Hypericum Hadduck Hare was the leader of the Traveling Thistledown Troupe, a group of traveling performers who entertained the residents of Redwall Abbey in celebration of the last day of Autumn. Hypericum was a fun and colorfully dressed hare and used a big seashell to shout into and announce each of the other performers. After the Snow Badger covered the Abbey area with snow, Hypericum joined the Dibbuns in their games.
