Description
I actually designed this character several years ago, just as sort of a fan-character for the Redwall book series, (and yes, his actual name is Redwall) but only now have I decided to create a sheet for him. Eventually, I plan on creating a costume, but I've just got so much freaking crap going on rn, so don't hold your breath XD. I'll put his backstory/in-depth bio down below if you're interested.

Birthplace: Redwall Abbey
Early Life/Backstory: Redwall lived a pleasant early life, though he may not remember it, living in the abbey as a baby. His parents had given him the name after the miraculous power of the building had somehow aided in an seemingly disastrous, if not doomed, birth. His mother was quite adept at playing the piano, while his father had a beautiful, sonorous voice. The good times didn’t last, though; When he had just turned 2, the abbey was stormed by the forces of Kelisi the rat. His parents, as well as several abbey members were slaughtered in the night, but the young Red was taken, probably to serve as food. Upon seeing him, however, Kelisi decided a fox would be quite a useful addition to his squad, and decided to raise the pup as one of his own kind. As he grew through childhood to adolescence, he was taught the harsh cruelties of the world, and Kelisi made certain the image of the semi blazing abbey was left burned into his mind. They of course left out certain details that caused them to be at fault, instead turning the death of his parents on the “corrupt” and “misguided” souls of the establishment. Redwall, knowing no different, grew up believing that the world was out to get him, and everyone, and he’d have to fight to survive in even the most seemingly peaceful settings. He then, of course, had no problem doing the rat’s bidding; Mostly stealing and common thievery. His foxley side made him quick and sneaky, giving him the ability to silently slip through shadows almost unseen. The wolf in him made him stubborn, as well as giving him a height and stature most unfit for foxes. He is submissive toward his “master” and superiors, but has little to no regard for anybeast else. Although he mostly spends his days pickpocketing and petty-robbing for his higher-ups, he serves as the hitman for the rat’s endeavours. These rats are sort of a mafia, and anytime they need somebeast bumped off or put back in their place, Redwall’s the one to do it.
Motivation: Redwall respects the rats as his superiors, and reveres them as leaders. He believes them when they say he wouldn’t have survived without their help, and he wishes to repay the life-debt he thinks he owes.
Traits: Introverted pessimist, often thinks in a somewhat nihilistic attitude. Believes his purpose in life is to serve the rats.
Soft spot: Red has a thing for piano music, particularly soft, flowing melodies similar to a wolf’s cry. It seems to be the only known thing that can stir any past memories about what little childhood he had with his parents.
Likes: Success, affirmation from superiors, trusting his daredevil nature to accomplish tasks, soft piano music.
Dislikes: Being scolded by those he has respect for, failing missions, loud sounds, recognition, pretty much anybeast he sees.
