'''Jolene''', also known as "'''X'''", is a female [[Toad]] who resides in [[Glitzville]], and used to be the assistant of [[Grubba]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. She works in the [[Glitz Pit]].

 

Mario enters the tournament of Glitzville, and as he advances in rank, some of the fighters start to go missing. He also starts getting E-mails from a strange person called "X". One such E-mail tells him to look in the attic of the building, where he finds the crumpled bodies of fellow fighters [[KP Pete|King K]] and Bandy Andy. While exiting the attic, he spies Jolene about to enter, then sees her quickly running out again when she sees him.

However, at the end of the chapter, it is revealed that Grubba is actually behind this. After Mario defeats [[Macho Grubba]], Jolene walks in and tells him that she is actually the sister of the old champion of the Glitz Pit, [[Prince Mush]]. Prince Mush disappeared, and Jolene suspected Grubba of kidnapping him, explaining why she got a job as his secretary: so that she could learn his secrets. She also revealed that she was actually "X", and had sent Mario the E-mails so that he would unknowingly help her uncover the mystery, as she thought he would be the only one who could defeat Grubba.

She goes on to question the now-defeated Grubba about her brother, but Grubba simply says that Prince Mush "ain't around these parts no more". Grief-stricken, Jolene is surprised when Prince Mush suddenly appears from the [[Gold Star]] Grubba was using to power his machine; Grubba had been using Prince Mush to give the Crystal Star more power. Happily reunited with her brother, Jolene grants Mario the third Crystal Star, so that the tragic events caused by it may never reoccur. She then goes on to become the manager and referee of the Glitz Pit, taking over the Match Reservation System and the rest of Grubba's duties for the remainder of the game.

When not at work, Jolene can be found at Glitzville's [[Fresh Juice Bar|juice bar]]; though not stated outright, it is heavily implied throughout the game, mainly from her recognizable appearance. This would also explain her going into bathrooms and not coming out: she actually just changes her clothes and no one recognizes her, although it is also implied that she uses a certain "man-eating toilet" to warp from room to room via the bathroom, like Mario did when a security guard locked him in an abandoned locker room. Also, when X tells Mario to get the [[Super Hammer]] from [[Podler]] in an e-mail, "Jolene" is not present.

Take care, Jolene

[[Goombella]] can use [[Tattle]] on Jolene after she escorts Mario to the minor-league locker room of the [[Glitz Pit]] but before Mario leaves for first match, when she is inside [[Glitzville]]'s [[Fresh Juice Bar]] without her glasses and suit, and when she is in her Glitz Pit office after Chapter 3.
