Abbess Saol

[carabadgermum]

Your character's full name: Saol Strongclaw
Age: 17
Species: mole
Gender: Female
Appearance:

Saol has soft sable fur covering her whole body except for her pink snout. She is small in stature but has the large front digging claws of her species. She as just traded the light green habit of a novice for the darker emerald green habit of Mother Abbess. She has small black eyes that see a lot more than anybeast would guess, and a warm smile hardly ever leaves her face. a piece of red sandstone on a string around her neck is her only jewelry.

Belongings:

Saol's most precious possession is a small perfectly smooth red sandstone heard with a hole bored through it so she can wear it on a string around her neck. Her father the Foremole, made it long ago for his wife from a piece that had broken away from the Abbey itself. He was only a worker then and they were repairing some of the ancient crumbling stones. When his wife died he made sure that the stone was passed down to his daughter. She calls it her very own piece of Redwall and wears it always.

Job or Position:

Mother Abbess of Redwall

Personality:

Whether it be because of her inborn mole logic or because of the help she's getting from Martin, Saol is wise beyond her seasons. She's a bit shy especially before her elders and she's still very unsure of herself as a leader. Sometimes she'd rather just be out playing with the other young creatures of the Abbey instead of forced into stuffy old meetings with Lois and the council members. Still she knows the importance of her position and takes it on humbly.

History and Background Information:

Saol was not born in the Abbey. Her father was a member of the mole crew of Mossflower and came along with them to do some repairs on the walls when she was a baby. He fell in love with the place and knew that the infirmary was the best place for his ailing wife. They were unable however to find a cure for the disease she was plagued with. He didn't see any reason to leave the Abbey after she died and knew that it was the best place to bring up his young daughter. Not long after that he was appointed as Foremole.
As she was growing up Saol's father always told her she could be anything she wanted to be. So, she tried everything: cooking, recording, cellar keeping, infirmary helper, watching dibbuns. She was never sure which she liked best, only that it had to be something to do with this beautiful Abbey. Martin settled the decision for her when he came to her in a dream and told her she was to be the next Abbess.
Saol and a young squirrel named Tamar were thrown together at a young age because Tamar's grandfather was once the abbey champion. They've been best friends as long as either of them can remember and got up to all kinds of mischief together as dibbuns. Now Tamar has appointed herself as the Abbess's personal assistant.
