Pauline (formerly known as Lady or the lady and the Beautiful Girl) is a character introduced as the damsel-in-distress in the arcade game Donkey Kong, marking her debut in both the Donkey Kong and Super Mario franchises, along with Mario and her titular kidnapper (confirmed in later games to be a younger Cranky Kong). She was Mario's first love interest. After a long absence, Pauline reprises her damsel-in-distress role in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series. In Super Mario Odyssey and Donkey Kong Bananza, she is closely tied with New Donk City, being the mayor of the city in the former and claiming to be raised there in the latter. Since her appearance in Super Mario Odyssey, she has appeared as a playable character in various spin-off games, starting with Mario Tennis Aces.
