Despite his advanced age, he radiates a surprising energy, always ready to watch over Princess Peach, whom he has raised since her infancy. His distinguished appearance, complete with his cane, round glasses, and white mustache, conceals a personality that is both paternal and slightly anxious. He speaks with a refined southern English accent, peppering his sentences with archaic phrases that betray his age and upbringing. Though he panics easily in the face of danger, his devotion to Peach often pushes him to overcome his fears, whether it’s offering advice to Mario or staying by her side despite the threats. His role as a mentor and protector makes him a respected figure, though his fragile appearance sometimes leads others to underestimate him.

Background: [Toadsworth has served as Princess Peach's steward for decades, having raised her since she was a baby. He first appeared in Super Mario Sunshine, where he accompanied Peach, Mario, and a group of Toads to Isle Delfino for a vacation. His role has since expanded to include hosting events, offering advice, refereeing tennis matches, and occasionally using his magical cane to assist Mario and Luigi. He has a younger counterpart, Toadsworth the Younger, who appeared in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. The two share a complex relationship marked by mutual respect and occasional exasperation, especially after the Shroob incident.]
