Rimrose Swifteye was a female squirrel. She was the wife of Janglur, a daughter-in-law of Ellayo, and the mother of Songbreeze. When the Marlfoxes laid siege to Redwall Abbey, she and Sister Sloey healed the wounded.
She also helped to prepare Redwall Midsummer Feast with Ellayo. Together, she helped Lady Cregga Rose Eyes fire an arrow over a huge distance and kill Ascrod, one of the Marlfoxes.
After the Marlfoxes were defeated and everything returned to normal, she became the apprentice recorder to Friar Butty, and observed in a postscript that one is "...never too old to learn."
