Scalewing

Scalewing is a female purple emperor butterfly and the main healer for Wuya the Toxic. She first appears being listed as accounted for by Wuya, then left to guard Moledeep as Wuya pays Redwall-Abbey a visit. By day, she joins in the undermining operation on the abbey, but doesn't take part in the digging or the brawl that followed, and the mission was a failure. She also had a minimal role in the second attack, being only seen to help Wuya after she was sent falling off a wall. In the night, Scalewing, along with Goldback, tended to Wuya's wounds, but Scalewing didn't have that much experience with fall-victims (possibly due to her allies being able to fly), and was forced to relinquish the role to Parus the Manipulator, con-artist great tit Goldback has history with, though Wuya made sure Scalewing checked the medicine for poisons, and agreed to leave Wuya with Parus without argument. After Parus was done, she and Goldback investigated the bedchamber to make sure nothing was stolen, but something was: the plans for a third attack on Redwall. Luckily for Scalewing, Wuya predicted this and the plans were merely bait.
She isn't seen again until two days later, where she joins in a fourth assault, and killed a mouse up on a wall, but once again the vermin were beaten. At night though, the horde succeed at conquering Redwall after Wuya persuaded Darovit to help them for a chance of vengeance. Scalewing was among those rounding up the residents and reprimanded Raoul for simply talking. She and the horde later make the mistake of taking their eyes off the prisoners when Darovit freed them, and Scalewing herself took part in the battle, attacking from above. She kills the shrew Genevieve, but was in turn killed by Darovit.
==Appearance==
She wears a white-gown, a belt and for some reason a helmet. Her weapon is a Crossbow.
==Trivia==
*In reality, Scalewing's species, Purple Emperor Butterfly, stand out as having a rather disgusting appetite: they feed on bodily fluids from carcasses.
