Here's one of my better pictures. Not that it matters...

Hello.

My name is Eeyore. Not that it matters much. I just slump around the Hundred Acre Wood, eating thistles and watching clouds go by. Not much else to say about me, since I'm not all that interesting. Oh, well. Might as well just sit back and let the day play out like it is.

Wait, you're still here. You sure you want to hear more about me?

Alright, but it's not very interesting.

I'm a donkey who lives in the Hundred Acre Wood, under a little pile of sticks I call my home. It's not much, but it gives me shelter. Most of my days, when Christopher Robin isn't around, I usually hang around with Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, Kanga, Roo, Owl, and occasionally Gopher. Not that they ever notice me...

Oh, and there was something about being made by a guy named A.A. Milne. Then somebody named Walt Disney came along and made me more famous.

Like I said, there's not much to tell...

But, if you want, I do have an entire list of tropes that apply to me down below. Go ahead and read them. If you want. I don't care...


  • Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: These days, people remember that I have a bow on my tail. Which I always lose. But it's okay; someone will find it. Eventually.
  • Adaptational Nice Guy: I'm told that the version of me from the books isn't as nice. That's too bad. I would have liked to have someone to talk to.
  • The Big Guy: I'm not as tall as the rest of the gang, but I am pretty big for my size. Bigger than even Pooh after he's had too much honey. He's probably stuffed himself silly again.
  • Birthday Episode: Pooh and Piglet once spent my entire birthday giving me presents. That's awfully nice of them. Thanks for noticing me...
  • The Chew Toy: Nothing ever seems to go right for me. But that's okay; I just take it like it is.
  • Civilized Animal: I'm not like some of those other guys on this website. I at least live in a home.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Maybe it's just me, but I just see things as they are. Like the time lost Christopher Robin's very important papers. It was his fault. Not a smidge.
  • Demoted to Extra: Not that I'm surprised by this. It seems that the rest of the world gets along fine without me. Sure, they let me have some moments, but otherwise, they just leave me out. Oh, well.
  • The Eeyore: Thanks for naming a trope after me...
  • Flat Joy: I don't always get excited. Not that I have any reason to be excited.
  • Five Temperament Ensemble: I'm always gloomy.
  • Furry Reminder: I might not act that much like a real donkey, but I do walk on all fours and eat thistles.
  • Hidden Depths: I've always wanted to be happy. But when I try, the others don't seem to like it. Figures...being happy never seems to get me anywhere. But that's just how it is.
  • Hypochondria: Given how I am, I'm probably gonna catch a cold.
  • Inconsistent Coloring: Nobody seems to know if I'm blue or grey. It's okay. It doesn't really matter...
  • Jerkass: Book-me is definitely one. I almost feel sorry for him. That could be me, but I don't have any reason to be mean. Besides, we have Rabbit for that...
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: I'm not always in a happy mood, but my friends matter to me the most. Not that they know that, mind you...
  • Jumping-to-Conclusions Diagnosis: If anyone gets a cold, I'm probably gonna catch it too.
  • Living Toys: I'm technically a stuffed toy, but I'm very much alive.
  • A Lizard Named "Liz": Christopher Robin says my name is what a donkey sounds like. I've never heard another donkey say that, so I'll just have to take his word for it.
  • Odd Friendship: Tigger may be the wildest bunch of the Hundred Acre Wood gang, but he's the best friend I could have. Beggars can't be choosers...
  • Only Sane Man: Sometimes I end up like this for no good reason. That's what you get when you have friends who aren't always paying attention.
  • Punny Name: Like I said, I'm named after a donkey sound. I don't get it, but it's okay...
  • The Stoic: Nothing at this point could surprise me. I just take it like it is. Even if bad things happen.
  • Surrounded by Idiots: Book-me thinks this of everyone else. I'm not upset about it; somedays I feel like that too. But I wouldn't change Pooh and the others. They're just special the way they are. Too bad they'll never know...
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Thistles. Just plain old thistles. It's not much, but they taste pretty good. It's one of the few certainties in life...
  • Vocal Evolution: Over the years, I've sounded a lot deeper thanks to somebody called Peter Cullen. I used to just sound sad, but when he voiced me, I got a lot deeper. Come to think of it, his voice sounds familiar. Not that anyone will notice...note 
  • When He Smiles: Sometimes, I don't know what comes over me, but I give off a big old smile. I just hope it doesn't make everyone else feel uncomfortable...
