- —Flurrie, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Flurrie (also known as Madame Flurrie) is Mario's third party member in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. She is a Wind or Cloud Spirit, and a slightly pompous actress (she resumes her career at the end of the game). Her ability is to blow out large amounts of wind, which can (in the overworld) make incoming enemies dizzy or blow away flaps.
History
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
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 a an "invisible thing", and he doesn't 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 can't be seen without her necklace and asks Mario to get it back for her. They return to the first area and find the Shadow Sirens 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 possibly some others), and the rest of the cast are themselves.
It isn't known how Doopliss was convinced to become Flurrie's assistant. It could be that Flurrie hired him, or Doopliss simply wanted to play Mario for his own enjoyment.
Strategy-wise, Flurrie is considered to be the best tank. She has very high HP, can recover HP each turn (though only hers) with Lip Lock and has an attack that pierces defense, which makes her an excellent option for being put in front of Mario.
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. Flurrie could 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.

Trivia
- Flurrie's name is a corruption of the word "flurry," which can refer to a small burst of wind.
- Flurrie's hair style strongly resembles the one that Ludwig von Koopa has, and her head and facial features strongly resemble those of Wendy O. Koopa, as well as wearing a necklace, bracelets, and earrings much like Wendy's.
- Of all the Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door characters that make cameos in Mario's house in the beginning of Super Paper Mario, Flurrie is the most noticeable.
- During battle, Flurrie's attacks are very similar to Lakilester's attacks in the original Paper Mario (Gale Force to Hurricane and Dodgy Fog to Cloud Nine). She also shares Bombette's Body Slam ability.
- Flurrie's field move is similar to that of Fleep and Watt from the other two Paper Mario games.
- The plot concept of retrieving Flurrie's necklace from an enemy and returning it to her before she joins his party is very similar to how he retrieved Kooper's shell in the first Paper Mario game.
