Jess Squirrel

Jess Squirrel

Jess Squirrel is an anthropomorphic squirrel who appears in "Redwall" and "Mattimeo" from the Redwall series by Brian Jacques. She is voiced by Susan Roman in the animated series, by Eithne Brown in the "Redwall" full-cast audiobook, and Sandra Billinge in the "Mattimeo" audiobook.

Jess Squirrel and her family lived in Mossflower when Redwall Abbey came under attack by Cluny the Scourge. Jess and her family came to Redwall after her son led Matthias there, and they decided to remain there while the battle for Redwall waged. Jess, with her reputation as a champion climber, volunteered to scale the Abbey to retrieve the Sword of Martin from the weathervane, although she was attacked by sparrows when she reached and forced to climb back down again. She reported that there were old rusty wires where sword had probably once been, but it was not there.

Shortly afterwards, Jess and Basil Stag Hare concocted a plan to retrieve the stolen tapestry of Martin from Cluny, who was using it as a banner. They travelled to Saint Ninian's, and with distraction, taunts, and a false picture of Martin on a dishcloth they were able to snatch it, passing it to each other like relay runners as they fled. Basil was slightly injured in the escape, so Jess took the false banner and continued to taunt and chase the hordebeasts, taking to the trees. Cluny himself came to try and wheedle her into giving back the banner with a mixture of threats and false promises about the safety of her family. Jess almost fell to his bait, but decided to play it off as though she believed him and gave him the false banner, then laughed when Cluny saw it was fake. She solemnly reported the loss of the dishcloth to Friar Hugo when she and Basil returned to the Abbey.

Later, when her son was kidnapped by Slagar the Cruel, she set out with Matthias and Basil Stag Hare to pursue the fox and fought in the battle in the underground city of Malkariss.
