- —Spiralia, Mario & Luigi: Brothership
Spiralia is a character in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. She is a purple Concordian, and the cord coming from the top of her head is styled to look like a braided ponytail. She wears bright blue eyeshadow and a dark purple dress with a spiral design on it. Her name comes from "spiral" and the feminine name ending "-lia".
Spiralia is from Twistee Island, where she makes and sells hair wax (that also works on facial hair). Mario and Luigi find her stuck on a perch in the island's woods, unable to get back to her shop. The brothers must carry her back while avoiding any bugs on the way, as Spiralia is terrified of them. Once she is back at her shop, she gives Mario and Luigi her MaxGlam Wax, which they need to cheer up Dyode.
In the side quest Spiralia's New Creation, Spiralia asks Mario and Luigi to test out the new Puzzle Panels she made.
Spiralia is one of the attendees at Burnadette and Chilliam's wedding. During the credits, she can be seen shopping at a store run by both Maykit and Billdit.
