contents We identify type-preserving representations $ϕ: π_1(Σ)\to \mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ of the fundamental group of every punctured surface $Σ= Σ_{g,p}$ that are not Fuchsian yet send all non-peripheral simple closed curves to hyperbolic elements, which give a negative answer to a question of Bowditch. These representations have relative Euler class $e(ϕ) = \pm (χ(Σ) + 1)$, and their $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$-conjugacy classes form a full-measure subset of $2p$ connected components of the relative character variety. We further show that, while these representations are not Fuchsian, their restrictions to certain subsurfaces of $Σ$ are Fuchsian.
