Mrs. Beaver

""The first thing [Lucy] saw was a kind-looking old she-beaver sitting in the corner with a thread in her mouth working busily at her sewing machine.""

- The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Chapter 7

Mrs. Beaver, also known as She-Beaver, was the wife of Mr. Beaver. Both of them aided the Pevensie children in their escape from the Witch's Secret Police. She was fussy and overcareful, but very kind-hearted, and was dedicated to helping the Pevensies free Narnia from the White Witch. She was also very practical; when the group realized that Jadis might arrive within twenty minutes, and they were preparing to flee the Beavers' Dam, she took a few extra minutes to pack food for the journey, despite the protests of Susan and Mr. Beaver. She would have brought some pillows, too, if the others hadn't been in such a fuss.

Biography
She was born and lived during the Age of Winter under the White Witch's rule, and never believed Jadis's claim that she herself was human, but did believe her to be thoroughly bad.

She never imagined that she would live to see the Winter Revolution, and was delighted when her husband arrived home with the Pevensies. She was sewing in her chair when Lucy walked in, which she did a lot of.

After she and her husband had explained to the children about the White Witch, Aslan, and the Golden Age Prophecy, and discovered that Edmund had betrayed them all by running to the Witch, she helped the remaining Pevensies by abandoning her home, and running straight to the Stone Table to meet with Aslan.

Along the way, they met none other than Father Christmas, which indicated that Jadis's power was indeed weakening. Because of Mrs. Beaver's love for sewing, he gave her a brand new sewing machine as a Christmas present.

Mrs. Beaver was the one that told the Pevensie children that Edmund had been rescued from the Witch by Aslan's forces.

It is unknown what she did during the First Battle of Beruna, but after the battle she took care of Edmund, who had been critically wounded after fighting the White Witch, until the rest of the Pevensies arrived and Lucy healed Edmund with her cordial. Both she and her husband were present at the Pevensies' coronation.

They no doubt continued to serve their new rulers, both as their loyal subjects and devoted friends, until the Pevensies were swept back to their own world.

What became of them after that is unknown. According to Nikabrik, Jadis stamped out the beavers; at any rate, there were no more beavers in Narnia by the time of Prince Caspian. When Narnia's history finally came to an end, she, along with her husband, were among the ones allowed in Aslan's Country, and were reunited with the Pevensies.
