Craklyn

Craklyn was a female squirrel Recorder of Redwall Abbey. She was the best friend of Piknim and also a very close friend of Tansy.

In her youth, Craklyn was very clever and talented at reading and writing. She was an invaluable asset in finding the Tears of all Oceans and unraveling their analogous riddles. Craklyn and Piknim were active, agile, and loved to race each other. They would often use the search for the pearls as an opportunity to challenge each other up or down the stairs and throughout the Abbey. When Tansy threw the Tears of all Oceans into the sea, never to be seen again, she mentioned how Fermald the Ancient would not have been happy.

As an adult, Craklyn succeeded Rollo as Abbey Recorder. Together with Tansy, Shad, Friar Butty, and Diggum, she discovered the treasure of Verdauga Greeneyes among the ruins of Kotir. She was the official keeper of the medals that had been forged from the treasure, a job she did not take kindly to, due to the sheer number of them. These medals honored all those who had fought during the Battle of the Ridge of a Thousand.
