History Characters / PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor

* AdvertisedExtra: Similar to Hooktail, he's prominently featured on the Gamecube western box art but is only the ArcVillain of Chapter 5. At least he makes relatively more appearances and even takes up the permanent role of being the ferryman between Rogueport and Keelhaul Key.

* BadBoss: Though she generally averts this trope, imprisoning her pet dragon, Bonetail, in the Pit of 100 Trials wasn't exactly the nicest move.

* AmbiguouslyBi: She's implied to have a crush of Mario, but she also loses her train of thought when talking about Vivian's cute looks during her Tattle description.

** A downplayed example. She's already a {{Jerkass}} in English and German, but other translations take it a step up by changing the insults of her calling Vivian ugly becoming full on transphobic insults instead due to [[TransTribulations Vivian being a trans female in most translations]].

* LaserGuidedKarma: The sister she spent all her life abusing ends up helping Mario unravel her plan to unleash the Shadow Queen upon the world, doubly so if the player decides to make Vivian their primary partner, which not only gives her a direct involvement in stopping the Shadow Queen but gives her the opportunity to thrash Bedlam during the Shadow Sirens' rematch.

* AdvertisedExtra: Featured prominently on the western box art of the Gamecube version but is not much more than the ArcVillain of the very first chapter, in which she only appears twice before exiting the plot entirely after her defeat.

* WeaksauceWeakness: Frog sounds, of all things. Apparently, she ate a frog once and got food poisoning from it. In the original Gamecube English translation, it's crickets.

* ShoutOut: To HAL from ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''. It's more obvious in the Gamecube iteration's Japanese version and the remake, where his lens color is red instead of blue.

* FemaleMonsterSurprise: Didn't see that coming, huh? You don't actually find this out in-game until you meet her brother in Chapter 8. It's more apparent in the Japanese version, as she uses the archaic feminine pronoun "warawa". In the Switch remake, it's averted, as she's revealed as a female rom the start.

* AdaptationalJerkass: A downplayed example. She's already a {{Jerkass}} in English and German, but other translations take it a step up by changing the insults of her calling Vivian ugly becoming full on transphobic insults instead due to [[TransTribulations Vivian being a trans female in most translations]].

* BossAlteringConsequence: If you equip the Attack FX R badge before fighting her, the cricket noise that it makes will lower her attack and defense.

* FemaleMonsterSurprise: Didn't see that coming, huh? You don't actually find this out in-game until you meet her brother in Chapter 8. It's more apparent in the Japanese version, as she uses the archaic feminine pronoun "warawa".

* HateSink: She is a jerk who berates her sister Vivian for every little thing she does, including things that not her fault, leading to Vivian [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal betraying her]] by joining Mario and his team after she realizes that [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe Mario treats her much better than Beldam does]]. Not only that, but [[spoiler:Beldam is the true mastermind behind everything, as she told Grodus that whoever frees the Shadow Queen from her imprisonment will rule the world thanks to her power. [[EvilIsNotAToy It can't be further from the truth]], as the only thing the Shadow Queen wants is to bring despair upon the world, and Beldam is completely okay with it.]]

* WeaksauceWeakness: Cricket sounds, of all things. Apparently, she ate a cricket once and got food poisoning from it. In the Japanese version and the localization of the Switch remake, it's frog sounds.

* UnwantedHarem: All of the female party members, of which they make up over half of the party, are shown to have a crush on Mario, and they've each kissed him at least once. Mario, on the other hand, isn't shown to be reciprocative of their feelings, with him outright denying Flurrie's advances on him.

* ConditionedToBeWeak: Heavily implied as, even though she is the weakest of the Shadow Sirens when first faced in game, she can be as strong as Beldam if she's fully upgraded, hinting that Beldam's treatment of her was an attempt at keeping her week and complacent.
