'''Merlee''' is a character in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]]. She is a fortune teller who speaks exclusively in rhyme in every appearance, and, for a price, she will perform a spell with her various magical devices that will randomly increase [[Mario]]'s attack or defense, number of [[Star Point]]s earned, or number of [[coin]]s dropped when he wins a battle. | '''Merlee''' is a character in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]].

In the game ''[[Paper Mario]]'', she is depicted as [[Merluvlee]]'s twin sister and therefore also a sibling of [[Merlow]] (the latter being confirmed when Merlow receives a letter from [[Merle|their father]]). She resides in a hidden alley in [[Dry Dry Outpost]] and uses cards to power Mario up. Merlee offers three payment plans, and the length of time for which Merlee's spells last is dependent upon which plan Mario picks (e.g. the most expensive plan lasts the longest). Merlee's spells take effect randomly during or after battles, and the effects they bestow upon Mario are also random. When activated, a spell will either increase the amount of coins Mario receives after a battle, double his [[Star Point]]s, or increase his attack/defense power by 3. Each of these effects lasts only as long as a given battle. After a period of time, Merlee's spells wear off, forcing Mario to pay Merlee if he wants their effects again. | In the game ''[[Paper Mario]]'', she is depicted as [[Merluvlee]]'s twin sister and therefore also a sibling of [[Merlow]] (the latter being confirmed when Merlow receives a letter from [[Merle|their father]]).

Merlee returns in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. In this game, she lives in a mansion at [[Gloam Valley]]. She later moves to [[Flopside]] in a building adjacent to Merluvlee's house in [[Flipside]] to help Mario and his party, where her theme song, "The Road for the Lost" (which is also Merluvlee's theme), can be heard. In this game, Merlee appears rather angular and strange unlike in previous installments, taking on the appearance of other female members of [[Merlon]]'s clan. According to the [[InterNed]] her theme heard when Mario and Peach talk to her in her mansion via magical projection is titled "Look out for me". | Merlee returns in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.

[[Merlee's Mansion]] is a major level in Chapter | [[Merlee's Mansion]] is a major level in Chapter 2. [[Mimi]] also makes an appearance here, initially posing as Merlee's maid in her standard form, then eventually Merlee herself – in three separate occasions, in fact. The first is when she attempts to trick Mario into thinking he finally found Merlee, but an apparition of the real Merlee appears, exposing her as a fake. She impersonates Merlee again once the real Merlee is found hiding in a washroom stall, causing a confusion that is only settled with the [["That's My Merlee!" show]] hosted by [[The InterNed]] (although the real Merlee had a fly buzzing around her head due to hiding in the toilet, providing an easier way to tell her apart from Mimi). During the subsequent battle with Mimi, Merlee cheers from outside the bathroom, healing Mario and his party. After Mimi is defeated, Merlee gives Mario and his party the third [[Pure Heart]]. Much later in the game, Mimi disguises herself as Merlee once more in [[Castle Bleck]], asking Mario and friends what [[enemies|monsters]] they fear the most. | ||
In this game, Merlee is Merluvlee's rival, and has been ever since they were classmates. After Chapter 3, Merlee works as a fortune teller in [[Flopside]]. She begins a trading sequence by requesting that Mario bring her a [[Crystal Ball]] from Merluvlee. Merlee also apparently once helped Merluvlee greatly sometime before the events of ''Super Paper Mario'', as Merluvlee tells Mario and friends to tell Merlee "Now we're even" as they give her the Crystal Ball. In the end, Merlee gives Mario and co. a [[key]] that unlocks the building holding [[Piccolo]]. | In this game, Merlee is Merluvlee's rival, and has been ever since they were classmates.
