I wanted my penguin to have a unique personality or an outfit that was easily recognizable. I first wanted to dress up as a miner, but I didn't like how it turned out. Finally, I dressed up as a fisherman, since Ice Fishing used to be one of my favorite minigames as a child.
My first pin was the Tropical Bird Pin, which was hidden in the Gift Shop during the Island Adventure Party 2011, which was also the first party that I experienced.
