Description
A character reference for my ferret character, Frederick James Wilkinson.Frederick is from North Yolkshire (anthro parallel of Yorkshire), inspired somewhat by the British sit-com Last of the Summer Wine. He is pretty much a mixture of Compo's pet ferrets and Clegg, with a bit of Redwall otter thrown in.
Orphaned at birth, he was adopted by the Wilkinsons, a river-dwelling family of otters, and raised inclusively as part of their family.
He is Danbuster's long-suffering best friend - the one who always manages to stay calm in a crisis. Half the time, Danbuster is the crisis, but still the ferret sticks by him, acting as a voice of reason and common sense. In the Dan Clan, he also applies the muscle, having grown up physically strong from living the early life of an otter.
He's also a strongly moral character who believes in respecting the ladies (especially his girlfriend Felicity) and saving the hanky-panky till after marriage.

Wouldn't mind one myself, but then there's problems... caring for it; my parents won't let me have one; our cats and dogs may not get along with it...

I've never seen a character inspired by Last of the Summer Wine before, the style seems to really suit him though

The Yorkshire influence. I felt it suited ferrets myself. Thanks!
What little screentime they had, I always thought Compo's ferrets were cute.
It seems such a shame that they're always bad guys in the Redwall stories. I wanted a break from that convention!

Thanks!
The shirt is actually made of canvas -- the sort of cloth used by otters. It doesn't shrink in water. (Being an orphan, he was raised by them)

Thanks!
I like to try and pick colours that suit my characters. Green and sable brown, for instance.
There'll be more coming soon...
