Weaknesses:Can be rather abrasive and short fussed at times. Has trouble trusting others.
History: Has grown up most of her life on a bend in the reviver just before it turns into the ocean. When she was still a pup her family and clan were killed right in front of her. she did manage to escape and was saved by a family of sea otters. AS she grew up she was made fun of alot for her larger size. Not that she was fat just taller than most sea otters (which makes sense). From then on she has had trouble trusting others. Once she was old enough she struck out on her own and traveled from place to place helping those that were to weak or unable to help themselves. Whether that meant helping with hard labor or healing or even fighting off intruders. She now lives on the edge of Moss flower in a cave by the river bank. From there she wanders about Moss flower secretly protecting others and guiding them along the harder trails. She has even taken wayward travelers to Redwall though she has never been inside its walls.
Relationships: She doesn't have any living relatives, but still trys to keep in touch with some of the other otter clans.
Other: Is good and really gentle with kids despite her rough ways and appearance.
