Princess Peach

Princess Peach (ピーチ姫 Pīchi-Hime?), also known as Princess Toadstool, or just Peach, is a character from the Super Mario universe, and is usually seen as Mario's damsel in distress. As her name suggests, she is the princess and ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom. In 1985, Peach was known as "Princess Toadstool" outside of Japan, and she has been known as "Princess Peach" since Yoshi's Safari & Super Mario 64.

Character description
Princess Peach has been a mainstream Mario character since her first appearance in Super Mario Bros., in which Mario had to rescue her from the clutches of the evil Koopa King Bowser. She usually takes on the role of the damsel in distress, although she has been known to help out Mario on some occasions. For example, in Super Princess Peach, it was her turn to save Mario, Luigi and Toad from Bowser. Another well known case was when she was the last member to join Mario's party in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars to help him retrieve the seven Star Pieces and defeat Smithy; she was also noted for being the only party member with a group healing skill as well as a revival spell, making her incredibly valuable as an ally. Her first playable appearance, however, was in Super Mario Bros. 2 where she had to help save the dream land called Subcon along with Mario, Luigi and Toad. She is also known to be Mario's love interest.
