Figgs was a tiny young female otter orphaned by rats under the command of the Foxwolf Urgan Nagru. She was marooned on the Island of the Wrecked Ships with Wincey and Benjy. They lived as an adoptive family in a small tent on the island near the cove of shipwrecks, though the trio originated from Southsward.
Figgs was never told about the death of her caretaker, who died from a head injury days after a mast fell on her. Finnbarr Galedeep, Joseph the Bellmaker, Rufe Brush, Durry Quill, Foremole, and Hon Rosie rescued her, her 'sister', and her 'brother'.
While playing around when Pearl Queen's crew was rationing food, Figgs bit one of Hon Rosie's footpaws, thinking it was food.
Figgs, Benjy, and Wincey were later adopted by Gael Squirrelking and Squirrelqueen Serena after the Battle for Southsward.
