Koopa Colonel

I was doodling when I began to wonder (thanks to Pyro-Sith's dubbing the Pipeland Paratroopa "Commander Kleo." I noted that she was given her wings in the form of a P-Wing. This got me thinking...

As some Paratroopas were magically given their wings, that would mean that the P-Wing could be some sort of badge. And then there was the fact that while the Koopa Troopas were the equivalent of Privates, what would that make a Paratroopa almost at the end of a level?

Also, they need some headgear....

Thus, Colonel Koopa was born. She (hey, not all Koopas are male... There's bound to be female officers in the Koopa Troop) is stationed in 1-1 Castle, and Mario probably caught her asleep or something when he swapped the flags.

Note that the attempt at a skull on her helmet is a reference to the emblem on the End-of-Level Flags.

Forgot to mention that her shell is black and gray because its metal, like the Koopatrols.

Oh, and the BG is a slightly altered version of the end of 1-1 in SMB1.
