Dormouse

Dormouse is Will's pet dormouse.

She adopts him shortly after moving to Heatherfield and he remains her naughty but faithful companion until his accidental death early in the 3rd saga.

Adoption
In issue 2, The Twelve Portals, Will recues the dormouse from Uriah and his gang, who are bullying it.

She meets Matt, who gives her some advice on how to care for him and reassures her that they are "made for one another" even though Will is worried she won't know how to look after him properly.

Will doesn't name the dormouse, simply referring to him as "Dormouse".

Role
Dormouse remains a faithful pet to Will, often consoling her in times of crisis and sadness.

Even though he is naughty, eating papers and an entire jar of cookies, he is a loyal companion.

He is often startled and confused by magical events that occur around Will, such as her transforming into a Guardian and seeing her and her astral drop in the same room together.

In issue 8, The Black Roses of Meridian, Dormouse accompanies Will on her adventure to Meridian. She aids her in a battle against Cedric by biting his tail.

Death
Sadly, in issue 26, Blackmail, Dormouse is accidentally hit by a car. Will rushes him to Mr Olsen, Matt's grandfather, but he is put to sleep. Matt consoles her for her loss afterwards.
