Mimi

"Until you work off your debt, you naughty little things, I OWN YOU!"

- Mimi

Mimi is a villain in the Wii game Super Paper Mario. She is one of Count Bleck's main lackeys, and has the appearance of an innocent young girl, though she has a violent and cruel temper. She possesses the ability to shape-shift, often taking the guises of Merlee and other characters. Her true identity, however, is shrouded in mystery (although she states her true form to be her arachnid transformation). Some say she's a failed Pixl, possibly even the first Pixl created, which had revolted against the Tribe of Ancients. Others say she's the unintended creation of a witch who was researching potions that would allow shape shifting. If Mario flips to 3-D while Mimi is "True Mimi", one could see gears inside of her, possibly meaning that she is a robot.

Taking the guise of a maid for Merlee, she orders Mario to work off a debt of one million Rubees after he breaks a vase. Mario discovers a secret stash of Rubees, allowing him to pay off the debt and causing Mimi to flee. During her search for the Pure Heart in Merlee's Mansion, Mimi enslaved many guests and stuffed Merlee into a toilet in the Women's Restroom. She also trapped Gnaw.

She is the boss of Chapter 2, where she morphs into a giant spider-like creature. The transformation seems to make this game darker than other Paper Mario titles. She also appears as a mini-boss in the sixth and eighth chapters. Mimi is fought again in Chapter 6. Posing as King Sammer, she tells Mario that the Pure Heart is in a chest on the 26th gate. When he isn't phased by the explosion that erupts there, she battles him to waste the rapidly declining time before Sammer's Kingdom is destroyed by The Void. Although she loses in the battle, she succeeds in her goal.

In Chapter 8, Peach battles Mimi solo. After her inevitable defeat, Mimi is saved by Peach and eventually comes to Count Bleck's aid after Dimentio takes over. She later gets a job working as Merlee's actual maid, and since Merlee rarely uses her mansion, she decided to use it as a stable for "cute guys."
