This is my biography, the biography of Gingerspark. It is written by Kreythen, because I cannot write.
I do not remember my parents. All I remember is an old hare sire who brought me up in a cave by the sea. He told me my story and his story, and I still remember what he said very well.
"You see, my young lady, I ran away from the Mountain of the Fire Lizard long ago. I had to run because I became friends with a wildcatmaid, much like you. She had the same markings and colors. Her name was Larinda Swaytail. But anyway, one day, Col. Follyrugg saw a horde marching up. The Colonel said that the wildcatmaid had brought the horde. He told me I should never be friends with vermin. I knew that. But she was my friend, and I had to get her away safely. So we ran that night, as to protect her from the other hares and the vermin. I was young and rash then, but I do not regret running. When we came here, she told me this was the safest place to be. We stayed. It happened one day about two months later. When I awoke, she was gone, but in her place was you. A little wildcat maid. There was a note too." There he would stop and show me the note. It read:
This is my daughter. Call her Gingerspark Browneyes, but be careful. She is in much danger.
He would then stop and put me to sleep, every night after he went foraging.
One night however, he didn't come home from foraging. I waited for two days, but he did not come. I was a little kitten then, and I wailed and yelped. I went around, searching for the hare sire. But he was not there. I set around, looking for food, and caught a fish. I ate it and went to sleep, exhausted. When I awoke, a young female otter was cradling me. So I lived with her for sometime. One day, we went swimming. We went up north a bit. I played in the sand, then I found a smooth, flat stone with writing on it. I managed to read it. This is what it said:
This is the memorial of my family. My evil and hated grandfather, Ungatt Trunn, his one-season mate, Zirrand Vaguering, their daughter Sayna Samnura, her mate Xaraind Varatier, their son Faradieth Gingerstripe. Faradieth my mate, and Faradieth the good wildcat. Me, Larinda Swaytail, my daughter Gingerspark Browneyes. I leave this to those who find it, but remember me and Faradieth, who fought against our own parents for the goodbeasts.
After I read this, I took it to my otter guardian, and she told me the tale of Lord Brocktree and Ungatt Trunn. I was very distressed, and that night, I ran away. I followed a travler, an old mouse, and he took me in. He was a story-teller. Around us, word was spreading about me. I kept in hiding, and traveled with the mouse, Baylin. We arrived in Redwall some time later, and so we have stayed here. Baylin however, decided to go traveling again, and now I live with Sandy and Kreythen at Redwaaaaaaaall!
