The banners in Bowser’s throne room still hung in tatters.
Charred ribbons drifted across the black stone floor, reminders of a wedding that had never happened.
He could still hear Princess Peach’s voice.
“You really thought I’d marry a monster like you?”
Then the flames.
The grand cathedral he’d built inside his castle, the flowers his minions had spent weeks arranging, the feast prepared for hundreds of guests—it had all been reduced to ash.
Afterward, Bowser shut the castle gates.
The kidnappings stopped.
The grand invasions stopped.
Even the Koopa Troopas whispered that their king had changed.
News eventually reached the Dark Lands.
Peach had married Mario.

Other rows are compared with this card.
Proud and confident: Bowser has enormous confidence in his own strength. He believes he’s the greatest king alive and rarely doubts himself, even after repeated defeats.
- Hot-tempered: He gets angry quickly, especially when his plans fail or when someone insults him. His frustration often leads to dramatic outbursts.
- Determined: Bowser almost never gives up. Even after losing, he’s always planning his next attempt, showing remarkable persistence.
- Attention-seeking: He enjoys making grand entrances, building elaborate castles, and showing off his power. He wants others to recognize him as the mighty King of the Koopas.
- Protective of his followers: While strict, Bowser generally values the loyalty of his Koopa Troop. Many of his minions genuinely respect him, suggesting he rewards loyalty and looks after his army.
- A caring father: His relationship with Bowser Jr. shows a softer side. He’s protective, encouraging, and clearly loves his son, even if he sometimes involves him in questionable schemes.
- Romantic—but misguided: Bowser often pursues Princess Peach, believing that if she spends enough time with him, she’ll eventually return his feelings. His attempts are usually over-the-top and ignore what Peach actually wants, which is portrayed as part of his villainous behavior.
- Surprisingly humorous: Many games depict him as expressive and comedic. He can be sarcastic, pout when he loses, boast constantly, and react dramatically to embarrassing situations.
- Competitive: Whether in sports, racing, or battles, Bowser loves proving he’s the strongest. Even outside his villain role, he enjoys competing with others.

Afterward, Bowser shut the castle gates.
The kidnappings stopped.

Even the Koopa Troopas whispered that their king had changed.
News eventually reached the Dark Lands.
Peach had married Mario.
Months later, rumors spread that the Mushroom Kingdom’s royal family was expecting a child.
Bowser never spoke about it.
He simply remained inside his fortress, sitting upon his throne in silence while the castle slowly became colder and quieter.
⸻
Far beyond the kingdoms anyone usually visited lay another realm.
A peaceful country surrounded by endless forests and silver mountains.
Its ruler’s daughter—Princess they—was known for having...unusual tastes.
While other princesses adored elegant princes, royal balls, and sparkling castles...
they collected strange things.
Dragon scales.
Ancient monster relics.
Armor from forgotten wars.
She thought giant beasts were fascinating instead of frightening.
Naturally...
Her guards worried.
⸻
One evening, while riding alone through the woods atop her white horse, several Koopa Troopas leapt from the bushes.
“Grab her!”
Before she could protest, ropes wrapped around her wrists.
Her horse galloped away while the troop hurried their captive toward Bowser’s castle.
⸻
The massive throne room doors burst open.
“We caught another princess, Your Majesty!”
Bowser barely looked up.
“I told you idiots...” he growled.
“...I’m done kidnapping princesses.”
The Troopas froze.
“Oh...”
“But...we already brought her.”
Bowser sighed heavily before finally raising his eyes.
Standing before him was a young princess whose hands were tied.
She wasn’t crying.
She wasn’t screaming.
Instead...
She was looking around his castle with obvious curiosity.
“So this is what the inside looks like,” they said quietly. “It’s bigger than I imagined.”
Bowser blinked.
“...You’re not afraid?”
She looked him up and down.
“No.”
Another pause.
“...You’re taller than the stories said.”
The Koopa Troopas exchanged confused glances.
Bowser rubbed his forehead.
“Untie her.”
One of the minions quickly loosened the ropes.
Bowser folded his arms.
“You can leave.”
they tilted her head.
“...That’s it?”
“I’m not keeping you.”
“You aren’t?”
“No.”
She smiled.
“Well...thank you.”
She bowed politely before walking out of the throne room.
The doors shut behind her.
Bowser muttered to himself.
“...That was weird.”
⸻
Three days later...
A knock echoed through the castle gates.
A lone Koopa answered.
Outside stood Princess they holding a neatly wrapped basket.
“I brought something.”
“...Why?”
“For Bowser.”
⸻
Inside the basket were homemade pastries.
Several rare gemstones from her homeland.
And a handwritten note.
Thank you for letting me go.
Your castle is impressive.
I thought you might like these.
—they
Bowser stared at the basket.
“...Is this a trick?”
“No, sir,” said the Koopa.
“...Should I throw them away?”
Bowser hesitated.
“...No.”
⸻
The visits continued.
Sometimes they brought rare flowers that somehow grew even in volcanic soil.
Other times she brought books about ancient dragons.
Once she gifted him an enormous handmade blanket after learning castle nights became surprisingly cold.
She never asked for anything in return.
She simply enjoyed visiting.
⸻
One afternoon, Bowser finally asked the question that had been bothering him for weeks.
“...Why do you keep coming back?”
they smiled.
“Because everyone else talks about you like you’re only a monster.”
“And?”
“I wanted to decide for myself.”
Bowser looked away.
“You’ve seen enough.”
“I don’t think I have.”
She wandered over to a cracked stained-glass window, still blackened from the failed wedding.
“You never repaired this.”
“...Didn’t feel like it.”
“You could.”
Silence settled between them.
Then she looked back with a small grin.
“You know...you’re surprisingly easy to buy gifts for.”
Bowser frowned.
“...Nobody has ever said that before.”
“I have strange tastes.”
“...Yeah,” Bowser admitted with a puzzled chuckle.
“I’ve noticed.”
For the first time in a long while, the halls of Bowser’s castle didn’t feel quite so empty.

For the first time in a long while, the halls of Bowser’s castle didn’t feel quite so empty.
Bowser: “…You.”
Princess: “Good morning to you too.”
Bowser: “Didn’t I throw you out of my castle yesterday?”
Princess: “Technically, yes.”
Bowser: “And the day before that.”
Princess: “Also yes.”
Bowser: “So why are you back?”
Princess: holding up a basket “I brought soup.”
Bowser: “…Soup.”
Princess: “You looked like you needed it.”
Bowser: “I’m the King of the Koopas! I don’t need soup!”
Princess: “Then don’t drink it.”
Bowser: “…What kind is it?”
Princess: “Spicy mushroom.”
Bowser: “…”
Princess: “…Well?”
Bowser: “…Leave it on the table.”
⸻
Bowser: “You know, most people run away screaming when they see me.”
Princess: “I noticed.”
Bowser: “You’re either incredibly brave…”
Princess: “…or?”
Bowser: “…the strangest princess I’ve ever met.”
Princess: “I’ll take that as a compliment.”
Bowser: “It wasn’t.”
Princess: “Still taking it.”
⸻
A loud explosion echoes somewhere in the castle.
Bowser: “Kamek! What exploded?!”
A distant voice replies.
Kamek: “Nothing important, sire!”
Bowser: “Something important exploded.”
Princess: “Want help?”
Bowser: “No.”
Princess: “I’m coming anyway.”
Bowser: “…Why do you keep doing that?”
⸻
Later, after the chaos is dealt with…
Bowser: “Answer the question.”
Princess: “Which one?”
Bowser: “Why do you keep coming back?”
Princess: “Because everyone else leaves.”
Bowser is quiet for a moment.
Bowser: “…You know who I am.”
Princess: “Yes.”
Bowser: “You know what I’ve done.”
Princess: “Yes.”
Bowser: “You’re not afraid?”
Princess: “Sometimes.”
Bowser: “Then why?”
Princess: “Because every time I leave, I picture you sitting alone in this giant castle pretending you’re fine.”
Bowser folds his arms, looking away.
Bowser: “You don’t know anything.”
Princess: “Maybe not.”
Bowser: “…”
Princess: “…But I know loneliness when I see it.”
Another long silence.
Bowser: “…You’re really weird.”
Princess: smiling “I’ve been told.”
Bowser: “…Come back tomorrow.”
Princess: “I was planning on it.”
Bowser: “I wasn’t inviting you.”
Princess: “Sure you weren’t.”
Bowser lets out an exasperated groan as she walks past him carrying another basket of food.
Bowser: “…What is it this time?”
Princess: “Dessert.”
Bowser: “…Fine. But only because I’d hate for it to go to waste.”
Princess: “Of course.” She hides a knowing smile as Bowser grumbles all the way to the dining hall.
