'''Lonna Bowstripe''' was a massive male badger who originally resided near the [[Eastern Coast]]. Raised by an older male badger, [[Grawn]], Lonna was taught the ways of the archer. He readily picked up the proper skills, as he could shoot dead center in excess of 100 yards. Lonna was also born with the abilities of a seer, a skillset that is generally not found in woodlanders, albeit not uncommon among badgers. According to Grawn, his abilities contributed towards his accuracy with a bow. He could also contact others through their dreams, a feat he demonstrated only on [[Raga Bol]], vowing vengeance. Lonna periodically experienced [[Bloodwrath]]. Other characters frequently commented on his huge size.

Lonna had a scar on his face, which he received during a near-fatal encounter with Raga Bol. His life was saved by the otters [[Abruc]] and [[Stugg]], who rescued him and brought him back to full health. Lonna had sworn an oath of vengeance against Bol, as the attack had ended with the murder of Grawn, and pursued him.

Lonna traveled for seasons tracking Bol and at one point was almost killed by three of his [[Raga Bol's crew|troops]] who were armed with poison darts.

During a run-in with [[Bragoon|the]] [[Sarobando|party]] [[Hortwill Longblade Braebuck|that]] [[Springald|was]] [[Abbess Fenna|questing]] for [[Loamhedge Abbey]], Lonna saved Horty from [[Darrat]] rats. Right after, a vision of [[Martin the Warrior]] told him where to go, and Lonna tracked Bol to [[Redwall Abbey]]. Lonna stood outside the building slaying any vermin foolish enough to poke his head above the perimeter. Eventually, Lonna got his paws on Bol and used him as a club to whack Bol's own troops. When he was about to kill the [[:Category:Corsairs|sea rat]], Bol was accidentally killed by the spears of his own crew members who were trying to throw them at the badger. Many of the sea rats ran but Lonna tracked every last one down.

After Redwall was saved, Lonna became the next Lord of [[Salamandastron (place)|Salamandastron]].

===Trivia===
*The character Lonna, as seen in the [[Dedications|dedication]] of ''[[Loamhedge]]'', is based off of a person named Nolan Wallace. This is evident in that the name "Lonna" is an anagram of "Nolan." Until his death in [[2001]] from cancer, Nolan was an avid reader of ''Redwall'' and spoke at great lengths regarding the merits of the series.
