The Napkin Dad’s Encyclopedia of Characters & Stuff – Cheerleader

Cheerleader a fixture in the vintage napkins. She was always cheery. I would draw her when I wanted someone representing ‘being positive’ even if she was also a bit dense or naive about things.

But she turned out to not be dense and after leaving high school she went on to the Sorbonne in Paris, then to Oxford for her Ph.D. She is still there.

She is through with her goth phase and is now back to her cheery self, though with red hair and three tattoos her mother and father don’t know about yet.

She can still fit in her uniform and wears it every Halloween and sometimes to root for the Oxford rugby team for which her BF plays.
