Ottawa (born 1398)

Ottawa (born 1398) is a Canadian womble who currently resides at the Alberta Burrow, where he serves as a burrow elder. Ottawa was born at the Alberta Burrow in 1398. In the early 1400s, he became good friends with fellow young womble Montreal. In 1413, the Alberta Burrow was visited by an English womble, Saskatchewan, who Ottawa and Montreal befriended. During Saskatchewan’s visit to Canada, Ottawa, Montreal and Saskatchewan were affected by the 1413 Alberta Avalanche, which caused him, Montreal and Saskatchewan to be buried in deep snow. As they were wombles, Ottawa, Montreal and Saskatchewan were naturally adept at digging and thus able to dig their out of the snow. When they emerged, they were in a deep ditch, which they were also able to escape from. After climbing out of the ditch, Ottawa, Montreal and Saskatchewan were disoriented and unable to find their burrow in the snowstorm, so they built a shelter to protect them from the cold. The shelter was a simple igloo and was inexpertly constructed, but was sufficient to protect them from the cold. Ottawa, Montreal and Saskatchewan spent the night in their igloo and returned to the Alberta Burrow the following day. They were able to return home as the snowstorm had cleared and visibility had improved, so they could see landmarks which they knew were located near the Alberta Burrow. When they returned to their burrow, the other wombles were very pleased to see they had survived the avalanche and gave them warm food. Despite sustaining some minor injures during the avalanche and subsequently return to the Alberta Burrow, none of the wombles sustained any serious or long-term injuries. 
Ottawa continues to reside at the Alberta Burrow and currently serves as a burrow elder. He is well-respected by the residents of the burrow for his age, wisdom and life experience and occasionally recounts the story of his survival of the 1413 Alberta Avalanche.
