== Biography ==
===Frozen Terror===
She was first seen watching Vaniel Wildlough practice under Nowl Redkite's gaze. A few days later, Nihilus the Fiend struck and took over Riftgard. Wibble, along with the prince and Dile, had been awakened by Luke the warrior, and as a result, were confronted by Mustela Sixclaw. All three escape, but Riftgard was virtually taken over, and they were cornered by Talpa holding Korlac Wildlough hostage (Wibble was particularly stunned to see an evil mole). Though trapped, Vaniel decided to jump off the wall and took Wibble and Dile with him. All three survive, though Wibble was a little peeved at the gamble. They then fled up the mountain and come across a cave, though Wibble decides to lay fake tracks to two trees to fool their pursuers as extra precaution, then they escape into the cave, making it to an exit at the beach before succumbing to sleep. By dawn, they continue to the pier and together take a boat with the intention of sailing to the mainland.
During the voyage, she acted as the captain of the ship, but they were soon attacked by an ichthyosaur, who damages the ship beyond hope of repair. When the ichthyosaur tries to climb onto the ship, she shoots an arrow at it, wounding it but not dissuading it. Fortunately they make it to the shore with their lives.
A night and a half later, they set off to Salamandastron, crossing through an abandoned holt, but were stopped by Vezok the wildcat, who was set on capturing or killing the prince along with Tritannus. After Dile was snared in a bolas by the skua, Wibble and Vaniel were forced to act. Luckily they were assisted by the dormice Zimber and his son Pryce, Saffo the female otter and Myodes Lightpaw the vole, eventually driving off both vermin when the Long Patrol (lead by Lotte Spikethumb Thropple) arrived. They then did introductions and made for Salamandastron, where they inform the hares and badger lord Adelmo Bowstripe about what happened at Riftgard. Both the badger and hares agree to help, riding pterosaurs back to Riftgard.
Upon reaching the fjord, Wibble warns the rescue-party about Talpa, then later Saffo disguises herself as Vaniel to lure some vermin into a trap. The plan amazingly works, and one of their prisoners was none other than Mustela (Wibble was the first to notice his sixth finger too). She is horrified to hear that Vaniel's parents had been killed, but saves her grief for later, and agrees in breaking in the same way Nihilus did. They manage to get in without trouble, though she was annoyed at Dile's method of removing a ferret guarding the dungeons, even though it works. After freeing all the prisoners, Wibble joined in the battle that followed: acting as artillery from a wall-walk until a weasel named Blackeye attacks, though luckily, she was saved by Nowl.
Eventually, Riftgard was freed after Pryce killed Nihilus, but Zimber was among the casualties, and he was buried beside Osclor Wildlough. Wibble asks Vaniel and his sister if they were now king and queen, and Vaniel thinks he is. She continued to live in Riftgard since, though one day she went to Redwall to recall good times, and later attended the wedding between Vaniel and Saffo.

At some point, she and Dile replace Nowl as the royal's entourage. She was first seen flying with the royal-otters and Dile on the backs of Ornithocheirus when they find destroyed houses. While the otters head to the abbey, she and Dile were searching for vermin, and eventually find them at Camp Willow. After a while they decide to head to Redwall, but were caught by Quickfeet the polecat and her patrol. Upon reaching their pterosaurs, Wibble managed to get away, but Dile was captured and she reluctantly left him. She arrives just before Vaniel does with the guosim.
At night, she plans with Skipper Depa, Lentorb and Myodes when another hedgehog informs them the vermin-leader Pica Eipgam threatened to kill her family unless she helped the magpie. Then all four and others sneak into the camp and save the family, along with several other prisoners, but at the cost of leaving Dile and losing Lentorb. On the bright-side, she reunites the hedgehog-family with the mother, and develops feelings with the oldest child Pietro Stump. The next day she was showing off her archery to her new boyfriend.
At sunset, the vermin attack. Wibble was reluctant to allow Pietro to join in the defense, but relented after Pietro claimed to know how to wield a pike. After the skirmish, she chastises Vaniel for tackling the wearet Acheron, though she also witnessed Noptar die and with Pietro left the infirmary. The two sat in silence until Pietro reveals to be a musician, and Wibble brings him to Amaryl so he can barrow her lute. Pietro turned out to be quite the guitarist and unwittingly gained an audience as a result. Not long after, Pica strikes again by luring a Baryonyx into attacking the abbey, and Wibble was among those who repelled the dinosaur. The next day, she joins in a training-course, and later the ultimate battle.
Upon arriving at Camp Willow, she along with Pietro, Macko, Jsky, Myodes, Onewa Lightpaw and Corwin Quincewold free the remaining prisoners, but Onewa gets killed by Driptooth, though she promptly kills him, then helps get Onewa away from the fighting. Despite her efforts Onewa ultimately died at the scene, but luckily, Pica was killed by Pryce. She happily returns to Redwall where she gets hugged by Vaniel and Saffo. Later she and her friends were packing up to return to Riftgard, though happily for her, Pietro and his family decide to live at Riftgard as well, so she and Pietro could remain together. Upon introducing her boyfriend to Riftgard, her mom Rhonwen Pintips embarrasses her by hugging Pietro.
