Wapeach

For a similar concept originally posted by retired user , see Warupichi.
Wapeach is an antagonist in the Mario series, often seen in projects as a companion of Wario and Waluigi, whether as their commander or otherwise. She is a dark counterpart of Princess Peach, much like Wario and Waluigi themselves parallel their rivals Mario and Luigi.
==Background==
Wapeach was originally designed by Fumihide Aoki, the character designer of Waluigi, as a potential playable character in Mario Tennis and/or its sequel, Mario Power Tennis, but the concept was rejected by Nintendo.
According to fan questions Aoki answered before he took his Wapeach posts down and privated his Instagram account, it's possible that she would have been a descendant of a fallen royal family, and that she would have been notably younger compared to Wario and Waluigi, giving them the dynamic of a bossy rich girl ordering her lackeys around. Aoki also stated that he considered giving her a dragon-like Yoshi companion with horns and wings. He admitted to not being aware of the creation of Boshi - known in Japanese as ワッシー
Wasshī - for Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, so it's possible that this was a coincidence on his part.
==Appearances in Games==
