an old interview is going around about wario and waluigi's designs, and it has a tidbit about a "walupeach" getting immediately shot down by miyamoto because he feared they'd just make a super mario brothers version of doronjo/her various time bokan expies. and fuck that, that'd rule so i made this

i cannot believe we got the actual concept art released for her, she rules

WAPRICOT REAL
WAPRICOT REAL!!!
In all seriousness though I wish they had the courage of their convictions to make her ugly, or at least "quirky" in her looks. A "Wa" character shouldn't just look like a regular cast member in purple.
