Tumnus

Mr. Tumnus is a faun from the The Chronicles of Narnia continuum. A kindly little man with goat legs, he befriended Lucy Pevensie during her first trip into the Wardrobe, and became a close friend to her and her siblings.

In Canon
Mr. Tumnus lived in a cave in the Lantern Wastes when Lucy came to Narnia in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Fearing the rule of the White Witch, and knowing her hatred of Daughters of Eve and Sons of Adam, Mr. Tumnus tried to put Lucy to sleep with a flute so he could turn her in. At the last minute, however, he lost the heart to go through with his plan, instead warning Lucy of Jadis and sending her back through the wardrobe.

Upon Lucy's return with her siblings, she discovered Tumnus' cave ransacked, with a note on the door declaring him to be under arrest. They didn't discover until later that Edmund had met Jadis before and accidentally told her of Tumnus aiding Lucy. Tumnus is turned to stone in Jadis' castle, but is later restored by Aslan along with all the rest of the Witch's petrified victims.

While the Pevensies ruled as Kings and Queens of Narnia, Mr. Tumnus served as an advisor to the siblings. He was present with Edmund and Susan when they met danger in Tashbaan in The Horse and His Boy. Tumnus died at some point after the Pevensies left Narnia, but reunited with them in Aslan's Country in The Final Battle.

In Badfic
Mr. Tumnus is often shipped with Lucy, due to some badfic authors' inability to see their close friendship as anything other than a romance. He is sometimes paired with other non-Human characters, usually as crack pairings.

Tumnus' meek personality is frequently turned up (down?) to ridiculous levels, making him a servile minion to, or even fearful of, the Pevensie children. While he did behave this way around the White Witch, his relationship with Narnia's true queens and kings was much closer and more respectful.
