Erah Grang

Erah Grang is the mother of Alzbeta Grang and Ganner Grang and gatekeeper of Redwall in Invasion of Bugs. She first appears eating in the feast with her children until they received a visitor, and Erah went to do her job. Unfortunately this visitor was Wuya the Toxic and a threat to the abbey. The next day, she wasn't seen until Wuya unleashed a Mangonel on the abbey, and sounded the alarm. The day after that, she finds Myotis and Parus the Manipulator in a scuffle, which was because Parus was stealing from the abbey and Myotis caught her, also claiming she killed her parents, but Parus was able to escape. After that, she was in a meeting that discussed Darovit's disappearance, until Volkner Streamdog suggested rescuing the vole from Wuya if he was in her clutches. Erah reminds him that they don't know where Wuya's stationed, despite Parus claiming it to be Moledeep. By night, she arrives to find Zonder Banksnout had wet himself, but really came to bring Ganner to bed, to his chagrin.
She isn't seen again until the next night: an hour before dawn, Slashtail, Bigjaw and Goldback break into the gatehouse and capture all three hares and Brother Esuom, and add them to the other prisoners in the abbey. They were later freed by Darovit, and Erah took shelter with the other civilians until the battle ended. In the aftermath, she was present with Bairdon Bardwing, Volkner, Koga and Abbot Giotto in judging Darovit, and was shocked to hear Kav Furrel request he simply be given a two season banishment, but relents, though it wouldn't matter as Darovit doesn't intend to come back at all. It can be assumed she continued being gatekeeper since: Esuom notes Alzbeta plans to succeed her when she gets too old.
She was still gatekeeper several seasons later. One day, after Ganner took Vakama Foeseeker's honey from Freja Furrel, she catches him trying to eat it and confiscates it. Later in the day, she and Myotis help Scarlette Broadstripe collect medicinal herbs until Freja arrived to take over. She also attended the party for Kav's warrior-anniversary. Unsurprisingly, she and her children had to be watched so they don't hog all the food, and she was there when Parus returns (as a circus-performer), and ruins the party being held by kidnapping Freja, Ganner and Zonder. The next morning, she saw off her daughter and her friends and witness Spinus to go rescue the children, begging Alzbeta to come back alive with Ganner.
She isn't seen for a while until days after, where she and Esuom were watching Jori Quill for Hedwig, and was more successful in getting the babe to eat than the recorder, but later switched to helping Mareike carrying more herbs for the infirmary. On another day, Nomi finds her look over the south wall, and the two share the feeling that something big was happening and their loved-ones were in it. She was last see welcoming Alzbeta and Ganner back home after their bout with Parus, and too notice of Poove, who had feelings for Alzbeta, and even better, Alzbeta accepts Poove's (rather unsuccessful) proposal, and several days later, they marry.
