| ~ Madame Clairvoya |
Madame Clairvoya is one of Luigi's allies in Luigi's Mansion. Clairvoya is fortune-teller ghost that helps Luigi predicting events that happen through the game the more items of Mario she is given.
Luigi's Mansion
Madame Clairvoya resides in the Fortune-Teller's room, located in Area Two, although the room isn't cleared until Area Three. When Luigi enters in, he finds it dark with a crystal ball located at the center. When Luigi points his flashlight at the crystal ball, it increasingly shines until Madame Clairvoya materializes in the room.
When Luigi talks to Clairvoya, she presents herself as the "seer of dropped items". She suggests Luigi to bring her any item he can find so she can use her ability to reveal important events that led to Mario's whereabouts. Throughout the game, Luigi finds a total of five items dropped by Mario in the mansion; Mario's Hat, Mario's Glove, Mario's Shoe, Mario's Letter and Mario's star. When she is given Mario's Glove, she is surprised that Luigi actually referred to the Mario everyone knows and through her crystal bar, she contacts the spirits. Clairvoya reveals that Mario is indeed alive, but feels unsure about it.
When she is given Mario's Shoe, Clairvoya reveals that Mario is alive, but imprisoned in a painting located in an altar. After Luigi gives her Mario's Letter, Clairvoya reads it claiming herself as a "licensed letter-reader", revealing Mario wrote "Look out for Boos, Luigi!". She also reveals that she can hear Mario's voice trying to warn Luigi about King Boo, the one who captured Mario in the first place.
When she is given Mario's Star, Clairvoya reveals about "the power of the Boos" and how they can become stronger when they gather in numbers, but the Poltergust 3000 is enough to trap them. Clairvoya also mentions she only has the strength to see one last droppted item. When Luigi gives her Mario's Hat, she reveals that Bowser is somewhere in the mansion despite Mario having defeated him in the past and now King Boo is trying to revive him.
Clairvoya becomes afraid of Bowser and quickly loses her powers given her previous words. Despite this, she mentions she can go to her painting satisfied knowing she has given words to what the spirits have shown and asks joyfully to Luigi to finally vacuum her with the Poltergust 3000 so she can finally rest in peace, not without thanking him for everything. Clairvoya struggles lightly with the capture and only drops a poisoned mushroom like the others ghosts. Even when Luigi fails to capture her, she returns to her seat with her heart exposed for Luigi to vacuum it.

Personality
Unlike other portrait ghosts, Madame Clairvoya is defined as the only one to be an ally to Luigi, given how she doesn't see him as an enemy but someone who is looking desperately for his brother. She is always seen having problems misspelling some words that she then corrects. She also has shown to have some sense of humor such as making inoffensive jokes with Luigi.
