She is a [[badge]] thief that [[Mario]] encounters repeatedly in his quest to find the seven Crystal Stars. Mischievous and sultry, Ms. Mowz constantly flirts with Mario whenever she encounters him, much to the annoyance of [[Flurrie]] and [[Goombella]] (the latter occasionally calls Ms. Mowz a floozy), as well as making [[Koops]] and [[Mini-Yoshi|the Yoshi]] envious on at least one occasion. | ||
She is the first optional party member in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]] | Midway through the game, Mario may recruit her as an ally; she serves as the game's sole optional [[Partner|party member]] and either the sixth or seventh member of the group depending on the player's actions. She is the first optional party member in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]], followed only by the optional [[Pixl]]s of ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'': [[Barry]], [[Dashell]], [[Piccolo]], and [[Tiptron]]. | ||

After completing the game's fourth chapter, an anonymous request is posted to the [[Trouble Center]] in east Rogueport. Should Mario choose to answer this trouble, marked "[[Elusive Badge!]]", he is instructed to meet with the requester a short walk away from the Lovely Howz of Badges, who turns out to be Ms. Mowz. She asks Mario to locate a badge in Hooktail Castle; she knows it is in Hooktail's room, but says she is unsure of its exact hiding spot. She shares her single clue: "Use The Power of the Wind...". Should the player then re-visit Hooktail's room and use Flurrie's ability, a paper flap will blow away, revealing a chest that contains the [[Attack FX B (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Attack FX B]] badge. When Mario returns with the badge to Ms. Mowz, she reveals that the request was a ruse to test Mario's skills, and if he can find a badge she had hidden so well, then she must journey with him to find more, and promptly joins the party. The Lovely Howz of Badges is ran exclusively by Ms. Mowz's assistant from this point onwards. At the very end of the adventure, Ms. Mowz is shown to have returned to running the shop. | After completing the game's fourth chapter, an anonymous request is posted to the [[Trouble Center]] in east Rogueport.
