Sister Alkanet was a female mouse Infirmary Keeper of Redwall Abbey. She was a severe and no-nonsense type and one of Redwall's counselors. Alkanet seldom smiled and was constantly worried as there wasn't an Abbess, Abbot, or Champion currently in the Abbey. She suggested that Skipper and his crew ask wanderers about Rillflag and Deyna. One summer, Alkanet treated a goose with a bashed-up wing pinion.
Initially, she was doubtful of Abbess Mhera. She had a famous icy glare and was known for her bad tasting medicine, called "physicks." Alkanet later became Assistant Cellar Keeper after handing her job down to Brother Egburt and Sister Floburt.
