Filorn

Filorn was a female otter resident of Redwall Abbey. She was the mother of Deyna and Mhera, wife of Rillflag, and the ancestor of Churk, Rumbol, and Skipper. Filorn lived at Redwall with her daughter after her husband was killed and her son disappeared, and she grieved for them a good deal. She was a great cook and helped in the Kitchen. Filorn was friends with all Abbey dwellers, and Boorab the Fool was especially fond of her. She was also friends with Lady Cregga Rose Eyes and Friar Broggle.

After Deyna was wounded by Vallug Bowbeast and brought back into the Abbey unconscious, Filorn was the first to recognize him; she managed to break Deyna's grip on the sword of Martin the Warrior by singing a baby song that caused him to reflexively open his paws.

Filorn and Mhera allowed Deyna to be taken to Rukky Garge; they were told that he would return, healed, when the russet apples fell. The day that the first apple did fall, Filorn waited with her daughter on the Abbey walltop, and they remained there for three nights and two days until they saw Deyna coming and reunited with him on the path outside of the Abbey.
