Mr. Beaver
A loyal friend who guides lost children through snow and shadow toward destiny.
In the frozen heart of Narnia, Mr. Beaver stands as a beacon of warmth and defiance against the White Witch’s eternal winter. More than just a guide, he is a steadfast ally to Aslan and the first Narnian to meet all four Pevensie children. He and his wife shelter the children and tell them of Narnia before leading them to Aslan. Unlike ordinary beasts, he possesses the power of speech and operates from a cozy dam near Beaversdam, where his practical nature masks a deep, unshakeable faith in the true King.
