Aubretia
Aubretia was a female mouse resident of Noonvale. She was a descendant of Brome, Urran, and Aryah Voh, and a relative of Rose.
She was a healer, and the traveling companion of Bultip. She arrived at Redwall Abbey during the time of Abbot Saxtus and told the story of Martin the Warrior to the Abbey residents.
Aubretia carried a locket containing a picture of Martin and Rose. As a gift to the Redwallers, she brought the red rose planted on Laterose's grave, which was called the Laterose because it blooms later than others. Aubretia was said to bear a striking resemblance to Rose, the sister of her ancestor.
Redwall TV Series
[edit]In the Nelvana Redwall TV Series, Bultip and Aubretia were not featured characters, as Tim Churchmouse tells the story of Martin the Warrior to the Redwall inhabitants. However, he mentioned that travelers brought the red rose to the Abbey many seasons ago, suggesting Aubretia's visit could be canon in the TV series.
Trivia
[edit]- Like her ancestor, Brome, Aubretia was named after a plant. Aubretia is a genus of flowering ground creepers.
