'''Peeka''' is [[Lahla]]'s sister who runs the [[Westside Goods]] shop in [[Rogueport]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Peeka acts as a sort of "bouncer" for the [[Pianta syndicate]]. Anyone wishing to see [[Don Pianta]] (and later [[Frankie]]) must buy a [[Dried Mushroom]] then a [[Dizzy Dial]] in that order as a sort of password to gain access to him. Peeka then asks for a password in the form of a question to make sure someone did not just stumble on the order by accident and to further secure the syndicate's main building. The question is "what is your favorite color", and the correct answer is "yellow". Before asking this however, she asks Mario "what color is your mustache?"; no matter what Mario answers, Peeka realizes that was not the right question, and asks the right one. There is a door at the back of the shop Peeka opens if everything is answered correctly. This door leads to the secret back alley that is linked to the only entrance to the main building of the Pianta syndicate. She likes jewelry and bags. Her name is a play on the phrase "peekaboo", as in Peeka "[[Boo]]". | |||

Peeka is Lahla's sister who runs the Westside Goods shop in Rogueport in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Peeka acts as a sort of "bouncer" for the Pianta syndicate. Anyone wishing to see Don Pianta (and later Frankie) must buy a Dried Mushroom then a Dizzy Dial in that order as a sort of password to gain access to him. Peeka then asks for a password in the form of a question to make sure someone did not just stumble on the order by accident and to further secure the syndicate's main building. The question is "what is your favorite color", and the correct answer is "yellow". Before asking this however, she asks Mario "what color is your mustache?"; no matter what Mario answers, Peeka realizes that was not the right question, and asks the right one. There is a door at the back of the shop Peeka opens if everything is answered correctly. This door leads to the secret back alley that is linked to the only entrance to the main building of the Pianta syndicate. She likes jewelry and bags. Her name is a play on the phrase "peekaboo", as in Peeka "Boo".
In the Japanese version of the original, Lahla and Peeka wear bunny ears which, coupled with their cuffs and bow-tie, resembles a bunny suit. In other versions of the original and all versions of the remake, they wear cat ears.
