Cornflower Fieldmouse



Cornflower is the pretty young fieldmouse whom Matthias falls in love with. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fieldmouse, the wife of Matthias, mother of Mattimeo and grandmother of Martin II.

Cornflower was a great help to Redwall Abbey during the Late Rose Summer War, and was able to fend off Cluny the Scourge during one of his attacks. She threw a lantern onto his siege tower which caused it to burst into flames.

When Redwall was under attack by General Ironbeak in the Summer of the Golden Plain, Cornflower came up with an idea to dress up as the ghost of Martin the Warrior to scare the superstitious birds. Her plan worked, and the rooks and magpies became extremely frightened. She would have continued her masquerade, but Abbot Mordalfus then told her to stop because she could have been killed.

Matthias and Mattimeo still were not home yet, and Cornflower began to get very worried. But finally, as she was staring out from the walltop, she saw them coming back. She ran down to greet them.

After they were done telling their story, she was able to relate to them the story of the Redwallers' fight against Ironbeak and the rooks.
