OK, here goes. (OOC: btw, I'm making most of this up!)
Amber was born in Mossflower woods, to Bracken and Fern Oaken. She was the youngest of three children, and often had to fight to be listened to. She was a fiery young squirrel - energetic, enthusiastic, a little insensitive and very arumentive. Quite the opposite from her two quite siblings, and the rest of her family.
He siblings (Holly and Wicks) never showed much intrest in archery, or any kind of fighting, but these were Amber's pleasures. She would often be seen shooting acorns down with her slingshot, or firing arrows at leaves. She loved everything about the woods.
When she got older, Amber started an archery club, the very beginings of squirrel archers. Soon the young squirrels were scampering around the forest, shooting with blunt arrows. But it was all to become much more serious.
When the vicious wildcats attacked Redwall, Ambers parents were both killed, as was Wicks. Amber isn't sure what happened to Holly, only that she wasn't killed, and probably escaped to another land. The time of Amber and her squirrles had come.
The rest is told in 'Mossflower'. Lady Amber (as she became while leading her squirrel troupes) is now Captain of the Redwall defenders. Though there is little need for this, Amber loves her training. At heart, she's really a fighter!

Right, here's my history.
Jade Hazletree is an orphan. Her parents abandoned her next to the Abbey, and that was where she was raised. She has Jade green eyes, and hazle coloured fur, which was why that is her name! Jade loves reading. She can usually be found in the Abbey reading room, studying the histories of Redwall. Jade has tried fighting, but she's not very good, and doesn't enjoy it much. Last time she came out of a fight with the end of her tail cut off! She thinks of the Abbey as her home, and it always will be. Jade Hazletree, a quiet fieldmouse, and a part of Redwall Abbey.

Lynn (which IS a guy's name) is, on the outside, a very down-to-earth otter. He is open with everyone except girls whom he seems to stumble when around but he rarely starts a conversation. He rarely ever complains and is withdrawn from the outside world. Lynn is, on the inside, is an artistic, imaginative, and inventive otter. He spends plenty of time feeding his creative needs reading, writing with his very sloppy hand-writing, or drawing with bits of camp fire charcoal. Lynn likes to silently watch but speaks up loud and clearly if he has an opinion that he thinks must be shared.
He may be withdrawn but he does not allow anyone to pick on another. When he was young, Lynn was picked on by several of the neighborly creatures. The group leader especially dislike the otter. There never seemed like there was a reason for all of the abuse but it was probably because Lynn was different and much smarter then the other kids. He never spoke up about the taunting and has struggled with the emotional pain ever since.
Lynn is an only child. This otter prefers it that way. He has no responsibilty or atleast none at the time. He's parents lived to a ripe old age before they died. Lynn has been tagging along with any group since then and really does not care about having a permanent family.

Moonwind was born in the the ancestral home of the Eastern Squirrels - the home of the SunOak Tribe -Oakenhill. This place many leagues to the south of Loamhedge, was a pleasant place, it was a place of peace, of friendship, of happiness - very like Redwall Abbey!
Moonwind himself was born of the leaders of this place on a night when a wind shook the trees, in the manner of his people he was taken out onto the balcony from the Eating Chambers to be named. A Sharp wind blew then and swept the babe away, he landed safely at the base of the tree in a shaft of moonlight. His parents named him Moonwind taking this to be an omen of some sort.
His parents were Redsky the Just and Delightin the Fair - all of his family were members of the tribe except for Holly of Mossflower - his maternal grandmother - who as always a mystery. (Mossflower being an place unknown to the tribe)
As heir to the leader of the SunOak Leader - my father - I had to guard the Taildirk - a dirk carried in a sheath attached to my tail.
Seasons passed - but he never talks of this time - but one day when out hunting he returned to find the SunOak tribes homes burnt and his people slautered. He never knew who did this, but he buried his tribe and journeyed north, reaching Redwall after many seasons.
Now Moonwind is staying with his Auntie Amber and is planning to live in Redwall for as long as he is allowed!

Here goes Stealth's sad story:
Stealth was born in Noonvale but her parents soon got bored because they were warriors and wanderers. So they traveled to a new place where they found several creatures.
They soon set up a new colony and became the leaders and protecters of the small colony. Stealth grew up and was but 4 seasons old when some vermin came. Of course they were rats and foxes but truely innocent looking. They were suffering from lack of food so her family took them in.
However halfway through their stay the leader slayed Stealth's mom. This of course made her father jump on the leader, a fox, but you know how one-on-one battles go with vermin...her dad slayed the leader and then all of the other vermin jumped on him and killed him.
However Stealth was watching the whole time. The new leader, also a fox, started burning down her house. After gathering some things she left the small colony and started wandering until she happened upon this abbey.
