==General information==
===Personality===
Kersti is a friendly and generous sticker, often referring to herself as a delicate and refined lady. She treats stickers with respect and gives Mario an album to put his stickers in. As stated in the prologue and [[Rustle Burrow]], Kersti comes from the Sticker Star, and cannot return unless she finds the Royal Stickers.
 
She is easily angered and tends to make hasty judgments, initially confusing Mario for Bowser and then accusing him of lying.

Kersti is shown to have a severe hatred of Kamek, being annoyed whenever he appears.
 
===Powers and abilities===
Kersti has the ability to "paperize" stickers by pressing {{button|3ds|Y}}, turning the stickers into objects that can be placed into designated locations. She also has the ability to create a tool used during any battle she is present in called the Battle Spinner; this is a slots-type minigame where Mario must match up two or more images in order to use more stickers per turn, and if Mario gets three of the same image, a special effect will occur.
 
Like [[Goombario]], [[Goombella]], and [[Tippi]] before her, she can perform [[tattle]]s (by pressing {{button|3ds|L}}). However, she usually only provides insight on what the player should do next (and sometimes descriptions of places), as she cannot tattle enemies. Due to the nature of the tattle, only one particular one is usually available at any one time during the game, and changes as the player continues through the game. Thus, in [[Rustle Burrow|certain]] [[Rumble Volcano|scenarios]] when Mario is separated from Kersti, he cannot use these abilities. Kersti is able to read and translate Ancient Stickerish texts, as shown in [[the Enigmansion]]. The player also cannot save the game or return to the World Map while separated from Kersti. In the final battle with Bowser, Kersti sticks herself into Mario's album, and when used by Mario, creates a special battle spinner that always wins by landing on her image, restores 20 of his [[Heart Point|HP]] and allows him to use 5 stickers every turn for the rest of the battle. Mario also becomes shiny, allowing him to do normal damage to Bowser despite his [[Royal Sticker]].

History[edit]

Paper Mario series[edit]

Paper Mario: Sticker Star[edit]

It has been requested that this section be rewritten and expanded to include more information. Reason: include more level-specific details

Screenshot of Mario meeting Kersti, from Paper Mario: Sticker Star.
Kersti explaining to Mario that she comes from the faraway Sticker Star.

According to her introduction, Kersti came from the Sticker Star on the night of the Sticker Fest, as part of the process of granting everybody's wishes. Kersti first meets Mario at the site of the Sticker Fest, stuck to a sign after Bowser destroys the Sticker Comet and steals one of the Royal Stickers for himself. After Mario peels her off, Kersti goes off on him, believing that it was Mario who destroyed the Sticker Comet, but after he offers to help search for the Royal Stickers, she forgives him, and they set off to find all six of them.

Kersti becomes separated from Mario twice over the course of their adventure—once in W 3-7, Rustle Burrow, and again in W 5-6, Rumble Volcano. At the end of their adventure, Kersti sacrifices herself in the final battle with Bowser, allowing Mario to use her as a sticker to increase his power and overcome the power granted to Bowser by the last Royal Sticker. However, after the battle, Mario brings Kersti back to life by wishing on the Royal Stickers. Having returned to the site of the rebuilt Sticker Fest, she gets angry at Bowser for trying to steal the Sticker Comet again. She then jokes about changing her career, and Mario, Peach, and Bowser laugh.

Paper Mario: The Origami King[edit]

Although Kersti does not appear in Paper Mario: The Origami King, she is mentioned in one of the easy statements in the Trial of Wisdom: "The name of the origami companion traveling with Mario is Kersti."

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS[edit]

Kersti appears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS as a trophy.

General information[edit]

Personality[edit]

Kersti is a friendly and generous sticker, often referring to herself as a delicate and refined lady. She treats stickers with respect and gives Mario an album to put his stickers in. As stated in the prologue and Rustle Burrow, Kersti comes from the Sticker Star, and cannot return unless she finds the Royal Stickers.

She is easily angered and tends to make hasty judgments, initially confusing Mario for Bowser and then accusing him of lying. In Rustle Burrow, Kersti is stuck in a spider web, shouting for Mario's help. When he rescues her, she yells at him while unaware that Mario had lost his hammer, but quickly apologizes.

Kersti is shown to have a severe hatred of Kamek, being annoyed whenever he appears.

Powers and abilities[edit]

Kersti has the ability to "paperize" stickers by pressing Y Button, turning the stickers into objects that can be placed into designated locations. She also has the ability to create a tool used during any battle she is present in called the Battle Spinner; this is a slots-type minigame where Mario must match up two or more images in order to use more stickers per turn, and if Mario gets three of the same image, a special effect will occur.

Like Goombario, Goombella, and Tippi before her, she can perform tattles (by pressing L Button). However, she usually only provides insight on what the player should do next (and sometimes descriptions of places), as she cannot tattle enemies. Due to the nature of the tattle, only one particular one is usually available at any one time during the game, and changes as the player continues through the game. Thus, in certain scenarios when Mario is separated from Kersti, he cannot use these abilities. Kersti is able to read and translate Ancient Stickerish texts, as shown in the Enigmansion. The player also cannot save the game or return to the World Map while separated from Kersti. In the final battle with Bowser, Kersti sticks herself into Mario's album, and when used by Mario, creates a special battle spinner that always wins by landing on her image, restores 20 of his HP and allows him to use 5 stickers every turn for the rest of the battle. Mario also becomes shiny, allowing him to do normal damage to Bowser despite his Royal Sticker.
