Marilyn

"Guh! Guhhhhh?"

- Marilyn

Marilyn is one of the three Shadow Sirens and the middle sister of the older Beldam and the younger Vivian (which was later on replaced with Doopliss). She and her sisters worked alonside the Secret Society of X-Nauts to find the seven Crystal Stars and open the Thousand-Year Door. Marilyn and her teammates appeared several times throughout Mario's adventure in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, making numerous attempts to show him and his partners down and hinder their progress.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Many years prior to the events that took place in the game, Marilyn and her sisters were servants of the Shadow Queen, an evil demon that once threw the world into the depths of terror and sank the entire town of Rogueport underground. After she had gotten defeated and sealed by the four heroes, the Shadow Sirens started devising a plan to gather the Crystal Stars and break the seal on the Thousand-Year Door, so that they could serve their queen once more.

Personality
Marilyn, unlike her teammates, happens to be very quiet, and is never or rarely ever seen talking. The only words she has ever spoken throughout the entire course of the game were, "The Three..." while she and her sisters were introducing themselves to Mario and company. Otherwise, she'll usually make "Guh" sounds, and other variations of it. Despite the fact that she usually does not talk in plain, understandable English, Beldam usually understands what she's saying, or at least trying to say anyway.

Although she has a very dark, mysterious personality, Marilyn has still been shown to be very loyal to her sister, as she will usually follow whatever orders are given to her, without question. It was also revealed that Marilyn happened to be the "favorite" of the group, as Beldam would treat every other member of the Shadow Sirens with as little respect as possible.

Trivia
