Reepicheep

Reepicheep played a major role in the Narnian Revolution, in which he swore his allegiance to Caspian, and fought alongside the Old Narnians in their attempt to take the country back from the Telmarines and the usurper, Miraz.

He was joined by several of his fellow mice, including his second-in-command, Peepiceek, and was an advisor and friend to Prince Caspian, and the Kings and Queens of Old, the Pevensies.

He participated in the Second Battle of Beruna, and suffered near-fatal wounds in the fight.

Queen Lucy healed most of his injuries with her magic cordial, but was not able to restore his severed tail.

Aslan was at first reluctant to restore what Reepicheep considered "the honour and glory of a mouse", for fear it would encourage the mouse's pride.

However, the love between Reepicheep and his followers (evidenced by their willingness to cut off their own tails if Reepicheep had to go without his) eventually convinced the Lion, and the mouse regained his tail.

After he was healed, he was made a knight of the Most Noble Order of the Lion by Caspian, after he himself was knighted by Peter, along with Trufflehunter and Trumpkin.

In the 2008 Prince Caspian (Disney movie), Reepicheep also fought with the Narnians during the Telmarine Castle Night Raid.

When Prince Caspian first joined with the Narnians, Reepicheep and his mice stole various weapons from the Telmarines, leaving behind a taunting message for Miraz and his men apparently from Caspian, saying: -

"You were right to fear the woods. X"

During the night of the raid, they crept into Miraz's Castle, binding and gagging a cat along the way, and lowering the draw-bridge for the Narnian raiders to enter the castle.

Reepicheep sailed with Caspian on the Dawn Treader to the end of the world.

During the voyage, he had some minor scrapes with Eustace Scrubb, who showed the mouse no respect and once swung him around by his tail.

Angered, Reepicheep challenged him to a duel, but he declined on the grounds of being a pacifist.

When he did this, Reepicheep began to whip him with the flat of his blade until he was forced to apologise.

The two were almost complete opposites in character, creating extreme conflicts and dislike between the two.

Reepicheep's problems with Eustace ended on Dragon Island, when Eustace was temporarily turned into a Dragon.

Reepicheep forgave former disagreements, and comforted Eustace by telling him stories at night, when they were the only ones awake.

After this incident taught Eustace humility and kindness, the two of them became good friends.

Reepicheep was the only native Narnian to travel toward the end of the world with Edmund, Lucy and Eustace, after the Silver Sea became too shallow for the Dawn Treader.

After the humans waded toward the island, where they met Aslan, he sailed over the edge of the Narnian world and reached Aslan's Country, fulfilling his life-long wish.

In 2010 film of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Reepicheep was not so easily angered by Eustace's antics as he was in the book.

In fact, he seemed more amused than anything, with the exception of when Eustace tried to steal rations, and then proceeded to grab Reepicheep's tail, but didn't swing him by it.

When he did this, Reepicheep challenged him to a duel, but Eustace actually went ahead with the swordfight, and judging by the way they fought, it appeared as though Reepicheep was trying to teach Eustace fencing more than anything.
