Pop Diva
Chanterelle (also known as Pop Diva) is a beautiful Toad singer who performs in the port of Toad Town at Club 64. During the events of Paper Mario, she became depressed after the kidnapping of Princess Peach, rendering her unable to sing. Mario had to bring Chanterelle music by having an item called Lyrics, written by Master Poet and have it to compose the item by Toad of the Desert as it changes into the item, the Melody; as the item helps Chanterelle reawaken her natural vocal ability, rewarding Mario with an Attack FX D Badge. After that, Mario can ask her to sing the song again if he wishes to. She later appeared with her two Toad instrumentalists, conducted by the Master Poet, in the game's credits.
She is named after the chanterelle, a species of edible mushroom. Chanter is also French for "to sing".
