"A weaver who started the tradition of cloaked Guardmice"— The Black Axe, Guide to the Matriarch's Private Chamber
Feruin was a female mouse and a Matriarch of the Mouse Guard.[1] According to mouse folklore, Feruin was the first of the Matriarchs and began the tradition of Guardmice wearing cloaks.
She was married to Faulknir, talented in weaving and was formerly a serf to a falcon. Her wisdom and compassion for Silfano and Sefatus brought the Hawk-mice and Fox-mice together, motivated them to overthrow their masters and form the Mouse Guard faction to protect all of mousekind.
Characteristics and personality[]
Feruin had sepia-coloured fur and wore a red hat, white dress and red shawl. She loved her husband very much, but also felt a connection with other mice, including the Fox-mice that the Hawk-mice had come to rival. Her words of wisdom are apparently effective on any mouse.
