Onewa Lightpaw

Onewa Lightpaw is a vole and the father of Myodes Lightpaw.
==Biography==
===Frozen Terror===
He was first seen doing his duty when the dibbuns Skarloey, Adorjan and Teedle Reguba were causing mischief. He was about to stop it, but several other adults beat him to it. 
A few days after, Blackfire Warfang the rat shows up. Onewa, believing the threat should end before it even begins, chases her out of Redwall, but this would be his undoing as Blackfire lures him right into her horde and Sidorak snares him with a bolas. Come morning, Blackfire uses him as a bargaining-chip to no avail. A day after, he learns that the rambunctious dibbuns have left Redwall in favor of Blackfire's rule-free nature, with Adorjan personally greeting Onewa. The vole tries to reason with him, but Adorjan, still full of hate towards Redwall's strictness, blows him off and leaves. Come nightfall, Skipper Depa and Lentorb sneak into the camp and the former frees Onewa, right when the Black Death Army move to attack Redwall, but Ogron remained and the three woodlanders capture him, and while Lentorb took the stoat to Redwall, Onewa and Depa follow the horde. They find the dibbuns baring witness to the carnage, and Onewa saw it as an opportunity to sway them back, but only succeeded with Teedle as the boys were more stubborn and flee. After sending Teedle to reason with them, Onewa and Depa join the battle. He engages Sidorak for a bit, but let log-a-log Jolee Rosebud go at him next. In the end Blackfire was defeated, particularly when she discovers the dibbuns had left (and emphasizes by killing one lackey), and even better, all three dibbuns return to Redwall. It can be assumed he continued to act as a guard for the abbey since.

He first appears herding many woodlanders into the abbey, just when Saffo, Retto Wildlough and Zorran Wildlough arrive. Not long after that, Vaniel Wildlough and the guosim arrive. 
A day later, Adorjan returns and Onewa was in a meeting in cavern-hole. At dusk, he and Malani Swiftback were standing guard when Pica Eipgam and his horde attack, and Onewa immediately went to alert Ingrid to ring the bells, then leaves the abbey to meet the vermin personally. He teams up with Noptar (reminiscing about their fight against Blackfire), but sadly, Noptar was hurt, and Onewa found himself confronted by Smartmouth the stoat, but everything comes to a stop when a dinosaur roars out into the night and heads their way. After the vermin leave, Onewa drags Noptar to Redwall, gaining assistance by Skarloey, but sadly, Noptar would die in the infirmary. Onewa returned to guard duty and kept an eye on the Baryonyx that had feasted on the battle's casualties, then catches sight of Pica attracting the beast, which gave him the feeling the magpie was gonna use the dinosaur as a weapon and once more informs Ingrid to put the abbey on full alert. His suspicions proved founded as the Baryonyx began attacking them in the hopes to get a sturgeon, but later backed off. 
By morning, several of Pica's prisoners arrived at Redwall after escaping Camp Willow and Onewa befriends one of them: a male vole named Jsky who has feelings for Myodes and vice versa. Onewa made him promise to take care of Myodes should anything happen to him. He later spars with Adorjan and was impressed with the young badger. By afternoon, the woodlanders head to Camp Willow, though Onewa joins Wibble Pintips, Corwin Quincewold, Pietro Stump, Macko, Jsky and his daughter in freeing the rest of the prisoners still there. Onewa kills Smudgeface, but was ultimately killed himself by Driptooth. Luckily he was avenged by Wibble, but his daughter was completely devastated. After Pryce killed Pica, Myodes and Jsky transport Onewa back to Redwall, and he was later buried at St. Ninian's. Luckily, his daughter and Jsky do begin a relationship.
