'''Celandine''' was a vain young female squirrel member of the [[Rambling Rosehip Players]]. She was a talented singer. Celandine seemed to take a liking to [[Felldoh]] and often flirted with him. She added frills and lace to her Rambling Rosehip Players tunic, which unfortunately hindered her as she tried to escape from [[Badrang the Tyrant]]'s [[Badrang's Army|cronies]], leading to her capture. Fortunately, she was rescued by Felldoh, [[Rowanoak]], and [[Ballaw De Quincewold]].

After she was saved, Celandine took all the credit for the rescue mission. During the celebratory feast, Celandine was shocked when Ballaw jokingly commented on her weight. She later openly criticized the Rosehip Players and freed slaves by telling some of the performers that those who wanted to fight back were silly, and that they would get injured or dirty. [[Gauchee]] could not stand her haughtiness any longer, and she was given two options: train as a fighter or help in the cookhouse, while at the same time looking down the end of Gauchee's javelin.

The night after Felldoh's ambush on Badrang, Ballaw, Rowanoak, [[Buckler]], [[Trefoil]], Celandine, and [[Brome]] performed for the freed [[Fort Marshank]] slaves.

She later joined the [[Fur and Freedom Fighters]], helping with the construction of a barricade. While the former slaves and actors were pinned down by fire arrows, she interrupted Ballaw telling him that he had never even made a short speech in his entire life. After the [[Battle of Marshank]], she relocated to [[Noonvale]] with her fellow entertainers.

Celandine was not very brave or strong but was not bad-hearted either. She was known to bat her eyelashes at all handsome woodlanders, whether they were squirrels or not, and often shirked her duties in the Rambling Rosehip Players' camp (cooking, cleaning, etc.).

The character of Celandine in [[Redwall - Season 3|season three]] of the [[Redwall TV Series|Nelvana Redwall TV series]] played a much more minor role than in the book. Her performance at Marshank was shortened, she never openly criticized the troupe and freed slaves during their time of training. She also never scoffed at the idea of Ballaw making a speech. Celandine doesn't help with building a barricade, instead hiding behind a large boulder. In a scene that never occurred in ''Martin the Warrior'', Celandine is seen consoling Brome at Felldoh's funeral.

=== Trivia ===
*'Celandine' is pronounced with the letter 'C' as 'K', not as in 'C' in "cell."
