Goodwife Brimm ("Goody") was an old female otter, a friend of Sollertree. Brimm wore a poke bonnet, a puff-sleeved gown and a flowery pinfore with dainty lace edging. She had silver-white fur and a cracked voice.
Brimm lived alone in a house constructed out of baked clay and mud bricks near the river. Although she was old, she maintained good hearing. Songbreeze, Dannflor, Dippler, and Burble stayed in her home for a while before they continued onward.
Later, Brimm visited Redwall Abbey with Sollertree and his daughter Nettlebud.
