Rinafera Woxwitty III and Daisyblade were married at the Fort of the Guardians of Mossflower in the Fall of the Last Dance. Around ten months later, Daisyblade gave birth to a son. By tradition, the baby was given the name Rinafera Woxwitty IV. To avoid confusion, they gave him the nickname “Fourth.” His infancy was spent a little different than most dibbuns; he lived in a war fort. Unfortunately, when he was nought but eight seasons, a vermin horde attacked the Fort at Guardians of Mossflower. And, with all of the changes that had been occuring, such as War Commander Darter, Commanders Laylark and Marie, and Lieutenants Tritan and Sandegar leaving, Finnerator -- the new War Commander -- had no choice but to have the Fort evacuated.

While others traveled to tournaments or such places, Rinafera III had his family move back too his teenage home, Redwall Abbey. Fourth, as he was popularly known, was now too old to be considered a dibbun, but too young to fight. Thus, his father taught him literacy. He learned to read, write, map, and more until he was eleven, when his true training began. The young hare wanted to learn how to fight with the saber -- like his father -- so Rinafera III taught him. After three seasons of that, he also learned how to use a sling. Finally, when he was sixteen seasons, they all moved back to the Fort. Immediately, Fourth enjoyed it once again. He met Crystal Rosepaw, Alex (a fellow hare), and War Commander Finnerator.

However, when pigs invdaded, his father thew himself into the thick of the fighting. Fourth, determined to prove that he was no longer a child, attacked a pig. Even with his strenuos training, the pig easily got the best of him, and then turned to almost sever Rinafera's arm, killing him. The young hare was devestated, but luckily the pig that killed his father was slain before he did anything drastic. Fourth -- or now, Rinafera IV -- begged for a medic, but none came. His father died on the battlefield, fighting with the Guardians of Mossflower one last time. Fourth lived with the Guardians until he was twenty-seven seasons, when he moved off to live in Salamandastron with the perilous Salamandastron hares.
