'''Southpaw''' was an orphan male hare resident of [[Salamandastron (place)|Salamandastron]]. He was the twin brother of [[Bobweave]] and grandson of [[Stiffener Medick]]. They were both champion boxers, and their names reflected this. "Southpaw" indicated that he would use a left punch to finish off his opponent.<br />
<br />
The pair left Salamandastron due to the restlessness of youth, and eventually fell in with the court of [[Bucko Bigbones|King Bucko Bigbones]], where they met [[Brocktree|Lord Brocktree]] and [[Dorothea Duckfontein Dillworthy]]. <br />
<br />
Southpaw and Bobweave were both quite taken with the latter, and would often end up tussling over things such as the honor to clean out her [[Hardee Gurdee]] or carry her haversack. They were also the only two creatures who could endure her less-than-mellifluous singing.<br />
<br />
Southpaw and Bobweave decided to help Dorothea win her challenge against Bucko Bigbones. When asked why they didn't challenge Bigbones themselves, each twin said that he couldn't bear the thought of ordering his brother around. In the contest between Bucko and Dorothea, Southpaw and his Bobweave served the food in the feasting challenge, and along with [[Fleetscut]], gladly finished the meal after it was over. After Dorothea won, they joined Brocktree's army and aided in the recapture of Salamandastron from [[Ungatt Trunn]] and his [[Blue Hordes]].<br />
<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*In boxing terminology, the title "southpaw" is usually a nickname for someone who is left-handed. As both he and his brother Bobweave (bob-and-weave) seem to be named after boxing terms, it may well be that Southpaw was left-pawed.<br />
