Sister Diffen

Sister Diffen is the infirmary-keeper of Redwall in Frozen Terror.
==Biography==
===Frozen Terror===
She first appears bidding Zimber, Pryce, Myodes Lightpaw and Saffo farewell on their trip to Riftgard.
A week later, Blackfire Warfang strikes, taking Myodes' father Onewa Lightpaw prisoner when the vole tried chasing the rat to kill her then and there. By dawn, she had a window broken by the dibbuns Adorjan, Skarloey and Teedle Reguba, inciting her fury. Sometime later, Blackfire returns with Onewa as prisoner, of course Diffen chose to fight back, but this allowed the dibbun-trio she hates to sneak out and runaway. Blackfire returns the next day revealing that the dibbuns have joined her Black Death Army. While the dibbuns' parents opted to surrender for the sake of their children, Diffen would rather fight, which infuriated Skarloey's father Noptar into accusing her of being cold. The two almost got into a fight when Sunspot stops them and Abbot Wingbreath reasons this was part of Blackfire's plan: to divide them, but the parents still refuse to oppose Blackfire while their children were caught in it. Diffen doesn't take part in the battle that later arrives, but she did watch from the wall-top. Thankfully, after the guosim arrive, Blackfire was slain along with her army (minus two) and the dibbuns saw the error of their ways and return, though Noptar was injured from fighting a dromaeosaur that tried to eat him, much to Diffen's shock. Pryce Saffo and Myodes return later on pterosaurs, where they have a story to tell. It can be assumed Diffen continued to remain the abbey's medic after this, and she attended the wedding of Saffo and Vaniel Wildlough.

At some point, she took Teedle under her wing when the squirrel showed interest in healing, and plans to someday retire her position to her. She was first seen tending Pryce's beestings: having secretly been hopeful Pryce would come in so Diffen could teach Teedle. Unfortunately the lesson was cut short when Myodes announces vermin were afoot. Afterward, she enlisted the dartford-warbler Curruca to ask Salamandastron for aid. Vaniel then showed up with the guosim, who had been attacked by Pica Eipgam, and Diffen was quick to render aid, though when Pryce's wife Cilghal suddenly went into labor, Diffen turned her full attention to the dormouse, and makes Pryce keep his cool due to being phobic of childbirth (after what happened to his mother), though thankfully, neither Cilghal nor their daughter Muscardinus were killed by the ordeal.
The next day, Adorjan returns with hares to combat Pica, though Diffen felt sending Curruca off to inform them when they had already found out themselves via Adelmo Bowstripe's psychic-powers had been pointless. At sunset, after a skirmish where Pica attacked with a Springald, Diffen treated the wounded woodlanders. She isn't seen again until after the climatic battle, where she gives her congrats to Dile and Macko starting a relationship. The next day she finally bestowed her position to Teedle.
