Pashmina

Pashmina (マフラーちゃん, Mafurā-chan) is a hamster with a love of scarves. She is rarely seen without one. She is best friends with Penelope, and is like a sister to her. Pashmina is a very sweet and humble hamster. She is known to keep a sister-like bond with Penelope, she also seems to have a fondness for scarves and the color pink.

Character
Owned by June. Pashmina is considered to be a very maternal Ham-Ham, as she takes care of Penelope. She loves the color pink and always wears her pink scarf. She is often disturbed when Howdy and Dexterfight over her to win her heart; she believes that she is too young to develop a crush. She does not seem to notice them anyway (sometimes acting like a mediator for them). Sky Ham also had a crush on her, but that died out. She is not a very talkative character but is quite wise, and is not really ever wrong when giving advice. She is extremely gentle and caring to all hamsters, and treats some as if she were their mother, without being patronizing. A notable instance isBarrette, which is apparent in Knitting Barrette. As well as Penelope, she typical hangs around with other girls, notablyBijou and Sandy.

Penelope
Pashmina and Penelope are always together. There are few instances where they are separated. Pashmina is basically a mother to Penelope, as seen in Watching Over Cute Penelope, where Penelope is very reluctant to let Pashmina go, and in Knitting Barrette, where Pashmina is out again and Barrette has to watch over Penelope instead, which Penelope is of course upset about, and misses her dearly throughout the episode.

Bijou and Sandy
Along with Penelope, these are Pashmina's best friends. They are always seen together, as a girl-only group. They often tease the boys together and say how boys are always getting into trouble, among other things. They seem to understand each other's feelings well, as Pashmina and Bijou know about Sandy's feelings for Maxwell, and she and Sandy also know about Bijou's crush on Hamtaro.

Maxwell and Panda
It is unknown how or where they met, but in Calling All Ham-Hams!, Pashmina invites Maxwell, Pandaand Sandy to the Clubhouse. She rarely interacted with them however throughout the show. (Apart fromMaxwell at times when she helped Sandy in their relationship).

Howdy and Dexter
Howdy and Dexter often fight between each other to win over Pashmina. She tends to ignore them or just not notice, however. This mainly happens during Seasons 1 through 4. Afterwards, it seems to gradually be forgotten. In Pashmina's Present, they compete with each other to get the best present for Pashmina. They both enlist in Hamtaro's assistance and then are angry when they find out he is taking both sides.
