'''Constance''' was a badger mother of [[Redwall Abbey]] during the time of [[Abbot Mortimer]] and [[Abbot Mordalfus]]. She helped defend the Abbey during the [[Summer of the Late Rose]]; [[Cluny the Scourge]]'s [[Cluny's Horde|horde]] hated and feared her for her courage and strength. Her rivalry with [[Redtooth]], which began when she threw rotten vegetables into the rat's face, ultimately ended with her hurling him into a tree trunk, killing him. She constructed a giant yew [[crossbow]] with help from the solitary [[Beaver]]. The crossbow was fired at [[Cheesethief]], whom she had mistaken for Cluny the Scourge. <br />
<br />
She was thought to be less bright but proved otherwise when her knowledge of the phases of the moon helped [[Matthias]] and [[Brother Methuselah]] solve several riddles. <br />
<br />
When the Abbey was under attack by [[General Ironbeak]] during the [[Summer of the Golden Plain]], Constance was considered the leader of the Redwallers during this time of war. She helped [[Cornflower Fieldmouse|Cornflower]] in her masquerade as the ghost of [[Martin the Warrior]], providing the deep voice, and she rescued [[Stryk Redkite]] from Ironbeak's attacking [[Ironbeak's Flock|rooks]].<br />
<br />
Later, when Matthias, [[Mattimeo]], and their companions returned to Redwall, Constance befriended [[Orlando the Axe]]. She taught his daughter [[Auma]] all that she knew, and later the young badger succeeded her as badger mother of Redwall Abbey.<br />
<br />
During the [[Winter of the Early Snowdrop]], Constance and Methuselah repeatedly attempted to locate the Redwall [[Warrior's Code]], however they were unsuccessful.<br />
