Sunflash the Mace and his life companion Skarlath the kestrel from Brian Jacques book The Outcasts of Redwall. I read the Redwall books when I was a child and now I’m enjoying them as an adult reading with my children. It’s one of the few book series I’ve read that seem to have a unselfconscious balance of strong female and male characters while being unashamedly epic in its storytelling... if that makes sense.
