About Me
[edit]I’ve been a Redwall fan and artist for nearly ten years. When I’m not reading Redwall, I love drawing, writing, horseback riding, fencing, sailing, canoeing, reading (gasp!) other books, cryptozoology, birdwatching, anything involving animals and birds... I also like playing Smash Bros., Legend of Zelda, and Star Fox. I'm a Christian and an animal rights actvist. I sort of collect pictures, be they art or photographs. ^_^ You may or may not have met me before on DAB under the same name, or seen my drawings on Youtube under the name MagnaECoyote or DeviantArt under the name PsychoAngel51402. I draw freehand and color in Adobe Photoshop. I don’t take requests, but I do take commissions and from time to time participate in contests or art trades. You can see more of my Redwall artwork at http://redwall.wikia.com/wiki/User:Dawnrose/My_Art, and Redwall fanfiction in my blog: http://redwall.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Dawnrose. I LOVE giftart, but if you use my characters in any other way without my permission I'll sic my dog on you and he'll love you to death!

My Redwall Characters
[edit]
Kukka – Female ferret in Badrang’s horde. Mate of Bluehide. Her name means “flower” in Finnish. While she may appear rather dangerous while carrying out her nocturnal duties, during the day she is nothing more than a mild-mannered hordebeast, and a rather timid and submissive one at that. Regardless of mood, her weapon is a simple spear. Featured in: Marshank
Skelva – Female weasel , older sister to Rotnose. Her name means “wave” in Faeroese. Trauman Clogg’s First Mate, she is responsible for punishment and rule enforcement among the crew, a task she thoroughly enjoys. Her most prominent skills are archery, drinking, and getting what she wants from “inferior” malebeasts. She and Badrang’s First Mate, Hisk, harbor deep-rooted hatred towards each other and clash constantly. It is for this reason she chose Clogg’s crew over Badrang’s despite imminent separation from her brother. She is strongly attracted to Fleabane for reasons known only to herself, and upon the crew’s defeat at the hands of Badrang, she willingly joins his horde and becomes Fleabane’s mate.
Featured in: Marshank
Caru Dellrithe – Female otter, a wanderer. Her name is both Welsh for “love” and Old English for “sorrow”. She is a skilled wrestler and is also quite handy with a javelin. Caru was born in a Southern holt made up of her mother, father, two brothers, three sisters, and several different otter families, including the Brookback family. She and Ruffgar Brookback are roughly the same age (he's a few seasons older), and fast friends. Together, their pranks nearly drive their fellow holt members crazy. Caru is about thirteen seasons old when Ruff, then fifteen seasons, decides to leave the holt, and Caru decides to join them. The two friends roam together for several seasons, until one winter when the small boat they made is destroyed on the rocks of an unfamiliar river. Separated and believing her best friend to be lost, Caru continues South on her own adventures.

Teagan – Blind ottermaid slave of Marshank. Younger sister of Tullgrew. Her name derives from the Irish word for “poet”, which Anglicized is Teague. She was stricken blind by a fever she caught when she was very young, but she is fairly adept at many tasks and she can do a bit of healing, so Badrang has allowed her to live (so far).
Featured in: Marshank
Violet– Female corsair ferret, daughter of Zigu. Though her claim to fame is mainly her unrequited attraction to Veil Sixclaw, she is slowly evolving into a fearsome swordsmistress in her own right.
Featured in: Unrevealed.
Roseya Stormtide – Female sea otter. Her first name means “wind” in Papiamento. Her creation came about when I decided to write about Finnbarr's adventures before Slipp and Strapp murdered his family and crew. I figured his wife would have to be as adventurous and tough as he is, so I created Roseya to fit the bill. (Please don’t kill me…)

Rosebud Lutra Longflight – Female otter, daughter of Inbar Trueflight and Grath Longfletch. Her parents taught her archery, and her father taught her basic healing. She comes to Redwall Abbey while on a quest. There she meets and falls in love with the Skipper of Otters, but is far too shy to tell him. She remains at Redwall as an apprentice healer under Sister Viola.
Featured in: Unrevealed.
Tayera Kammerat ("Tye") – Female otter raised by the Juska. Her weapon is a dirk, though she is fairly adept at using her paws and tail if necessary. The Tayera Kammerat is the creature chosen by Fate to be the Taggerung's loyal servant and lifelong companion. The Tayera is always female and usually the same species as the Taggerung. There's a reason why the Tayera is female: if the Taggerung was female (as they can sometimes be, according to Grissoul) and the Tayera was a male, the male would naturally be stronger, and that wouldn't look so great for the Taggerung. "Tye", the Tayera of Tagg, the otter Taggerung, is raised from infancy to believe that her life's purpose is to serve the Taggerung. Following him when he leaves the Juskarath, Tye struggles to transition from being a servant to being a friend. Then, when Tagg is reunited with his family and again becomes Deyna son of Rillflag, Tye is unsure of where she could fit in... Featured in: Unrevealed.
Dawnrose – Female otter, daughter of Skipper, cousin of Churk and Rumbol. Born at Redwall Abbey, her mother died when she was very small and she was raised by her father. Her preferred weapons are the javelin and sling, and she’s very capable of using them. She’s very affectionate and caring, so it’s not surprising that her favorite pastimes are those that take place in the company of her friends and family.
