Marilyn

“Guh! Guhhhhh?”

—Marilyn, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Marilyn is one of the three Shadow Sirens and the middle sister of the older Beldam and the younger Vivian. If Beldam is the brains, Marilyn is definitely the brawn. She's is the strongest of the Shadow Sirens and is able to cast lightning magic against her enemies. She is described by Goombella as being the "strong, silent type". In fact, the only thing she seems to say is "Guh". However, she does say "The Three..." when the Shadow Sirens first meet Mario and company. Despite the usual grunting, her sisters can still understand what she is saying (or, at least, what she is trying to say).

After the Shadow Queen is defeated, Beldam and Marilyn give up on evil (as their Queen has been destroyed once and for all) and make amends with their sister Vivian.

Trivia

• Marilyn is the second character in the Mario series (with Mario being the first) to be described as the "strong, silent type".
• The color of her hat represents the power she has over the thunder element.
• Although she didn't physically appear in Super Paper Mario, she and Beldam were still mentioned in Vivian's Catch Card.
