Blabbermouth is one of the pages in Gup and Haroun’s primary love interest in the story. She is a girl who disguises herself as a boy to become a Page. She is unable to pursue the job she wants unless she hides her true identity. Blabbermouth represents the struggle women often face as they fight for equality in male-dominated domains. She also symbolizes the occasional necessity to tell fictions about one’s own identity to make progress in certain situations. She also functions as a heroine and Haroun’s romantic interest.
Haroun is the protagonist of the story. He is a young boy who is kind, curious, resourceful, and loyal. After his mother leaves his father, Haroun finds it impossible to concentrate for longer than 11 minutes. When his father loses his gift for storytelling, Haroun tries to help him get it back. When he goes to Kahani, he bravely confronts every danger that he faces. Once he understands the stakes of Khattam-Shud’s plan to plug the Wellspring of Stories, he acts from a sense of duty.
At the end of the novel, he is skeptical about what he sees as the false happiness the Walrus has given to his city.
