Cathy.
Cathy – the pumpkin – is lovely, helpful, smart, generous, and outgoing. If you were in school still, and she were a classmate, she’d be the one the teachers would tell you “plays with everyone.”
But she is a pumpkin. I don’t have to tell you what body image is to a pre-teen girl. You can deal with kinky hair. Heck, you can even go all “wild-girl hair” these days. But no girl wants to look like a pumpkin. Of all the monsters, she might be the only one who seems to realize she looks different from everyone else. But you’ll never get her to crack, and on the surface she remains unfazed by the negative comments we know must be coming her way.
She knows she’s an oddball. She wishes she weren’t. But she refuses to let her difference bother her. In fact, the biggest problem she faces comes once every year — trying to figure out what to be for Halloween.
WHAT SHE WANTS: She wants to be liked.

She looks kinda like that Halloween costume Bugs Bunny wears in that one cartoon where he’s dealing with Witchypoo, and Witchypoo thinks he’s a real monster come to visit her. I forget the title of it though.
