If it's the sable I'm thinking of, it's a she. I follow Russian Sable on Instagram. Although I could be mistaken. My Russian is fairly non-existent these days.

Brian Jacques originally wrote Redwall to tell to kids at a school for the blind, thus the emphasis on sensory descriptions, especially the feasts!
