Neildown in real life
I am a fully fledged Catholic Homeschooler, 14 years old, living in MI. I'm firm in my beliefs and will be studying Apologetics in my senior year too. Currently I am a Freshman [I may have told some of you I'm Sophomore accidentally, but I'm Freshman doing Sophomore level religion].

But yeah, my first Redwall book was Lord Brocktree, I decided to read it after a friend told me about the series and I was sick with nothing else to read at the time. I liked it alot more than I initially thought I would and have been reading them for... A few years now, I think. I still haven't read Eulalia! or Bellmaker yet.

My E-mail is: Neil.down@hotmail.com. Don't spam me.

Up to date info

Still doing schoolwork. Still the season of Lent. Still available for a few more art commissions, but they will take awhile until school is over.

My favorite books in Redwall Series

 * 1 The Legend of Luke
 * 2 Pearls of Lutra
 * 3 Redwall
 * 4 Lord Brocktree

I don't have an actual collection of Redwall books, nor will I, but I plan on buying Bellmaker if my library doesn't get it back soon.

At the moment I have Lord Brocktree and Rakkety Tam.

My favorite character of the series has to be Brocktree or Bragoon.

Brocktree's personality best resembles my own. Silent type, kind of a loner, enjoys company but not incessant singing, not too just but not too merciful, a born warrior, and a serious sword fighter.

Other Favorite Characters

 * Brogollaw
 * Saro
 * Russo
 * Grubbage
 * Tammode Formello

Polls
When you read a Redwall book, how do you imagine the characters to look? Realistic / Real life ....Like the illustrations [duh] Semi-realistic [minorly anthro] Cartoonish [Like Redwall TV series] Other?

How do you think 2010 will be? Gonna be great! Should be a good year. Like any other :P. It will be worse than last year. We're all doomed O.O! It's 2010?
