Reepicheep

Reepicheep or Reep for short was a talking mouse warrior who lived during the reign of Caspian X.

Early Life
Little is known about Reepicheep's early life, one of the few things known being that upon Reepicheep's birth a Dryad spoke a verse over him. This verse was:

"Where sky and water meet, Where the waves grow sweet, Doubt not, Reepicheep, To find all you seek, There is the utter east."

This verse stayed with Reepicheep all his life.

Narnian Revolution
During the Narnian Revolution Reepicheep was an Old Narnian, and helped Caspian X in his fight against king Miraz. He was the leader of eleven other mice during this time, among them his second-in-command Peepiceek. They were loyal to him, and when Reepicheep lost his tail, they were even willing to cut off their own tails so that they would not have an honor that was denied to their leader. It was because of this, and what Reepicheep's ancestors did when they bit the cords off Aslan as he lay dead on the stone table, that the lion restored Reepicheep's tail.

Voyage on the Dawn Treader
Reepicheep sailed with King Caspian, on the Dawn Treader, to the Seven Isles and then to end of the world were he entered Aslan's Country (leaving Peepiceek in charge of the talking mice of Narnia) to save a few of the seven lords of Narnia from their slumber. During the voyage, he had some minor problems with Eustace Scrubb, who showed the mouse no respect and once swung him around by his tail. Reepicheep's problems with Eustace ended on Dragon Island, when Eustace was turned into a Dragon. After this (and once Eustace was turned back into Human by Aslan) the two of them became good friends.

Personality
Reepicheep was usually overconfident about his strength and bravery. He was very adventurous. He considered the loss or pulling of his tail a sign of dishonor. He thought much of his honor, and loved to fight in battles, he was also quite good at chess. It was Reepicheep's dream to sail to the end of the world and to Aslan's Country, a dream he achieved at the end of his voyage on the Dawn Treader.
