Abbess '''Mhera''' was a female otter leader of [[Redwall Abbey]]. She was the daughter of [[Rillflag]] and [[Filorn]], elder sister to [[Deyna]], and a descendant of [[Deyna I]].

During the time when Deyna was cast out of the [[Juskarath]], [[Lady Cregga Rose Eyes]] decided that Mhera should serve as the next Abbess of Redwall Abbey. She then put into motion a plan that she and [[Abbess Songbreeze Swifteye]] had conceived many seasons prior.

Cregga showed Mhera and [[Gundil]] a small statue of a squirrel that she kept in her room. The statue, carved from heavy dark wood, was actually a cleverly-concealed bottle that Songbreeze's father, [[Janglur Swifteye]], had carved. Gundil discovered how to open the bottle, and the two decided to find the solution to the puzzle they found stuffed inside it.

The paper inside the bottle led them first to a lantern holder column in the [[Great Hall]], then to a very delicate slab of slate in the Abbey wall. The slate led them up to the top of the [[The Bell Tower|bell tower]]. A small piece of [[Lilac-smelling Green Cloths|lilac-scented, green homespun fabric]] with the word HITTAGALL stitched on it was all that could be found.

Soon, similar fabric strips began to be discovered in many different areas of the Abbey, some in places where it was obvious that they had not been there but a few hours, instead of for many seasons like the bottle. Mhera was completely puzzled until Cregga was fatally shot by [[Vallug Bowbeast]]. While dying, Cregga told Mhera the reason for the paper and all the fabric strips, which was to indicate who would serve as the next leader of Redwall.

The small pieces of fabric, which were hidden by Cregga and [[Hoarg]], showed qualities necessary for a leader: Patience Is The Thing A Good Abbey Leader Learns (PITTAGALL). Mhera ascended to the position of Abbess of Redwall, soon before Deyna returned to his birthplace and took on the role of Abbey Warrior.

===Trivia===
*Mhera is the only known otter to lead the Abbey in the entire ''Redwall'' series.
