Lady Lima (マメばあ?), is a Beanish and the ambassador of the Beanbean Kingdom. She appeared in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and reappeared in Bowser's Minions.
She was truly seen at the Beanbean Castle Sewers when she approached Mario and Luigi. Lady Lima's perplexity hinted that somebody else trapped them to distract them by fixing the sewer system. Lady Lima seemed like to appear at the prologue, despite Cackletta morphing into her form in order to steal Peach's voice.
