'''Merluvlee''' is a character in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series. She always appears in the role of a fortune teller, although the exact nature of her clues varies from game to game. According to [[Wonky]], Merluvlee comes from a tribe that names people based on their profession, implying that every Merluvlee met may be a separate individual. It is possible that the aforementioned tribe is actually the [[Tribe of Ancients]]; Merluvlee expressly stated herself to be a descendant in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. | '''Merluvlee''' is a female character in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series.

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'' | In ''[[Paper Mario]],'' Merluvlee lives in a house on [[Shooting Star Summit]], with her brother [[Merlow]]. Throughout the game, many characters comment that she is the most beautiful woman they have ever seen. Somewhat comically, the player is never allowed to see her face, because she always wears a hood. She is also notable for being the owner of the companion to the mysterious chest in Peach's castle. According to a gossip-loving Toad near [[Tayce T.]]'s house in [[Toad Town]], one of Merluvlee's hobbies is cultivating bonsai trees. | ||
For one of [[Koopa Koot]]'s favors, Mario is requested to retrieve Merluvlee's autograph.
