Steward
"Ah, greetings, Master Mario...How very impressive that you were able to brave the cold all the way here. I am the steward of this estate."

- Steward

The Steward is a Toad who makes his appearance in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. He resides at The Enigmansion, formerly as its owner and currently as a servant to its present owner, the Forebear. According to the steward, he became the owner of the mansion once its previous steward passed away. As both a steward and servant, he demonstrates great hospitality toward Mario and the forebear.

During the events of the game, the steward's mansion becomes haunted as a result of numerous Boos being released from the Book of Sealing, and he gives Mario the task of finding them all and sealing them back into the book. After this is accomplished, the steward will give him the Forebear's Portrait as thanks, allowing Mario to access the ski lift at Whiteout Valley.

If Mario decides to return to the Enigmansion after riding the ski lift, it is discovered that the forebear has returned to the mansion and regained ownership, making the former steward his servant.

History
The steward is first seen at the beginning of W 4-3, The Enigmansion, where he is sitting outside on the porch in the middle of a snowstorm. Once Mario approaches him, he introduces himself as the steward of the mansion. He offers Mario full enjoyment of his mansion, but states that it is impossible at the time, as a book containing terrifying creatures has been opened, releasing the creatures within, causing him to flee the mansion. As proof, he gives Mario the Book of Sealing, the very book which once contained the ghosts. He then gives Mario the task of capturing the ghosts back into the Book of Sealing and returning it to its rightful place, which will return the mansion to its former state, allowing him to resume his duties and treat Mario with the finest hospitality.

Two of the Boos which Mario must capture involve the steward. If Mario exits the mansion, he will find the steward by a bonfire, struggling to get warmth. The source of his chills turns out to be a Boo hiding behind him, which is revealed when Mario hammers out the flames. After the Boo is defeated and sealed into the book, the steward claims that his chills have gone away as though they were never there in the first place. Another Boo requires Mario to remove a portrait of the steward blocking off the second floor and replace it with the Mansion Door, then move the portrait to a bedroom on the second floor, so that the Boo becomes visible and can be battled and captured.

After capturing all the Boos and defeating the Big Boo in the basement, Mario places the Book of Sealing back on its pedestal, reverting the mansion to its proper state. The steward appears and informs Mario that the paranormal activity in the manor has disappeared completely. He then invites him to a room connected to the lobby, where he insists they sit down and chat. Upon Mario inspecting a picture on the wall, the steward explains that it was painted by the previous proprietor of the mansion, who has passed away. As a token of thanks, he gives Mario the Forebear's Portrait, claiming that he feels better without it and that he may put up a picture of himself in its place. Mario can now activate the ski lift at Whiteout Valley, where he will meet the forebear himself.

If Mario decides to revisit the manor, he will discover that the forebear has returned and reclaimed his position as the owner of the mansion. He calls in the steward, who is now his servant. As further thanks, he gives Mario an HP-Up Heart.

The steward is later seen near the end of the game alongside the forebear at the revival of the Sticker Fest, among other Toads. Additionally, both the steward and forebear appear together in the end parade, where they can be seen inside the mansion on the World 4 float, having tea while Big Boo pops out from behind and a group of Boos circle them.

Story
The story begins with a Toad entering the attic of Peach's Castle, looking for the source of a draught. Luigi appears and agrees to help him. They find a mysterious hole in the wall, which the Toad suspects to contain the draught. Luigi begins to investigate but is startled by a Scaredy Rat, which causes him to fall off the bookshelf. Luigi then sneezes and slams backward into the bookshelf, causing a book to fall off its shelf and open. Suddenly, all the Paper characters within are released and spread them throughout the Mushroom Kingdom. Paper Toads are seen landing near Toad Villages, while Bowser's minions begin to encounter their paper counterparts.

Paper Peach, however, remains at the castle and is taken to Princess Peach. As the princesses, Luigi, Mario, and Starlow begin to figure out what happened, a Toad rushes in, announcing the unexpected arrival of the Paper characters. Mario and Luigi help find Paper Toads, which are hiding in the lobby. After being rescued, they reveal that all the other Paper Toads they were with were captured by Bowser's minions, but they were able to escape. Paper Peach then realizes that the Bowser from her world might now in their world, along with all of his minions; however, this means that the Mario from her world might have also been transported to their world. Mario, Luigi, and Starlow then set off on yet another adventure.

Before leaving the castle, they have a run-in with Nabbit, who has stolen several Bros. Attacks from a group of Toads, leaving Mario and Luigi with only two to use during battle. They also run into Toadette, who mentions her plans to build a life-size Papercraft for the bros. and wishes them good luck. They are also given a Copy Block by some Paper Toads, who team up with Toadette for their next project. They finally begin to explore Sunbeam Plains, where they are immediately confronted by two Paper Goombas. After they are defeated, they run away, vowing to return.

Meanwhile, in Bowser's Castle, Kamek is giving an unsatisfactory status report to Bowser. Just then, Paper Bowser appears, confused about where he is. He and Bowser quickly get into a feud, each arguing that they are the true Bowser. Bowser Jr. and Paper Bowser Jr. are also introduced to each other, and after some bickering, they quickly form a connection.

Shortly after, Mario and Luigi are cornered by a large group of Paper Goombas. They turn into a wheel which quickly defeats Mario and Luigi. They prepare to leave to tell Bowser the good news, but are stopped by Paper Mario, who flutters down from the sky. They attempt to defeat him but are defeated themselves, and the Crinkle Goomba runs away, promising to return once again. Paper Mario officially joins them on their quest for the rest of the game.

After venturing further into the plains, they receive a delivery from a Paper Toad that had been rescued at Peach's Castle, which contains their first Trio Attack. Later after that, another Toad arrives to inform them that the castle had been invaded by both Bowsers, and that the princesses had been kidnapped again. At that moment, Bowser and Paper Bowser arrive in their Koopa Clown Cars with the princesses. They inform the trio that they have decided to set aside their differences to work together in order to achieve their shared goal of kidnapping the princess. Bowser attempts to further slow them down by summoning Petey Piranha out of the ground. After he is defeated, the trio is able to continue onward.

Just as the three brothers are about to leave Sunbeam Plains, they are hindered by Paper Kamek and a group of Goombas, who block the exit with a large Papercraft Goomba. Toadette appears and is inspired to make a bigger, better papercraft, requesting a number of Paper Toads to do the job. The trio is able to find them at a nearby Toad Village, and transport them to the castle with the help of Lakitu. They head back to the papercraft just as when the Goombas return, attempting to squish them. Fortunately, Toadette shows up with her first papercraft, which they use to defeat the papercrafts.

After entering Doop Doop Dunes, they spot Bowser's Castle in the distance, where several minions and paper minions are seen rallying. Meanwhile, Bowser Jr. and his paper counterpart complain about being bored, and plan to find and destory the book so that they will not have to be separated. While they are distracted, Peach and Paper Peach plan their way out. Paper Peach discovers she is able to slip through the bars of the cage, which gives them an idea.

Meanwhile, Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario spot Nabbit nearby and chase after him in an effort to recover Bros. Attacks as well as their hammers, which he had stolen. They manage to recover one Bros. Attack, Rocket Blast, and attempt to recover more, but are stopped by two Pokeys. After learning a new Trio Move, Trio Hammer, they attempt to cross a bridge, but are prevented from doing so by the Tower Power Pokeys, who cause them to fall off and land in the Doop Doop Dunes Grotto. They escape to another Toad Village, where they locate more Paper Toads for their next project. The Toads give them a paper trampoline, which they use to reach a higher ledge, where they are able to battle and defeat the Pokey duo.
