Goodwife Stickle, more commonly known as Goody, was the hedgehog wife of Ben Stickle, and the mother of Ferdy, Coggs, Spike, and Posy. Goody and her husband adopted and raised Gonff the Mousethief when he was a young orphan; Gonff's parents were said to have died during the rebellion against Verdauga Greeneyes. Although a peaceful and loving hedgehog, Goody could be very fierce and protective when her children were threatened.
