Perrit was a pretty squirrelmaid who lived in Redwall Abbey during the time of Abbot Glisam, and who later became the mate of Dwink and the mother of Mittee. Later, she also had a granddaughter. Aside from Dwink, she was also good friends with Umfry Spikkle and Bisky. Not much is known of her family and past, as she was introduced simply as one of the kitchen helpers under Friar Skurpul.
