Kasper Thistledown

Kasper Thistledown is a juvenile hare maid and a descendant of Bart Thistledown. She was first harvesting with Poove, but first appears as a prisoner to Parus the Manipulator. After the slavers added Freja Furrel, Zonder Banksnout and Ganner Grang to their little collection, Kasper kept Freja calm when she found herself a prisoner, and later learns Parus has history with Redwall. She also finds Ganner attractive. Parus later has them march off to the south, where she gets to know the three redwallers. They stopped temporarily to add Russell Swordmaid to the mix, then set off again. Come morning, they set off in a swamp, and later the group get attacked by toads, with Kasper being caught by a toad-tongue, but was saved by the ferret Linda and they survive. When Parus decides to backtrack to forge an alliance with the toads and see if they were being followed, Russell takes Botaurus' dagger and frees all five of them, then they try to escape into the water, only for Ganner to blow their cover with a scream, forcing them to dive madly, and while this did get the slavers' attention, the five ultimately got away. Making their way back, they heard the sounds of a battle, along with woodlander battle-cries. They also witness the Baryonyx rise from the marsh and attack their would-be rescuers, stumbling across its nest in the process. Hurriedly they tried to reunite, but Parus and the slavers recapture them, foiling their hope. Now back in chains, they are forced to continue further away from Redwall, stopping at one point for the night, where she overhears Zonder strike a conversation with Linda and Russell, particularly where Linda wants to be accept by woodlanders and Redwall. While Ganner doubted Linda would be accepted after what happened with Veil Sixclaw eons earlier, Kasper was more willing to accept Linda.
By daybreak, they arrive at Great Inland Lake, and by evening, they get taken aboard the ship captained by Brafilius to Marlfox island, reaching it at night. They were greeted by an actual wolverine named Viqi, and Parus shocks everybody by revealing Linda and Russell were in love, then had them and Zonder separated from Freja and the hares who were put in the same dorm together. The next morning, Russell and Linda joined them, only rendered naked as torture. Kasper shielded Freja's eyes at first, but Freja reasoned she could handle it, and Russell reasoned she could not look forever, and Kasper modifies her bonnet into a makeshift kilt and gives it to Linda, who accepts. They were later set to work in farming the island, but thankfully, their intended rescuers show up and Kasper happily reunites with her father Jaxxon Thistledown, who also brought her friends' loved-ones to boot. Unfortunately Brafilius catches them red-handed and had many vermin surround them, only for Jaxxon to summon many more slaves they had just freed and a battle happened. Freja was kept out of the action, and finds and frees Zonder, Zonder also assuring he didn't mate with any female otter before joining in the liberation. In the end the woodlanders triumph after Parus was slain by a plesiosaur. She later visits Redwall, but sadly could not stay, yet she promises Ganner to return, and he's welcomed to visit them, leading to rumor that Ganner and Kasper could be in love.
