Eeyore is a fictional character in the Winnie the Pooh book series by A.A. Milne. He is a melancholy, pessimistic, and gloomy donkey who is known for his distinctively sad personality and his love for his tail. Eeyore has a blue ribbon attached to his tail which he is very fond of, as it is the only part of him that he considers attractive. Despite his glum nature, Eeyore is a loyal friend to Winnie the Pooh and his other Hundred Acre Wood friends, and often joins them on their adventures.
