If I was a character, who would I be...

[Gonff the Mousethief]

Ya! I got one!

A recorder am I
My friend that has died
I was here with the pearls and the wall
The abbes my friend
A vole with medicine
Now I have ink on my paws!

[Vilu Daskar]

Cracklin (spelling?)

[Gonff the Mousethief]

yes it is crakyln

[Tam and Martin]

Yep definitely Craklyn.

It is Jess! Congrats, Gonff.

Jess? Really?

[Gonff the Mousethief]

The last line silent sam

[Blazemane]

I stole from Redwall Abbey,
and they never made me pay.
For unlike every other threat,
my plan was to always run away.

I won with a simple, careful deed,
and still I wish I didn't start.
Although I could and did take by force,
I could never force his heart.

[Wylder Treejumper]

Veil?

[Blazemane]

No, but good idea.

And I should clarify--the character referred to by the pronoun "his" is not the main character of the poem. It's the narrator I'm looking for.

[Jetthebinturong]

The first verse makes me think Slagar/Chickenhound

[Dag Downyfur]

The first verse makes me think Slagar/Chickenhound

Agreed.

[Sailears]

Captain Slipp (Bellmaker)?

[Blazemane]

Captain Slipp (Bellmaker)?

Ooh. Looking at what I wrote, I'd have a really hard time actually successfully arguing that Captain Slipp doesn't fit. He wasn't who I was thinking of, but until I want to really start splitting hairs, he seems to me to be a second correct answer. Sortof takes the wind out of the sails of the whole... "unlike every other threat" line. Drat.

Anyhow, I'm not thinking of Slagar, either.

[Sailears]

Vilaya?

[Wylder Treejumper]

Nay! Tis Mattimeo!

[Blazemane]

It's someone else.
