She first appears in the fourth book,\u00a0The Exploits of Moominpappa\u00a0(1950). She is a small, determined and fiercely independent\u00a0Mymble. When she wants something done, she does it straight away. She is very aggressive, mischievous to a fault and totally disrespectful, but can be a good friend when she wants to. She has a brash personality. She is the Mymble&#8217;s Daughter&#8217;s younger sister. She is eventually adopted by the Moomin family.<\/p>\n<p>The name Little My originated from the twelfth letter of the\u00a0Greek alphabet:\u00a0\u03bc\u00a0(Mu) &#8211; transliterated as\u00a0<em>my<\/em>\u00a0and pronounced\u00a0[my]\u00a0in Swedish.\u00a0In the metric system, lowercase mu\u00a0\u03bc, meaning &#8220;one-millionth&#8221;, represents the prefix &#8220;micro-&#8220;, from the\u00a0Greek\u00a0\u03bc\u03b9\u03ba\u03c1\u03cc\u03c2\u00a0(<em>mikr\u00f3s<\/em>), meaning &#8220;small&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The popularity of the character has led to the personal name\u00a0<em>My<\/em>\u00a0being borne by more than 7600 women and girls in Sweden.<\/p>\n<h2>Personality<\/h2>\n<p>Little My is a very abrasive person, and she almost always succeeds in persuading her listener or discussion partner.

She makes a personal attack on the person she is having the discussion with or about,\u00a0she state her own nonducumented conclusions\u00a0she exaggerate the argument of her opponents to ridicule them,\u00a0and she uses nonverbal effects to show the inferiority of her opponent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Little My\u00a0(Swedish:\u00a0Lilla My\u00a0&#8211; literally: &#8220;little mu&#8221;) is a character in the\u00a0Moomin\u00a0series of books by\u00a0Tove Jansson.
