Willma is the chief ofRumbla Island and mother ofMaykit andBilldit inMario & Luigi: Brothership. She also raisedGorumbla, who calls her "Auntie", and has ahusband who is never seen in-game. Like her children, Willma has light green skin and wears an apron with aHammer design on it. She also has a dark green ponytail. Willma's name possibly comes from the phrase "will ya" and "Ma".
Willma is first encountered duringMario andLuigi's first visit to Rumbla Island. She tries to stand up toGuardarms destroying the town's art, but she is incapacitated by back pain. After Mario and Luigi defeat them, she unlocks the gate needed to access the island's lighthouse, as well as gifting them accessories made by Billdit and Maykit. After linking Rumbla, Willma visitsShipshape Island, informing the crew about her missing children. Once both Billdit and Maykit are found, and with them,Raynforst Island andTwistee Island are linked, Gorumbla goes on a rampage on Rumbla. Mario and Luigi defeat him, allowing Willma to "scold" him by punching him far up into the sky. Shortly after, she gives the brothers theReturn Pipe she created. Willma later attendsBurnadette andChilliam's wedding, and recounts her own wedding if spoken to.
One of the Bonds needed to break theSoli-Tree's barrier to defeatReclusa is that of Willma and her family. Gorumbla, now corrupted byGlohm, claims that no one raised him, breaking Willma's heart. AfterGlohm Gorumbla's defeat, Gorumbla tries apologizing to Willma, but she refuses to accept it. Willma ignores the Mario Bros. and Snoutlet when they tell her Gorumbla was infected by Glohm, and she tells Gorumbla to leave the island. Once Billdit and Maykit remind Willma that Gorumbla is a part of the family, too, the four are able to fill a portion of theBonding Can.
At the end of the side quest "The Courier", it is revealed that the package Mario and Luigi delivered contained a sculpture of Willma.
