Reepicheep is a talking mouse who’s friends with Trufflehunter, Trumpkin, and Nikabrik. He’s the leader of a band that joins the Old Narnian cause in support of Prince Caspian. Only a foot tall, he often initially escapes the notice of those around him. But what he lacks in size, he makes up for in gallantry and bravery. He has a long, sharp sword and an elegant moustache of whiskers, which he frequently twirls in his fingers when he’s talking. He volunteers for all jobs—the more dangerous, the better, including walking through Aslan’s magical door into an entirely alien world—and frequently plunges into battle with gusto. He’s nearly killed in the final, climactic battle between the two sides, but Lucy revives him with her magic cordial. Aslan implies that Reepicheep may care too much about his honor, but Reepicheep feels that his unerring dignity keeps him from being dismissed by others.
