List of Moomin characters

The Moomin family

  • Moomintroll (Swedish: Mumintrollet – invented mumin + troll, "troll"; also simply Moomin) – the main character of most of the books, a spirited troll with a keen sense of adventure and fun. Moomin lives life fully, and views the world with a feeling of wonderment for such simple pleasures as collecting stones and shells. As gullible as he is enthusiastic, he is also naïve and extremely good-natured. He is in love with Snorkmaiden. In the cartoon strip he finds himself beset by endless problems, and is almost always unhappy, though this is by no means the case in the books.
  • Moominmamma (Swedish: Muminmamman) – the mother of Moomintroll. She very rarely gets cross and takes even the most distressing circumstances (such as the arrival of a comet, or being washed away by a flood) in her stride. Moominmamma would permit anything to her child and his friends, even smoking (she says it's good for the stomach). Moominmamma is almost never without her handbag, which contains essentials like woolly socks, tummy powder, and bark. She makes bark boats every summer, and the first one goes to her favorite.
