I've been inactive on the Wiki for months now...well, actually I've been on here quite a lot, just not editing DX I'm not sure when I'll be properly back, but I will :) My only reason for being off the Wiki so long is that I discovered anime/manga properly about a year ago, and have since become a major fan of several series, although not quite to the same level as Redwall. Just putting this here as a semi-random I haven't left notice. Not sure why, but that's the point of random things, right?

September 2016: I still haven't left...I've just been very busy rereading Redwall (and reading things from my long, long list of recommended books)

About Me

If you don't want to read this, I can be summed up pretty well by the fact that my 'books' paragraphs are longer than my 'me' paragraph.

Redwall me

I'm not really sure any more. When I have an idea, I'll update this section.

Non-Redwall me

I'm a massive bookworm and have been my whole life. (I take after both my parents.) I spend a lot of time babbling enthusiastically about books, but I'm just as likely to be quiet...it's sort of an instinct after spending so long in the library. My favorite bands are Blyth Power, Pog, Area 11, Eastfield and the Antipoet (I love poetry, though!). I am a teenager, though I sometimes act like a six-year-old or younger *hugs toy ferret* XD I live in the UK with two rabbits, my family and a ~~library~~ room stuffed with books. As well as many, many books, I also love Disney movies! I will never be too old for Disney! Oh, and I'm a lifelong vegetarian (never eaten meat!), just to add to the strange stuff.

Books I Like

I love books, especially Redwall! I now have all the books, and I love reading Redwall fanfics almost as much as the actual books. I'm always looking out for more, so if you've written any new ones recently please let me know! :) I also love Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus/anything by Rick Riordan, the Warriors books by Erin Hunter, H.I.V.E. by Mark Walden, the Edge Chronicles by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell, Gone by Michael Grant and How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell (the books not the film!). These are only a few...my favorites change pretty much every week, if not every day, but Redwall will always be at the top.

And manga! I've been reading manga for almost a year now, and I love it! (For anyone who hasn't come across manga, it's like graphic novels but read right to left.) My favorite manga series is Fullmetal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa, and it's my second favorite series overall...in my opinion, only Redwall is better :D I've also read - or watched, for anime - Steins; Gate, Code Geass, Death Note, Attack on Titan, Blue Exorcist, Naruto, and Angelic Layer

Fanfics

Edit September 2016: I now have roughly twenty ideas for Redwall fanfiction, ranging from 'almost complete' to 'just a vague idea in my head'. The ones I'm closest to completing are several short stories about the inhabitants of Sampetra and a multi-chapter Fullmetal Alchemist crossover. Not sure when I will finish writing something, let alone pluck up the courage to post it. I owe a lot to fanfic, though, since researching one was how I found the Wiki :)

My Favorites in Redwall

I refuse to pick a favourite character on the basis that there are so many. (Although I might be a little more obsessed with Romsca than usual right now. OK, a lot more obsessed. Again.)

Favorite book: Um, most of them? If I had to choose, then probably Martin the Warrior and Pearls of Lutra

Favorite warcry: Eulaliaaaaaaa!!!

Favorite species: all of 'em.

Favorite couple: Martin and Rose (the ending of MTW makes it one of only five books that have made me cry)

Redwall Stuff I Own

All 22 of the Redwall books, and as of summer 2015, I have a second copy of Legend of Luke. Don't ask why I bought it...I'm not sure XP I just liked the cover.
Tribes of Redwall Badgers and Tribes of Redwall Mice
Redwall Map & Riddler
Redwall Friend & Foe
Redwall: The Graphic Novel
Redwall RISK (an awesome fan-made version of the board game RISK)
Redwall journal
Redwall t-shirt, hoodie, wallet and key ring from the Redwall online bookshop
...and a ferret (NOT a real one!) that I instantly named Romsca. It's super-cute! :D Spent the week after Christmas walking around the house hugging my new ferret, yelling Eulalia and singing random Frozen songs...just my usual festive madness...
Did I forget to put my Redwall Wiki account on this list?
Since Christmas 2015, I have the Redwall Cookbook, which I hope to learn several recipes from.
I also got a Pearls of Lutra necklace!
In August 2016, I visited an Abbey and they had little wooden statues of Abbeymice. I now own one. Might post a picture of it sometime.

Other things

This is partly other things about me, partly things I think could have happened in Redwall, but weren't mentioned in canon (my headcanons)

I think the otters of Ruddaring are descended from survivors who escaped from the corsairs when they took the Pearl Queen. My sort-of evidence? I reckon Inbar Trueflight was named after Finnbarr Galedeep. (All you have to do is take one N, one R and the F from Finnbarr...OK, maybe it's not that likely.) I may or may not eventually write a fanfic about this.
Another theory, this time more likely: Orlando, Basil and Cheek eventually went to live at Salamandastron. Orlando because he's a badger, Basil because he's a hare, and Cheek because Basil adopted him. (This one appears in a fanfic idea I have)
Aaand another one! I think the Marlfoxes are descended from Groddil. (No proof whatsoever. I only think this because my first Redwall book was Lord Brocktree, and I read Marlfox immediately after. I liked Groddil, so my imagination made me jump to conclusions.)
Not a Redwall theory (for once), and fairly random: Moi dad c'n do ee voice just loik ee moler. Oi carn't.
I met some real ferrets, and they're amazing :D I got to stroke the ferret, hold the ferret, watch as the ferret almost bit the dog, and get very worried as the ferret disappeared into their neighbor's garden XP Its owner had to jump over the fence to get it back...apparently that happens a lot.
One of my worst fears is writing a Mary Sue. I'm terrified of writing a whole fic without realising it's a Suefic...and mostly just really, really paranoid. When it comes to writing, I am my own worst enemy XD
Last year (2014) I tried making a Redwall pumpkin of the Mossflower cover. It was probably the best Halloween pumpkin I've made...until the knife slipped and I chopped Tsarmina's ear off, that is. I'm going to try and do it properly this year.
In 2015, I managed a Long Patrol pumpkin and didn't mutilate the hare (thank goodness). I have no clue what I'll do this year.
The Rogue Crew was published on my birthday, one year before I discovered Redwall.
