The Snork Maiden is a character in the Moomin series of books by Finnish author Tove Jansson. She is a member of the species known as Snorks, and is the sister of the Snork and Moomintroll's beloved, although their relationship is very innocent. The Snork Maiden has a curly fringe of hair at the front of her head, of which she is very proud. She is very loyal to her friends and somewhat emotional. All Snorks change colour with their moods, although this is only mentioned in two books, Comet in Moominland and (very briefly) Finn Family Moomintroll.

[edit] Adaptations

In the various adaptations of the books, Snork Maiden is depicted. In the 1990s Japanese animated Moomin series, she is given a very prominent role in most episodes, which is different from the books.
