Background

Beldam is one of the main antagonists of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and the leader of the three Shadow Sirens, which consists of herself and her sisters, Marilyn and Vivian (who is later replaced with Doopliss). She is more than 1,000 years old and is the oldest of the three sisters. She and the Shadow Sirens work with the X-Nauts to find the Crystal Stars and open The Thousand-Year Door. Beldam and her sisters are reoccurring enemies that appear many times throughout Mario's adventure in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, making numerous attempts to halt his progress. She and her Sirens always appear during even numbered chapters and are fought a total of two times. In the end, Beldam is revealed to have been the one who arranged for the events of the story, using even the X-Nauts as pawns in her scheme.

Resistance to Conceptual Manipulation/Paint Manipulation

Paint Manipulation which includes: Non-Standard Interaction (Abstract Interaction; Paint makes up everything, with characters in Mario can remove paint from anyone with any attack. Paint is all of life, and removal of it can cause a person or object to have no life within, having their concept of life be removed. Metaphysical interaction; Paint makes up the mind, as paint beings can directly speak to your mind by coloring your thoughts. Loss of paint can also remove your mind and memories. Paint makes up souls and ghosts. Removing it is the equivalent of destroying your soul. Paint makes up all emotions. Removing it would mean the removal of emotion. Spatial Interaction (3-D); Paint makes up all of space. Removing it makes space as if it was solid), Blood Manipulation (Paint makes up all of blood within someone, removing it is the same as removing their blood), Nullification (Power Nullification; Paint makes up the ability to use powers.
