Fathead

An elderly opossum with arthritis. She has an adoptive daughter, Pancake.

She's traveled all her life, she and Pancake rarely stay in one place for long. Fathead has been to the place where persimmon trees grow for four times, and is worried this year may be her last, so she asks Pancake to bring her persimmons since she's too slow to walk the same pace she used to.

The source of Fathead's name is self-evident, she has a big round head. (I was going to name her Meathead but I ended up with Fathead instead.)
