Poppy
Poppy is a teenage mouse who lives with her family in Dimwood Forest which is ruled by an owl known as Ocax. Ocax presents himself as a benevolent ruler but Poppy discovers the truth when she sees him kill and eat her fiance. To further complicate matters, Ocax will not allow Poppy and her family to move out of the forest. Poppy sets out on a dangerous mission to free Dimwood Forest of Ocax forever.
