Hyperfeminine characters 🥰🥰🥰
Hyperfeminine characters who aren't portrayed as stupid, vapid or vain 🥰🥰 Hyperfeminine characters who genuinely enjoy quote unquote feminine interests and aren't vilified or looked down upon because of them 🥰🥰 Hyperfeminine characters who are big on female friendships rather than thrown into jealousy and "cat fight" arcs 🥰 Hyperfeminine characters whose deep interest in fashion isn't considered superficial and silly, but interesting and respectable! 🥰 Hyperfeminine characters who aren't the butt of the joke and who are well-rounded characters with depth 🥰🥰

Pink compulsively playing makeover and dress up and baby dolls but not enjoying it like she thinks she should because she was raised to be this hyperfeminine being, a wife, a mother. Learning whether or not she actually enjoys those things for herself. Also the main trio have become the teachers, but good!
NO EXACTLY! I think she would be conditioned to be hyperfeminine because of the cult and she might not even be sure if she LIKES girly things because she likes them or because she thinks she has to. I feel like she'd have a lot of room to experiment with her new family, like different clothing styles, different hairstyles, maybe she finds her own version of femininity that SHE LIKES and it really doesn't involve anything pertaining to romance or babies.
She still likes pink I think, because she has room to like it in a healthy way now. Skirts are okay, she likes how spinny they are, but she can wear pants and shorts now whenever she wants to, which she wasn't allowed to before. I think she wears the opposite of all white now, like everything is crazy colors and really childish because she doesn't want to be reminded of her cult outfit (I feel like Duck would let her burn it in the backyard when she felt emotionally strong enough to do so)
I think it would be really really interesting to see how she reclaims her life for HERSELF not for what the cult told her she had to be. She's got more room to be childish now, and be as interested in things the cult deemed masculine, and even feminine things the cult disliked, (idk like. feminism I guess I'm not super well-versed on cult opinions of women)
She still loves nature, and flowers and all the beautiful things in the world, the real world, not Malcolm's fake cloud world. She can appreciate real life now, even though pain and hurt may come with it.
She's afraid of butterflies for a long time, obviously, but eventually, she even finds the beauty in them too after Green explains to her about caterpillars and cocoons and butterflies and how amazing their metamorphosis is. She can learn that just because one of the people that hurt her was part of a specific group, it doesn't mean every member of that group is bad. And it helps her unlearn the cults brainwashing about how all gay people are bad or only members of the cult are good.
Literally the original clump are the teachers now. That's character development baby.
