List of The Deptford Mice characters

A list of fictional characters featured in Robin Jarvis's novel series, The Deptford Mice. Also listed are characters appearing in the prequels, The Deptford Histories and The Deptford Mouselets, as well as the sequel The Deptford Mice Almanack.

Audrey Brown (later Audrey Scuttle) is a house mouse, and the main protagonist of the books. She is the daughter of Albert and Gwen Brown, and the sister of Arthur Brown. She was born on 2 January in the empty house in Deptford inhabited by the mice.

Audrey loves dressing in lace and ribbons and especially loves a pair of silver bells which Twit the field mouse had given her. She is very headstrong but also very brave and courageous.

Audrey's story begins when she is given The Anti-Cat Charm by The Green Mouse in The Dark Portal. This leads her into the sewers where she confronts Jupiter at his altar. She throws the mousebrass at the evil cat god and he was sent to his doom.

In The Crystal Prison, she is forced by the Starwife, ruler of the squirrels in Greenwich Park, to accompany the rat Madame Akkikuyu to Fennywolde, a cornfield inhabited by Twit and many other fieldmice. After Hodge, Whortle and Jenkin are mysteriously murdered, the fieldmice begin to think that Audrey had killed them. They become convinced she is a witch and are about to hang her, but Twit invokes the Gallow's Law and marries her in order to save her, which fulfills the bat's prophecy in The Dark Portal about Twit being a "witch husband".

Audrey then returns to the Skirtings, leaving her husband behind. When the Starwife comes to the Skirtings in The Final Reckoning, she chooses Audrey to succeed her. This is a destiny that the mouse struggles against at first, tossing the Silver Acorn pendant down the cellar steps in anger.
