Nomi

right|300pxNomi is a female normal-colored mole and love interest of Kav Furrel.
==Biography==
===Invasion of Bugs===
She first appears greeting her friends and her crush, then brings them up the west wall to look at the sunset. The moment though was spoiled by Darovit interrupting, but they were saved by the bell. She later joins in the feast until Wuya the Toxic arrived at Redwall.
The next day, she was practicing with her crossbow until Koor reveals the guosim were getting slaughtered by Wuya. When the adolescents arrive, they beheld a massacre with only a dozen or so shrews still alive, and after helping the survivors to Redwall at the behest of Scarlette Broadstripe, she and her friends sulked in cavern-hole until Bairdon Bardwing cheers them up with his own experience of battles. While training more, she and the other moles sense Wuya's horde digging, and dig their own tunnel to intercept, which resulted in foiling the vermin. They then follow Brother Esuom to the attic as Kav decided to use Martin's shield and armor for next time, but he turned out too fat for the latter. Afterward, she and Kav were spending some quality time together until Wuya returned with a Mangonel. Nomi remained in Redwall, but the attacks from the mangonel proved to be a diversion when Alzbeta Grang discovered some vermin sneaking into the abbey. Nomi fired a rock at Slashtail, but it doesn't kill her. Even so, they foil the enemy again by sending Wuya falling off the wall, though it failed to kill her, something Nomi had suspected.
At night, she was having a girls' night out with Alzbeta and Myotis in cavern-hole, where she believes Wuya and her horde are edible, then they began talking about the boys, with Alzbeta and Myotis poking fun that Kav was standing shirtless in the rain to impress her. They then go outside to see for themselves, and Nomi was just about to ask Scarlette if she's seen Kav and Erinaceus Quill, but the boys show up themselves, and as expected they were posing shirtless in the rain.
By day, Parus the Manipulator arrives with plans from Wuya, but the bird tries to steal from the abbey. During her attempts to escape, Nomi fires a rock at her, damaging Parus' left-cheek, but failed to bring her down and she dodges the second shot. When Nomi tried to shoot her again, Parus was long gone. Not long after, Darovit was reported missing and a search had been organized to find him, but failed. She catches Kav sneaking away to cavern-hole and follows him, where he confesses that he feels Darovit's disappearance was his fault, much to her shock. Even more concerning was if Darovit joined Wuya out of his jealousy toward Kav, though Nomi prayed he didn't.
At night, she was watching Kav train with Alzbeta until Bairdon arrives to request Myotis to join him in a stakeout to Moledeep, and Myotis hopes to assassinate Wuya, though ends up killing one of her lackeys. Kav was the only one who didn't believe Wuya was truly dead, and it prevented him from celebrating with everyone else. He left the party, and Nomi followed him, finding him on a wall. She was shocked to hear that Kav suspects Wuya had somehow found out about their intention and had prepared for it. They both sleep on the wall, but were awakened when the vermin attack again, and Wuya turned out to be not dead after all. Nomi fired on the vermin's Battering ram, but it's shields protected the users until Erin suggested setting it on fire, and Nomi threw a flaming arrow at the ram, incinerating it, and foiling Wuya once more.
The next morning before dawn, Darovit, who had disappeared, returned and let Wuya into Redwall, and Nomi was among those captured. While Kav agreed to dual Wuya to the death, Darovit switched back to Redwall's side and freed everyone. Nomi didn't participate much in the battle that followed, but she notably saved Volkner Streamdog from Slashtail, breaking the wasp's skull with one shot, and killed her with another. Kav in turn killed Wuya sometime after. She remained in Redwall afterwards, and one day she and Kav married, and they now consider having kids.
===Parus Rides Again===
At one point, she and Kav bear a daughter they name Freja Furrel. One night, she helped set up tables for the anniversary of Kav being the abbey-champion. At first the party was going splendidly, but their old foe Parus returns with a so called "circus", kidnaps Freja along with Ganner Grang and Zonder Banksnout, and kill Nomi's mother-in-law Telma Furrel and Vakama Foeseeker. Nomi was unconscious during it all, but after Kav wakes her up and she sees everyone else had passed out, she was puzzled at first, but quickly drew a connection when she recalled the circus, which was confirmed by the eurasian-siskin Spinus. A search later conducted only turned up the corpses of Vakama and Telma, and later in a meeting, Alzbeta claims to have found a feather that belongs to Parus, which stunned everybody as they thought Parus was killed by Wuya, and when they question why Parus would take Freja and the two teenagers, Nomi feels it was payback for shooting her in the cheek, while any other reason was believed to be attributed to Parus' own actions. The next morning, she saw Kav, Erin, Alzbeta, Spinus and Myotis off to get the three children back.
A day after, she and Esuom tried to deduce where Parus would take slaves to, eventually concluding Castle Marl as the most likely place. She then left to check on Freja's friends Zootoca, Algot Muskar and Gjord, who were down due to Freja's abduction. Sometime later Koor arrives with some unsettling news: a tribe of rats were nearby and most likely trying to raid Redwall. One night, she tries to practice her archery to take her mind off things, and chats with Erin's wife Hedwig lamenting that Jori Quill misses her father, which Nomi sympathizes. In the morning, Nomi started to feel jealous of Hedwig. Scarlette takes pity on her tries to relieve her of chores, though Nomi objects that Scarlette was overdoing it, and wound up right too.
The next day, she again practices her archery, but was getting the feeling her husband and daughter in something big, a feeling Hedwig and Erah Grang share. Sometime later, she stares out from the wall impatiently, and was found by Esuom, who tries to encourage her to be patient, but at that moment Volkner arrives claiming they've returned, and Nomi caught sight of Myotis approaching, leading her to believe Volkner and spread the word. She happily reunites with Kav and Freja and meets the new faces. Several days after, she attended the wedding of Alzbeta and Poove.
==Appearance==
She wears a black-bonnet and a pink-kirtle with a chemise. Her weapon is a Bullet-shooting crossbow.
==Personality==
Generally the same as most moles: compassionate, brave and so on. Like a real mole, she has a taste for bugs, something she shares with Myotis, though it's unlikely she'd be willing to eat those of Wuya's horde due to their sentience. Even worse, Freja's three friends up and disappear, with Scarlette recalling they appeared to be planning for something, which made Nomi realize they had broken out of Redwall to go after Freja themselves. Fater searching for the three with no results, Nomi couldn't help but admire their courage.
