Toadette

is a female Toad who appears as a playable character in various spin-off games throughout the Mario series. Since her first appearance in Mario Kart: Double Dash, Toadette has usually been paired with the Toad character in spin-off games.
== Profile ==
=== Physical description ===
Toadette is seen wearing a sleeveless pink dress with a thin white line near the lower portion (except in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door). Layered on top of the dress is a bright red vest with a yellow trim lining. Underneath this, she wears white pants and brown, padded shoes. In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Toadette's artwork depicts her as having a scarlet red dress and maroon vest, although her in-game model shows her with a pink dress and bright red vest.
Toadette has the same body and facial structure as other Toads; she has the same round head and skin tone most other members of her species share. Her eyes are small, dark, and oval-shaped. Like most Toads, she has the appearance of a child, even in terms of her voice, making her sound like a young girl.
Toadette has a pink cap with white spots, same as Small Blue Toad's blue cap with white spots in Super Mario 3D World. She has a unique set of braid-like plaits, each with two pink plaits and a third plait pink with white spots, that match the design of her Toad cap; they flow freely and tend to bounce around when she is in the middle of any activities.
Toadette also has her own form named Peachette, giving her a resemblance to Princess Peach. However, there are differences, such as the notably different dress, Toad cap-like crown, gray pupils, hairtails, and Toad-like shoes. This Peach-like form makes its debut in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe.
In her builder form in Super Mario Maker 2, Toadette wears a pink hardhat on her head and a belt around her waist.
=== Personality ===
Although Toadette is usually considered as being a happy, spunky, and sensitive person, when she is upset or reality starts to kick in, she can become childish, timid, and stubborn.
Toadette was emotional when Punio stopped visiting the Rogueport Sewers. If players change the GameCube clock time, Lucky who runs the lottery, says the lottery numbers are screwed up because of the clock change. When he tells Toadette, she cried her little eyes out. The final time this was shown was when the final tutorial session is finished, Toadette runs off crying knowing that she would not see Mario for the rest of the game.
In Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix, Toadette is pushy because she forced Mario and Toad to fix their hotel. In Mario Super Sluggers, Toadette was shown to be very determined and stubborn when she claimed that the team needed her, and she would not take no for an answer.
=== Relationships ===
==== Mario ====
Toadette and Mario are shown to be good friends. Toadette provides help, assistance, and activities to him. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, she speaks to him with hearts often in her speech bubbles, and whenever he leaves, she expresses concern for his safety.
==== Luigi ====
Toadette has rarely been in speaking terms with Luigi, but during the events of Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, the two have interacted more frequently. Toadette has built Papercraft machines that can be used in battle, and in return, Luigi and Mario find Paper Toads scattered throughout the Mushroom Kingdom to give to Toadette, so she can build stronger, more resilient papercraft. When Toadette's Papercrafts are destroyed by Bowser, Luigi tried to console her, though Toadette reveals that she already had an idea for how the trio could defeat Bowser.
==== Toad ====
Toadette and Toad are best friends with each other, and not to mention working partners, too. In Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, an image of Toad and Toadette both holding flowers can be seen in Yoshi Park 2. The ending photo in Mario Kart Wii shows the two Toads holding hands with each other. The opening of Super Mario Galaxy shows the two of them sitting in the grassy plain watching the shooting stars.
==== Peach ====
Toadette has been considered to be best friends with Peach. When Toadette first made her debut in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Peach examined Toadette and considered her a "rare Toad". Toadette had aspirations to team up with Peach during one cup but went with Daisy instead. In Mario Superstar Baseball and Mario Super Sluggers, Peach formed a baseball team known as the Peach Monarchs, with Toadette being on the team. Toadette has good chemistry with Peach in both games. Toadette also expressed concern for Peach's safety in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle when the Rabbids begin "renovating" the Mushroom Kingdom.
==== Daisy ====
Toadette has been considered to be best friends with Daisy. When Toadette first made her debut in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, she was not all that familiar with the other characters except for her default partner Toad. But when Toadette met Daisy for the first time, the two seemed to get along very well when they teamed up. The two would be on the Peach Monarchs baseball team in both Mario Superstar Baseball and Mario Super Sluggers respectively. Even though their chemistry was only neutral in both baseball games, the two were still great friends. During the Ocean Tour event of Mario Kart Tour, both Toadette and Daisy were entrusted Sailor uniforms. Daisy and Toadette are also seen talking to each other in the opening scenes of Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

=== Mario Kart 8===
Following an absence from Mario Kart 7, Toadette appears as a playable character in both versions. In Mario Kart 8, Toadette is an unlockable character, and like most characters, she is unlocked at random when completing a Cup.

During her last tutorial with Mario, Toadette runs off in tears of emotions, knowing she will not see Mario for the rest of his adventure. After Punio returns to Boggly Woods, Toadette leaves a message on the notice board in Rogueport, as she wondered where Mario was. If Mario is caught trying to fix the Happy Lucky Lottery, Lucky mentions that he had to tell Toadette that she is not able to play, which he said caused Toadette to "burst into tears."
The German and Spanish versions incorrectly refer to Toadette as Vanna T., due to both sharing a Japanese name.

When Mario and the gang defeat the Hammer Bro, Toadette thanked them and then gave them the second Sky Crystal. Toadette also keeps the music stand from her would-be recital in her room afterward, along with two Metronomes that only Toadsworth knows the secrets of.

Toadette in particular hosts for Stars, and after a character obtains a Star, Toadette moves to another space. If the player refuses to gain the Star for the first time, she is shocked and assumes that the player does not need it; she asks why the player does not want the Star. If the player refuses for the second time, Toadette says that she hopes the player does not regret it. If the player refuses again, Toadette allows the player to pass. In their mind, she thinks the player is "weird" or using a "strange strategy."
Sometimes, if Toadette is talked to in the Party Plaza, she mentions that she should start playing for a change.
===Mario Party Superstars===
Like in Super Mario Party, Toadette is at the Star Space, where she gives a Star to whoever pays her 20 coins.
