Minh T.

"I can imagine all those flowers! So colorful and happy, turning their faces to the Sun. Mario, you saved them! Flower Power! You're a true hero! ♡"

- Minh T.

Minh T. is a cheery, flower-loving Toad who gardens by the post office in Toad Town in Paper Mario. Her name is a pun on the word "minty." It is said she has a green thumb. Her garden has an archway in the middle that acts as the door to Flower Fields. She'll relay information about the four Magical Seeds needed to activate the doorway, which Mario must gather from the Bub-ulbs. Mario must engage in conversation with her at least twice in the game.

Goombario's Tattle

 * "She takes care of flowers. Her name is Minh T. Nobody can match her skill at growing flowers. She must have a green thumb. Flowers feel Minh T.'s love and show it in their blooms."

Trivia

 * Her Japanese name, rippu is likely a reference to Lip from Panel de Pon, as both are Nintendo characters associated with flowers.
 * "Rippu" is also the name of a Bub-ulb in volume 26 of Super Mario Kun.
