Lenore a Pumpkin Lass

Description

This is my entry for :iconlittlemisspomp:'s contest for creating a pumpkin person

For my entry, I came up with this lass who I call Lenore.
Lenore is based off a Cinderella Pumpkin vaguely because it is my mother's favorite pumpkin and we have one every Halloween but we are forbidden to carve it.
I always thought Cinderella Pumpkins looked a little roundish, I guess fat, so Lenore is a pretty thickly built girl with broad shoulders. She shows the recessive trait of freckles but the dominate trait of straight teeth. So naturally she is a vegetarian, but she will eat a little tuna and eggs for her protein because she's allergic to nuts.

Lenore is a girl in her early twenties. She never went to college and was never really a successful student to begin with. Lenore takes pride in being a Scottish Folk Dancer and practices with her group everyday. She makes a small profit from her dancing, which is very excellent, but it is not enough to support herself as a new adult so Lenore works part time at both her Uncle's bar as a bartender and at her Aunt's flower shop as a errand girl. Lenore was raised by her Aunt and Uncle after her mother passed on when she was around twelve or so. Lenore's father works over seas and couldn't leave his job to come take care of her. Lenore loves her Aunt and Uncle, who are slightly older than her actual parents, and she loves her Father very much, but she still rarely sees him.

Lenore had growing issues as a child and remained very short and very stout for a long time. She has grown inches taller since then and has been stretched out a bit, but there was also the strange things her hair did. When she was a girl they thought she would only have loose curls, but when she became a toodler her bangs and curls closer to the front of her head began to clump together, into dreadlocks, but the back stayed unusually curly. When she was in elementary school Lenore was a little shy about it, but after a while she developed a style she really like and now almost prides her self about it. While Lenore does not tend to get easily offended she is very sensitive about weight topics and tries to avoid as much as possible. Many tend to think she was picked on though her tween years about her appearance, but that is something she does not like to talk about.

Lenore is a easy flowing person. Now in her early adulthood, Lenore has begun to discover herself and think about what she really wants to be and not what she had always been trying to be as a child. She is much more open and individualistic than she used to. Lenore does like to have a little bit of alone time every day though to have something she calls self revelation. This is where s he takes her mistakes and regrets from the past and think them through, point out what she did wrong, then point out how she corrected herself, and moves on. This is sort of a self esteem exercise, but its not like now anyone could tell she ever had self esteem problems. She really just loves to live the life she has today and not worry about the future, she's a deep thinker, but with a really little vocabulary to try and speak it. She likes to relax and talk with someone, if she had to pick a favorite pastime.

As far as sexual orientation goes, Lenore isn't quite sure. After the stress for ranging teenage hormones finally passed, Lenore didn't really attract to anyone except in a platonic sense. She still kinda of doesn't, but she's pretty sure she'll know when she'll know, or at least that's how she puts it.

---

Gosh, I reallly don't expect to win, mostly cause the awesome artist who is running the constest has equally anwesome friends to make great competition, but besides that I actually want to keep Lenore as a character. Maybe after the contest I might make her a human OC and expend on her a bit, because I can really relate to a lot of the stuff that had happened to her.
