The one where a certain passionate princess from another kingdom talks with her friends about the big scaly Koopa King that's now on good behavior for the time being. She one of the more 'difficult' ones to convince towards giving that same Kong Koopa a chance without antagonizing him on sight.

Not gonna lie, not entirely sure if I portrayed this one effectively. Let's see if I gave her a good first impression in this specific story, yeah?


Princess Peach was quietly stirring her tea at the moment. A friend was currently sitting in front of her, voicing her...concerns. She was a very close friend of hers, and was simply worried about her and the others. Now some normal, peaceful conversations would have a friend sit down with another friend so they could speak to one another about the issue at hand, work on a way to improve their situation and make everyone happy in the process. And the preferred way to do so is in a calm, collected, and level-headed manner.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAH?! Bowser and Rosalina are WHAT?!"

Unfortunately for those who enjoy peace and quiet, Princess Daisy was Peach's best friend. Peaceful and Quiet...are the last words that can be used to describe her. Peach has long-since accepted that her dear friend has a ridiculous amount of difficulty maintaining an indoor voice.

"They're spending time together, Daisy. And it's completely harmless."

"Harmless?! HARMLESS?!" This is King Bowser we're talking about, Peach! And as annoying as he is, he's anything BUT harmless!" Daisy interjected, slamming her hands on the table. "How in the world is Rosalina okay with him walking all around her place like that? I mean, i'd be at least keeping an eye on him before he starts any trouble!"

"They have been spending quite a bit of time together, Daisy. And Bowser has been on his best behavior according to her. Plus, ever since this started, there hasn't been any attacks on the Mushroom Kingdom or Sarasaland. If I may be honest, this surprising turn of events may serve to be quite positive for everyone."

"Do you even hear the words coming out of your mouth, Peach? Bowser's not only a brute, but he can also be ridiculously sneaky if he really tries! There's no way that he ISN'T up to something!"

"Daisy." Mario interjected, interrupting the Sarasaland Princess's rant. "Now, I know that you have your doubts about this. Believe us when I say that we do too, and some still do. But we can't really deny that Bowser's been on some passable positive rolls lately. He hasn't done anything lately that warrants any serious intervention. So I'd say that there isn't anything to worry about until...you know, he actually does something evil. Otherwise, we think that his new friendship with Rosalina is harmless. And as Peach said, it can be mutually beneficial for both of them. Rosalina likes is company, and vice versa."

"You too, Mario...?" Daisy moaned in abstract annoyance. She then directed her attention towards Luigi, who jumped a bit at her fierce gaze. "Luigi! What do YOU think about all this?"

Not really comfortable with being called out like this, Luigi nervously laughed while rubbing the back of his neck. "W-W-Well...I, uh, you see...um.."

"Luiiiiigiiiii!" Daisy drawled out, again slamming her hands on the table and making him jump a bit. She then got real close to his face, something he wasn't fully prepared for, evidenced by his blush. "Don't go all jittery on me now, Luigi! Tell me YOUR thoughts on this whole thing!"

"Okay okay! I think this is a really good thing for everyone!" Luigi scrambled a bit while putting together his thoughts as quickly as he could. "As Mario and Peach said, they both seem to be really enjoying each others company. And ever since then, Bowser hasn't really done anything evil or anything like that. If anything, it seems like Rosalina has been a very good influence on him in some fronts, so there's no need to be seriously worried as of right now. And besides, Rosalina is practically an effective goddess in terms o power. If Bowser were to actually pull something, she'd be able to handle it with or without us. But...I'm confident that he'll behave himself."

Daisy eyed him critically. She was already well aware that Luigi was being completely truthful with his words, as he has no reason to lie to her about something so seeing how Luigi was fully supportive of Bowser and Rosalina being friends and interacting with one another more, that leads to a three-to-one vote on whether intervention needs to be done or not. As such, Daisy had to concede to their points, and accept that Bowser was indeed on much better behavior since he began hanging out with Rosalina. As such, their interactions should remain uninterrupted so that his development can continue positively. Daisy ruining that due to a grudge wouldn't be helping anyone. So against her feelings...she wouldn't do anything too rash.

...That didn't mean she had to like it, though.

"Man. This sucks." Daisy grumbled in annoyance. "I really wanted a good reason to punch him in his stupid face the next time I see him...other than doing it just to do it."

"Well, at least you're being somewhat fair about this..." Peach smiled uneasily.

"And please, Daisy. We don't know if this change in Bowser is going to stick or not. That's a fair suspicion. But for all things good in the Mushroom, don't do anything that might jeopardize this. Just...stay cool, alright?" Mario suggested with a just as uneasy smile.

"Why are you both telling me to be cool as if I'm the worst at it?! I can be cool! I can totally be cool!" Daisy shouted.

Luigi shakily raised a finger. "You...you can be a bit hot-tempered at the potential worst of times..."

"WHAT THE GOOMBA?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" Daisy shouted once again, appearing comically large in comparison to her friends being small. She even had the razor teeth to go along with the intimidating image.

Luigi sweated a bit with both hands raised. "All we're saying-completely without offense, by the way-that you can be just as hot-tempered as Bowser...and if you go picking fights with him simply because you don't like him, you'll both be butting heads for extended periods of time, then no one will get anywhere." Luigi calmed himself as it looked like Daisy was quieting down. "Look. If he does do something that warrants righteous retribution, THEN you can punch him in the face. There. Is that reasonable enough? Remember that you've already slapped him hard enough to send him flying sky-high, so he's gonna be nervous about you doing it again. That might be your way of keeping hi in check, I guess...?"

"Hnnnn..." Daisy, after hearing all of the more reasonable inputs of her friends, she simply huffed, and pouted. And it caused quite a bit of embarrassment for Luigi, because something about her puffed cheek pouting was incredibly adorable. Daisy conceded fully this time, sighing and folding her arms. "Alright alright, you all can stop ganging up on me now. I'll behave around Bowser. The Three-Kingdom Ball is coming up and we all have to be on 'respectable behavior' I guess. But the second he does something even remotely evil-looking, I'm SO kicking his scaly butt back to his own castle! Just because he's been on good behavior lately does NOT make us friends!"

"That's fair. So long as you at least give him a chance." Peach sighed with a tired smile. Daisy was a handful sometimes. The two of them couldn't be more different. And not many would be able to understand that they're close friends regardless of that. She lightly reached over and held Daisy's hands in her own. "Do give him a chance, Daisy. Everyone deserves a chance. And Bowser has proven time and again that no matter what he does, he will never fully reach the crossroads into pure irredeemable evil. That's why we keep believing in him."

"Yeah yeah." Daisy casually waved farewell to Mario and Peach as she got up from her seat and smoothed out her dress. "Well, this has been a conversation. Not a necessarily fun one for me, but I'll admit that things were accomplished. I'll see you later, Peach." She said as she began walking. "Luigi, let's go."

"What? Why am I coming...?"

Daisy turned towards him and blinked. "Whaddya mean? You're my ride home today."

"W-What?!" Luigi stuttered a bit in response to this. Though seeing the 'go-ahead' gesture from Peach, and the slight smirk from Mario, Luigi simply sighed as he got up from the table as well. "Okay..." With this, he followed Daisy outside the palace entrance. Luigi then picked a Super Leaf from his overalls and absorbed it, powering himself up to Fox Luigi, gaining fox ears and a tail. Sometimes it would be a full suit, sometimes it wouldn't. It was a wonder how everyone else turns into a raccoon when using the item, yet he turns into a fox. He long-since stopped questioning it and just went with the flow. The function was basically the same anyway, so it wasn't like there were serious concerns. "S...Shall we?"

"We shall." Daisy nodded, then placed her hands on her hips, one of her signature poses. "...Well? Don't be shy!~"

"R-Right, right!" Luigi hurriedly nodded as he moved over to her, picking her off her feet and giving her the princess carry, before his tail flapped against the ground and they immediately took flight. Daisy smiled as she gently slides her arms around Luigi's neck to gain a firm hold on him, simply enjoying the experience as the two of them soared the skies back towards Sarasaland, where Daisy would do a lot of thinking as well as preparing for the Three-Kingdom Ball. Until they get there, she simply enjoyed herself in Luigi's arms. She'll admit that she 's not really a fan of the princess carry. It simply wasn't her style. But...she'll tolerate it if it's Luigi doing the carrying. And ONLY Luigi, whenever she feels like it. Mario can keep to carrying Princess Peach's Pretty Pink Powerful Posterior whenever he does the carry for her.

...Heh. Even Daisy can have fun with alliterations.

Besides, she doesn't know any people besides herself who uses their hips as an actual attack. She heard that it's a favorite of Peach's during those multiverse tournaments people get hyped up about. And they both do so during their many kart races with their friends while holding an item. Daisy has come to a conclusion that she and Peach were the more graceful butt-bashers. She also briefly wondered if Rosalina could get in on the method...

...I went from thinking about hitting Bowser to protect a fellow princess, to thinking about the princess carry, to thinking about princess butts. I've got SUCH a sophisticated imagination, and an even better attention-span. She thought sarcastically to herself.

Her 'active' imagination did serve well to pass the time though, as Luigi soon landed in front of her castle, setting her on her feet. She smoothed out her dress again. "Thanks, Luigi."

"No problemo!~" Luigi tipped his hat.

"...I know I asked already...but I'll do it again anyway. Do you really think Bowser's being sincere with all of this stuff he's dong with and for Rosalina?"

Luigi thought about this for a moment, and considered a different approach. "Well...Bowser seems pretty scarred by a horrendous decision he made in the past, and it really made him worry for his son Junior. So I think that...whatever he does next and then on, he'll be thinking about his son first. Not even his ridiculously overblown ego and selfishness can override his love for his son. It'll never ever happen. So...he'll control himself for Junior's sake, as well as his own sake. And Rosalina is helping him be better at both of those things while also connecting with hi over what makes the similar and different, experiences and all...at least that's my personal take on it, anyway...we'll just have to wait and see."

"Oh that's just grand. You know that patience is not a virtue that I'm skilled with." Daisy sighed as she lightly bends down a bit. She began scratching behind Luigi's fox ears, and petting his fox tail. temporary or not, they were very much real, and thus he could feel the pets for the time being. "Geez. All of you are just too nice for your own good...but then again, you all wouldn't be yourselves if you weren't. So I guess I'll bear it for your sakes. Better be grateful!"

"We are, we are!" Luigi nodded hurriedly, blushing from the petting. "T-Thanks for giving this a shot, Daisy."

The princess rolled her eyes. She then ceased the petting and simply kissed Luigi on the nose, greatly darkening his blush and causing his tail to wag happily against his will, which he tried to hide in utter embarrassment. "Just hope that I don't regret it."

"G-G-Got it! I'm just gonna go...bye!" Luigi stuttered with a red face as he turns around and flies off, briefly hitting a lamppost-"Where did this even come from?!"-before he regained his course and began his flight back towards Mushroom Kingdom. Daisy simply shook her head as the green dork flies away awkwardly. She then turns and places a hand on the door of her castle, though she stops and really thinks about what she heard.

Everyone deserves a chance. And Bowser has proven time and again that no matter what he does, he will never fully reach the crossroads into pure irredeemable evil. That's why we keep believing in him.

I think that...whatever he does next and then on, he'll be thinking about his son first. Not even his ridiculously overblown ego and selfishness can override his love for his son.

"...Man. I really hate it when good reason stops my momentum." Daisy pouted again, before she shook her head and entered her castle, closing the door behind her.

Regardless of all of that, she had a ball to prepare for.


WELP. Daisy's here.

My take on her, LOTS of spice, with hints of sugar here and there, and she can be quite nice once the spice dies down.

...This metaphor is kinda meh.

Anyway! In this instance, Princess Daisy is reasonable, but not nearly as forgiving as Peach or Rosalina. A great contrast to both of them, don't you readers agree? If Bowser wants to get along with her, it's definitely going to take a lot of time and care. Something both of the have difficulty doing since patience isn't a virtue they mastered, and they're both quite hot-blooded, especially in competitions.

...That's gonna lead to some fun interactions, if I can manage it correctly.

Seeya soon!
