According to the elders, Mumble’s “happy feet” are a deviant “ pagan” practice that is displeasing the emperor’s deity, the Great ‘Guin, and the god is withholding the fish as punishment. He calls Mumble’s dancing “unruly nonsense” and scapegoats him for bringing famine to the colony. Their fun is cut short by Noah, the Emperor Nation’s wizened leader. Finally realising the they were meant to be, Gloria joins Mumble in his dancing, along with nearly the entire colony who’ve also been won over. When Gloria starts heading back to the mob of suitors (visibly disheartened by Mumbles lack of a singing voice), Mumble attempts to harmonize with her Heartsong by tapping in rhythm and Gloria immediantly becomes entranced by it. Though they are true companions, Mumble simply does not have a Heartsong. Gloria is fooled only for a moment, for she knows Mumble can’t sing and soon sees through his ruse. Mumble attempts to impress her with a lip synced Spanish rendition of “ My Way,”. She sings her Heartsong, “ Boogie Wonderland,” endlessly – but none of the males interest her in the least. By the time Mumble returns, Gloria is nearly overwhelmed by the amount of attention. In subsequent singing classes, Mumble spends his time at the back of the class and daydreams, while Gloria sings more beautifully by the day.ĭuring Mumble’s time in Adélie Land, Gloria gains hundreds of interested suitors, as her reputation precedes her. The entire class laughs at him – all except Gloria, who defends him. When Mumble himself tries to sing, he can accomplish nothing more than squeaky screeching. In Miss Viola’s class in Penguin Elementary, Gloria quickly established herself as a musical prodigy, and Mumble is entranced by her wonderful voice. When the egg moved around and made muffled sounds, Gloria named the chick “Mr. When Memphis feared that Mumble’s egg was stillborn, Gloria tapped on it with her bill – and a pair of feet thumped back. She is slightly older than her best friend, Mumble, and knew him from before he hatched. Gloria is the offspring of Maurice and Michelle, fellow colony members and friends of Memphis and Norma Jean. (No Information: See The Story) Gloria: As A Chick: However, when he is told the Skuas about dark mysterious forces, it leads him on a quest to discover the source of the diminishing fish supplies… Characters: Mumble: Nevertheless, Mumble is determined to make Gloria his friend. This fact alienates him from the rest of the colony and angers the Elder leaders. Fortunately, Mumble is a great tap-dancer. He can’t sing, which means he can’t find a mate. Somewhere in the Snow-land of Emperorland, there is a penguin who is a little different to the other penguins.
