Mrs. Wibble

Mrs. Wibble is a 105 year old human female and current District Overseer of New Crunk City District 12, a position she has held for the past 87 years. Her tenure has been marked as the most successful in the history of District 12, and has been celebrated for many decades. Recently, however, her performance and capability of overseeing District 12 has declined with her age, and most have begun calling for a replacement to fill the position of District Overseer.

Mrs. Wibble is widely regarded as one of the best and most popular overseers in New Crunk City’s history. She transformed District 12 from a slum into a livable and proud community, giving its residents dignity and hope. Her advocacy for the marginalized and her infamous speeches earned her the respect and support of the New Crunk City Royal Parliament, something that many districts still struggle to achieve today.

Unfortunately, most of her achievements are now in the past, and nearly all of them have been undone by her inability to adapt to the changing world. No longer is District 12 an up and coming District full of new and modern infrastructure, and in many cases it has reverted to the way it was since before she became overseer.

She currently lives in the District 12 Overseer Chateau, with her two cats: Mr. Limbo and Charlie, often hosting tea parties and making cookies for her grandkids.

## Early Life

Marie Wibble grew up in District 12 back when it was being overseen by Pitor Falmeki. Life in District 12 back then was much more difficult as it is now (if you can believe it). Back in those days District 12 had only just become an official district. Initially, it was simply an unincorporated plot of land that technically fell under the jurisdiction of District 7, but had quickly become a shanty town when a large influx of migrants from across the Crunkiverse far exceeded the housing and housing construction capabilities of New Crunk City.

The district lacked any formal education, social services, or reliable law enforcement. The only thing that kept the district from falling apart was the hard work and resilience of its inhabitants, who built and maintained their makeshift homes with whatever they could find. The Wibble family was one of these families, initially living in a humble shack in the outskirts of the district.

During her youth, she and her family were plagued with poverty (something they left their home planet to escape). They had experienced great hardship and discrimination ever since arriving in New Crunk City, and these experiences shaped Mrs. Wibble's view on life. She didn't want to continue living in poverty, nor did she want anyone else to ever feel the way she felt again, and from a very early age she new deep down that she wanted to dedicate her life to making a change in the world, starting with her new home: District 12

## Vigilantism

When Mrs. Wibble turned 18, she reached a breaking point. The district was torn apart by a violent turf war between two rival gangs, the North and South street syndicates. They wreaked havoc on the district, destroying homes and businesses with no regard for the people who lived there. Mrs. Wibble’s apartment complex was one of their targets, and it was firebombed by the North street syndicate as a way of claiming their territory, unfortunately leading to the demise of her family.

Mrs. Wibble had had enough.

She began plotting and scheming on the best way of ending this damn conflict, and she came to the conclusion that the only way to end a gang war, was to win a gang war. And with that, she began recruiting other residents of District 12 who were fed up with their lot in life, until they eventually assembled an entire fighting force, and went to war with both the gangs. Disavowed by the "official" policing force of District 12, they acted with risk of being punished, but they wanted to see their homes freed from poverty and oppression.

Firstly, she organized small guerilla-like bands of fighters to roam places the North and South Street Syndicate members frequented, then covertly tailed them to find out where their headquarters were. Once they knew, they would send teams to covertly infiltrate the gangs, and from the inside booby trap and set explosives up for when the time was right.

Two weeks later, she managed to corner the North Street Syndicate, and wiped them out completely with a series of explosions, and a week after that the South Street Syndicate soon followed, and with them their secret leader: Overseer Pitor Falmeki.

## Overseer

After exposing Overseer Pitor Falmeki as being in league with the South Street Syndicate, a great case had been made with his removal from his position, and at the request of nearly the entirety of District 12 residents, Mrs. Wibble became appointed as the new Overseer, and she wouldn't waste time either.

One of her first actions as Overseer was to reform the police force. She used her loyal militia and supporters to overthrow and replace the corrupt officers. She appointed her trusted friend Gregory Hutch as the new head of police, and gave him the authority to enforce the law and protect the people.With the new police force, she was able to crack down on all forms of organized crime in the district. She also established a proper government presence throughout the district, legitimizing her authority and gaining the trust and support of the people. She created community committees and task forces to work on various projects and issues.

Among of the first things these task forces did was to clean up the streets from trash, debris, and unexploded munitions. Another thing they did was to implement Mrs. Wibble’s Basic Food Subsistence Act, which ensured that food donations from across the city were distributed fairly and securely to all the residents of District 12 who needed them.

One of her landmark achievements was successfully securing funds from the New Crunk City Royal Parliament to install cheap, efficient, and environmentally friendly low income housing to bring homelessness down to only 10%. Alongside this initiative she was able to use funds left over to update and revamp existing infrastructure across the District to adhere to safe standards and modern building codes, and installed a brand new dedicated water line directly from the rest of the city to ensure not only a source of water for 85% of residents, but also reliable plumbing.

## Stagnation and Decline

Mrs. Wibble has been able to enjoy the spotlight and privilege as being one of the most accomplished overseers in history, something she takes great pride in as she truly loves her home district and all who live within it. Unfortunately, while she had been able to accomplish many great thing throughout her life with her many skills, one of those skills was not adaptability. Pair that with the grass roots heritage of those she gave power to, and things would slowly become worse and worse.

After accomplishing so much and instituting several community reforms, she no longer had to play a direct role in overseeing the district. She could delegate many of those things to those she appointed to do so. Unfortunately, as with the start of her tenure, she only could appoint people based on their dedication to the district and their love of their people, not necessarily on their experience and ability. Slowly, over time (starting around the age of 70), cracks began to develop, as what had started as efficient and effective governing became more and more disorganized and complacent. Those with authority became more and more ineffective, and less and less got accomplished.

Eventually, most of the things that Mrs. Wibble was proud of became tarnished and ruined by corrupt and evil forces. Organized crime returned with a vengeance, and poverty spread like a plague. She lost the support and funding of the Royal Parliament, and with that many of the social welfare programs she had created. Her Basic Food Subsistence program, which was once a lifeline for many people, became a tool for the gangs. They took over the food distribution and used it to extort and recruit people. To get food, one had to either pay exorbitant prices or join the gang activities.

It would all come to a head when Gregory Hutch, close friend and head of the New Crunk City District 12 Police Department was exposed as being involved with drug trafficking, and nothing was done about it. Mrs. Wibble refused to believe her friend could possible be involved in such a thing, and had the entire case against him, the one true attempt at ending a large problem within the District, thrown out.

Mrs. Wibble still holds on to her past achievements, but ever since the Crunch, things have gone downhill. She has lost most of her influence and support in the district, as many of her old allies and admirers have either died of old age or moved away. She refuses to step down from her position and claims that she can still fix the District, but she fails miserably at even the simplest tasks. Crime rates soar every day, but she still relies on her old methods of community action, without a cohesive community to back her up.
