Pansy's theme is less developed than other character themes in the film. It is introduced in K-217, when Pansy is seen running through the forest, with a simple identifying motive in F Minor: 5-5-6-5-4-3-4-5 (C-C-D♭-C-B♭-A♭-B♭-C). This exact same motive appears again in K-221, when Bulma encounters Pansy.
The theme's final iteration is in K-230, but it has a slight twist at the end of the phrase: 5-5-6-5-4-3-2-3-1. This phrase continues into a more developed melody that is not used in other tracks, and as Pansy tells the story of her village, Gourmeth's theme is woven in underneath the new melody.
