Willy Withit is a trendy, fast-talking Wemmick who rolls into Wemmicksville to introduce pointless but popular trends. He represents peer pressure and the desire to blindly follow the crowd.

A little, spoiled Wemmick who wants her own way all the time.
She acts as a close friend to the main character, Punchinello. She plays a key part in the story's lesson on peer pressure and self-acceptance by casually suggesting to Punchinello that he would look "cute" with a green nose.

Bess Stovall comes to choose the best to be members of the Wonderful Wemmicks Club. She enters town with great pomp and circumstance and carefully investigates each citizen. This one is too short and this one has a nose that's too large. When she sees Lucia, she's immediately excited. They're both made of maple and even come from the same forest. That means they must be from "the same ances-tree!"
