'''Lady Bow''' is the leader of the [[Boo]]s of [[Boo's Mansion]] and a party member 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 is also kind-hearted in wanting to aid [[Mario]] so that he can save Peach and the world's wishes. Her 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 a pun on "Boo". | '''Lady Bow''' is the leader of the [[Boo]]s of [[Boo's Mansion]] and a party member in ''[[Paper Mario]]''.

In battle, Bow can slap enemies with both her hand and, when ultra ranked, her fan. She can also protect Mario from attacks with her [[Outta Sight]] attack and, at super rank, can also try to scare away enemies with an ability called [[Spook (move)|Spook]]. If she successfully blocks an attack, she covers her eyes much like other Boos. She is the only partner that is incapable of doing any damage to Bowser in his powered-up form. The same applies to the [[Crystal King]], as well as the sixth battle with [[Jr. Troopa]]. Outside of battle, she can turn Mario invisible, protecting him from enemy attacks and hazardous obstacles. However, Mario cannot move while in this state. This ability must be used to gain access to [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]]. | In battle, Bow can slap enemies with both her hand and, when ultra ranked, her fan.

Her first is at the beginning of the game; she, along with all the other partners from the first ''Paper Mario'' appeared in a photograph at Mario's house. Bow's second cameo was at [[Fort Francis]]. There is a poster of her and Bootler in one of [[Francis]]' secret, password-activated rooms. Lastly, she appears as a [[Catch Card]] in the sixtieth floor of the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]] within a treasure chest. Like all other partners, with the exception of [[Sushie]], she has unused sprite data. | ||
