Goody

Goody Tiptoes is a worried wife in a community of squirrels where husbands are prone to disappearing into hollow trees with their stores of nuts. Her concern for Timmy's safety and her suspicion of his evasions give the tale its domestic tension, grounding the woodland politics in a recognizable marriage of small worries and unspoken fears. She matters because her anxiety proves justified, and her presence makes Timmy's eventual return matter more than any mere cache of nuts.
