Eeyore is of course clinically depressed. Should have been hospitalized. Possibly suicidal. Owl is a pedantic but genial university type, comfortable in gown, sitting at High Table drinking Claret. Rabbit is of course compulsive-obsessive, possibly manic, a meddling bureaucrat, self styled organizer. But for true mania consider the unforgettable "Mr. Toad" of "The Wind in the Willows". Truly a danger to himself and others. In addition, a cross dresser. Transsexual?
