right|300pxGald Bowstripe is a female badger who plays the badger-mum for Riftgard in Frozen Terror.
==Biography==
===Frozen Terror===
She first appears riding a horse through a snowstorm when a Neovenator attacks, and while she survives, her horse doesn't. Despite losing her ride, she does make it to the coast and takes a boat to Riftgard. 
Upon arriving at the fjord, she spends the night on the beach, then makes her way by morning. She was unaware that Nihilus the Fiend had taken over Riftgard until it was too late: the second she arrived, she was apprehended. She later was present when Potamo and Osclor Wildlough were executed by Nihilus, though she herself was assigned to care for their daughter Korlac Wildlough. Gald was able to console the otter princess, who took witnessing her parents' deaths hard.
She wasn't seen again until the prince of Riftgard, Vaniel Wildlough, returned with a rescue party. Gald was speechless when her brother Adelmo Bowstripe, the badger-lord of Salamandastron, appears in the dungeon, and with him were the Long Patrol, Zimber, Myodes Lightpaw, Pryce and Saffo, all having come to free Riftgard. In the battle that erupted, Gald witnessed Zimber get slain by Nihilus' minion Tritannus and promptly kills him as a result. At the same time Nihilus was eliminated by Pryce.
In the aftermath, she once again plays councilor, only this time with Pryce after Zimber dies. She was also the one to suggest burying him beside the royal otters, and everybody approved. She then bids farewell to her brother and the redwallers as she officially becomes Riftguard's badger-mum. Several seasons later she attends the wedding of Saffo and Vaniel.

She first appears walking with Korlac finding Nowl Redkite worrying over Vaniel and his family, and suggests they do something fun together. Later, she was watching Helia and Nowl spar. The next day, sea rats arrive on the island, but Gald, along with Nowl and Helia, manage to scare them off.
She isn't seen again until the very end, welcoming the royal otters and the newly introduced Macko and Pietro Stump.
==Appearance==
