The '''Shadow Sirens''' are three witches in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. They consist of [[Beldam]], [[Marilyn]], and [[Vivian]] (later replaced by [[Doopliss]]). They aid [[Grodus|Sir Grodus]] and the [[X-Nauts (organization)|X-Nauts]] in their quest for [[Crystal Stars]] and retrieve the [[Magical Map]] from [[Mario]] and his friends. After Vivian joined Mario's team, Doopliss took her place.

Beldam, the leader of the Shadow Sirens, is often forgetful, and on more than one occasion, her forgetfulness gets Vivian in trouble. She is more of a magic user than the other two are. Marilyn is the biggest and strongest Shadow Siren in the bunch. Other than one line, "The Three", she is unable to say more than "Guh", and various forms of it. She can become stronger and hit hard. The Shadow Sirens are fought twice in the game. Beldam was the merchant from the intro of the game, as when [[Sir Grodus]] is talking to the 3, he asks Beldam why she didn't kidnap [[Princess Peach]] when she had the chance. Also near the end, Beldam says to the [[Shadow Queen]] "I spread rumors of the treasure and found a pure-hearted maiden."

They were first sent by Grodus to ambush Mario, [[Goombella]], [[Koops]], and [[Punio]] in [[Boggly Woods]] during their quest for the [[Emerald Star]] in [[the Great Tree]] and retrieve the map from them, but Mario and co. weren't able to battle them because they were missing the picture of Mario; considering her forgetfulness and unpleasant personality, Beldam blamed Vivian for losing it. At the same time the sisters do find the sketch, Mario and friends learned that they stole [[Flurrie]]'s [[Necklace (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|necklace]] just as they arrived at [[Flurrie's House|her home]] to ask her for help in opening the secret entrance to the tree. Backtracking through the woods, Mario and friends fought them to get the necklace back. After the heroes return the necklace, Flurrie joins them on their quest.
The Shadow Sirens are first sent by Grodus to ambush Mario and take the Magical Map from him. Mario and company first encounter them in [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 2: The Great Boggly Tree|Chapter 2]] in the [[Boggly Woods]], where they are trying to find a sketch of Mario given to them by the X-Nauts so that they could identify and attack him. However, because they lost the sketch, they are unable to recognize Mario as their enemy, and Beldam simply dismisses him and his partners as they approach. After finding the sketch and realizing their mistake, Beldam blames Vivian for losing the picture. Mario and his partners return to the Shadow Sirens to retrieve [[Flurrie]]'s [[Necklace (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|necklace]] which Vivian picked up after Flurrie dropped it in the woods. When they meet again, the Shadow Sirens introduce themselves, but Vivian calls the trio the "Shadow Beauties", making Beldam yell at her again. A mini-boss battle then occurs, but Mario and his partner defeat the witches, and they flee, with Vivian also dropping the necklace. They later return to Sir Grodus to inform him they lost to Mario, but they have another weapon to use on him, so he trusts them.


While Mario, Goombella, Koops, Flurrie, and the [[Yoshi (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Yoshi]] were searching for the [[Ruby Star]] in [[Creepy Steeple]], they planned to use an explosive item called a [[Superbombomb]] against them. Beldam, as usual, blamed Vivian for losing the explosive. Mario, after [[Doopliss]] stole his appearance and teammates, returned to [[Twilight Town]] to find a way to defeat him and found the item for Vivian, at which point she joined his team, not knowing the person who helped her was Mario. When Mario and Vivian confronted Doopliss back at the steeple after they [[The letter "p"|guessed his]] [[Parrot (character)|name correctly]], Vivian did a lot of thinking during the battle and decided to be part of Mario's team for good, since he was a lot more kinder to her than her sisters were. The two finally defeated Doopliss and won the Ruby Star and Mario got his body back at which point he explained to his rescued teammates Vivian had now changed. Henceforth, the humiliated Doopliss took Vivian's place in their nefarious group after Beldam and Marilyn spotted him back in Twilight Town while looking for her.
In [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 4: For Pigs the Bell Tolls|Chapter 4]], the Shadow Sirens plan to attack Mario and company in [[Twilight Town]] using an explosive item called the [[Superbombomb]]. Unfortunately for them, the group loses the explosive and Beldam blames Vivian for losing it and forces her to look for it. After Mario has his identity stolen by Doopliss, he encounters a distraught Vivian, who fruitlessly searches for the Superbombomb. Mario finds it for Vivian and after she learns of his current situation, she decides to help him in return, not knowing who he really is. When Mario and Vivian confront Doopliss back at the steeple after guessing his name correctly, Vivian initially feels betrayed after learning that she has teamed up with her enemy, and leaves the battle. However, after realizing that Mario had been much nicer to her than either of her sisters, she rejoins the battle and decides to be part of Mario's team from then on. The two defeat Doopliss, gaining the [[Ruby Star]] and winning back Mario's identity. At this point, Mario explains to his teammates that Vivian has switched to their side. Afterward, Doopliss takes Vivian's place as part of the Shadow Sirens after Beldam and Marilyn spot him back in Twilight Town while waiting for Vivian.


After Mario, Goombella, Koops, Flurrie, the Yoshi, Vivian, [[Admiral Bobbery]], and possibly [[Ms. Mowz]] cleared Chapter 5, Beldam, Marilyn, and Doopliss were sent to find the [[Garnet Star]] in [[Poshley Heights]]. No matter the costs, Beldam, Marilyn, and Doopliss had to prevent Mario and his friends from reaching the Star during a three-day train trip aboard the [[Excess Express]]. They first stole a [[Businessman]]'s [[briefcase]], [[Toodles]]' [[Gold Ring (item)|Gold Ring]], and the waitress' [[Shell Earrings]], and planned to mix them together to bomb the train with Nitro Honey Syrup, thus resulting in a sticky, yummy, gooey mess. Beldam and Marilyn even had Doopliss disguise himself as [[Zip Toad]], a pop star, so that way nobody will suspect they committed the crime, and frame the pop star for said crime. Before putting their evil plans into fruition, Mario and his friends, with [[Pennington]]'s help, managed to crack the case in time and return the briefcase, the shell earrings and the gold ring to their rightful owners. At the end of the chapter, the real Zip Toad would commend Mario and his team for stopping them. Since their Nitro Honey Syrup bomb idea failed, they used an alternative-- they ordered [[Smorg]]s to raise the drawbridge at the [[Riverside Station]] to stop the train from going far, but Mario and his friends managed to fend off the Smorgs and lower the drawbridge. During Day three of the train voyage, the Smorgs stowed away onto the train, attacked it, and took passengers hostage. Mario and his friends defeated the monster on the roof of the train and made it safely to Poshley Heights. When Mario and his friends reach the [[Poshley Sanctum]], they discover they are too late. It would seem Beldam, Marilyn and Doopliss beat them to the star, but they eventually discovered the Garnet Star they grabbed was a red herring-- a fake created by Pennington-- at which point Mario and his team found the real one hidden in the painting.
When Mario and his partners board the [[Excess Express]] in [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 6: 3 Days of Excess|Chapter 6]], Mario's partner notices a note on the floor in their room. After reading it, they wonder if Beldam is the one behind the threat of a "sticky, yummy doom". On the morning of the second day, the Ratooey [[Businessman]]'s [[briefcase]] containing the prototype of [[List of implied items#Nitro Honey Syrup|Nitro Honey Syrup]] is stolen along with [[Toodles]]' [[Gold Ring (item)|Gold Ring]] and [[Excess Express waitress|the waitress]]' [[Shell Earrings]]. The culprit is revealed to be [[Zip Toad]] who is actually Doopliss in disguise. When the train arrives at [[Riverside Station]], Doopliss returns to his regular form and flees. When Mario and his partners reach the sanctum in Poshley Heights, they discover that they are too late, as Beldam, Marilyn and Doopliss have beaten them to the [[Garnet Star]]. However, [[Pennington]] tells Mario that the Crystal Star is a fake after they leave.


While Mario and his friends were venturing through the [[Palace of Shadow]], upon opening the secret path to the Shadow Queen's lair, the Shadow Sirens ambushed them again and fought them one last time. After Mario and company defeated them, they continued on to stop Grodus from awakening the Shadow Queen. After Grodus awakened the evil queen from her eternal rest, getting destroyed in the process, Beldam took full credit for the awakening of the queen. In fact, it turns out the Shadow Sirens tricked Grodus into awakening the Shadow Queen. Mario and his team eventually defeated the evil queen for good. At the very end of Mario's adventure, Beldam and Marilyn tell Vivian they'll never be mean to her again.
While Mario and his friends venture through the [[Palace of Shadow]] in [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 8: The Thousand-Year Door|Chapter 8]], upon opening the secret path to the [[Shadow Queen]]'s lair, the Shadow Sirens ambush them again and fight them one last time. After Mario and company defeats them, they lay on the ground dazed. After Grodus awakens the Shadow Queen from her eternal rest and gets destroyed by her, Beldam takes full credit for awakening the queen. She reveals that she has been orchestrating the Shadow Queen's revival from the very start, and the Shadow Sirens had tricked Grodus into thinking he could control the queen. In Goombella's letter to Mario after defeating the Shadow Queen, she mentions that Vivian has reunited with her sisters and Beldam has stopped being evil and promises to be nicer to Vivian.

The Shadow Sirens are purple ghosts with a wisp-like tail that appears to have infinite length in place of legs. Although their tails are connected to the ground, it is shown that they can be disconnected from the ground in their defeated animations. Being sisters, the Shadow Sirens have similar designs, with the main difference being their body types: Beldam is short and thin, Marylin is large and portly, while Vivian is medium-height and has a pudgy belly. Beldam also has a long, pointy nose, which the other two do not have, and has a toothy grin in place of her sisters' small mouths.

History

Paper Mario series

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

The Shadow Sirens are first sent by Grodus to ambush Mario and take the Magical Map from him. Mario and company first encounter them in Chapter 2 in the Boggly Woods, where they are trying to find a sketch of Mario given to them by the X-Nauts so that they could identify and attack him. However, because they lost the sketch, they are unable to recognize Mario as their enemy, and Beldam simply dismisses him and his partners as they approach. After finding the sketch and realizing their mistake, Beldam blames Vivian for losing the picture. Mario and his partners return to the Shadow Sirens to retrieve Flurrie's necklace which Vivian picked up after Flurrie dropped it in the woods. When they meet again, the Shadow Sirens introduce themselves, but Vivian calls the trio the "Shadow Beauties", making Beldam yell at her again. A mini-boss battle then occurs, but Mario and his partner defeat the witches, and they flee, with Vivian also dropping the necklace. They later return to Sir Grodus to inform him they lost to Mario, but they have another weapon to use on him, so he trusts them.

In Chapter 4, the Shadow Sirens plan to attack Mario and company in Twilight Town using an explosive item called the Superbombomb. Unfortunately for them, the group loses the explosive and Beldam blames Vivian for losing it and forces her to look for it. After Mario has his identity stolen by Doopliss, he encounters a distraught Vivian, who fruitlessly searches for the Superbombomb. Mario finds it for Vivian and after she learns of his current situation, she decides to help him in return, not knowing who he really is. When Mario and Vivian confront Doopliss back at the steeple after guessing his name correctly, Vivian initially feels betrayed after learning that she has teamed up with her enemy, and leaves the battle. However, after realizing that Mario had been much nicer to her than either of her sisters, she rejoins the battle and decides to be part of Mario's team from then on.

Afterward, Doopliss takes Vivian's place as part of the Shadow Sirens after Beldam and Marilyn spot him back in Twilight Town while waiting for Vivian.

When Mario and his partners board the Excess Express in Chapter 6, Mario's partner notices a note on the floor in their room. After reading it, they wonder if Beldam is the one behind the threat of a "sticky, yummy doom". On the morning of the second day, the Ratooey Businessman's briefcase containing the prototype of Nitro Honey Syrup is stolen along with Toodles' Gold Ring and the waitress' Shell Earrings. The culprit is revealed to be Zip Toad who is actually Doopliss in disguise. When the train arrives at Riverside Station, Doopliss returns to his regular form and flees. When Mario and his partners reach the sanctum in Poshley Heights, they discover that they are too late, as Beldam, Marilyn and Doopliss have beaten them to the Garnet Star. However, Pennington tells Mario that the Crystal Star is a fake after they leave.

While Mario and his friends venture through the Palace of Shadow in Chapter 8, upon opening the secret path to the Shadow Queen's lair, the Shadow Sirens ambush them again and fight them one last time. After Mario and company defeats them, they lay on the ground dazed.
