A little girl who talks constantly and becomes known as "Little Big Mouth" but no one listened. When the Prime Minister couldn't talk, she was made PM because she was the only person who could talk constantly and only by talking constantly could politicians ensure that no one listened. She chose to say nothing, which kept the politicians from doing their usual stupid things. When the PM recovered his voice and tried to throw her out, the people rose up and demanded that she become PM; she agreed.
