Wow! I wrote a fanfic about a pine marten named Dernwyn! I thought I had made the name up (it was inspired by the names "Eowyn" and "Dernhelm", because my character's story was somewhat similar to the LotR character - or at least they were similar in their stories beginnings, anyway ), but apparently great minds think alike. But not only that, but my Dernwyn also had blue eyes just like yours'. Only my Dernwyn was 11-14 seasons old in the fic, a fearful weakling of a spoilt prince who gets pushed around a lot, but at least he ends up growing up and starts fighting back. Your Dernwyn looks pretty cool, though.

That is a strange coincidence! I haven't read too many Redwall fanfics and I don't think I have read yours. I may have to get around and read it sometime. I am not sure how I came up with the name, but I think it was inspired by the word "Dyrnwyn", which is a Welsh sword of legend. I just liked the name when I came across it and I just changed the one letter from "y" to "e" to make it easier for me read. My Dernwyn may have had easy beginnings, but he unfortunately started to lose his sanity because of the stresses of his job and war. He is a hell of a fighter, though. The only thing I need to do is to actually write down the story about him and put it out there. Thanks for compliment and I am still surprised about the similarities between our two characters.

I have some chapters of my fanfic uploaded onto here, though the entire fic is on fanfiction.net. Yeah, I've heard of "Dyrnwyn", I read about it in the Prydain book series. Actually, even though my Dernwyn for the most part is just a regular teenager, I was thinking about doing a sequel where he ends up becoming a great warrior (albeit slightly pyschotic ).But that does sound pretty cool, a fic about your own Dernwyn! Sounds like it'll be a great read! Your welcome, and heh, yeah, amazing how things like that happen in life.
