## Description

Moomintroll is a round, fuzzy, white creature called a Moomin. He has upright, pointed ears, short legs and arms, small feet, and a long tufted tail. Between his ears he has a section of fur that is slightly longer than the rest. He has round blue eyes that, according to Snorkmaiden, are small and kind.

He is slightly shorter than his parents and doesn't wear any clothes.

## Personality

Moomintroll is kind, though he can also be moody and impatient, especially when dealing with Little My and her antics, as well as Sniff. He's compassionate and cares deeply for his friends, even if they do bother him sometimes.

He can be somewhat dense and short-tempered and is very determined in general, enjoying impressing his best friends with his actions, such as trying to impress Snorkmaiden with nonexistent skiing skills or trying to impress Snufkin with his discovery of the last dragon in the world.

He is very close to both of his parents who take care of him.

## Relationships

### Moominmamma

Moominmamma is Moomintroll's mother, who he lives with. His relationship with her is positive and she takes care of him, cooking him and her family meals and comforting him when he's upset. She can be somewhat overbearing, conflicting with Moomintroll's growing desire to become more independent.

### Moominpappa

Moominpappa is Moomintroll's father, who he lives with. His relationship with him is positive. Moominpappa helps him write and teaches him about his ancestry, including behavior and innate characteristics. He sometimes takes Moomintroll fishing with him when they need to provide for their family. Moominpappa can be somewhat nosy, which annoys Moomintroll.

### Snorkmaiden

Snorkmaiden is Moomintroll's (implied) 2nd best friend, falling just behind Snufkin and just ahead of Sniff. The two seem to have a romantic relationship, often exchanging compliments with one another and going on what seem to be dates. Snorkmaiden even implies that she'd like to have kids with Moomintroll one day and that the two can't keep each other from the world yet as it isn't their time. Moomintroll and Snorkmaiden sometimes rub noses, which can easily be seen as their version of a kiss. However, Snorkmaiden can be very overbearing with a short temper, sometimes leaving Moomintroll confused as to what he's done wrong.

### Snufkin

Snufkin is Moomintroll's best friend and the two are very close. Moomintroll admires Snufkin to a high degree and frequently tries to impress him and opening up about his problems around him. When a situation where Moomintroll may not see Snufkin again arises, Moomintroll gets very upset, worrying about seeing him again. Snufkin comes to Moominvalley every spring, and when spring comes, Moomintroll immediately waits for him and even accidentally calls Snorkmaiden Snufkin shortly after he begins waiting for Snufkin. He thinks every noise is Snufkin, much to the chagrin of Snorkmaiden.

### Sniff

Sniff is Moomintroll's 3rd best friend. He frequently annoys Moomintroll, though the two still maintain a positive relationship. He asks for Sniff's company when he is afraid of being home alone.

### Little My

Little My is a younger sister figure to Moomintroll, picking on him and frequently asserting herself into situations where she was not invited. The two appear to have a sibling rivalry of sorts, clowning on each other in a friendly manner. However, Little My once goes too far in her teasing and Moomintroll writes a letter to her mother to take her away, though regrets it soon thereafter.

## Trivia

* Due to scheduling issues, Moomintroll will be voiced by Jack Rowan in season 3 and onwards.
