King Olly

King Olly, also known by his title Origami King or simply Olly, is the ruler of the Origami Kingdom, the leader of the Folded Soldiers, and the titular main antagonist of Paper Mario: The Origami King. He is the elder brother of Olivia, and he turned many paper characters including Princess Peach into origami figures and made them fall under his control. His traits include his folded crown and hair, his purple robe, and his spiky limbs. He is sometimes seen with a dark tan, striped patch of hair, purple skin, and glowing purple eyes. He can also fold himself into a yellow Shy Guy, which he uses as a disguise.

History
King Olly was created by the green Toad Origami Craftsmen, to fit in an origami castle created for the Toads' origami festival. The Origami Craftsmen wrote a message on King Olly wishing he would grow into a great king, but Olly misinterpreted it as a "careless scrawl" and became embittered. King Olly then folded Olivia, and began to view all Toads with contempt. This became the basis for his grudge against entities made of flat paper instead of origami.

King Olly then created the Folded Soldiers out of flat paper and stole Princess Peach's castle using six paper streamers; planning to turn it into a replica of the castle made for the origami festival. He also got in Mario's way on his journey by crushing Olivia beneath a boulder and blocking the entrance to a cave needed to get to the yellow streamer.

When confronted in Peach's Castle, he transforms the castle and sticks Princess Peach on the wall in his throne room. After his battle with Mario, King Olly shows remorse and decides to grant them a wish using the Thousands Cranes technique - folding 1,000 paper cranes to get a wish - to compensate for his deeds. As 999 cranes were folded by Olly himself, the Origami Craftsmen and Olivia fold Olly and complete the wish - to undo all of King Olly's origami folding.
