Maymond is the bossy and opinionated village mayor. He takes his position of authority seriously and his over-zealousness sometimes has to be put in check by cooler heads. He dotes on his spoiled son Napoleon and is usually blind to his flaws, often blaming the trouble the boy gets involved in on other children. Mayor Maymond's hobbies outside of politics include gardening and honey-making. He keeps a special garden of forget-me-nots in memory of his late wife.
