The Rabbits and the Hares are at war. Tommy here has been digging up supplies that were left by the army.
He lives with his family in the middle of a war zone. He lost his left eye because a shard of glass got stuck in it while hiding with his siblings during one of the fights.
Two of his older brothers where send out to fight in the war, but Tommy stayed behind with his 6 sisters. The idea is that when you already have two sons in the army, you can let the third one stay at home so when they die in battle you still have a son.
