'''Ms. Mowz''' is a [[Little Mouser|Squeek]] encountered in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. She is the only optional party member available in the game; and depending on when the player acquires her, she is either the sixth or seventh member to join [[Mario]]'s party. She is known to constantly flirt with Mario, which tends to annoy [[Flurrie]] and [[Goombella]] (the latter occasionally calls Ms. Mowz a floozy) as well as make [[Koops]] envious on at least one occasion. She has the useful ability to sniff out any type of [[item]] (Similar to [[Watt]]'s ability to show hidden items in the first ''[[Paper Mario]]''), ranging from [[coin]]s to items to [[Star Piece (Paper Mario)|Star Pieces]]; however, this ability is more like playing hot-and-cold, as straight answers are not given. In battle, Ms. Mowz  possesses the ability to cut through Defense. She can also steal enemies items and badges during battle with the move [[Kiss Thief]].

==History==
===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
Mario's first storyline encounter with the ticklish Squeek Ms. Mowz is at [[Hooktail Castle]]. She later appears in Chapter 2, [[The Great Tree]] in [[Boggly Woods]]; and in Chapter 3, in the [[Glitz Pit]] storeroom. Mario can also encounter an unmasked Ms. Mowz in her [[Rogueport]] shop, the [[Lovely Howz of Badges]]. Later, Mario goes to the [[Trouble Center]] (before or after chapter five) and accepts the trouble marked "Elusive Badge!" by ??? (amusingly, he is told that taking anonymous requests could be dangerous), who he finds is actually Ms. Mowz. She asks Mario to find a badge in Hooktail Castle; she knows it's in Hooktail's room, but is unsure exactly where it is. She says that she has a clue: "Use The Power of the Wind...". If the player goes to Hooktail's room and uses Flurrie's ability, a flap will blow away, revealing a chest that has the [[Attack FX B]] badge inside. When he takes the badge back, Ms. Mowz reveals that she hid it there herself to test Mario's skills, and if he can find badges then she wants to be with him, and joins the party. At the very end of the adventure, she returns to running her badge shop. In addition, she is sometimes seen with a black bandanna instead of a red mask. Whenever she steps outside with the Black bandanna on she calls herself the "Badge-Ninja".

===''Super Paper Mario''===
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Ms. Mowz is a [[Catch Card]] won by winning the [[Duel of 100]] in [[Sammer's Kingdom]]. She could also be seen very briefly during the intro, where she, along with all the partners from the previous two ''Paper Mario'' titles are in a photo at [[Mario's House]]. Lastly, during the third chapter, [[Francis]] made a "things to buy" list, and one of them was a Ms. Mowz doll "...with real smooching action."

==Trivia==
[[File:MsMowz-SPM.png|thumb|right|Ms. Mowz's unused sprite in Super Paper Mario]]
*''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]'' includes a remixed rendition of Ms. Mowz's theme under the title "Ms. Mowz Song".
*A species of mice named "[[Mowz]]" appear in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''.
*[[Koops]] seems to have a small crush on Ms. Mowz, though it doesn't seem to conflict with his relationship with [[Koopie Koo]].
*It is not revealed that she is the owner of the badge shop until/unless she joins Mario's party (as it first appears under her description at the party member select screen). However, she is the only Little Mouser to have her tail in the shape of a heart, even while running the badge shop.
*Ms. Mowz is similar to [[Misstar]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]'', as both use Smooch to restore Mario's HP.
*Ms. Mowz is the only party member who describes her battle moves and field ability, and is implied that she may have been the one describing the moves and abilities for the other party members.
*Ms. Mowz also has sprite data for ''Super Paper Mario'', even though she didn't appear in the game.
