Snufkin

スナフキン

Snufkin (known as Snusmumriken in the original Swedish and Nuuskamuikkunen in Finnish) is a character in the Moomin book series by Finnish author Tove Jansson.
He is Moomintroll's best friend, traveling south every winter and returning in the spring. Snufkin is the son of the Mymble and the Joxter, making him the half-brother of the Mymble's daughter and Little My. An adventurer and vagabond, he is admired by those who are small and shy.
Snufkin wears old green clothes and a wide-brimmed hat he has possessed since birth. He lives in a tent, smokes a pipe, and plays the harmonica. Snufkin also harbors a strong dislike for authority figures, such as the Park Keeper, along with the numerous regulation signs and fences the latter installs; consequently, he is often regarded as an anarchist. On one occasion, he sabotaged the Park Keeper by planting Hattifatteners in his garden, which grew and drove him out.
Snufkin prefers freely growing foliage to fenced-in lawns. He keeps as few worldly possessions as possible, viewing them as a burden, and finds greater happiness in keeping the memory of a thing than the thing itself. This aspect of his personality contrasts with the character of Sniff.
