Background

Vivian is a major character in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. She originally worked as a member of the villainous Shadow Sirens alongside her sisters, Beldam and Marilynq. Later, Vivian defects from the Shadow Sirens and joins Mario as his fifth party member.

Statistics

Name: Vivian

Origin: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Sex: Female (Despite arguments for Vivian being depicted as a cross-dresser exist, it's more likely that Beldam referred to Vivian as male as an insult due to official translations having text that supports this along with the sequel still referring to Vivian as female. Furthermore, the kanji for "otokonoko" cannot be found in her Catch Card description despite being claimed by others that it is. Thus, the English translation of the game will be the primary source for Vivian's sex)
