Reepicheep/personality



"O, My gosh, he is so cute." "WHO SAID THAT?!"

- Lucy Pevensie and Reepicheep

Altough Reepicheep seems overconfident about his strength and bravery, he is actually worried about how others perceive him. In Prince Caspian, Reepicheep confesses to Aslan that he feels the need to prove himself to the world. He considered the loss or pulling of his tail a sign of dishonor. Reepicheep learns the lesson of humility by confessing this well-kept secret to Aslan. Unlike many of his fellow Old Narnians, Reepicheep still upholds the old ways of the Narnian Knights. Reepicheep shows his respect by being the First to Acknowledge High King Peter as his Leader. Much like Oreius (LWW movie) the mouse is fiercely loyal to The Kings and Queens of Narnia. He is open, honest, and miserable after he loses his tail at the battle of Aslan's How. Aslan restores Reepicheep's tail, as mentioned above, simply because the mice who served as Fellow Knights of Reepicheep Love and Respect Him. Reepicheep does not need to prove himself to Aslan, because Aslan accepts him just the way he is, with or without the honor of a tail.

Reepicheep is very adventurous. He loved to fight in battles, he was also quite good at chess. It is mentioned in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader book that Reepicheep is an excellent swimmer. It was Reepicheep's dream and all-engrossing desire 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.

In the Disney film Prince Caspian, Reepicheep is very sarcastic, sometimes to comedic effect. One such instance is when Reepicheep replies in a smart-aleck sort of way to Pattertwig's remark about collecting nuts.
