[edit] Puddleglum

Puddleglum is a character who appears in The Silver Chair in which he is a principal character. He is an uncommonly cheerful Marsh-wiggle; however Marsh-wiggles are most well-known for their pessimistic views on life. Thus a Marsh-wiggle's idea of cheerfulness is still a rather gloomy personality, and as such Eustace Scrubb and Jill Pole, fellow protagonists, initially thought of Puddleglum as a "wet blanket". He first appears in chapter 5 of The Silver Chair, where he introduces himself by saying, "Puddleglum's my name. But it doesn't matter if you forget it."
