Sharon Ferre

Sharon Ferre is well-known for her one and only obsession: pink. Her alias is Pink Diva. She is PFFs (Pink Friends Forever) with Annika Thunder-Thigh (who prefers to go by her surname only). She is one of the main human characters in Produce: A Musical (an M-Squeak Production). Her official website is www.freewebs.com/pink-diva-rocks but she is also known for her support of the PACOTW (Pinkness Appreciation Club of the World) (www.freewebs.com/pacotw). She is a graduate of Pink University, and has multiple careers:
-Pinkness Designer
-Actress
-Singer
-Author

She is unmarried (and intends to remain so), though Steve the Grocer has an ENORMOUS crush on her. Her goal in life is to retire in a pink castle with Thunder-Thigh, and to make pinkness the obsession of the world (though not necessarily in that order).
