“Now all you have to do is sleep. I shall stand guard outside all night, so there’s no need for you to be afraid”

(Moominpappa at Sea, 1965) 

Moominpappa is probably one of the most known characters in Moomin books. He is truly the protagonist of his own life—and what a life it has been! After his adventurous youth, it is no surprise that he still keeps longing for novelty, excitement, and the good old days. However, the adventures are nowhere near as important as the time spent with his spouse, Moominmamma, and son, Moomintroll. Together, they live in the Moominhouse that Moominpappa has, of course, built from scratch with his own paws, and whoever lives or visits the house, he will take good care of. Moominpappa usually wears a stylish cylinder hat for both everyday activities and festive occasions that he often arranges for his friends. 

Regardless of their educational background, a real-life moominpappa holds a master’s degree in the art of living—throughout their adventures, they have gained enough knowledge and skills to tackle challenges of any possible field. Occasionally, their endless longing for excitement might cause restlessness, but a big accomplishment or the soothing voice of moominmamma might calm their nervous mind. As an expert of any field, they often obtain the role of a consultant or advisor, regardless of their actual profession. And after a long and prosperous career, they can be found at a local cafeteria where they spend their days discussing important things with fellow moominpappas.
