'''Goombella''' is an aspiring archaeologist, appearing in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. She was one of [[Professor Frankly]]'s students at [[U Goom]], and she is the first to join [[Mario]] to find the [[Crystal Star]]s after he saves her from [[Lord Crump]]. She attacks by [[Headbonk]]ing enemies, and can use [[Tattle]] ability to find out enemies' weaknesses. In the field, she can give Mario information about characters and places. She constantly travels around with Mario and the rest of his friends in the quest to get the Crystal Stars, being an important character, having learned the identity behind the map given to Mario. She could be considered as the brainy one of the group.
 
 
==Attacks==
 
===Tattle===
 
Goombella, like Goombario before her, is [[Mario]]'s main source of information throughout the game. Whenever a new enemy appears in battle, or in any battle, Mario can select Goombella's '''Tattle''' attack. Tattle shows Mario the attack strength, defense, HP, and a brief description of the enemies powers and abilities. The information is then recorded in the journal for future reference. Tattle can also be used outside of battle to describe the area, give hints on what to do, or give a description of a nearby character.
 
 
==Possible Etymology==
 
Goombella is a portmanteau of Goomba, her species, and Bella, an Italian name meaning "beautiful". This Italian connection also adds to the idea that Goomba comes from the Sicilian word ''gumba ''meaning "friend." This would make Goombella's name mean "beautiful friend."
