Her name is an abbreviation of "clairvoyance", referring to extra-sensory perception (ESP), including the ability to see into the future. Madame comes from a part of a common fortuneteller name. Clairvoya has the ability to read fortunes by examining personal belongings. She also owns a [[Crystal Ball|crystal ball]] to help her see events to come. However, according to [[Professor E. Gadd]]'s [[Game Boy Horror]], the ball lets Clairvoya see less than 49 days into the future. Clairvoya's portrait number in Professor E. Gadd's gallery is 7. | ||

Madame Clairvoya is located in the [[Fortune-teller's Room]], but she does not reveal herself unless Luigi shines his flashlight on the crystal ball and lets it shine. During [[Luigi]]'s search for his brother [[Mario]], he discovers five objects that Mario lost in the mansion; [[Mario Cap|Mario's Hat]], [[Mario's Glove]], [[Mario's Shoe]], [[Mario's Letter]], and [[Mario's Star (item)|Mario's Star]]. | Madame Clairvoya is located in the [[Fortune-teller's Room]], but she does not reveal herself unless Luigi shines his flashlight on the crystal ball and lets it shine.

Through her readings, Clairvoya predicts the arrival of the evil [[Bowser]] (who is actually just [[King Boo]] in the final battle using a mechanical - though lifelike - Bowser decoy). After this final prediction, Clairvoya loses her powers of precognition. | Through her readings, Clairvoya predicts the arrival of the evil [[Bowser]] (who is actually just [[King Boo]] in the final battle using a mechanical - though lifelike - Bowser decoy).

Because she is afraid of Bowser and feels her purpose is fulfilled, Madame Clairvoya begs Luigi to return her to her portrait frame. She exposes her heart so Luigi can suck her up and, before he shines his flashlight on her, she giggles at the thought of returning to her "''sanctuary''" portrait and locks up the doors so Luigi can not go out. All Luigi has to do is turn on the flashlight, shine it on her, turn on his [[Poltergust 3000]], and suck her up. In spite of this, Madame Clairvoya struggles slightly with the capture, though her pull is the weakest of any ghost with a heart, not moving Luigi much at all. | Because she is afraid of Bowser and feels her purpose is fulfilled, Madame Clairvoya begs Luigi to return her to her portrait frame.
