Ludvina Von Koopa, The Isolated Maestro

"Of all the melodies in the world...power is the sweetest song of all. Shall we dance? ♥"

The oldest of the Koopa children in the royal family, and the one spoken of with the most reverence aside from the Queen herself. Standing only slightly shorter than her younger bruiser of a sister Rory, Ludvina seems to have a theme of blue coloring; her shell and eyes are a dark blue, and her hair even darker so, smooth and kept well-groomed atop her face, full of smooth features, if one can keep their eyes away from her piercing, cold stare. Her body frame is tall and elegant, and she exudes an aura of power and nobility that one actually would associate with a person of her lineage. Very few times will Ludvina be seen without a conductor's baton she keeps on her person, something that is the first clue to Ludvina's interests.

Ludvina is very musically inclined, and devotes herself entirely to music and its compositions, particularly in classical style. To the world, she is a cold, analytical composer of melodies that haunt the hearts of those that serve in her territories, though none of those who find themselves haunted can say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. For hours at a time, Ludvina will be alone in her studies, the only sign of life within her home the echoes of instruments as she dedicates herself to the greatest melodies to be created in the world. When seen outside her studies, she socializes little, saying little more than what is necessary, be it requests, or commands, or anything else besides. Often times, besides the biological necessities, Ludvina will only leave her home to travel, to hear the ambient sounds of nature, assumed to be further inspiration for her music.

Despite this predilection towards a non-violent hobby, Ludvina is said to be the strongest of the Koopalings in all regards, second only to her mother at this point. The charred remains of failed compositions is a clue to this, as before the birth of Bowsa Jr., no other Koopaling had inherited their mother's ability to breathe fire, except for Ludvina. It seems the only thing that keeps Ludvina from being a terror capable of taking over alongside her mother is her inclination towards isolation. Ludvina's home territories are quite out of the way and hard to find, and as such, little is seen or heard of her compared to the more publicly exposed and more maligned of Bowsa's daughters.

Even when taking part in familial bids for power, Ludvina tended towards isolation, finding ways to defend her areas and remain away from battles to focus on her studies. During The Great Airship Offensive, the distant island Pipe Land was retrofitted by Ludvina and her followers to turn all useless Warp Pipes into massive instruments, turning the entire island into something akin to a pipe organ. With which, Ludvina would fire at intruders (and occasionally fire out intruders to exile them) through cannons, all in tune to the beat of a gigantic orchestra. During The Bid To Take Over Dinosaur Island, she retired herself to a distant mountain area, rigging a bridge that led there to sound off musical tones when pressure was felt, different tones for different pressures, letting her know exactly what sort of threat was imposing itself upon her. And in the most recent group attempt at kidnapping the Princess Peach, Ludvina demonstrated handily that her magical strength was as strong as the rumors implied it was.

Although rarely reported to directly participated in physical confrontation, few assume that Ludvina can't hold herself in a fight. Many owe this to the remarks of a single Toad, said to be the only one who hasn't blocked out the memory, who describes Ludvina in battle as "the most deadly dance you'll ever see." Even with her power, like her siblings, Ludvina's efforts in the familial efforts failed due to the efforts of the hero Mario. Since then, Ludvina has retired to her home territories once again, and none know whether she cares not for her losses, or is even now preparing the hero's swan song...

Bowsa Jr., Second Coming of the Koopa Queen

"Don't mess with me! You mess with me, you mess with Mama! And nobody messes with Mama! ♥"

The youngest of the royal children of the Koopa family, Bowsa's most recent daughter, and the most similar to her mother in appearance, Bowsa Jr. is perhaps also the most well-known of the children in recent times. Although clearly still a child, with her tiny body, short flame-colored hair inherited from her mother, and small horns that have yet to grow past their childhood dullness (and is a trait inherited from her mother that no other Koopaling possesses), Bowsa Jr., has shown a marvelous penchant for mischief and mayhem that can come par to her mother's myriad of past achievements and attempts. In recent times, Bowsa and Bowsa Jr. both are seen together in their attempts at seizing power or taking over the Mushroom Kingdom territories, a duo that few wish to try and resist.

Bowsa Jr.'s loyalty to her mother is something that is well-known around the Koopa territories. This is most likely due to not only being the youngest child at the moment, but also because, unlike the rest of the Koopalings, on their own already and away from their mother, Bowsa Jr.'s homestead is the same as the Queen, living with her mother and privy to her plans and lifestyle. Though even without those factors, most assume she would still be the most loyal to her mother; fitting for one who is said to look almost identical to the Koopa Queen in her childhood years.

Since she is still young, Bowsa Jr. has not awakened into much power as of yet, especially in comparison to the rest of her family. Her magical skills are sub-par, her physical prowess still needs work, and her fire-breathing abilities have only just awakened, less powerful than her mother or oldest sibling Ludvina. Bowsa Jr.'s most powerful abilities at the moment are simply the skills she gained with the stolen E. Gadd technology, a magical paintbrush, taken during the Isle Delfino operation years past, which allows her to paint illusions that come to life and cause much mischief, and allow her to disguise herself, which led to the Shadow Mario fiasco on Isle Delfino. Despite this lacking in personal skills, many state that Bowsa Jr. has the most potential, and, as her title suggests, could become as strong as the Koopa Queen herself.

Perhaps because of this, as well as her loyalty to her mother, Bowsa Jr. spends much of her time making her own plans for power grabs, and just as often she will make attempts against the Mushroom Kingdom as she does assist her mother in the same attempts. It seems Bowsa Jr. has a strong love for her entire family despite the fact that her older siblings are so distant from her, and have rarely interacted with her. It was Bowsa Jr. who organized the most recent attempt to kidnap Princess Peach, the last time anyone has seen the siblings all assist their mother since the two operations of several years ago, before she was even born.

On the subject of Princess Peach, Bowsa Jr. seems to possess a passionate dislike for the Mushroom Kingdom leader that nearly rivals her loyalty for her mother. Her first public appearance and assistance of her mother started with a bid against the princess, and many a kidnapping has been committed directly by the young Koopaling, who seems more committed to making the woman disappear than towards any other sort of power grab. Although nobody is really sure of the exact reason for this amount of distaste for the opposing royalty, a few bits of rumors reach the ears of the public, about the child Koopa saying that, with Princess Peach gone, "Mama would be happy." Naturally, this "rivalry" has put Bowsa Jr. against the hero Mario more than any other Koopaling, and perhaps any other person besides her mother, and there's no doubt she considers the hero as another obstacle in her motivations that needs to be taken care of...

Bowsa, Queen of all Koopas

"Gwahahaha! Say your prayers, Peach, 'cause your kingdom's gonna be all mine! ♥"

The mother of the eight Koopalings, and the queen and ruler of the Koopa-controlled territories, the Koopa Kingdom, is the imposing and powerful Bowsa. Standing at a towering height of at least eight feet, the Koopa Queen is a mass of muscle and power, attached to the form of an intimidatingly alluring woman. With a tough, dark green shell that covers her back, covered with spines to add even more to her defense, a pair of curved, powerful horns sticking from through her fiery red hair, piercing crimson eyes, and muscles rippling through her limbs and light yellow skin-tone, Bowsa always strikes an imposing presence just from appearance alone. This is even before she opens her mouth to make commands or shows off her strength in some show of prowess.

Since childhood, Bowsa was though to be "the ultimate example of Koopa evolution." Said to be either the first example of the Koopa's evolutionary future, or, more likely, one who retains the most traits of their ancient, bestial past, the title is not wholly undeserved. Since childhood, she possessed great strength and fortitude, both physical and magical, and possessed a flame-breathing ability that no Koopa, whether Ludvina, Bowsa Jr., or any Fire Sister has been able to match in power. So great is the woman's strength, that the shackle-like bracelets on her arms and legs that can be seen are said to be power restraints, to keep her strength from going completely out of her control.

Even her personality is powerful, in a sense. Bowsa is full of vigor and attitude, a very boisterous person that commands her troops with the power of her words as much as the intimidation of her body, and rare is the time when Bowsa will be without confidence and a taunt or other method of gloating. While often this comes some time before failure usually attributed to outside interference, Bowsa is also stubborn and relentless, and within a week of a failed plan, a new tactic will be put to use, with just as much confidence and force put behind it as the previous ones, if not more. As such, for years, since her ascension to queenhood at a young age, she has made attempt after attempt to seize power and control over all territories.

Of course, due to this, Bowsa is most known for her rivalry with opposing ruler Princess Peach, and Mushroom Kingdom hero Mario, and one can hardly think of one person without thinking of the other two. The end result of any power grab, whether it involves the kidnapping of Princess Peach or not, will end with a battle between the heroic member of the Mushroom Kingdom, and the Koopa Queen herself, and despite the sheer power and magnitude of these clashes, each time, Mario has defeated her. Though her losing streak is massive, Bowsa loses no respect for this, as Mario is the only person who has steadily and earnestly defeated the powerhouse ruler, and considering the reputation Mario has, nobody is willing to fault her for this. Instead, Bowsa will keep up her steady stream of plans and attempts until she finally comes out on top of her eternal rival.

Despite being a mother of eight, nobody who is not a close servant to the Koopa Queen sworn to secrecy have any inkling on who it was that was allowed and able to impregnate the Koopa Queen, or whether it was multiple men who gave her daughters and heiresses, or one single man that was somehow able to attract the great Koopa Queen...
