Lovely Howz of Badges

The Lovely Howz of Badges is a badge shop found in Rogueport during the events of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. This shop is located in the town's main square, near the inn. The Lovely Howz of Badges was closed during the early part of Mario's adventure, and the plumber could not enter the store. Eventually Mario could enter the shop to buy and sell various badges.

Two shopkeepers work at the Howz of Badges: an unnamed, overly-enthusiastic yellow Squeak thought to be lovely Howz, and Ms. Mowz, the thief that Mario and his allies encounter periodically throughout their adventure. Besides serving as a store clerk, Ms. Mowz's other duty at the store may be to search the world for rare badges to sell later. This explains why she appeared to be looking for a rare badge at Hooktail Castle. If and when Ms. Mowz joins Mario's party, she will leave her position at the shop. If Mario defeats the Shadow Queen with Ms. Mowz in his party, she will return to work at the Lovely Howz of Badges (at least until Mario returns to Rogueport, as she will rejoin him for any further adventures in the region).
