The Pop Diva (whose real name is Chanterelle) is a purple Toad singer featured in Paper Mario. Her given name is a play on "chanterelle," which is a species of edible mushroom, and "chanteuse," a word for a female singer of popular songs who frequents nightclubs.
The Pop Diva is introduced as a singer that performs at Club 64, located in Toad Town's port on its westernmost side. It is established that she has become severely depressed after the kidnapping of Princess Peach, rendering her unable to sing. Mario has to bring the Pop Diva a song. To do so, he must find the Lyrics, written by the Master Poet. He must then find Toad in the Desert to have music added to the Lyrics in order to obtain the Melody, which the Pop Diva requires to reawaken her natural vocal ability. There is no clue provided by the game as to where the composer lives; the Lyrics simply say they must be taken to a composer "somewhere in the world." When Mario manages to give the Pop Diva the completed composition, she sings in tune for him. She then rewards him with an Attack FX D Badge. Afterwards, the player can ask her to re-sing the song for Mario and the Club 64 patrons as many times as desired.
The Pop Diva later appears with her two Toad instrumentalists, conducted by the Master Poet, in the game's credits. The song is also heard at the very end of the game with the "The End" screen for a while when Peach and Mario are at the castle, overlooking the fireworks.
