Lady Sybil Ramkin

Lady Sybil Deidre Olgivanna Vimes (née Ramkin), Duchess of Ankh, is a large, aristocratic lady. Almost as frightening to some as the swamp dragons that she breeds, Lady Sybil is also a kind-hearted person who tries to show compassion for others.

Lady Sybil is married to Sam Vimes of the Ankh Morport City Watch. 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. She also runs a home for sick, abused or abandoned swamp dragons in the city. Her hobby has left her with her natural hair singed off and she wears a wig in nearly all circumstances.

She donated her childhood home, Pseudopolis Yard, to the Watch after their original headquarters was burnt by a dragon (not one of her litte swamp dragons, but a huge monster of a dragon).

She is an amateur soprano, and also enjoys spending time with her husband, Commander Vimes, when he is not on duty.

Sybil maintains a number of close (female) social contacts from her schooldays, which, thanks to the kind of school she went to, are now strategically placed in the highest levels of power across the Sto Plains and often more powerful than Ankh-Morpork Guild leaders.
