Sailears

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Brian Jacques's fantasy world of Redwall, Sailears was an old female hare living in the legendary mountain stronghold of Salamandastron during the time of Badger Lord Stonepaw. She was so named because of her unusually large ears.

During the invasion and initial battle with the forces of Wildcat Warlord Ungatt Trunn, Sailears, Torleep, and some two score other hares were taken captive by Trunn's forces and locked away in one of the high mountain chambers. The captives were fed no food and given only a pail of water. Sailears' quick-thinking came in handy during Stiffener Medick's rescue attempt, and she was able to jam the lock on the door, preventing Trunn's hordebeasts from entering the room and ensuring the safe escape of all of the captives.

Sailears later became part of the Bark Crew, a disguised group of otters and hares who intercepted Trunn's scouts and foragers. She was also part of the group Lord Brocktree chose to accompany him as he infiltrated Salamandastron through the catacombs beneath the mountain. Sailears survived the battle of Salamandastron and saw Brocktree become a Badger Lord.
