'''Miss Petunia, the Bathing Beauty''' (Japanese: ミス・ブーニャ ''Miss Būnya''), is a portrait ghost of unknown age from ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. She was the "Miss Ghost" runner-up from six years before the appearance of [[Luigi's Mansion (place)|Luigi's Mansion]] in [[Boo Woods]]. Apparently, she hasn't done much modeling work since and has gained a lot of weight. In fact, besides being overweight, she also has pig-like features, including a pig snout, hooves for hands, and a pink hue. Wearing her showering cap and bathing suit, Miss Petunia spent her time in Luigi's Mansion taking showers in the [[Bathroom (2F)|Bathroom]] on the second floor. Ultimately, she was captured by the heroic [[Luigi]] during the search for his brother [[Mario]].
'''Miss Petunia, the Bathing Beauty''', is a [[portrait ghost]] of unknown age from ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|its Nintendo 3DS remake]]. She wears a multicolored bathing suit with a matching shower cap. Miss Petunia has pig hooves for hands, a matching pink nose, a sideways oval shaped head with a very distinct chin, hot pink skin, and small yellow eyes with long black lashes. In her [[Game Boy Horror]] profile, Miss Petunia is said to have been the "Miss Ghost" runner-up six years before the game's events, but has had little modeling work lately.
 
Miss Petunia can be found in the [[Bathroom (2F)|Bathroom]] on the second floor of the [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|mansion]]. She is hiding in the shower, behind shower curtains. When the curtain is closed, Miss Petunia's silhouette is a thin, svelte figure washing her hair, until the curtain is moved, revealing her actual figure. If [[Luigi]] pulls back the curtain with the [[Poltergust 3000]], Petunia attacks by shooting a blast of hot water at Luigi, delivering ten [[Heart Point|HP]] of damage if it hits him. When Luigi gives her a blast of ice using the [[element medal|Ice Element Medal]], it causes Miss Petunia to sneeze, making her vulnerable to being vacuumed into the Poltergust 3000. In fact, [[Nana]]'s diary reveals that Nana once played a practical joke on Miss Petunia by filling her bathtub with ice, leaving Miss Petunia in for a surprise; this is meant to be a clue on how to capture Miss Petunia. After capturing Miss Petunia, Luigi acquires the [[key]] needed to open the door to the [[Billiards Room]]. Later on, in the [[Gallery (Luigi's Mansion)|Gallery]], Miss Petunia's portrait number is 6.


When Luigi first entered the Bathroom on the second floor, he noticed the voluptuous silhouette of a woman behind the shower curtain. Luigi, being the curious fellow that he is, decided to pull back the curtain with the [[Poltergust 3000]] to get a better look. To his dismay, the figure was not a stunning woman but the obese Miss Petunia. Angered that Luigi opened her curtain, Petunia  shot a blast of scalding hot water at the peeping tom, delivering ten HP of damage. She then went back to her shower. Luigi decided to give her a blast of ice, provided from his newly acquired [[Elemental Medal|Ice Elemental Medal]]. The ice caused Miss Petunia to sneeze, making her vulnerable, and Luigi sucked the ghost in with the Poltergust. Although she strongly tugged in an attempt to escape, Luigi eventually won the battle and captured Miss Petunia. After capturing the porcine portrait ghost, Luigi acquired the key needed to open the door to the [[Billiards Room]].
In the [[List of Luigi's Mansion pre-release and unused content|E3 2001 prototype]], while Miss Petunia's silhouette is visible on the shower curtains of the Bathroom, Miss Petunia does not appear herself, so the silhouette merely contributes to the eerie ambience.

*According to [[Nana]]'s diary, the grandmother ghost once played a practical joke on Miss Petunia by filling her bathtub with ice while the former "Miss Ghost" runner-up was away. When Miss Petunia returned to her bath, she was in for quite a shock. This diary entry gave Luigi a clue on how to capture Petunia during the events of ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''.

*In an E3 2001 beta presentation of Luigi's Mansion, Luigi enters the bathroom in which Miss Petunia is ordinarily bathing in. While her silhouette is visible, when Luigi opens the curtain no one is there. This could be purely to add a bit of eeriness to the game, or possibly Miss Petunia needed to be exposed by other means. Strangely enough, before Luigi enters Miss Petunia's bathroom, he exits the dining room from a door on the opposite wall from what appears to be the door to the "Sealed Room". The Dining Room, in the final version, is on the first floor rather than the second. A video clip containing this content can be found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNc5WVyejD8 here].

Miss Petunia, the Bathing Beauty, is a portrait ghost of unknown age from Luigi's Mansion and its Nintendo 3DS remake. She wears a multicolored bathing suit with a matching shower cap. Miss Petunia has pig hooves for hands, a matching pink nose, a sideways oval shaped head with a very distinct chin, hot pink skin, and small yellow eyes with long black lashes. In her Game Boy Horror profile, Miss Petunia is said to have been the "Miss Ghost" runner-up six years before the game's events, but has had little modeling work lately.

Miss Petunia can be found in the Bathroom on the second floor of the mansion. She is hiding in the shower, behind shower curtains. When the curtain is closed, Miss Petunia's silhouette is a thin, svelte figure washing her hair, until the curtain is moved, revealing her actual figure. If Luigi pulls back the curtain with the Poltergust 3000, Petunia attacks by shooting a blast of hot water at Luigi, delivering ten HP of damage if it hits him. When Luigi gives her a blast of ice using the Ice Element Medal, it causes Miss Petunia to sneeze, making her vulnerable to being vacuumed into the Poltergust 3000. In fact, Nana's diary reveals that Nana once played a practical joke on Miss Petunia by filling her bathtub with ice, leaving Miss Petunia in for a surprise; this is meant to be a clue on how to capture Miss Petunia. After capturing Miss Petunia, Luigi acquires the key needed to open the door to the Billiards Room. Later on, in the Gallery, Miss Petunia's portrait number is 6.

In the E3 2001 prototype, while Miss Petunia's silhouette is visible on the shower curtains of the Bathroom, Miss Petunia does not appear herself, so the silhouette merely contributes to the eerie ambience.
