Poove

right|300pxPoove is a male hare from Camp Tussock and one of the heroes of Parus Rides Again.
==Biography==
He was first seen harvesting the last crops. He then went to check on Kasper Thistledown, but finds her basket spilled and several footprints that couldn't belong to a single hare, and finds she was kidnapped by Parus the Manipulator. He quickly notified the parents Kasper's father Jaxxon Thistledown chose to go after the great-tit with Poove. They followed to near Redwall before stopping for a night. The two weren't seen for a while until they run afoul with Fleshtooth and Halfear, with Poove tackling the latter and eventually killing him, then meets the redwallers Kav Furrel, Erinaceus Quill, Myotis, Alzbeta Grang and Spinus, whom Poove discovers have also had loved-ones taken from them by Parus (Kav's daughter Freja Furrel, Alzbeta's brother Ganner Grang, and the otter Zonder Banksnout, and seasons earlier Myotis' parents), and resolve to team up. He also develops feelings for Alzbeta. During the trek, they run into Reggie Swordmaid, Howard Axehound and Sasha Churchmouse who were looking for Reggie's twin brother Russell Swordmaid, leading the seven to believe Parus had kidnapped yet another woodlander, but it brings their number up to ten. 
The next day, all ten pursuers set off after Parus and by luck run into the guosim. Log-a-log Raoul sends up to ten shrews to join the ten, one of them being Láilá Bigboat, bringing the party up to twenty. Later in the day, they arrive at a swamp, but none saw Parus watching from the air. She later springs a trap on them: sending an army of toads to get rid of them, and Poove kills one toad, sending it falling on a nest full of eggs, and worse, what he thought was a mound of earth turned out to be a Baryonyx the owner of the nest, and joins the attack, eventually cornering all the rescuers except Howard in a dead-end cave, but Howard manages to lure the dinosaur away, and once they were clear, Howard claims to have seen all their loved-ones temporarily free. Continuing to trek through the swamp, they make the gruesome discovery of finding Whitebelly dead and headless. Kav deduced the woodpecker was watching their loved-ones when they escaped, and Parus killed him for it. Leaving the carcass behind, they set up camp in a clearing for the night, though during the night, Myotis arrives with Freja's friends Zootoca, Gjord and Algot Muskar, and the party reluctantly take them along.
Two days later, they finally catch up to Parus' lackeys at Great Inland Lake, only to find them in the midst of an argument. After Sasha kills Brownarm, they learn that Parus ditched them and took the slaves alone to Marlfox Island. Howard immediately kills Spearbeak when she tried to attack, while the remaining three (Fuzzface, Botaurus and Xof Chopsnout) smartly surrender. They later take their prisoners with them to the island by swimming in the water, but a freshwater plesiosaur claims the vermin's lives, leaving them to come up with a new plan. Luckily they reach Marlfox Island, then break free all the slaves before finding their loved ones, but after reuniting with their intended targets, Brafilius catches them in a trap, and the woodlanders were immediately backed up by the freed slaves. During the battle that ensued, Poove, along with Reggie and Spinus, tackle the wildcat Brafilius, though Poove himself was incapacitated while Spinus faired worse, but Reggie managed to succeed. In the end, Parus was killed by another Brancasaurus, but Spinus was officially lost to the Dark Forest. He later visits Redwall, meeting Alzbeta's mother Erah Grang, then proposes to Alzbeta, or at least tried to. Either way, several days later, they marry.
