Calla was a male baby hare. He was the son of Clarinna and Clerun Kordyne, twin brother of Urfa, nephew of Buckler Kordyne, grandson of Adarin Kordyne and Major Doughty, and the great-grandson of Feryn Kordyne.
He and his family lived peacefully on a farm until Ravagers kidnapped him and his sister, killing his father and wounding his mother in the process. The hares were taken to Althier, where they were imprisoned with the other kidnapped young ones. Along with Tassy and Jinty Witherspyk, he was used as a hostage; their lives in return for Redwall Abbey. However, this plan failed. Calla was very young when he was kidnapped and could hardly walk, which slowed everyone down during their escape. After the babes escaped, he and his sister were placed in the care of Mumzy until it was safe for him and his sister to live at Redwall Abbey with his mother.
Trivia[]
- By birthright, the broadsword of Feryn Kordyne should have been passed to him, but his mother gave it to his uncle Buckler Kordyne, saying Calla had no use for it and was to grow up a peaceful creature. Buckler later tutored Ambrevina Rockflash in the art of fencing with the sword.
