| | |
| '''Bow''' is the leader of the [[Boo]]s of [[Boo's Mansion]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. She is aided by her butler, [[Bootler]]. She is very strong-headed and a tad snooty due to her princess-like status in life, but she is also kind-hearted in wanting to aid Mario so he can save Peach and the world's wishes. However, the main reason that she joins him at first is because she needs him to help stop the ghost-eating boss [[Tubba Blubba]], and offers him the [[Star Spirit]] [[Skolar]] that the Boos caught after his escape from [[Tubba Blubba's Castle]] in exchange for his help. Unlike the other party members, after it says Bow joins Mario, the text adds in a comical "like it or not".
| |
| | |
| Bow joins [[Mario]] after he solves the puzzles in Boo Mansion. She can comically slap enemies both with her hand (and her fan when Ultra ranked) and protect Mario from attacks with her [[Outta Sight]] attack. At Super rank she can also try to scare away enemies with a ability called Spook, which automatically ends a battle. By pressing C-Down, she can protect Mario from enemy attacks and not get attacked by an enemy.

| |
| Lady Bow and Bootler make a cameo appearance in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', as they take a vacation at [[Poshley Heights]] after Mario and friends save [[Mushroom World]]. Earlier in Mario's adventure, a young [[Toad (species)|Toad]] from [[Petalburg]] called Bow "the cutest Boo OF ALL TIME!!!"

| |
| [[Image:Bow_francisroom.jpg|thumb|The poster of Bow from ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.]]
| |
| In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Bow appears as a [[Catch Card]] found on the sixtieth floor of the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]]. There is also a poster in Francis's castle depicting her and Bootler. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' she is a [[sticker]] that raises attack power by eight. It can only be used by [[Princess Peach]] and [[Princess Zelda]].
| |
| | |
| == Trivia ==
| |
| *Bow's name is derived from the word "bow", which, depending on pronunciation, may mean "ribbon" (referring to the bows she wears) or can refer to a type of gesture often done in reverence to royalty. It is also likely that her name is some sort of pun on "Boo".
| |
| *Her japanese name is "Resaresa"
| |
| *In ''Super Paper Mario'', Mario has a photo in his house of all his partners from ''Paper Mario'' and ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', including Lady Bow.
| |
| *Lady Bow is the only partner from ''Paper Mario'' (besides [[Parakarry]]) to make a cameo appearance in both of the ''Paper Mario'' sequels.
| |
| *When [[Goombella]] tattles Bow in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', she knows that Mario and Bow went on an adventure together and demands Mario to tell her all about it, because she is jealous.
| |
| *Bow and [[Parakarry]] are the only partners that had appeard in all 3 Paper Mario´s games.
