‘ello! My name is Lire an’ I’m a young female otter kit. I come from Longpaws’ Holt.
I ‘ave bright blue eyes that twinkle (or so me Uncle Skipper says!) an’ light, almost gold, shiny fur. I ‘ave a good strong rudder an’ I’m an excellent swimmer.
The otters that live at my Holt are all different from normal otters. We ‘ave slightly longer ears an’ slightly larger foot paws (that’s why we are Longpaws). We have ‘uge appetites. This is because my great great great great great grandfather wasn’t an otter at all. He was actually a hare. He had retired from the Long Patrol and he met my great great great great great grandmother. He settled down and so came our Holt.
I love reading and I have done since I was in infancy (I’m 5 seasons old now) that’s why me name is Lire. My mother says it’s ‘read’ in a different language. I ‘ave a ‘eavy book. I take it everywhere! It’s called ‘A Little Otter’s Guide To Everything She Needs To Know’. I love shrimp ‘n’ hotroot soup.
I came to Redwall because I wasn’t comfy at my Holt so me father, mother and me Uncle Skipper asked me Auntie Ivy to take me in at Redwall and here I am, Lire Longpaws.
Me Uncle Skipper ain't really the true Skipper of otters cos me Holt's in another region but 'cos he's real strong everyone calls him Skipper, though he is really called Canyon, plus he's in charge of our holt. Me Mother is called Willow and before she was married to me father she was Willow Clearwater. Me dad, River Longpaws, is second in command to his big brother Skipper.
Our holt is quite small, it's nothin' huge. It's made up of fourteen willow trees. There are only 31 otters there, 30 now cos I'm not there. At one end there is a small waterfall. It's not deadly if you go down it. Behind the waterfall there is a small cave. it's actually quite cosy. That's where me an' me mateys always used to hang out.
The most exciting thing i've done would be when me an' me two friends found some gold and some diamond at the back of our cave. It wasn't a large amount but between the three of us we shared it out and with our small piece each we got asked a badger smith to make them into necklaces.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…….. I smell some soup. I’ll see you later matey!
