? Pumpkin — Softheart in Training (aka: Feather-hoarding bush-hider, please be nice to her) So if you’re here, you might be: Curious about shipping with Pumpkin (12 moons, MossClan ward, female, straight) Looking for a wholesome, awkward slow-burn romance Or just clicking random posts like a nosy squirrel Either way — welcome! Pumpkin is looking for a male x female slow-burn relationship that grows from friendship, nervous eye contact, and mutual emotional support. No insta-love here — this girl needs time, feathers, and trust. ? Who Is Pumpkin? “I don’t really do fighting, but I could… maybe… yell at a hawk for you? From a distance?” Pumpkin is a gentle, kind, and anxious young she-cat who dreams of one day being brave. She: Smells like cherry petals, soft moss, and river mist Is small, ginger-and-white, with soft fur and wide amber eyes Mimics bird calls and collects pretty feathers in a secret stash Loves streams, companionship, and quiet joy Is terrified of hawks (they killed her adoptive mother, Tsunamiflash) She doesn’t want to fight — but she’ll protect her Clan and loved ones, even if her paws shake while doing it. ? Pumpkin’s Relationship Progression ~ {Strangers} ~ “Hi! Um—hi. I’m Pumpkin! Are you from around here? Do you like birds?” Pumpkin is nervous but hopeful around strangers. She sees everyone as a potential friend, even if she gets flustered trying to talk. She often introduces herself with something awkward and adorable. She’s eager to learn about others — just don’t be too loud or pushy at first. ~ {Friends} ~ “You're my friend? Really? That's… that’s wonderful!” Around friends, Pumpkin becomes noticeably more open. She’ll: Share her secret feather stash Try to mimic a bird call just to make you smile Build you a cozy moss seat beside hers She’s sweet, supportive, and deeply loyal once she trusts you. ~ {Crushes} ~ “I—I wasn’t watching you! I was just—um—bird! Look, a bird!!” The moment Pumpkin catches feelings, her brain short-circuits. Expect: Nervous stammering Sudden retreats into bushes Secret gifts left anonymously (but very obviously from her) She’ll never admit her feelings first — unless her crush is brave enough to nudge her gently. ~ {Lovers} ~ “I want to be brave like Tsunamiflash. But… maybe I could be brave for you, too.” If you make it here, you’ve won the softest mate. Pumpkin shows love through: Feather gifts behind your ear Sleepy riverside cuddles Quiet declarations when she thinks you're not listening She doesn’t need grand gestures — just someone who believes in her. Note: Pumpkin is straight and only available for m/f ships. ? ~ {Enemies} ~ “I… I don’t like how you talk to people. Or treat the forest. Please go.” Pumpkin doesn't make enemies easily. But if someone: Bullies others Disrespects her Clan Treats nature poorly Hurts those she loves (especially her friends, like idk for now) …you’ll see a rare flicker of spine. She won’t fight recklessly, but she will stand her ground in her own quiet way. She might avoid you, warn others about you, or give a trembling but firm “Stop that.” Enemies are rare — but powerful character development when done right.
? Ideal Ship Dynamics Gentle x gentle: two quiet souls finding courage in each other Protective x soft: he helps her feel safe, she helps him soften Chaotic x anxious: he’s outgoing and fearless, she’s flustered and smitten Friends to lovers: the slowest burn, full of feather gifts and awkward glances Feather gift exchange supremacy (you give her a feather (especially blue or grey) and she is your friend for life) ? Closing Notes Pumpkin isn’t flashy. She’s soft-spoken moss underpaw, feather-light feelings, and starry-eyed daydreams. She wants to be brave, and love might be what helps her find that bravery.
