Characters
Fuzzy
Fuzzy is married to Muddler and she is Sniff’s mother. Fuzzy got married rather quickly, to a friend from Moominpappa’s youth. The wedding was actually put together so quickly, that most of the guests weren’t able to arrive on time. Like her husband, Fuzzy collects buttons as well. With her pointy ears and long tail she looks quite a lot like Sniff.
