Tsarmina Greeneyes



Female wildcat and the main antagonist of Mossflower. She was the daughter of Verdauga, the sister of Gingevere, and the niece of Ungatt Trunn. Tsarmina was wicked, cruel, partly insane and very intelligent. Her first order of business in Mossflower was to murder her ill father by using the healer fox, Fortunata, to poison him. She then blamed the deed on her hapless brother and subsequently had him imprisoned in Kotir's dungeons.

Secure as the new tyrantess of Kotir, Tsarmina ruled with an iron claw. She broke the sword of Martin the Warrior when he was brought before her father; he then vowed to one day slay her. As ruler, Tsarmina's main title was Queen of a Thousand Eyes (her other titles included Queen of Mossflower, Lady of the Thousand Eyes, Slayer of Enemies, Ruler of Kotir, Conqueror of all Creatures, and Tsarmina the Magnificent).

Although she was determined to rule all of Mossflower Woods and have the woodlanders as her slaves, she was eventually brought down by the might of Martin the Warrior, who killed her in a terrific battle at the edge of "Lake Kotir." Tsarmina was driven into the lake and her crippling fear of water, together with her wounds and apparent inability to swim, saw to her demise.
