Profile[]
Physical description[]
Kersti is a silver, floating crown sticker with three edges at the top. She has two eyes, her eyes are long oval shapes and entirely royal-blue. Her eyes both have a long, royal-blue eyelash, to her left. Kersti has a gold streak at the bottom, and a shiny blue gem. She is very small with golden sparkles around her.
Personality[]
Kersti is very feisty and aggressive and often asks Mario to act quickly. She also has shown a personal hatred for Kamek and Bowser. Kersti is also shown to be very knowledgeable as she gives Mario information about the area he's in (when talked to) as well as giving him various hints. She is also very refined and feminine, frequently stating how "lady-like" she is, however she is frequently sassy.
Powers and abilities[]
Kersti, like Goombario, Goombella, and Tippi, has the ability to Tattle areas to give Mario helpful hints in order to do so. She also has a very unique ability call Paperize where she can turn regular stickers into otherworld items that can be used to clear certain puzzles. She also has an ability used in battle called the Battle Spinner where she can heal Mario and restore its Stickers.
Etymology[]
"Kersti" is an anagram of "sticker", just without a 'c' .
In Paper Mario: Sticker Star[]
Kersti is first seen after Mario pulls her off a sign in Decalburg. She first thinks that Mario was the one who touched the Sticker Comet, and yells at him for about how bad touching the Sticker Comet is. Mario soon tells her that Bowser was the one who actually took the Sticker Comet. Then she explains to him that he must gather the six Royal Stickers in order to restore the Sticker Comet. Mario agrees to do so and they both embark on a quest. At the battle near the end of the game, Bowser fakes his defeat, as he was still wearing the Royal Sticker, coming back from the ground larger than before. Knowing Mario isn’t powerful enough to do enough damage, Kersti gives a speech to Mario about their adventure, and tells to use her power to defeat Bowser (and not to sell her). Then she turns herself into a sticker item in order to help Mario gain the upper hand. This costs her her life initially, but after Mario wishes on the Sticker Comet she gets brought back to life.Attention Mario Wiki users!: This section is short or lacks sufficient information.

Trivia[]
- Even though Kersti resembles a Pixl, she is classified as a "sticker fairy."
- Kersti is Mario's only partner in Paper Mario: Sticker Star.
- In both areas where you lose Kersti, you can't save or return to the world map. This was probably made so you can't go to other places without Kersti.
- Kersti resembles Rosalina's Crown in a way due to the fact that both are Silver and have turquoise Gems on both sides.
- Kersti's personality is similar to Starlow's.
- With powerful stickers like the Infinijump, Clone Jump, Super Boot, and the Iron Jump it is possible to defeat Bowser without using Kersti at all, she will still be in the Album after battle and can be tossed just like any normal Sticker but however it is unknown how she would be used otherwise as the completion of the final battle isn't saved after the Credits and you cannot run from the battle either.
- She says "y'know" a lot similar to Goombella.
- She technically acts a lot like Luma, as both give Mario special abilities.
