'''Lady Melesme''' was a Badger Lady of [[Salamandastron (place)|Salamandastron]] who ruled the mountain for more than 27 seasons. She made a drum for the [[Redwall Abbey|Redwallers]] and sent eight hares to deliver it, but it was stolen by [[Gulo the Savage]] and the hares were killed; it is unknown if the drum was ultimately recovered. <br />
<br />
Melesme was described as old, but a powerful ruler. She wore a homespun tunic and an apron. <br />
<br />
Melesme sent 100 [[Long Patrol]] hares led by [[Brigadier Buckworthy Crumshaw]] to retrieve the drum and finish off Gulo and his [[Gulo the Savage's Horde|vermin horde]]. She commanded that every single beast be slain to avenge the deaths of her hares. <br />

===Trivia===<br />
