Full Name: Foremole Gruffur Soilturner
*Nick Name(s): Foremole, Gruff, Gruffurs(almost exclusively by other moles)
Gender: Female
Pronouns: she/her/hers
Age: Middle Aged (About 43)
Species: Mole
Appearance: Stout and powerful, though somewhat overweight, Gruffur has dark umber fur which is extremely well-kept and given special care when she's doing something official or attending any sort of gathering. Her eyes are small and black, they tend to disappear almost entirely into the folds of her face when she grins. She's around average height for a mole. She wears plain, serviceable outfits and is usually seen in a short light brown tunic with a thick belt which she often carries tools in and darker brown short pants. Occasionally she might dig out a pair of reading glasses which she uses to see things that are far away and, rarely, read.
Personality: She's shy and emotional as moles tend to be. Easily flattered, very sensible, and generally very polite, however if the abbey is threatened she can be quite devilish with the schemes she comes up with to defend it. She is quite clever and has a good since of humor though she tends not to be very quick with snappy comebacks or quick jokes. She also tends to be a bit self-conscious.
Allies: The Redwallers, her mole crew,
Enemies: Anybeast who threatens Redwall.
Strengths: Her sensible nature keeps her from being caught up in wild schemes; Has powerful arms and legs; Very good with Dibbuns; Very clever
Weakness: Fear of heights; Fear of water; She can be very stubborn over certain issue; Can get tunnel vision (pun totally intended); She's a huge worrywart; Can't move very fast due to having very short legs and being a bit overweight; Afraid of thunder.
*Goal: Protecting Redwall and being helpful
Background: Gruffur grew up in Redwall, the daughter and only child of the previous Foremole who loved her dearly and taught her everything he knew. She lived peacefully with her mother and father in the Abbey until she was twenty when a rabbit who lived out in Mossflower came to Redwall looking for help. The entrance to her warren had been buried in a mudslide and her children and husband were trapped inside. Gruffer's father was a virtuous mole and would not turn his back on anyone who needed help, even at the risk of his life, so even though the conditions for tunneling were horrible he and two of his moles rushed to the rescue. He managed to tunnel in and save the two young ones, but as he was trying to rescue the father the whole cave and tunnel collapsed, the two moles who had assisted their Foremole were blown clear by the rush of air escaping, but Gruffur's father and the rabbit he had been trying to save were crushed. In the aftermath of this tragedy Gruffur showed remarkable fortitude and despite her own grief she managed to keep the mole crew's spirits up, the moles soon asked her to be Foremole, feeling that she was the best mole for the job and that her father would have wanted her to take over for him.
*Quirks: Hums to herself a lot, she really likes fixing things and often isn't at ease unless her digging claws are working on something or other.
*Weapons: Her hammer (though it's not actually meant for battle and she'd prefer not to have to use it)
*Other things that may be important: She's can read, but only a little and she's so near-sighted that she has to wear glasses to see the words at all. She's probably Panromantic/Asexual.
