'''Twink''' is a [[Star Kid]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. He is a star that helps [[Princess Peach]] in her time of need when she gets kidnapped by [[Bowser]]. He frequently gives [[Mario]] and his [[partner]]s information on where the [[Star Spirits]] are being held captive. He was born in [[Starborn Valley]]. He ascended to [[Star Haven]] immediately after Bowser stole the [[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod]]. Some dialogue from the other Star Kids still in Starborn Valley suggests that he had somewhat of a big brother relationship with the others and they looked after him when he still lived there.
