**Paris** (born 1946) is a French womble who currently resides at the Paris Burrow, a womble burrow located in Paris, France. He was born at the Paris Burrow in 1946 and has resided there his entire life. Paris was named for the city of his birth; the capital of France and what was at the time a major European centre of finance, diplomacy, commerce, fashion, science and arts. The city itself was named for the Parisii tribe, who were early inhabitants of the city which would later be named for them. The exact origin of the word “Parisii” is unknown, but it may mean “the makers” or “the commanders”. Between the late 1950s and 2021, Paris served as the Head of the Clean Canal Taskforce, as such, his duty was to ensure the cleanliness of Paris’s many canals, which, due to their large number, was a difficult and complex task. At the beginning of his tenure as Head of the Clean Canal Taskforce, Paris cleaned the canals himself, along with a small team, but by 2000, he commanded a large team of canal-cleaning wombles, who patrolled the canals and extracted large amounts of rubbish on a daily basis. In the 1980s, Paris noticed a large amount of bulky items being thrown in the canals, so he established the LRRD (Large Rubbish Removal Division) of the CCTF (Clean Canal Taskforce). The LRRD utilised a number of inventions from other burrows, including an invention made by British womble Wellington, which was designed the dredge out any bulky items of litter from the canals. The invention worked by being attached to a boat and grappling the items, which could then be dragged out using pulleys and placed on motorised wagons to be taken back to the Paris Burrow.

Paris, when he was a young womble in the 1950s, met Madame Cholet when she lived in the Paris Burrow for several years from the 1940s to the mid 1950s. As she left no later than 1955, Paris was not that well acquainted with her, but likely met her when she visited their mutual friend Normandy in the next decades. Paris, along with over 300 other wombles from the Paris Burrow, attended the Wimbledon Burrow New Year 2000 Party hosted by Great Uncle Bulgaria. Since 2000, Paris has visited the Wimbledon Burrow on multiple occasions and has often seen Madame Cholet when she visited the Paris burrow. In mid 2021, Paris ceased to be Head of the Clean Canal Taskforce, after the organisation was dissolved due to its obsolescence, due to all litter being removed from the Parisian canals. During his tenure as Head of the Clean Canal Taskforce, Paris greatly improved the conditions of the Parisian canals, which greatly helped fish and other marine animals, who were previously endangered, injured and possibly killed by the large amount of litter present in the water.

In March 2021, after Jerusalem became world leader, there was a huge reduction in the amount of litter dropped worldwide due to Jerusalem’s strict anti-littering polices. To combat littering, Jerusalem established the ALTF (Anti-Litter Taskforce), an organisation dedicated to killing litterers. After the establishment of the worldwide ALTF, Paris remained as Head of the CCTF, but began to work very closely with ALTF members, some of whom joined the CCTF. Paris was instructed by Jerusalem to start training CCTF members in firearm operating and battle and the CCTF has been given orders to shoot dead anyone seen littering in or near the canals. These orders were put into practice and the CCTF began to shoot and kill those littering in or near Paris’s canals. This practice continued for around four months, until all those who would litter were killed. After this, the CCTF was dissolved as it was now obsolete. Paris is a well-respected womble in his burrow and France as a whole. In April 2021, he was appointed as a government advisor by Jerusalem. As a government advisor, Paris has advised Jerusalem in several important events, including the Scottish Wombles’ War, the Attempted Destruction of Earth by The Old Tomato and the Florg War and has contributed to several government projects, including the Reconstruction Project, the Past Extraterrestrial Species Resurrection Project and the Theoretical Universe Project. In April 2021, Paris was appointed to the Adjudication Council alongside Mrs Ultra Ultra Ultra Time Hamster and Maude (born 1904). The Adjudication Council was an organisation aiming to institute government reforms, which were called for after the Dragon War resulted in 20,000 citizens being consumed by Dragons, due to government mismanagement. It provided a way for citizens to influence government policy and eventually led to the government taking action against the highly violent and often illegal practises of the Anti-Litter Taskforce-Scottish Division. Paris remained on the Adjudication Council for the entirety of its existence, from April 2021 to June 2021, when it was abolished after the reforms had been instituted.
