Tailfight

right|300pxTailfight is a female sparrow and one of the main characters of Shrew Soldier.
==Biography==
Sometime ago, she caught Tash Stag Otter red-handed for impersonating her kin, but was so fascinated in him that she constantly followed him everywhere (and some suspect she fell in love). 
She first appears body-slamming Tash the second he and Saba arrive in Redwall. In the night she received a dream about shrews enslaved to a villainous bird and Martin, and in the morning finds her friends (Tash, Saba and Backle Squirrel) had the exact same dream.
A few days later, they get attacked by Commander Steeltalon. Tailfight joined Tash and Saba in protecting an injured Luminara, then accepts Backle's request to eliminate Frostfinger the marten, nearly getting shot by Takadox the weasel in the process. Upon engaging Frostfinger, Tailfight disarms her of her sling and engages in a swordfight with daggers, eventually defeating Frostfinger with a combination of confusion and fast-reflexes.
In the aftermath, it became official that Tailfight and her three friends would be the ones to locate the missing guosim and rescue them. Tailfight bids a heartful farewell to her parents before leaving.
Tailfight and her friends encountered many things on their quest: they received help from an elderly weasel named Parsinkel, then witnessed a pack of Pelecanimimus hunt down wild horses. They then meet a snake named Bablo beaten to a pulp, and get ambushed by Steeltalon. Despite outnumbering the raven, he puts up a fight until Bablo helps, and eventually they kill him. Sometime after, they arrive at Salamandastron to ask help from Brockthorn the Sturdy and his Long Patrol. The badger and hares agreed, then struck Steeltalon's ship the Steelwing, where Steeltalon's last remaining corsairs lay waiting for their leader. After that thirteen hares (lead by Major Kimiko Thyme Dillworthy) join them on their mission.
During the voyage, Tailfight suffered from seasickness and could only eat while aloft. Upon discovering they would face a seagull named Snoke the Vicious, Tailfight and the other woodlanders (minus Tash) would be disguised as prisoners while Tash and Bablo would be their captors. The plan did get them into the compound, but fell apart after a slave named Yeal identified Saba and Snoke concluded she was Redwall's champion, erupting into a war. Tailfight squared off with a gannet named Featherwhip, though both proved equally-matched until Tailfight lures her toward Backle. The gannet avoided getting shot, but this allowed Tailfight to get over and attack from above: killing Featherwhip by driving her dagger into the evil-bird's skull.
After Saba kills Snoke and the compound was destroyed, Tailfight noticed Tash meet a female otter named Kagalin, and was initially sad by this. She did find love of her own though: Sixteen seasons later, it was said she met and married a male sparrow and is expecting eggs.
==Appearance==
She wears a green-vest and black-pants. Her preferred weapon is a dagger.
==Personality==
A bit hyperactive like most sparrows, she has an obsession with Tash that stems from witnessing him mimicking her species, some even believed she had a crush on him, as proven when she was initially upset at seeing Tash with Kagalin, but she got over it. Aside from all this, she is a genuinely loyal friend and would do anything for others.
