Mariel Gullwhacker

Mariel Gullwhacker is the daughter of Joseph the Bellmaker.

While on a sea voyage to Salamandastron to deliver a bell, her ship the Periwinkle was abducted by corsairs. She was captured by Gabool the Wild and held in captivity until he tossed her into the ocean during a violent storm.

Barely surviving, Mariel woke up on the shore with a great loss of memory. Only knowing that she came from the storm, she called herself "Storm". While on the beach she was harassed by seagulls. To fend these birds off, she beat them with a thick knotted rope, which she called her "gullwhacker". She appended this suffix to her new first name, thus becoming "Storm Gullwhacker".

Mariel made her way to Redwall Abbey, where she regained her knowledge of who she was. While there she befriended Dandin and Saxtus.

Mariel, Dandin, Tarquin Longleap Woodsorrel, and Durry Quill set off from Redwall to engage Gabool in battle on his island, Terramort.

After success in this mission, Dandin and Mariel went south to assist the denizens of Castle Floret.

After another triumph of good over evil, Dandin, Mariel, and their new friend Bowly Pintips set sail in the Pearlqueen, seeking even more adventure.
