Sybil Ramkin is Samuel Vimes' wife in Terry Pratchett's City Watch books in the Discworld series. She first appears in Guards!Guards! and has appeared in every City Watch book since. Vimes, Sir Samuel, His Grace the Duke of Ankh, Commander of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch. ... Terence David John Pratchett OBE (known to some fans as Pterry) is an English fantasy author (born April 28, 1948, in Beaconsfield, Bucks), best known for his Discworld series. ...
She is a large, kind-hearted person who tries to show compassion for others.
She was born into the wealthiest family in Ankh-Morpork and resides in the most select part of Ankh, Scoone Avenue. She has a dragon pen outside her house where she breeds and cares for swamp dragons. Coat of arms: A shield, quartered by a river (the Ankh) and tower (the Tower of Art). ...
She enjoys breeding the swamp dragons and spending time with Vimes when he is not on the job (which is very rare because there is always crime in Ankh-Morpork and crime does not take a rest whenever Vimes does).
A few of her things on the dressing-table had made way for his razor and half a packet of cigars; both pillows had head-shaped indentations in them; and there was a slight singed smell to the air, with a small hole in one of the closed curtains indicating its origin (accidental, of course).
Sybil woke to the bright light of dawn trickling through the window, in the way light on the Disc invariably moved: sluggish, as if it were just as much of a trial for the light to be up as for people to get out of bed.
Sybil unthinkingly moved to kiss him goodbye, the way she did Sam every time he went somewhere, but Carrot stopped her, one hand on her shoulder.
Lady Sybil Deidre Olgivanna Vimes (née Ramkin), Duchess of Ankh, is a character in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels.
Sybil also darns her husband's socks, even though she is rich enough to ensure he never need wear the same pair twice in his life, and as a result they no longer fit his feet properly, though he doesn't have the heart to tell her.
Sybil maintains a number of close (female) social contacts from her schooldays, which, thanks to the kind of school she went to (The Quirm College for Young Ladies), are now strategically placed in the highest levels of power across the Sto Plains and often more powerful than Ankh-Morpork Guild leaders.
