“Looks like I gotta knock some sense into you! Tough love attaaack!”

—Willma, Mario & Luigi: Brothership

Willma is the chief of Rumbla Island and mother of Maykit and Billdit in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. She also raised Gorumbla, who calls her "Auntie", and has a husband who is never seen in-game. Like her children, Willma has light green skin and wears an apron with a Hammer 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 during Mario and Luigi's first visit to Rumbla Island. She tries to stand up to Guardarms 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 visits Shipshape Island, informing the crew about her missing children. Once both Billdit and Maykit are found, and with them, Raynforst Island and Twistee 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 the Return Pipe she created.

One of the Bonds needed to break the Soli-Tree's barrier to defeat Reclusa is that of Willma and her family. Gorumbla, now corrupted by Glohm, claims that no one raised him, breaking Willma's heart. After Glohm Gorumbla's defeat, Gorumbla tries apologizing to Willma, but she refuses to accept it, ordering 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 the Bonding 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.
