Snufkin

Snufkin (Snusmumriken, Nuuskamuikkunen)

Snufkin is Moomintroll's best friend, while the Moomins are hibernating Snufkin travels south every Winter and returns in the Spring.

He is the son of the Mymble and Joxter, and is half-brother to the Mymble's daughter Little My.

Snufkin always wears a green outfit and hat with a feather in it, which he has had since birth.

He lives in a tent, smokes a pipe and plays the harmonica.

Snufkin is a vagabond and an adventurer. He also follows a philosophy similar to a Buddhist Monk: keeping as few worldly possessions as possible, seeing them as a burden and being happier keeping the memory of a thing then the thing itself (in contrast to his friend Sniff).
