. Her name is Buckeye State, but you can call her “Ohio” for short.

She’s a mare because of the “Mother of Presidents” nickname. Because of the Wright brothers and the disproportionate number of Ohioan astronauts, I made her an earth pony who has made herself mechanical wings. Her color scheme is based off of the buckeye, the nut of the state tree and the mascot of Ohio State University. She has a blue left eye and a red right eye to symbolize the contrast between the liberal-leaning urban areas and conservative-leaning rural areas, a dichotomy that places her in the coveted “swing state” category. Swing states are often called “purple” states, hence the headband. The blue streak in her tail represents the Ohio River, from which she gets her name. Her cutie mark is from the Ohio flag, and represents both the first (and last) letter of “Ohio” and the buckeye.

She’s a proud member of the State family. She spends most of her time staying out of the limelight making buckeye candies and tinkering with her flying machines, but often gets thrust into the limelight whenever the family has to make an important decision.

(Yes, I used Pony Creator. I have absolutely zero artistic talent. So sue me.)
