If Brian jacques wanted to show all vermin were evil by blood, he would have had the redwallers treat Veil kindly, and teach him to overcome his faults, but in the books, they are insulting to the young ferret. Their is no redwall book, correct be if I'm wrong, were any creature randomly becomes evil and wants to kill, so what Flinky did is not impulse, if could be fear or bad-heart, but not blood, it's the animal Brian Jacques chooses. No mystery. Tne reason I like Romsca is because she overcame her old life of murder. Not because overcome a mythical vermin personality.
