Dwink was a young squirrel of Redwall Abbey, and roughly the same age as Bisky, who was a good friend of his. Later in life, he was the mate of Perrit and the father of Mittee. Initially, he was a bit on the rebellious and mischievous side, and got himself on the Abbot's Report for starting a pillowfight in the dormitories. He and Bisky got in further trouble when they convinced a friend to desert his post as gatekeeper to spend the night with them, and were punished to clean the cellars.
