Still Hungry (Meta)

Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a book character (but maybe not the first one you might think of)
There is not really much I can say about this puzzle. Just dive on in, complete the grid, and then hopefully you will then be able to find the answer to the meta, which is a book character - but maybe not the first one you might think of!

Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!
