Noreen hails from Elmoss. Happy childhood memories consist of bringing in harvests with her family. She has learned the skill of<strong>harvesting </strong>from them. Even when she was just a little mouse she went with them and stood watch while her family harvested. She has the<strong>alert </strong>trait. They taught her to run and hide, and raise the alarm if trouble was on its way.<br/><br/>While she really doesn't like denying herself anything, she has heard stories from her parents about floods and storms and the hunger that comes after a failed harvest to not save for dire times. So she stacks away reserves when she comfortably can, but is often tempted to nibble away just a little from her reserves for celebrations or helping other mice.<br/><br/>When alone, Noreen's first impulse is to run and hide. She may not run far and spy on the threat from her hidey hole to decide if she has to lay an ambush, get help or simply flee. When she is with a patrol she will stand her ground with them. She won't abandon her fellow guards and she knows how important the mouse guard is for the safety of the mice at home.<br/><br/>She is afraid of owls en weasels, and has heard of more than one disappeared mouse after these creatures had been sighted. While wolves are rumored to be big and nasty Noreen is less afraid of them than of weasels and owls. Owls, especially, seem to be deadly as they ghost through the forest on silent wings.<br/>
