Fun Facts about the other members of the Koopa Royal Family!

Cause I'm bored at work and just realized that I haven't talked about characters other than the Koopalings and a little bit about Junior

King Bowser Brutus von Koopa

Raging Bisexual

Literally raging too

He has a soft spot for kids

He's very wise... but not very intelligent. Very prone to getting tricked

Became King at age 20

Aside from his own brute strength and fire magic, Bowser enjoys using Axes

Has a little brother named Mowbray whom I'll get to in another post (Did you know? In Mario Bros: The Lost Levels, there's an enemy called Bowser's Brother)

Kamek

Calm, composed, and very well put together. The kids still consider him to be a cranky old man though

If someone manages to set him off though? You should consider leaving immediately

Has somehow managed to curb Bowser's tactical stupidity for the last 37 years

He plans on retiring as soon as Ludwig can get his shit together (it's gonna be a while)

Kammy and Kamella are his elder sisters

Was King Regent for 11 years after Bowser's parents passed

Miyashi von Koopa

Bowser Jr's mom and Bowser's deceased wife

A soft spoken and kind soul who brightened the halls of Castle Koopa

She and Bowser were childhood friends

When Ludwig, and later Lemmy, came into their care, Miyashi was the one to convince Bowser to adopt them

Sadly died 4 months after Junior was born from illness

Named after (Shi)geru (Miya)moto

Queen Mila von Koopa

Bowser and Mowbray's mother and the former queen of the Koopa Kingdom

A jovial woman who enjoyed reading and writing almost as much as she loved sparring.

Died under mysterious circumstances with her husband Brutus. The Mushroom Kingdom was implicated, which led to a war

Was close friends with Kamek

When Junior isn't wrecking havoc with his pranks, his personality is very similar to hers. At least, that's what Kamek says.

General Brutus von Koopa

Bowser and Mowbray's father and the former King Consort of the Koopa Kingdom

Stoic and silent. It's rumored that Mila was the first person to make him laugh.

He was the highest ranking member in the Koopa Troop until he left his position

Bowser and Junior get their looks from him

Have some wholesome Super Mario AU stuff! owo Bowser Jr. helping Morton out with babysitting the gang of triplets, Red, Bloo, and Grene Koopa!

I've had the initial sketch sitting around on my harddrive for a long while and I figured I could repurpose it for something new; glad I kept it around! owo

FUNFACTS: -Morton is an excellent babysitter; despite his mass and strength he's very gentle and has a way with kids; to them, all they see is the biggest teddybear around! Ever since he began working at the Waffle Kingdom Bakery, Luigi installed a little area where parents could drop their kids off for a time under Morton's watchful eye. Ever since then, he's been getting more calls for kidsitting, but Morton doesn't mind at all. :}

-The three little koopas are the Koopa Kids, a trio of little KaijuKoopas who show up in the Mario Party games. They don't actually have names, hence the rather very obviously connected ones I gave them x3 They are not in any way related to Bowser, but they are frequent charges to Morton. They love him to death and see him as the big brother they never had ;w;

-Jr. is typically too busy with learning how to run the kingdom to have a job in his teen years, but when he does get the free time he likes to hang out in parks and paint. In this particular instance he just kinda tagged along with Morton on an outing with his current charges, and finds himself very surprised by how much fun he has hanging out with the rambunctious kiddos.

-KaijuKoopa is the name I give Bowser's breed since they canonically don't actually have one. They're the largest known Koopas in existence, easily growing to be the size of bears, or larger! While the royal family of Koopa Kingdom are generally KaijuKoopas, the breed isn't necessarily exclusively in the royal family; there's a fair bit of them amongst the common citizens of the kingdom, such as the trio here. :]

Aaaand that's all for now! I hope ya'll like the art, more to come soon! ^.^
