Template:Character-infobox Vanna T. is Chuck Quizmo's assistant in the game Paper Mario. She is a Toad who has hearts on her cap instead of round spots and blonde hair. During Chuck Quizmo's quiz shows, she can be seen standing next to Chuck Quizmo, in the right of the screen. Whenever Mario answers one of Chuck's quiz questions correctly, she claps her hands.
After Mario answers the first quiz question correctly, Vanna sends Mario a letter. In the letter, she writes to Mario this:
Hello Mario.
I'm Vanna T., Chuck Quizmo's lovely assistant.Thanks for participating in our quiz show.
Our ratings are through the roof!

Trivia
- Vanna T.'s name is a pun on the philosophical term "vanity". It is also a reference to Vanna White, the assistant to Pat Sajak on the real-world game show, Wheel of Fortune.
- Due to Vanna T. and Toadette sharing the same Japanese name, there is a mistranslation in the German version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, where Toadette is incorrectly called "T. Tanja" just like Vanna T.
