Naomi is a marine biologist who Ted flirted with at a Halloween party on the roof of his apartment in 2001.

Relationship with TedEdit

Season 1Edit

They had an instant connection, but unfortunately Ted lost her phone number, so they never had the opportunity to date, and her identity remained a mystery. Since they never learned her name, the gang was forced to refer to her as "The Slutty Pumpkin", due to the strategically carved pumpkin costume she wore at the party.

In an attempt to find her again, Ted spent the next few years attending the Halloween party on his roof, wearing the same costume (a "Hanging Chad") in the hopes she'd make another appearance. Sadly, he was unsuccessful, and eventually he stopped trying. (Slutty Pumpkin)

Season 7Edit

Her first appearance was in The Slutty Pumpkin Returns. Ted meets Naomi again and they started dating right away. Ted immediately realizes he doesn't love her at all, but can't bring himself to end the relationship so easily after finally finding "The Slutty Pumpkin" girl. When Ted decides that he needs to break up with Naomi, he's stunned to see she's wearing the slutty pumpkin costume and says that he loves her. They arrive at the Halloween party on the roof wearing the costumes they wore when they first met. When Naomi makes the Tootsie Roll drink, she confesses that she found their relationship as awkward as Ted did, but also didn't want to end it after waiting so long to meet him and tried to force him to break up with her by acting strangely. They break up amicably.
