Bella the Badger

Bella of Brocktree is a badger who appears at Redwall Abbey during the events of Outcast of Redwall. Alongside Abbess Meriam, she decides to entrust the infant ferret Veil to the care of Bryony and Togget. Later, as the Abbey's elder, she banishes Veil from the Abbey after he attempts to poison Friar Bunfold—an attempt that kills a hedgehog who drinks the poisoned water instead. Near the end of the story, Bryony and Togget return to Redwall alone, while Sunflash—her son, whom she has not seen since he was a child—remains at Salamandastron. Bella is never reunited with Sunflash, and she dies many seasons later without seeing him again.
