Pamela is a character in the Thea Stilton books, and is also a member of the Thea Sisters.

Not much information can be gathered about her early life. She was born in Tanzania, a country in south east Africa and was raised there. When she grew up, she went to Mouseford Academy to further her studies in journalism with her new friends; Nicky, Colette, Paulina, and Violet.

Pamela is an outdoor mouse, much like Nicky. She is active, also brave and pulls off dangerous stunts in certain situations if she needs to. She will break up arguments when she sees one because she can't stand any; she's a peacemaker. She's also impulsive, acting on instinct and not thinking decisions through which could lead her to danger. She will help her friends out whenever they are in need, especially the ones with mechanical problems. She is also known to have a bottomless stomach and obssesions of other types of food. There's one particular fear she possesses; insectophobia.
