Appearance:
Age: 15 years (60 Seasons)
Species: Mouse
Gender: Female
Allegiance: Good
Appearance:
Sister Speckle is quite a small young mouse, with a gentle but rather weak frame and a long, thin tail. She has rather small ears for a mouse, very neat and small. She has a rounded face with delicate whiskers and her incisors are slightly long. Her eyes are slightly large and are a hazel colour. She was quite unusual fur - it has a grey base, but is covered in a coat of more tawny fur with little darker grey and white speckles dotting it, the origin of her name. Although it cannot often be seen, sue to wearing a veil, Speckle has a small scruff of fur on the top of her head.Belongings:
Speckle's clothing is the simple, traditional clothing of members of the order of Redwall Abbey, an emerald green habit, with a white veil on her head. She also wears a pair of leather sandals on her feet, and a cloth belt around her waist.
As a sister of Redwall Abbey, pretty much all Sister Speckle owns is the clothes on her back, as it is her duty to look after others instead of caring for herelf. However, she does wear a small silver chain around her neck, with a small silver locket on it in the shape of a heart. It is thought to be the last thing Speckle has of her parents.Job or Position:
Sister of the Order of Redwall AbbeyPersonality:
Sister Speckle isn't anyone terribly special or exciting; most would see her as just a sister of the Abbey, who may serve your meals, or sometimes say grace before a meal, or can be seen sweeping the floors or playing with the Dibbuns. Speckle is naturally very quiet and gentle with all who she meets. She is full of genuine kindness, and loves to help all who come through the Abbey doors. She is still very much a child, and as such is very playful and cheerful, with a spring in her step and a parkle in her eyes.History and Background Information:
However, Speckle is, as mentioned, very shy and slightly timid and uncertain. She has always been sheltered in the Abbey's walls, so is unfamiliar with the threat of vermin. She can sometimes be too trusting with others and so is easily tricked. She gets worried very easily, and is not very strong, physically or mentally.
It is quite unknown where Speckle came from. Who her parents were, where she lived, her life and what it could have been. All that is known about her is that, one windy autumn evening, one of the brothers of the Abbey was having a walk along the ramparts when he found a little cloth bundle lying among the golden leaves. When they went down to see what it was, they found a little baby mouse inside the cloth bundle, a silver necklace holding the ends together. They asked all the beasts that lived in the forest if they knew who the baby belonged to, but they had no idea. The Abbot at that time decided to take the little baby mouse into the order, seeing it as cruel to leave her out in the cold, and as no-one knew here the parents could be found and no-one had come forward to claim the baby or take it in.Any other details:
Named Speckle for her unusual fur patterns, she was trained all her life to become a member of the Order of Redwall Abbey when she became old enough. That day came, and she proudly took her habit. She spends her days in the Abbey, and although satisfied with her simple lifestyle, she sometimes dreams of finding out about her parents...
"Willow" isn't her true surname; rather, the Redwaller who found her was called Brother Willow, and so she often called herself Speckle Willow as a dibbun, seeing him as a father figure.
