The '''Traveling Sisters 3''' are | The '''Traveling Sisters 3''' are triplet [[Toad (species)|Toad]] sisters who travel around the world of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', serving a similar role to the [[Three Beautiful Sisters]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. The sisters resemble one-another, but with different colors; a red toad with ginger hair, a pink toad with matching pink hair, and a green toad with lime green hair. The red toad appears to be the leader of the trio, always being the first one to speak to Mario. | ||
Like [[Dupree]], the sisters can be encountered in a different settlement in almost every chapter, unintentionally following Mario along his journey. The sisters do not have individual names in most languages, and they frequently rebrand themselves using different descriptors. A signature element of their dialogue is that it typically features ♥ symbols at the end of the text. | |||
The sisters claim to be avid adventurers who enjoy exploring exotic locales, though they seem to spend little time in each of their destinations. [[Goombella]] claims that they do very little actual exploration during their trips, but expresses admiration at their freedom to travel for leisure. Goombella also considers the sisters to be "ditzy", a fact reflected in the girls' apparent lack of knowledge about their destinations and poor recollection of their experiences. | |||

The Traveling Sisters 3 appear in every chapter except for [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 5: The Key to Pirates|Chapter 5]] or [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 8: The Thousand-Year Door|Chapter 8]]. | |||
In [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 1: Castle and Dragon|Chapter 1]], the "''happy wanderers''" can be found in a small park in [[Petalburg]]. The sisters explain that they are tourists, having been drawn to the town by rumours about [[Hooktail]]. The sisters praise the air and water quality of the town, but appear to misunderstand that Hooktail is in fact a dragon; one sister believes Hooktail to be a tourist attraction they must sign up to view, while another sister ponders what Hooktail is at all. | |||
In [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 2: The Great Boggly Tree|Chapter 2]], the "''world-travelers''" are seen outside of the [[The Great Tree]] in the [[Boggly Woods]] after the player has initially entered it and defeated the [[X-Nauts]] inside the entrance. The sisters tell Mario that they want to climb the tree, but question him on the lack of an elevator to reach the top. This appearance is often missed by players who immediately progress deeper into The Great Tree, as there is only a brief window in the chapter in which the sisters will appear outside. | |||
In [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 3: Of Glitz and Glory|Chapter 3]], the "''world-wanderers''" reside in the lobby of the [[Glitz Pit]], having rebranded themselves the '''Rough and Tumble, Battling AND Traveling Sisters 3'''. They share disappointment with the minor-league matches, but are excited at the prospect of watching the major-league fights. As Mario's fame as ''The Great Gonzalez'' increases, the sisters will become increasingly star struck by him. Initially they will request an autograph from him, but later ask to marry Mario, and eventually beg to pluck hairs from his moustache as a token keepsake. | |||
In [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 4: For Pigs the Bell Tolls|Chapter 4]], the sisters make an ill-timed excursion to [[Twilight Town]], becoming transformed into ordinary pigs alongside the town's inhabitants. [[Goombella]] suggests to Mario that the pigs seem familiar, hinting at their identity. As pigs their speech cannot be understood, but their oinking dialogue displays ♥ symbols at the end of the text, just as their regular dialogue does. Upon Mario's defeat of [[Doopliss]], they are transformed back into Toads and disagree on their recollection of events. One sister fiercely denies that they were transformed into pigs, but boasts that in such a circumstance they would have made for "''cute ones''". | |||
In [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 6: 3 Days of Excess|Chapter 6]], the "''wandering girls''" lodge in the [[Poshley Heights]] hotel. They express delight at their upscale surroundings, and tell Mario that they plan to visit the [[Poshley Sanctum]] during their stay. | |||
In [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 7: Mario Shoots the Moon|Chapter 7]], the "''chilly wanderers''" travel to [[Fahr Outpost]]. They inform Mario that they travelled to the region to partake in skiing and ice-skating, but are dismayed to find no such activities there. The sisters bitterly complain about the cold temperature and, unlike their previous excursions, express deep regret about travelling to the town, going so far as to state they hate the destination. | |||
After completion of the game, the sisters venture to the shantytown in [[Keelhaul Key]] to relax and unwind on the beach. One of the sisters complains about finding the seawater too cold. Another is more pleased, stating that the water "''feels so good''". | |||
