Fun Fact:

Misabel originally appeared in the Moomin comic strip in 1956. Her character was inspired by the traditional household servants in Finland, who often had strict rules about cleanliness. In contrast, the Moomins' relaxed attitude toward life turns Misabel’s world upside down—highlighting Tove Jansson’s signature theme of embracing individuality and imperfection.
