A romantic moodboard of Kitty Softpaws and Dulcinea (Soft and Sweet).
I thought I'd share my headcanon for this ship for Pride Month. Okie, in my headcanon based on the Shrekverse, PIB 2011, and TAOPIB, both Kitty and Dulcinea developed feelings for each other before and after they parted ways with their friend Puss.
So Kitty and Dulcinea are both bisexual, and they are my OTP along with my other OTP, Puss in Boots x Honey Lemon (BH6). I've been shipping Soft and Sweet since 2015.
I love to think that they joke with each other about dating the same guy, and I kinda like to base their relationship dynamic on Korra x Asami, Rapunzel x Cassandra (yes, I am a Rapssandra/Cassunzel shipper), and Charlie x Vaggie (from the pilot, not the show).

Just a new headcanon, that I've been workshopping ever since I watched The Last Wish.
For those who don't know, El Guante Blanco, Duckling, and Dulcinea are from "The Adventures of Puss in Boots."
Dulcinea has been friends with Puss and Kitty for years in my headcanon, so she was Kitty's maid of honor at their wedding.
Dulcinea had feelings for both Puss and Kitty but didn't want to jeopardize their friendship or the developing romance between them. Dulcinea never had a female friend that she was close to, so she's very thankful to be in Kitty's corner and that Kitty allows herself to be vulnerable with her because she knows how hard it is for Kitty to let others in. Kitty only lets Dulcinea call her Kit, and Dulcinea lets her call her Nea in return.
And another thing: in "The Adventures of Puss in Boots," El Guante Blanco adopts the Ugly Duckling, calls her Duckie, and teaches her the same things he taught Puss. So, in my headcanon, when Kitty reunites with her long-lost father, she discovers that she has a little sister now. In contrast to Puss and Duckie, Kitty and Duckie get along well, and Duckie immediately loved her new big sister. And of course, for Kitty, it took a long time for her to trust and forgive her father and warm up to him and Duckie. So, when she didn't show up to her own wedding because she was worried Puss wouldn't be there, Guante, Duckie, and Dulcinea found her and consoled her. They convinced Kitty to come with them and be their family because they knew that Kitty was in a bad place right now and she needed some familial TLC.
So, Kitty went off with Guante, Duckie, and Dulcinea and didn't look back. Over time, trailblazing with her father, sister, and Dulcinea, Kitty started to get a sense of something that she didn't even know that she missed—it was her sense of self-worth. She began to develop feelings for Dulcinea but felt unsure. Dulcinea empathically noticed Kitty beginning to distance herself from her, and one night she took a hold of Kitty's paws, touched her forehead with hers, and told her, "It's okay."
