Name: Sergeant Earthpaw
Full Name: Earthpaw Wildurry Tanscut
Sex: Female
Age: Around her middle seasons
Species: Hare
Height: Tall
Weight: N/A

Pelt: A pale brown that lightens to a cream color on her belly.
Fur Features: Her fur is slightly lighter on her muzzle, and darkens to a chocolate brown on her eartips.
Eyes: Hazel flecked with gold
Build: Lean and athletic, though not overly muscled. Anyone who looks at her should be able to tell she was a fighting hare in her younger seasons. However, she does have a slight middle that she tends to hide.
Scars: A large scar on her left leg, a slightly smaller scar on her side, and a nick in her right ear.

About Her: Earthpaw is a kind creature, however, years of the Long Patrol left her a bit rough around the edges. She's quick to anger, and just as quick to apologize when she uses one sharp word too many. Like all hares, she has a horrendous appetite, and will eat any edible item placed within pawrange. During her stay at Redwall, she came to favor shrimp and hotroot soup, often adding so much pepper and spice to it that even the otters cringe and look at her in awe. Earthpaw no longer wears her medals, but she can sometimes be found in her room polishing them and humming old barrack room ballads.

Clothing: Typically, Earthpaw can be seen wearing a pale green tunic with a woven belt secured about her middle. She will sometimes sport a seashell bracelet, though usually only on special occasions and feast days.

Weaponry: Earthpaw was death with a dagger. She carried two on her person at all times. However, if a blade wasn't within reach, she has her natural defenses (and a few boxing lessons learned as a leveret). She was also accurate with a bow, but favors close range fighting.

History: In her prime, Earthpaw was a perilous warrior of the Long Patrol. She rose swiftly through the ranks with her sharp wit, intelligence, and precise fighting expertise. However, she also saw many battles, and finally saw her last. Her last battle left her recovering in the sick bay for a season, and a limp in her paw that left her unable to run and keep up with the rest of her hares. She stayed on Salamandastron as Sergeant for a few more seasons before gracefully stepping down to a hare more capable than she. Only for a few more seasons did she remain on Salamandastron before retiring to Redwall Abbey, where she was escorted by a regiment of hares.

Present: She currently resides at Redwall Abbey, serving as 'Dibbun Guardian' (as she simply dreads the term 'hare nurse'). She takes care of the babes under her charge as though they were her own leverets. Her limp pains her more often than not, but she doesn't complain and remarks that even though she can't command a regiment of hares anymore, she can still restore order among a rowdy group of children.  
This is Sergeant Earthpaw, my Redwall persona. She is a hare who served in the Long Patrol in her prime.

Note:

1: Seasons are like years
2: She is based around the hares from Redwall (obviously)
3: She's in the early stages. This ref will be edited as her character is developed
4: The otters mentioned are stereotypical Redwall otters.
5: I don't own Redwall. Redwall belongs to Brian Jacques, rest his memory.
6: ... Wot indeed sah.
