Spartina is one of Darkhaven's warrior does.

However, while she was there, Silverweed managed to see through her guise with his powers and she confessed everything to Hazel and the others, due to her developing feelings for Bigwig.
She returned to Darkhaven, in order to save Blackberry from being killed by Granite, who was instructed by her to kill Blackberry under the next full moon, since she was under Woundwort's orders. However, she is soon held prisoner along with Blackberry. Later Spartina managed to escape along with Campion and Blackberry, and aided the Watership Down rabbits in their fight against Woundwort. It is assumed that she settles down with Bigwig at Watership Down after the final battle.
