PsychoIncarnate
The Eternal Will of the Swarm
Mallow is the Prince of Nimbus Land, but it's a title unknown to even himself. As a baby, he was kidnapped in a bid for power by the evil, and very voluptuous, Valentina and replaced him with Dodo. Dodo, of course, looked nothing like the King of Nimbus land but everyone was a little to nervous at the implication of telling him his son didn't resemble him so they went along with it. While Valentina took hold of Nimbus Land, the young Mallow was found by the wise Frogfucius in Tadpole Pond. Interestingly the pond contains both frogs and toads but in this context they have no relation. After meeting Mario and having to fight against Croco, an extremely frustrating battle to even get to let alone fight if you were young me, Frogfucius revealed that Mallow was indeed NOT a tadpole. To the utter shock and amazement of all around. It's during these events that Mallow begins to show signs of his true origin. His simple act of crying causes the heavens themselves to unleash a torrent of rain upon the earth.
Mallow is from the cloud kingdom of Nimbus Land, and as his prince has the power to control the weather itself!
Oh BTW Spoiler alert. Mallow himself doesn't actually figure this out until right before reentering Bowser's Castle for the final confrontation against the Smithy Gang. From the second he leaves the care of Frogfucius until the arrival in Nimbus Land Mallow's story kind of just stops as he just goes along to help everyone else with their problems. Even when arriving in Nimbus Land, Mallow kind of just naively blows it off as "Nah, this place doesn't look like it's related to our quest. Kind of funny their prince has the same name as me. Oh, and the statue of the prince kind of looks like me, and not like that bird. Funny coincidence".
While not having the kind of support that Geno has, Mallow is still a very beloved character from the game "Super Mario RPG: Legend of the 7 Stars". And he could make an excellent fighter in the Smash series with his unique ability to control the weather. Think of him like Storm from the X-Men series. If Storm had the physique of a Marshmallow, smelled like still pond water, and tried to avoid conflict in most situations unless it involves someone preventing him from getting his cricket pie!
Themes that are related to Mallow are a little harder to point out. But here are a few examples I could think of:
Mallow is kind of a cry Baby. He let's it all out. And the Earth trembles with his every sob. He cries so much it actually gets its own theme.
The theme to his Kingdom, Nimbus Land. Related to him through his family and home. Even if it's not a home he's familiar with
These is the theme of the Frog Pond, a home he's much more familiar with. The home of his adopted family.
Potential for a moveset
Mallow has the ability to control the weather. While now unique to his character the majority of his attacks involve using thunderbolts. However, unlike a lot of other magic users and users of electricity Mallow also has the ability to control the wind, rain, and even snow. He could have a wide variety of elemental attacks. He's also a secondary white mage with the ability to heal other characters - Although Peach serves as a much better character for this purpose.
Special
Neutral: I tried to come up with something different than just lightning Bolt, which would be obvious. An attack based on HP Rain, that instead of healing attacks with a rain cloud?
Side: Shocker - Powerful Lightning Bolt Attack
Down: Snowy - Freezes the area around him, encasing himself in a big snowman of doom!
Up: Instead of basing this on one of Mallow's specials, I thought of an idea of Mallow being able to ride on one of Lakitu's Clouds for a period of time. The Nimbus People do ride in cloud based vehicles.
Final Smash: Mallow unleashes his ultimate magic, the Star Rain! Stars rain from the heavens and a massive one comes down and crushes opponents. I don't think Meteor Showers are an actual weather though.
So why not help support this little guy? If Geno gets in, it'd be great to have the whole team come back together!
