Eeyore
Eeyore is a delightfully dismal donkey. Eeyore doesn't see himself as gloomy -- he just has realistic expectations. He expects nothing from anybody, so whenever his friends do come to his aid his expectations are met beyond his realistic expectations, and he is sincerely grateful. Eeyore's tiny bright pink bow on his tail, the one hint of color against his gray, is a perfect symbol of the kernel of joy that occasionally surfaces in Eeyore. Though he may pretend he's helping because there's nothing better to do -- make no mistake, Eeyore is always there for his friends.
