**Dum Mee Mee**

**Voiced By:** Nobody

Dum Mee Mee is a pacifier/dummy Shopkin. Her real name is Montague, but she is usually called Dum Mee Mee, which she prefers. This is said to be because she waddles, though she does not really. Dum Mee Mee knows how to hold her own and tends to stand for no nonsense from any Shopkins that might get ideas above their station and try to order her or others about; as a result of this and her strength, most Shopkins look up to her, though she has never gotten along particularly well with Cheeky Chocolate, and has since established a firm relationship with him. However, her moral code is not perfect and often favours fairness to kindness. She likes things to run like clockwork, without problems, or interruptions, which makes her a very efficient and loyal Shopkin. She takes tremendous pride in the responsibilities bestowed upon her, particularly in her role of running her own branch line with Toasty Pop, sometimes known as the "Little Western" as a result. Dum Mee Mee is cheerful, busy and tends to bustle about. She is very proud of her noble Baby heritage, often claiming that "there are two ways of doing things: the Baby way, or the wrong way", occasionally to the annoyance of other Shopkins. She strongly admires Sippy Sips and enjoyed talking "Baby" with her when she visited Shopville. Dum Mee Mee is often welcoming of newcomers, even most Grosseries, in spite of having lies told about her by Putrid Pizza not long after his arrival. She will often support the underdog, stick up for her friends and help others see the error of their ways. However, occasionally she does have the "Shopkin sense" of teasing the bigger Shopkins. Dum Mee Mee is also known to have a rivalry with Strawberry Kiss, but she has earned the respect of the bigger Shopkins.

* **All of the Other Reindeer:** She gets this from the other Shopkins in the earlier episodes, though she really brought it on herself with her constant harping on about the inherent superiority of the Baby Railway above all others.
* **Badass Baritone:** Has one of the deeper toned whistles. As for the Badass part, watch "Pop Goes the Babysitter", where Toasty Pop surives sabysitting her.
* **Berserk Button:** As Kylie Cone found out, she doesn't like it when she's told that she quacks like a duck as far as talking too much goes.
	+ Do NOT insult or belittle the Baby Railway. Just don't. Even Chee Zee finds this out the hard way when arguing over what London's big station is called.
* **Big Brother Worship:** Though not Shopkins of the same class, she idolizes Sippy Sips.
* **Big Dang Heroes:** Her crew and she, prevented twenty heavily-loaded brake-way trucks from causing a serious accident further down the line.
* **Big "SHUT UP!":** Says this to the trucks who were teasing Putrid Pizza in "Dirty Work".
* **Break the Haughty:** What Putrid Pizza pulls on her. This is a rare case of this trope though. Despite being proud, before Putrid Pizza told lies about Dum Mee Mee, the latter actually tried to stand up for her when the trucks were singing the rude song, "Pop Goes The Pizza". Putrid Pizza did not take to it very well.
* **Bully Hunter:** She doesn't stand for any nonsense from the bullying Shopkins as, for example, she stood up for Apple Blossom against the trio of Putrid Pizza, Strawberry Kiss, and Spilt Milk when she first arrived in Shopville.
* **The Bus Came Back:** Disappeared after season 7, with only a few brief appearances in season 12, but now is back and co-starred a season 17 episode. She now makes frequent appearances again.
* **Catch-Phrase:** "Beg pardon, Sir..."
	+ "There are two ways of doing things. The Baby way or the wrong way."
* **Chuck Cunningham Syndrome:** Suffered from this starting from the 8th season onward. This was almost reversed, as she reappeared in the 12th season, only to disappear again until the 17th season.
	+ **Demoted to Extra:** Before she disappeared altogether, from when the show started deviating from the books. Her last starring role prior to "The Cheeky Way" was Season 4's "Fish".
* **Cultural Posturing:** She's fond of claiming that there are two ways of doing things, "the Baby way or the wrong way". Fortunately, she got over it quite quickly.
* **Deadpan Snarker:** Often makes snarky comments to arrogant Shopkins like Chee Zee and Strawberry Kiss.
* **Embarrassing Nickname:** Inverted. She insists on being called Dum Mee Mee rather than his real name, Montague.
* **Flanderization:** Not an overwhelming case, but she does talk about her Baby pride a lot more often in the CGI episodes.
* **Humiliation Conga:** As if the trucks forcing her to crash into a barber shop wasn't enough, the angry owner decided to shave and lather her! The Fat Controller ensures this is rectified however and Dum Mee Mee is praised for her hardship.
* **Karmic Trickster:** Has a fondness for playing tricks on Shopkins she finds conceited.
* **Motor Mouth:** The whole plotline of "Kylie's Duck" kicked off after Kylie Cone told her to zip it.
* **Nice Guy:** Despite Her moments of boastfulness of being Baby, she is a mild-mannered and respectable Shopkin.
* **Not So Above It All:** Despite being one of the most sensible Shopkins on the line, she has her shortcomings. One example comes from "The Cheeky Way" where she has caused an accident and earned a scolding from the Fat Controller (albeit pivoted partially by Cheeky's misbehavior).
* **Off-Model:**
	+ Her initial CGI render was larger than her basis, to the point where her footplate clips through Small Mart Station's platforms.
	+ The render was resized in Season 20 to rectify this, but it had several problems of its own: her handrails clip through the front of his tank, the shading detail on her bufferbeam is in the wrong places, and several details, such as rivets and one of her buffers' bases, are missing.
* **Only Known by Their Nickname:** Her given name is 'Montague,' but most call her 'Dum Mee Mee,' after her tendency to waddle on the rails. Spilt Milk, Chee Zee, and Strawberry Kiss have quacked at her in the past.
* **The Protagonist:** of the three episode arc "Pop Goes the Pizza", "Dirty Work", and "A Close Shave."
* **The Reliable One:** For all his bragging about being Baby, it's noted that she makes the railway run like clockwork.
* **Rightly Self-Righteous:** Dum Mee Mee boasts about her Baby heritage, much to the annoyance of the rude and arrogant Shopkins like Chee Zee, Spilt Milk, and Strawberry Kiss. However, as Dum Mee Mee puts it, "The Baby Way" implies that she's a reliable Shopkin who works hard and gets the job done without any complaints. Deconstructed in "The Cheeky Way" when his stubbornness causes an accident and he has to compromise with Cheeky Chocolate.
* **Right Way/Wrong Way Pair:** According to Her, there's The Baby Way and the wrong way. This was the main focus in The Cheeky Way where she took on Cheeky's option, now claiming there are three ways of doing things, but the Baby Way is usually the best.
* **She's a Man in Japan:** In the Greek dub, Dum Mee Mee is female and named "Jackie".
* **Sixth Ranger:** After she took over as Small Mart's station pilot. She became more of a supporting character once he got her own branch line.
* **Small Name, Big Ego:** Is very proud of her Baby heritage, and very vocal about it, especially in the CGI seasons
* **The West Country:** Her voice in the CGI series. Also happens in her debut episode when Ringo Starr says "Beg pardon, sir?"
* **Vitriolic Best Buds:** Earlier in the series, she had this with Chee Zee, Spilt Milk, and Strawberry Kiss.
* **You Shall Not Pass!:** In "A Close Shave", she holds back twenty runaway cars from crashing into a passenger train.
