Vivian (Japanese: ビビアン, Hepburn: Bibian) is a character appearing in the 2004 role-playing video game Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. She initially serves as an enemy to the player character Mario, later joining the player's party after he helps her. In the original Japanese version and some European translations, she is a transgender woman, while the script in initial English and German releases was altered to remove any mention of her transgender status; in the 2024 Nintendo Switch remake, her transgender status is restored.[1][2]
