'''Madame Flurrie''', commonly known as simply '''Flurrie''', is [[Mario]]'s third party member in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. She is described as a cloud spirit or wind spirit,<ref>"''Flurrie is a refined and dignified lady who lives in these woods. [[Puni elder|The elder]] says she's a wind spirit who can wield the powers of the air with ease.''" Punio, ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''.</ref> and is a slightly pompous retired actress who eventually resumes her career at the end of the game. Her face resembles [[Wendy O. Koopa]], while her hair resembles [[Ludwig von Koopa]]'s hair.
Her ability is to blow out large amounts of wind, as hinted at by her name, which comes from "flurry", meaning a small burst of wind. In the overworld, she can blow wind which makes incoming enemies dizzy and blows away flaps in the environment, in order to reveal hidden objects or passageways, similar to [[Watt]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and [[Fleep]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Since she is not on the ground, she is unaffected by quake attacks like the [[Earth Quake]] item.

==History==
===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
Prior to meeting Mario, Flurrie was a famous actress. She was very well-known with fans all over the world, and starred in plays such as ''{{wp|A Midsummer Night's Dream|A Mid-Winter Day's Nap}}''.<ref>{{cite|quote=EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! I can't believe I got to meet you, Madame Flurrie! I loved your performance in a "A Mid-Winter Day's Nap"!<!--SIC--> I've seen it THREE times!|author=[[Toad (species)|Toad]] woman in east [[Rogueport]]|title=''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''}}</ref> Weary of the spotlight, she retired to a house in [[Boggly Woods]], where she became a friend of the local [[Puni]]es.

When Mario, [[Goombella]], [[Koops]], and [[Punio]] go to [[the Great Tree]], they find that the door is locked. Punio recalls a secret entrance somewhere around a low branch of the tree, but it is covered by an "invisible thing", and he does not know how to remove it or even exactly where it is. He suggests that Mario should go to Flurrie's house and ask her to help them find it.

When they go to Flurrie's house, she tells them that she cannot be seen without her [[Necklace (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Necklace]] and asks Mario to get it back for her. They return to the first area of the woods and find the [[Three Shadows]] with the necklace. Mario defeats them and gets the necklace back for Flurrie, who insists she must repay Mario and gives a very large kiss which knocks away his current party member and Punio. She then joins the party.

At the very end of the adventure, Flurrie becomes a top-class actress once more, now alongside [[Doopliss]]. Flurrie creates a play aptly titled "Paper Mario" about the past events in the game. Flurrie plays herself, Doopliss plays Mario, and the rest of the cast are themselves.

====''Super Paper Mario''====
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Flurrie appears as a [[Catch Card]] won by winning the [[Duel of 100]] in the [[Sammer's Kingdom]]. Her Catch Card describes her as the most "Rubenesque" of Mario's companions, referencing the Baroque artist {{wp|Peter Paul Rubens}}, famous for his paintings of large, voluptuous women.

Flurrie can also be seen very briefly at the beginning of the game. During the intro, she, and all the other [[partners]] from the previous ''Paper Mario'' titles can been seen in a photograph.

===''Super Mario-kun''===
{{rewrite-expand|section=yes|Summary of what she does}}
[[File:Flurrie SuperMarioKun.png|thumb|Flurrie in ''Super Mario-kun'']]
Flurrie appears as an ally, albeit not partner, to Mario during the ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door '' arc of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''.

===''Super Mario Run''===
Flurrie had a minor cameo in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' (ver. 3.2.0) on promotional artwork in the game during its celebration of the release of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' ([[Nintendo Switch]]), though her presence on the in-game alert for the event was her only appearance in the game.

==Trivia==
*In the original version of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', there is an area in Petal Meadows where Flurrie’s ability can be used to blow away the bushes. However, doing this results in no reward whatsoever. This interaction is removed in the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]].
