Mr. and Mrs. Beaver


 * "'I think it's a nice beaver,' said Lucy.
 * —The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, ch. 7: A Day with the Beavers

Mr. and Mrs. Beaver are Talking Beavers from the Chronicles of Narnia book The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. They are devoted to Aslan and become allies of the Pevensies. The Beavers are also known to be friends with Mr. Tumnus.

In Canon
In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Mr. Beaver discovered the four Pevensie children after Mr. Tumnus' arrest. He led them to his dam, where he and his wife sheltered them from the White Witch's spies. The Beavers explained the prophecy of two Sons of Adam and two Daughters of Eve coming to Narnia to defeat the White Witch, but by the end of the tale, Edmund had disappeared. The Beavers admitted that they had felt suspicious about Edmund, as he had the look of someone affected by Jadis. The Beavers brought Peter, Susan and Lucy to meet the Narnian army gathering at the Stone Table. Mr. Beaver later fought in the battle against Jadis' army.

The Beavers' dam on the Great River was the future site of the town of Beaversdam, where some of the kings under the Caspian line ruled. Mr. and Mrs. Beaver were eventually reunited with the Pevensies in Aslan's Country in The Last Battle.

Personality
The Beavers are strong believers in Aslan, knowing with certainty that the Lion would one day return to Narnia and free it from the White Witch. Mr. Beaver in particular is very scornful of Jadis, and her false claim to power. Mrs. Beaver is very cautious, which prevents her from acting quickly in an emergency.

In Badfic
The Beavers follow in Gimli's proud tradition of main characters who are frequently ignored by badficcers. When they appear, they usually repeat their lines from the book or the movies more or less verbatim. Be watchful for Beaver/Tumnus crackfics inspired by the Narnia parody in Epic Movie.
