Description Hey, did you remember Relasmunde, that trash fanparent I did for Princess Peach, who appeared twice on this site? (the really first drawing of her was putted in storage a while ago)
She's back! After drawing another interpretation of the princess' parents for a commission, I was really inspired to bring back my own version, and god! I was so inspired to draw at least the mother and to give her a bit of bio!<3
I also wanted to change her name, since I didn't like Relasmunde anymore... Since she's a character directly related to a canon character, I don't want to deepen her too much to respect, as much as I can, the Mario Canon, but I'm still glad of the result of her appearance! ;^;

A little advice: during the creation of her character I mostly watched canon sources, since I know of an existance of a version of Peach's father who appeared in some comics, but since they aren't confirmed by Nintendo, I tend to don't look at them so much.

You know, this character implies a massive dose of personal headcanons about Mario's lore: if you don't like them it's fine, but please leave a constructive critic or continue browsing Deviantart! And if you want to ask me anything about her, feel free! I know they may be some unclear details, since I still have to lean properly English, but I hope this will be comprehensive!

Rosamunde Toadstool is the current Queen of the Mushroom Kingdom, wife of King Peter, and  mother of Princess Peach.
However, she was the former ruler of the kingdom, but due to a long and weakening illness she contracted shortly after the birth of her daughter, she had to leave the throne to her husband and retire herself in a peaceful place in order to survive; so Princess Peach, during her infancy, lived between her castle with her father and the villa where the mother stays, and were both of the parents to choose Toadsworth to take care of their daughter when they couldn’t.
Nowadays, Rosamunde’s conditions are generally good, despite she still have to be cautious to don’t work too hard, and she’s mostly seen as a symbolic figure to the Kingdom, who appears rarely in public, and she’s still really loved by Toads for her notorious calm and supporting nature during emergencies.

Peach became the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom during the events of the first Super Mario Bros, when Bowser transformed most of the inhabitants in blocks and plants, where the King, in order to protect his daughter from Bowser, was muted into a giant ? block, now placed in Rosamunde’s house.
Despite shortly after Peach was saved from Mario, she was able to turn back whoever was transformed by Bowser’s dark magic, the princess found some serious struggles to bring back her father in his human form again cause her still weak powers, and when she’s not kidnapped, she still tries to strengthen them as she can.

Naturally Rosamunde’s reaction, when her husband was transformed, was initially devastated, and that event worsened her health, but she was still strong enough to survive and recover, and she promised herself to take care to Peter even in this form, and for this reason she placed him in her home, and looks at him when Peach isn’t visiting them.

Nowadays Rosamunde still lives her calm life, but she’s still willing to greet Peach and her friends at any time (and offering them her cake: and yup, it was her who taught baking to Peach) and support them, however she, despite Peach forgave him after knowing him for a LONG time, dislikes Bowser and his reign, and doesn’t want to see him in her home.



Trivia: Did you noticed that Rosamunde's hair is pretty similar to Rosalina's? The answer is simple: in my headcanon Peach's mother is a direct descendant of the Star Lady's brother, mentioned in the famous storybook, and always in my mind, Rosalina's family was a Toadstool's direct ancestor, so Peach and Rosalina are distantly related. (and nope, I don't believe in the Game Theorists' famous speculation. It was way too absurd, in my humble opinion)

Ah, what a wonderful take on Peach's mother! Seriously, I only have good things to say! Firstly, I love this lineart and coloring; both are so sincerely clean and skillfully crafted, and your sense of symmetry and balance here are great to go along with it!  Again, your shading has gotten SO good! Her cape is shaded in all of the right places, and the crown's, too; I love that mix of soft and cel shading you've done with it! I also have to mention that I really love the eye style you've experimented with here! Not only is it your signature style, but it's improved so much to really show off the depth with the shadows and shine! I'm very impressed again with what you've done here, and I sincerely hope that you are, too!

And her story is sincerely credible to Peach's entire history! Thank you for remembering that Peach is actually a person who wields a magic power (and I commend the fact that you wrote it in that she lives instead of dies, since we have never seen Peach's mother in any of the games or comics!) A lot of people tend to forget why Bowser was initially interested in capturing Princess Peach in the first place, and I feel like this is the original reason rather than that he's madly in love with her. I also think that Rosamunde's backstory greatly explains  why she doesn't live in the castle with Peach, and why Peach remains a Princess and has to rule in their stead! I always love reading your descriptions, because you give practical, sensical reasons for a character's motives, as well as gives them humanity! It's very believable for the lore, and I sincerely enjoyed reading it (Nintendo should definitely make this canon)!

Hi! Sorry if I reply only now, but I was too lazy to write anything only now--- Sorry ^^
Thank you very much for the compliments of my drawing! It was a simple one to do, for relaxing from my studies, and yet I wanted to experiment something new, as usual! So glad you liked it!

Thank you very much! I'm not fully satisfied with Rosamunde's story (I had to cut some parts for fitting her as a more credible Nintendo Character, and I had to give her some basic character traits for this reason). And yes, Peach has actually some powers, not as great as Rosalina, but there are. Super Mario Bros's synopsis or other mentions in the game. And Exactly, Bowser's first intent was kidnapping Peach as she's the only who could reverse his spell, and he eventually fell in love with her. It's still not his main reason to abduct her!
And yes, It's kind of unusual the fact she's still here instead of being dead: with all respect of whoever made their own version of their mothers dead, which can be also be an option, but not the only one! After all, Peach is still a princess and not a queen! (Saiiko from all -I love Queen Melody's design, but the story lacks appeal from my point of view-).
But there are still some headcanon queens I really like! ;^;
Anyways, Thank you for your lovely comments <3

I like Rosamunde a lot! She has a well planned backstory, her design is simple but unique and looks cute in your style Rosamunde is also similar to Rosalina, could there be another link? But still, this is great drawing and great character.

Hi! Sorry for the late comment, but I had to study a lot for today! Luckily from now I'm more free! ;^;
Anyway thank you for your comment, I'm glad you liked Rosamunde and her story (even if it's not complete) I was attonished by it :3
And yes, maybe there may be another link between Rosamunde and Rosalina's names, even if it was more of a coincidence! :"D

I like her design! The backstory is also pretty interesting. It's nice to see others designs for the canon characters' parents.
