Vivian
Vivian, the youngest of the Shadow Sirens, begins the game as Mario's opponent, but decides to join him later on, since Mario was the only person who was ever nice to her. Since she's always picked on by her sister Beldam, Vivian's confidence is low, but she remains very polite. By pressing Y, she will grab Mario and pull him into the shadows for some lovin'. By hiding in the shadows, you can eavesdrop on certain conversations and get past moving objects, as well as avoid enemies.
Incidentally, Vivian was male in the original Japanese version of the game (and some European versions, such as the Spanish version), despite looking (and presumably acting) exactly the same. I think I just dropped my 100 pound libido onto my own toes...

| Vivian's Advantages |
|---|
| Vivian can cause burning status easily with Shade Fist or Fiery Jinx. |
| Shade Fist can attack enemies in the air or the back row. |
| Veil is almost essential for avoiding super-powerful charged attacks. |
| Fiery Jinx is powerful, causes burning status, attacks all enemies, and pierces defense. |
| Infatuate is useful for confusing all enemies. |
| Vivian's Disadvantages |
| Vivian is basically useless against enemies composed of fire, and not as effective against those immune to fire. |
| Vivian cannot Shade Fist enemies with spikes in front of them. |
| When Veil is used, she and Mario don't get to attack until the round AFTER they pop back up. |
