If you want to talk about them I'd love to hear more about your version of the Koopalings they sounds really cool :]

Ok this is ridiculously long and I apologize, but hanks again for the ask! I've been waiting to talk about them and yet I still don't have many coherent thoughts, but I'll try my best to put them together! I don't mention it in the mini bios, but Bowser has a big soft spot for kids which is one of the reasons why he adopted 7 of them. The second reason is that they all have incredible magic talent that made some of them easy to track down.

We'll start with Ludwig, the oldest! He's 25, and was adopted by Bowser 15 years ago. He's incredibly intelligent and can play the Violin and the Piano, and composes in his free time. He's a bit of an entitled prick and acts like he's the smartest of his siblings, despite Iggy, Morton and Wendy all being a lot smarter than he is (and he knows it). He comes from a noble family of the Koopa Kingdom, but a lesser known fact is that he’s the bastard son of his mother and the person who he thought was his uncle. Needless to say, his “Father” was very pissed when he found out that his brother and his wife had a thing going on behind his back for over a decade, and Ludwig was disowned as a result. Things turned out well for him though, since he was adopted by the fucking king.

Lemmy is 24 and was adopted 13 years ago. He’s trans, and has a partner named Bailey, an Ice Bro! They specialize in illusion magic and like to put on street performances, much to Kamek’s dismay. He’s also an incredibly skilled acrobat. He’s a massive goofball and his siblings think he’s the least mature out of all of them. Surprisingly, Lemmy is actually friends with the Mario Bros. and has no ambition to become more than a prince. Often, Lemmy would help take care of Junior when they were younger, and he passed his artistic knowledge down to Junior. He and his (biological) older siblings unfortunately had a very abusive upbringing, and they did their best to shield them from the brunt of it. But when both of his siblings turned 18, they were kicked out. Luckily for him, his older sister finally worked up the guts to report their parents to the cops, and Bowser himself showed up to take in a very shaken and scared 11 year old.

Next up is Roy! He’s 23, and was adopted by Bowz 12 years ago with his sister Wendy. He puts on an act of being loud, rude and flirtatious, but is deep down surprisingly protective of the people he loves and is easily flustered when his boyfriend, an Inkling named Shizui, flirts with him. He plays soccer for his college team and is a pilot for the Koopa Troop. He learned how to cook because Wendy was very picky when they were younger. His and Wendy’s parents sadly died in a car crash, and since their relatives were unable to care for them for one reason or another, they were put in foster care. The two siblings went from family to family and eventually they ended up with a seemingly nice couple in their 30’s. It turns out the couple was only in it for tax benefits, and Roy and Wendy took off after that, spending 2 years wandering around the Kingdom, pick-pocketing people and stealing food. Eventually they made it to the Capital of the Kingdom, where Roy tried to pickpocket the wrong person, resulting in them getting caught by a guardsman. Bowz of course, found out about the two kids sitting in jail and took them in.

Iggy’s next! They’re 21 and was adopted 12 years ago, like Roy and Wendy. They're agender and dating a Rito girl named Rouru. He is highly eccentric and excitable. Iggy is a scientific genius who enjoys working with plants and animals, and will spend days on end working in his lab, sometimes as a detriment to his needs. Kamek is usually the person who has to drag them out of the lab, chastising him for not taking better care of himself. They are autistic, resulting in abnormal social skills and odd mannerisms, but their siblings accepted him nonetheless and will literally fight other people if they mess with Iggy. When Iggy was 8 years old, his dad died in a factory accident, resulting in them and their mother being left alone. His mother unfortunately took to alcohol which made her temporarily forget her sorrows, but it was clear when she was sober that she was not in a good headspace. The bills were piling up and up. Luckily for Iggy and his Mom, Bowser was still looking to adopt more kids, and Iggy's mother jumped at the chance to get her child into a better situation. They still write to each other and Iggy's seen here a few times since.

Wendy's also 21 (born a month after Iggy) and a Demigirl. She's super smart and both musically and academically gifted. Very confident, thoughtful and concise when it comes to planning but also hotheaded and eager-to-please. She has a friendly rivalry with Roy and the two often throw casual insults back and forth. She hates losing and will take almost any measure to ensure she doesn’t (She and Ludwig are not the kinds of people you want to bet against.). Since her backstory is the exact same as Roy’s, I won’t repeat it here.

Morton is 19 and was adopted 11 years ago with Larry. A cunning tactical mind, Morton is almost always ahead of someone, whether in competition or conversation. He doesn’t talk much, but when he does, it’s always something surprisingly wise for someone of his age and is more or less the group therapist for the Koopalings. That being said, he is EXTREMELY competitive, and will not hesitate to show off if challenged. He enjoys working on old machinery in his free time, and has reverse engineered a Steam Gardener to help it run again. Morton’s childhood wasn’t perfect, but his parents were always there for him when he needed them. One day at school, though, Morton accidentally knocked a kid out with the magic he didn’t know he had. In that part of the Koopa Kingdom, people were more superstitious of magic than in others, and Morton’s mom and dad were worried trying to figure out what to do about their son’s new abilities. That night, however, Morton decided it was a good idea to hightail it out of town, so he left a note and ran. About 6 months into his lonely solo journey, he met Larry, and things started to look up. [Continued in Larry’s Bio!]

Second-to-last is Larry! He’s 18, a demiboy and was adopted by Bowser 11 years ago with Morton. He’s always been a mischievous little brat, but usually with light-hearted intentions. Larry, being one of the youngest of his adopted family, sponged up his siblings personality traits and hobbies, until he became what I can best describe as a jack-of-all-trades and a master of none. He plays tennis for his high-school team, moonlights as a DJ. He cares deeply about his appearance and is a bit of a flirt. They also enjoy playing video games, and tend to stay up to ungodly hours at night. Unfortunately, Larry’s parents, siblings, and teachers never really took to his mischievous nature, and decided that it was in his best interest to be sent to a boarding school. Larry of course, did not take to this. The rooms were cold, the food was gross, and the teachers were mean and rude. So what did Larry do about it? He ran away, of course, but not before setting up the gnarliest stink bomb trap ever in the headmaster’s office! Larry explored the countryside of the Koopa Kingdom for about a month before he met Morton, another young boy who had also ran away from home. They instantly became best friends! And so for another year, the boys traveled the Kingdom, stealing from shops, houses, farms for food. Then they came across the biggest house yet; The king’s castle. Their plan was flawless. Get it, get food and riches, get out. Well? Let’s just say they ended up staying longer than intended.

Finally, we have the crown prince himself, Bowser Jr.! He’s 14, and possibly the most spoiled kid there is. Junior lived a very sheltered life in the castle until 4 years ago. As a result, he’s very naive to how people aside from his family and the occasional castle staff act. He’s able to imitate voices and mannerisms to a very creepy degree, and enjoys pranking people and painting. One day, Bowser decided he had enough of Juniors pranks (mostly involving Splat Bombs) and enrolled the kid in the same school that the younger Koopalings were attending, and within a week, Junior practically ruled the school (from his point of view anyway. The teachers were very much still in charge.). He doesn't have many friends now, but the ones he does have are fiercely loyal to him.
