Friends, we are now in the throes of fall. And as the leaves begin to fall in Cincinnati, Ohio, a new autumnal queen has emerged: Fiona the hippo.
Fiona the hippo has been the queen of many realms: eating lettuce, being cute, taking showers, family reunions. But this might be her most adorable domain of all.

More importantly, though, it's when Fiona got a pumpkin and looked really cute eating it.
(Fiona and her family appear at around the 1:20 mark.)
And Fiona's autumnal influence doesn't stop there. On Wednesday, a Fiona stan named Harry McCane posted a photo of his beautiful Fiona jack-o'-lantern, which he carved for a contest at work.
McCane came in second place, but that's okay -- Fiona would have ranked him #1 and that's all that matters.
What wonders, then, will Fiona have in store for Thanksgiving? Will she run a Turkey Trot? Will she eat a green bean casserole? Will she inspire a Fiona-shaped pumpkin pie? Whatever the queen's plans, we're sure they will be flawless.
