Yume (夢) is a young girl, and the technical owner of Maxwell. Maxwell is owned by her older brother, but she is the one who is shown to look after him most of the time. She is also the youngest child of the book store owners.
In her spare time, Yume enjoys writing fictional stories. Some are fantastical adventure stories involving herself and Maxwell, while others are romance stories about the love life of two hamsters named Nana and Yu. Her hamster romance stories tend to follow the love life of Maxwell (her Hamster) and Sandy.
In Yume, Tell Us a Story!, Yume writes fantasy stories about herself and her hamster Maxwell as the protagonists in various fantastical settings and situations, but she is shy about sharing these stories with anyone else, keeping them to herself and Maxwell. Her friend Zack becomes curious about reading her stories, and one day at school he unintentionally upsets her by taking her notebook and reading it, finding the fantasy stories funny, and laughing. Yume runs away upset, while Zack feels bad about hurting her feelings. After trying to return the book and apologize to Yume, Zack loses the book when a flock of crows steals it from him. He doesn’t rest until he finds Yume’s book for her. With the help of Maxwell, Howdy, and the rest of the Ham-Hams, Zack is able to retrieve Yume’s storybook, apologize to her, and rekindle their friendship. Zack then helps Yume write stories about all of the Ham-Hams, which Yume shares with their schoolmates.
In the episode A Little Love Story!, Yume writes a book about a hamster called Nana and her love for a hamster named Yu. This interestingly takes the same form of the romantic relationship Maxwell (her hamster) had with Sandy.
In The Ham-Ham Explorers and the Romance Story!, she writes a second story, this time of hamsters on an adventure in a cave. Once again, the plot mimics that of the Ham-Ham's adventures.
