Pre-Made PFP Options
When first using Scratch, people (often young children) may feel intimidated by the idea of finding a pfp, or lack the ability to find a good quality one. Having a nice profile picture could enhance their Scratch experience, and help to motivate them as they continue to 'imagine, programme share'. Though I appreciate that the New Scratcher profile picture is already innovative and well-made, I feel that having options for profile pictures as well as being able to create your own could make Scratch a slightly better place.
My plan is that when you hover over your pfp, below where it displays the word ‘change’ it could display ‘choose’. If clicked, the user would be prompted to select the image that they want, then be sent back to their profile. Also, instead of creating entirely new art for the profile pictures, which as an artist myself I understand could be extremely time consuming, perhaps you could reuse the images of sprites that you see in the Scratch Library and adapt them into pfps.
Thank you for reading, Scratch on!

Pre-Made PFP Options
-snip-
Pros:
help scratchers find pfps
saves time
Cons:
scratchers can get bored
scratchers may get worried they can't set there own pfp
scratcher may not like the pfps and they can't get there own
so no support because it may worry more experienced scratchers and they can get bored of them easily
