Trail was a sly female squirrel from Whitewings Island who came to Mistmantle with Lord Treeth, Scatter, and Bronze to kidnap Urchin. She later died in the collapse of King Silverbirch's Fortress.

History[]

Urchin and the Heartstone[]

She was sent to Mistmantle Island with Bronze, Scatter and Lord Treeth to kidnap Urchin and bring him to Whitewings by King Silverbirch, because Urchin was said to be "The Marked Squirrel". The ultimate goal for the kidnapping was to sacrifice for Smokewreath, King Silverbirch's evil sorcerer, in order to find silver. Creeper also arrived with them, but hidden in secret, stowed away in a chest.

Trail wasn't very friendly, but she was polite with Urchin, Needle, and Sepia, who welcomed her and the rest of the Whitewings crew.

Along with Bronze and Scatter, Trail insisted that Urchin should go and see their ship at sunset. When he did, they took him hostage and drugged him so that he couldn't escape or call for help. They bound him up in a small rowing boat and escaped by water with him, away from Mistmantle and through the Enchanted Mists to Whitewings Isle.

Trail was the first to notice that some of the food on the boat was missing, and she immediately blamed Urchin for its disappearance, while it was actually taken by Juniper, who followed them to try and help Urchin, and who was hanging onto the side of the boat. Trail soon realized that Urchin couldn't have stolen any of it, and blamed Bronze instead for the missing food, quarrelling with him.

At Whitewings, Bronze and Trail's relationship began to deteriorate, with Bronze's imperious attitude getting on Trail's nerves. When Bronze confided in Trail that he wanted to become the new Lord Marshal and replace Granite, Trail told Granite of Bronze's plans, which caused Granite to order for Bronze's death. While this may not have been the ultimate goal Trail intended for, she showed no remorse for Bronze.

The earthquake that destroyed Silverbirch's Fortress killed Trail, along with all of the other animals inside.
