* This memory is a little blurry but in ''Pearls of Lutra'', there was a more anti-hero/noble demon vermin serving Ublaz and is clearly tempted to fight the monitor lizards she is forced to work with. The kidnapped Abbot calls her 'his child' much to her annoyance and once the rivalry with the lizards boils over into a mutual kill the abbot tries to comfort her and she smiles. "My child, yes, I think I like that. Thank you, Father."
** Her name was Romsca, and she was the closest Jacques ever came to replicating Blaggut. She had her rough edges and was definitely a proud pirate, but not once in the entire book was she okay with anything Ublaz did, or any of the actions taken toward the Redwallers. It's implied the whole fight began because Lask (the lead lizard) wanted to eat the Abbot.

** A meta one from the end of ''Martin the Warrior''. The last passage reads, "Our Abbey is a place of friendship. Anyone, young or old, who has read or heard of Redwall may come and visit us. If you are honest and of good heart, no matter what the season our door is open to you. Whether for the first time, or for the return of an old companion, you are welcome. Please feel free to visit us anytime you pass by this way." It honestly feels like a personal invitation for the reader to visit.
* In ''The Bellmaker'', Silvamord forces the mute badger, Muta, to dance for her. The baby squirrel doesn't realize that they're trying to humiliate the badger, and merely sees it as a game, so he starts dancing with her. It ends up with the two laughing and having fun and Silvamord sitting embarrassed and furious that her joke backfired.
** Another one from ''The Bellmaker''. There's an otter in the book by the name of Rab Streambattle, who joined Muta in fighting off a horde of Urgan Nagru's grey rats while the queen and Truffen (Southsward's Prince) escaped. After both of them are horribly injured and Rab rendered mute, the final battle kicks in, with the Redwallers being let in by Rab's wife. She manages to spot him in the midst of the fighting and calls his name, prompting him to ''immediately'' start fighting his way to her, shouting "Iris! ''Iris!''"

* From ''Taggerung'', Mhera the toddler ottermaid being comforted after the loss of her father and newborn brother by the spirit of Martin the Warrior.
** Later in that same book, Tagg/[[spoiler:Deyna]] is rushing through the Abbey and accidentally bumps into an otterwife. As he's running to prevent a disaster, he just places her to the side and dashes off, whereas she's left looking like she's just seen a ghost. It turns out he was her long-lost son, and that he looks almost exactly like his father. The subsequent reunion is ''incredibly'' heartwarming.

* In ''Marlfox'', simply the fact that Gawjo is alive and reunited with his long lost family, his son whom he hadn't seen since he was a dibbun, now a fully grown badass warrior. Though somewhat subverted by the fact that Brian didn't show a reunion scene between father and son. The last scene with Gawjo has him heading off to talk to him and the scene just ends there. Though not showing the reunion is kind of poetic in itself, letting the reader decide how it went.

** In a story arc exclusive to the animated series, Cluny kidnaps Cornflower in an attempt to force the Abbeybeasts to come look for her, leaving themselves exposed. Realizing Cluny has Cornflower sends Matthias into a [[HeroicBSOD full-blown freakout]], and he only recovers once he and Foremole come up with a plan to get her back. Later, when confronting the dormouse who kidnapped her (who only did it to save his own wife), Matthias is asked if he would not do the same if their places were switched, to protect the one he loves. Taken off guard, Matthias tells the dormouse [[UnresolvedSexualTension not to talk silly]], but his actions as he frees Cornflower make clear to her (and us) exactly how he feels, with him even admitting that he would have done the same as the dormouse to protect Cornflower. The look on her face as he says this is adorably heartwarming.

** Before Matthias goes to confront Asmodeus and retrieve Martin's sword:
-->'''Cornflower:''' "Remembered your warrior's colors?"
-->''(Matthias proudly holds up the shawl she gave him at the beginning of the series, wrapped around his arm.)''
-->'''Cornflower:''' "I'm very proud of you, Matthias. Worried to the end of my whiskers, but proud."
-->'''Matthias:''' "Are you? ...I'm proud of you, too!"
-->'''Cornflower:''' (smiles, and then holds up a spare habit) "I thought this might be useful for you. It's warm... for night."
-->'''Matthias:''' (putting it into his bag) "Thank you."
-->''(Matthias nuzzles her, before being pulled into a bear hug.)''
**Later, after Basil offers to accompany him to Asmodeus's lair, Matthias tells him that he needs to look after everyone at the abbey while he's gone. He looks at Cornflower as he says this, and Basil clearly gets the message, as he says in an uncharacteristically tender tone that he will do so.
**Basil in the series seems to be a full-on ShipperOnDeck for Matthias and Cornflower, even calling them a "spiffing pair" at one point.
*Matthias's [[OddFriendship friendship]] with Warbeak is also given more development, and her affectionately calling him "crazymouse" is very
heartwarming.

[[AC:The Animated Series]]
* Since the show gives it more screen time and arguably develops it better than the book did, Matthias and Cornflower's [[ToyShip relationship]] becomes wholeheartedly this. Highlights include:
** Cornflower's reactions to Matthias recklessly attempting to climb the abbey walls to get Martin's sword, up to and including trying to climb up after him herself. Basil points out that this was exactly what she was urging Matthias not to do that morning to which she responds:
-->'''Cornflower:''' "That was this morning. A lot has changed since then."
**Once Matthias is safely on solid ground again, Cornflower scolds him for scaring her.
-->'''Matthias:''' "If it helps, it scared me too."
-->''(Cornflower responds by hugging him, after which he turns to Basil as if to say, "You just saw that too, right?")''
** Cornflower, in spite of what the Abbot thinks, always having Matthias's back when he goes off on one of his daring exploits.
** After Cornflower uses a lantern to burn Cluny's siege tower and singlehandedly foil his attack, Matthias sees how shaken she is and immediately goes to comfort her, putting a reassuring paw on her arm.
--> '''Matthias:''' "Well, you were tested. Now you know how it feels to be brave!"
--> '''Cornflower:''' (leans into him, closing her eyes) "It feels ''scary''."
**Matthias's proud smile in this scene just sells it.

* Blaggut. Nothing specifically that he ''did'', just Blaggut's existence is the entire series' CMOH. He starts out as the typical UglyCute PunchClockVillain rat, patiently enduring his boss Slipp's abuse, then starts to get second thoughts when Slipp is contemptuous of his being nice to the lost baby mouse and mole they find. Then he cries his eyes out for hours when Slipp kills the badger mother. Slipp gets angry and starts to beat him up again, and Blaggut gets a {{Crowning Moment Of Awesome}}/{{The Dog Bites Back}} moment by killing him and going back to the Abbey to face the music. And they exonerate him of all blame and he gets to be one of only two vermin in twenty books whose MookFaceTurn actually worked out. ''Awwwwwwwwwwww.''

Though not showing the reunion is poetic in itself, letting the readers decide how it went.

**Her name was Romsca, and she was the closest Jacques ever came to replicating Blaggut. She had her rough edges and was definitely a proud pirate, but not once in the entire book was she okay with anything Ublaz did, or any of the actions taken toward the Redwallers. It's implied the whole fight began because Lask (the lead lizard) wanted to eat the Abbot.

* This memory is a little blurry but in Pearls of Lutra there was a more anti-hero/noble demon vermin serving Ublaz and is clearly tempted to fight the monitor lizards she is forced to work with. The kidnapped Abbot calls her 'his child' much to her annoyance and once the rivalry with the lizards boils over into a mutual kill the abbot tries to comfort her and she smiles. "My child, yes I think I like that. Thank you, my father."

* From ''Taggerung'', Mhera the toddler ottermaid being comforted after the loss of her father and newborn brother by the spirit of Martin the Warrior.
** Later in that same book, Tagg/[[spoiler: Deyna]] is rushing through the Abbey and accidentally bumps into an otterwife. As he's running to prevent a disaster, he just places her to the side and dashes off, whereas she's left looking like she's just seen a ghost. It turns out he was her long-lost son, and that he looks almost exactly like his father. The subsequent reunion is ''incredibly'' heartwarming.
* Shogg's death in ''Triss'' is both this and a {{Tearjerker}}. Having sacrificed himself to save her from a trio of adders, his final request is that she continue on and not cry for him.

* Another one from ''The Bellmaker''. There's an otter in the book by the name of Rab Streambattle, who joined Muta in fighting off a horde of Urgan Nagru's grey rats while the queen and Truffen (Southsward's Prince) escaped. After both of them being horribly injured and Rab rendered mute, the final battle kicks in, with the Redwallers being let in by Rab's wife. She manages to spot him in the midst of the fighting and calls his name, prompting him to ''immediately'' start fighting his way to her, shouting "Iris! ''Iris!''"

Now, we know from the first book that Martin was Matthias. And Matthias and Cornflower got married. Then WordOfGod said that just as Martin = Matthias, Rose = Cornflower.

* In ''The Bellmaker'', Silvamord forces the mute badger, Muta, to dance for her. The baby squirrel doesn't realize that they're trying to humiliate the badger, and merely sees it as a game, so he starts dancing with her. It ends up with the two laughing and having fun and Silvamord sitting embarrassed and furious that her joke backfired.
