'Oswald
should have run but his legs wouldn't respond. He
stayed there and whimpered, stricken and frozen. Through
a rent in the cloth he saw Piccadilly's urgent face
calling him, but it was no use. He was rooted to the
spot.'
From
The Dark Portal

A year
after his friends Arthur and Audrey, Oswald Chitter
was born on the 11th of June to Arabel and Jacob.
Although no one pays any attention to the ridiculous
claims of the Rat Zodiac,
Master Oswald was a very frail and sickly albino runt.

Always
a sensitive youngster, he was prone to illness and fussed
over by his mother a great deal. She made him wear scarves
and gloves even on warm days, much to his embarassment.
Oswald's great talent was in the art of dowsing. By
using a forked hazel twig, he could find lost objects.
In this way he was able to venture into the dark, dangerous
sewers to recover Audrey's mousebrass. |

During
the terrible year when Jupiter was deposed, the albino
mouse proved his worth many times. He was however
doomed to eternal dark and never came of age.

Oswald
Chitter, hero of that desperate time was posthumously
awarded the mousebrass signifying courage and bravery
by the Green Mouse himself. |
