PUZZLE #391: Flower Power 6

PUZZLE #391
FLOWER POWER 6

One of the clues in this puzzle contains a word suggested by Patron M. Sean Molley. Support me on Patreon at $15 or more per month to suggest one word or phrase for me to put into a puzzle every month!

The answers to this petaled puzzle will go in a curve from the number on the outside to the center of the flower. Each number in the flower will have two 5-letter answers, one going in a clockwise direction, and the other going in a counterclockwise direction.

Once you're done, look through the adjacent numbered petals to find two more words (going either clockwise or counterclockwise). These words make up the FINAL ANSWER: A fictional character and the animated movie that she comes from


CLOCKWISE
1) Six _____ America (theme park near Washington, D.C.)
2) Japanese watch company
3) Basic fencing thrust
4) Pound signs are made up of four of these
5) Rowed a rowboat
6) Rocksteady from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, e.g. (HINT: His "nose" is a horn)
7) Dull, unoriginal, and jejune
8) Nickname for a golfer with an "army"
9) Delirious with delight
10) They're inserted into outlets
11) Law & _____ (NBC series revived in 2022)

13) Sits for a snapshot
14) Alaska neighbor
15) Expert on impersonation
16) "I guess it wasn't _____ to be"
17) Window curtain
18) Fountain featured in the movie Roman Holiday

3) Vacate the premises
4) Mario & _____: Bowser's Inside Story (Nintendo DS game)
5) Animal sounds heard in the Beatles song "Piggies"
6) 2011 Western film about a chameleon in a town named Dirt
7) Number on the "B" and "C" tiles in Scrabble
8) Ram among the stars
9) Slide along a rail on a skateboard's board
10) 1970s Ford car with a reputation for exploding in rear-end collisions
11) Pop song released over a half-century ago, say
12) Puritanical sort
13) A bit on the chubby side
14) Neckwear for oxen?
15) Pondering person
16) Wired up for an interview, perhaps

Once you think you know what the FINAL ANSWER is, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or even ask for a hint, though you'll be marked as having used one if you do so) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a link to a .PDF version which you can print out!
