Bow is the leader of the Boos in Forever Forest and Gusty Gulch, and the object of just about every one of her subjects' affections. When Tubba Blubba stopped being afraid of ghosts and started eating them instead, Bow sent her butler, Bootler, to bring Mario to Boo's Mansion. When Mario and friends had arrived and finally reached Bow's room, she offered to trade Mario a Star Spirit for his services. To make sure Mario could handle the task of defeating Tubba Blubba, she also joined his party, despite the protests of Bootler. With Bow's ability to turn her and Mario invisible, they snuck through Tubba Blubba's Castle, found the secret of his invincibility, and defeated him, releasing all of the Boos he had eaten before. Bow gratefully gave Mario the Star Spirit and decided to join him permanently.  

=Background=

Like other Boos, Bow enjoys scaring people more than anything. She's a bit spoiled due to her upbringing (and perhaps a result of her being born as a ghost?), but despite this she would do anything to protect her fellow Boos. She seems to be attracted to fame and fortune, but rarely strays from her home to pursue them. 

She returned to Boo's Mansion at the end of her adventure with Mario, and managed to attend the celebration at Peach's Castle with Bootler later on.

=Gameplay=

Outside of battle, Bow can turn Mario transparent, so long as Mario refrains from moving during that time.  While transparent, enemies won't notice and may actually walk through Mario.  He can also pass through some walls, provided that something else moves him along.

In battle, Bow has the following attacks:

* Smack - Bow floats up to an enemy and slaps it repeatedly.
* Outta Sight - For 2 FP, Bow can turn herself and Mario transparent, making them immune to attack for one turn.  However, she can't perform an action the next turn.
* Spook - For 3 FP, Bow will attempt to scare all enemies out of the battle.
* Fan Smack - For 5 FP, Bow will float up to an enemy and slap it repeatedly with her fan.

=Trivia=

* Bootler was enamored with Bow's grandmother, which accounts for his devotion to her.
* Bow and Bootler have a cameo in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door at Poshley Heights; they appear after the game has been beaten, however.

-'''Bow''' is a [[Boo]] who acts as a playable partner character in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. She is the fifth partner to be recruited within the game.

 =Background=
-Bow was the leader of the Boos who resided at the Boo's Mansion in [[Forever Forest]] and the adjacent Boo village at [[Gusty Gulch]]. She acted as a proper young lady, who was very confident and somewhat spoiled, as she often made remarks about her own beauty. She also had a butler named [[Characters in Paper Mario|Bootler]] who was always at her beck and call. The Boos took advantage of the cowardice of one local, [[Tubba Blubba]], and they used him as a frequent target of their scaring. However, [[Bowser]] later used the [[Star Rod]] to empower Tubba Blubba and made him seemingly invincible. Corrupted by his power, Tubba Blubba started to eat the Boos, and Bow sought a way to defeat him.

-Her Boos managed to find [[Star Spirits|Skolar]], the Star Spirit that had escaped from Tubba Blubba's castle. Bow had Skolar captured and placed within a cage. When Mario arrived at her mansion and found her, she offered to release Skolar only if Mario defeated Tubba Blubba with them. Mario agreed to the deal, and Bow decided to accompany Mario in carrying out this task, despite Bootler's protests. Bow's ability would prove invaluable when it came to sneaking around Tubba Blubba's Castle and avoiding the invincible Tubba Blubba.
+She returned to Boo's Mansion at the end of her adventure with Mario, and managed to attend the celebration at Peach's Castle with Bootler later on.
-They eventually managed to discover the secret of his invincibility and defeated him, at which point he released all of the Boos that he had eaten. Bow decided that she would tell the Boos to go easy on Tubba Blubba from now on, but she expressed no regret for scaring him in the past. She also honored her end of the deal by releasing Skolar. Bow found that she enjoyed the experience of adventuring and decided to remain with Mario for the rest of his adventure.

-After Bowser was defeated, and the adventure came to a close, Bow returned to her life at Boo's Mansion. Bootler later passed along an invitation to a celebration that was held at [[Princess Peach's Castle]], which the two of them ultimately attended.

-In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Bow and Bootler made a cameo appearance at Poshley Heights after the game was beaten. They were on vacation to visit the Poshley Sanctum, as Bow had not been away from the mansion in quite some time. She was happy to see Mario again.
