Characters
Little My
Little My lives in the Moomin house and is a part of the Moomin family, even though she is not really related to the Moomins. Mymble older is her mother, Mymble her sister, and Snufkin his half-brother. In spite of her small size, Little My is very courageous, fearless and brave. Little My is known for being quite feisty and having a sharp sense of humour. Little My always makes her own decisions and acts as she sees fit. She doesn’t let any kind of mayhem disturb her, and loves spending time in narrow and unusual places that most can’t even fit into. Little My is also very curious, she loves secrets and is good at keeping them. Little My has an orange bun of hair and a red dress. Little My first appeared in Tove Jansson’s book The Memoirs of Moominpappa.
Stinky
Stinky is known as a mischievous and snappy character, who very much enjoys cheating and stealing. Even though he is caught every time, he keeps stealing; that is his nature though he is not mean by nature. Because of his behaviour, Stinky is not very popular among the inhabitants of Moominvalley. The Moomins treat him surprisingly gently. Being an outsider doesn’t seem to bother Stinky, on the contrary, he is quite proud of his reputation. He is rarely invited to come on picnics or events, but he might come and crash the party anyway. The dark and hairy Stinky first appeared in Tove Jansson’s first comic about Moomintroll.
