Oaksinger was one of the founding members of Oakshallow and became its de facto leader as more not-cats joined.

After a fight broke out between Sophie and Howl, Oaksinger suggested that they fight to resolve the conflict. Since Sophie won, Howl had to devote more time to working for the betterment of the village. She assumed that their disagreement had been resolved, but to her surprise fewer and fewer not-cats began joining her in Hallowhome. Assuming that Sophie and Howl were still angry at each other, she begged them to come to an agreement, but was surprised to find that they were each upset with her for different reasons. Thankfully, Murmurous and Cirrae suggested an election for a new leader, which Oaksinger enthusiastically supported - she hated politics and had only really become leader in the first place because of seniority. Herea was elected as mayor, and Oaksinger was quickly forgiven by all parties after they learned her side of the story.

On Autumn 11, Year 9, Oaksinger and Aurelia welcomed Violea and Sulia to the world. These were the first beans to be born in Oakshallow!
