Was at the thrift shop this morning when I came across a copy of Martin The Warrior, one of the Redwall novels from the early 90s. I double checked to make sure it was the right one and yes, my memory holds. I bought it, because it is the origin of Juniper Feldon, who is base very loosely off of the character Felldoh in that book.
Funny thing was that when I first read Martin the Warrior all those years ago I kept misreading that squirrel's name as Felldon and about towards the end I realized that no, the character is Felldoh.
Now if you know anything about Redwall novels you know the following: Redwall is always under siege, the main character always heads to Salamandastron on a quest and that the entire supporting cast will be dead by the end of the novel. And so Felldoh died at the end of Martin the Warrior and was reincarnated in my own rosy little world as Feldon.
Now to be fair, Feldon is a totally different character by this point: A gay red squirrel with a fixation on rabbits, telepathic abilities and he hunts ghosts and cryptids for a living. Still I will admit to his origins in the pages of a Brian Jacques novel and I must give thanks to Mr. Jacques for that.
