She was a traitorous healer fox originally hired by Lord Verdauga Greeneyes to heal him of his illness. However, she secretly agreed to poison him on behalf of his daughter, Tsarmina. Once Verdauga was dead and Tsarmina firmly in charge, Fortunata received a high rank in her army. This, however, was exploited by the Corim, the resistance to Tsarmina's tyranny, who sent a fox called Patchcoat to make Fortunata believe that two hedgehogs had escaped from the prison of Kotir, and Fortunata fled. She masqueraded as "Besomtail" during this, but was eventually killed by the Corim.
