| abstract | - Merlimbis, who is described by Tippi as "gentle and loving", was one of the four sages among the Tribe of Ancients. She is thought to have created the Pure Hearts, and therefore the Purity Heart. She is never directly met, only viewed in a stained glass window in Mirror Hall. The strangely-drawn depiction of her seen in this window seems to suggest that, during her life, Merlimbis looked identical to Merluvlee the fortune teller. Indeed, both Tippi and Tiptron state that Merluvlee is a direct descendant of Merlimbis, as is the similar-looking Merlee. Merlight is revealed by Tippi to have been quite knowledgeable in the nature of worlds, and used this knowledge in the design of Flipside. He is distantly related to Merlon, who looks identical to him and apparently possesses a large amount of the books Merlight left behind. Interestingly, however, the angular positioning of his hood in the stained glass window of Mirror Hall he is seen in actually makes him appear somewhat similar to Merlon's appearance in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, though this may be a coincidence. According to Tippi, Merloo was very wise in his time and is even thought to be the author of the Light Prognosticus. He has the appearance of a mustache-less, green-robed character slightly resembling Merlon. Interestingly, unlike all other sages among the Ancients, Merloo possesses no current inhabitant of Flipside or Flopside who bears any direct resemblance to him, although some other "Shaman"-like characters of past Paper Mario games do slightly resemble Merloo. It is interesting to note that Merloo is said to be a powerful, dimension-controlling magician, which relates him to the villain Dimentio. Another character known to control the dimensions is Bestovius. Merlumina was a member of the Tribe of Ancients. 1,500 years before the setting of Super Paper Mario, she was told to protect the Pure Heart in Yold Ruins and await the hero of legend. 1,500 years later, her ghost still waited (albeit slightly impatiently) for the hero to arrive. She is the only member of the sages to be met by Mario and his friends in-game. She is credited with writing the Light Prognosticus by Merlon.
