Biography[edit | edit source]

Mr. Mean appears as a tall thin blue human character with a sad expression on his face and a yellow nose. Akin to his name, he was very mean and he would only care for himself.

Mr. Mean lives in a house that could have been looked after well but has instead never been painting, has holes in the ceiling and broken windows. It also hasn't been furnished inside, with no pictures, carpet, pictures or fires.

In his book, a wizard taught him to be kinder by punishing him for every wrong doing until he started to care more for others and look after his house, although he still only gave his brother two pieces of coal (one more than last Christmas) for Christmas.
