Mumi

Mumi is a cow and she is the heart of the group. Sweet, empathetic and protective, she is the one who notices before anyone else that someone is not okay, and the one who comes over quietly. Her way of handling things is different from Capi’s: where he builds a plan, she asks how you are. She gives affection and emotional security to the others, and does something that counts for a great deal in a group of children, which is noticing whoever got left out. Her world is India, and from there she brings a way of making the day go calmer.
