Apathargic Bandersnatch
Bandersnatches are known for their fuming, furious nature, but this one seems sick of the whole business. Maybe he's tired of explaining what a mome rath is, or tired of playing second fiddle to the Jabberwocky.
Or maybe he's just tired of all the "I hardly *know* her!" jokes.
