Aven

Aven was a squirrel resident of a village located to the east of Redwall Abbey. After petitioning Abbot Cedric to allow them to study healing there, they were admitted to the Abbey, and soon thereafter sent on a quest to locate Flowers of Icetor for a Tears of Dawn potion to assist with curing Dryditch Fever.

During the quest, they visited the Winsome Wraith to meet Valo Scrimpaw. After meeting Mila and Bolo Scrimpaw, they followed instructions from a letter of Deadeye Pete and ventured to the Northern Mountains. Along the way, they were captured by Reeve the Sleeve, who attempted to sacrifice them to find a cure. After escaping, Dina led Aven to Humbleback Village, and they helped their healer Thornburr gather healing materials with Jules. Aven continued on their journey, only to be captured by the crew of Captain Tarjaw. The corsairs had also captured Mila, and they escaped together. They found the Flowers of Icetor in a cave, and headed back to Redwall where the cure was brewed.

Aven was remembered for their work seasons later.
